Russia losing refining capabilities. Thus, they’re exporting more raw crude because they cant process it. Ports are at max. If this continues, they’ll have to shut in wells because it’ll have nowhere to go. In Siberia, capping a well usually damages it to the point it’s uneconomical to restart it. 🇺🇦

The Hill: Pete Hegseth’s “my way or the highway” speech directly attacked the values of many of the senior officers and enlisted members in the audience, and some of them may demonstrate their disgust by retiring.

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

We follow @michael-foote.bsky.social here on Bluesky but this video is from TikTok. We are working to translate it to Spanish and will repost it in Spanish shortly. So practical and helpful! Thanks for the crash course educating on the process to consider for anyone taken by ICE!

A talented protester played the theme to the “Schindler's List” with his violin at Portland’s ICE detention center last night.

I hope the world gets the message.

Someone should do a FOIA request for the raw footage of the videos they took of that Chicago raid and then edited into a fascist ad for ICE.

Say his name - Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. A father of two young children. Needlessly killed by ICE in Chicago. He had no criminal record. If ICE was not illegally occupying Chicago, he’d still be alive. We don’t trust the ICE account and will closely follow this story. Beyond sad
