I have a niece in VA who works in Education
she can't wait til Youngkin goes - the school she used to work for had to have armed guards for PTA meetings because of MAGAts showing up objecting to masks during covid threatening to shoot it up if their kid had to wear a mask and I assume get a vaccine

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

Get a load of this insanity 🔽

According to Russian propaganda, Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s power grid are “humanitarian in nature” because their goal is to save the lives of Ukrainian citizens.

In case anyone missed this

Erdoğa said that Trump ended Halkbank’s criminal case after talks w him. He said that Trump told him “The Halkbank problem is finished for us.”

Halkbank was helping Iran evade taxes and launder billions.

Now I see it this for the pure genius that it is.

There were hoping for scary young men throwing molotov cocktails to fit their narrative so they could start shooting people.

Instead they got dancing cartoon characters showing the country and the world how ridiculous their nazi coslplay is.

European nations, including France, are among the staunchest supporters of Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Several have also stepped up their imports of Russian energy which pump billions of euros into Moscow's wartime economy.

Honest question: Would 20 billion to "bail" Argentina out, including buying out elections and rigging them, most definitely committing other crimes, really save it from a downward socioeconomic spiral, or would it simply delay the inevitable?
REALLY CURIOUS how 20b supposedly "fixes" a country 🤷‍♂️

As Ukraine braces for another night of attacks by Russia, let's remember the little angel who was killed by Putin's horde last night.

7 year old Makar Dorosha was critically injured in Zaporizhzhia, and died in hospital soon afterwards.

I was explaining last night that the bad weather would hamper air defence and President Zelenskyy has this evening said the same. Ukraine's President said numbers repelled were down 20-30%.

Zelenskyy also said they need to protect 200+ more places of critical infrastructure.
