The good news is that RomCom group's actions were discovered by Artic Wolf before they really had a chance to get their hooks in and do a lot of damage. There's still many continuous attempts by Russian hackers to gain access to, and disrupt businesses linked to Ukraine as well as US infrastructure.

Many countries around the world are beginning to realize the deceptive tactics Russia are using to trick foreign citizens into fighting for them. Some of these countries are now putting out warnings to their own people.

A good portion of people live in rural areas, where quick access to medical care isn't an easy task like it is in a big city. Botulism in infants needs to be detected and treated FAST, or the results can be horrendous. Organic is mainly a marketing term and doesn't not mean the best product.
I am changing my recommendation about buying ByHeart baby formula.

Earlier, I suggested not buying it “for the next little while”.

Now, I suggest considering “never” buying it.

An “organic” product does not mean a safe product.

A great article in @foreignaffairs.com about the "toothless" Trump sanctions on Russian oil, that people have been getting wrong. China is still buying lots of oil, and without secondary sanctions, this will protect Moscow

Ru proposed 28 points aiming to build on them and get even more. Instead, push back by Ukraine, Europe, and US public opinion + Senators has likely watered down some of the points, making it likely that Ru will reject the plan it initiated itself. The Trump admin will look like the chumps they are.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Trump sends Witkoff to Moscow. What can go wrong?

So now Canada is essentially an enemy nation to the US? Well, we all knew they were going to try to blame everyone else, I guess we'll see if they try to make a go at invading Canada over our "violations of human rights". 🙄
But posting a swastika, noose, or confederate flag is fine.
