🚨Turning point: Russia is cutting oil production.

As oil prices drop to a net loss per barrel and some remains unsold, production is being cut and output is now 250k barrels a day below Russia's OPEC+ quota.

Restarting a stopped oil well is expensive, and sometimes impossible.

Or Russia. Not a coincidence that dissidents from authoritarian nations and reporters that covered those places have been waving their arms over what the Trump White House has been doing since 2017 while most US opposition and media have been sedately concerned. It’s not confusing to us at all.
So much has gone wrong in US press reporting on Trump because the White House reporters are people who have exclusively covered US politics.

They need people who have worked in Hungary, Turkey, etc. The relevant knowledge isn't Reagan factoids; it's the dynamics of competitive authoritarianism.

Venezuela should stop provoking Donald by existing near USA, declare neutrality, make English and official language and choose a new leader Trump likes.

Apparently that's how this works.

Venezuela should de-escalate by trading land for peace, pledge neutrality and now choose a leader Donald approves of.

That's how it was supposed to work when we do this to our neighbors.
The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.

This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.

It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Apparently Donald's plan to prevent communism in America is to create a secret police who act like the soviet KGB.
ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security. It's a "papers-please" America where freedom is conditional and innocence comes last.

🚨Investigation proves Russian ships likely behind drone incidents over Europe.

There is evidence that ties 3 cargo ships to many drone incidents over Germany. And it was a complex and expensive operation involving months of refits to ships, and the ship crews were Russians.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

Want to know how scared Russia is? Watch their actions.

From "Kyiv in 3 days", to disconnecting mobile internet until "the end of the war". The Kremlin is so afraid of drone sanctions that they are now taking measures that risk mass social unrest.

And the collapse continues.📉

Russia is significantly decreasing foreign currency sales, likely to prevent capital flight.

This month, foreign currency and gold sales will be cut 80%, with decreasing oil and gas revenue and spiking fuel prices cited.

They know their economy is in big trouble.📉🫟

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
