95% of the time, I post/repost what I believe to be good info or something I can contribute that is relevant. Doubts about 4% but post it because it is considered trending or something to investigate.

I take the other 1% kinda hard, though.

The reporting on the Gazelle & Puma helicopters going to the Libyan National Army aligns with info I've received.
But it's unclear if there are export controls on the aircraft or that transponders were switched off, and I see no link to the Abakan Il-76 it mentions.

I was too young to appreciate the significance. It was something I was only able to fully appreciate later and looking back.

It was terrible and shocking, but an event that changed or defined me...? I think if anything, it's an event in which we all grew up some, and with some fiercely and tragically, but who I am today was shaped long before, I feel.

I know contextually this isn't what they wanted as far as answers (the point is, i guess, national or international events), but all of these events shaped me in ways I can only imagine how different of a person I would be today.

"People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene."

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 3d

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

Good morning, don’t forget to laugh at the ridiculous idiots trying to rule the world today.

You can get mad about it too. But don’t forget that 1st part. It really pisses them off.
