Quick refs for Russia’s genocidal acts in Ukraine:
- multiple independent reports have demonstrated that Russians have raped, murdered, tortured, and kidnapped Ukrainians, including children.
- western countries have accused Russia of genocide in Ukraine

New: The contents of a hacked computer belonging to John Mark Dougin, an American ex-cop living in Russia, offer documentary evidence that he worked with the FSB and GRU to peddle disinformation. He liaised with GRU Unit 29155 the originator of the Ukraine biolabs hoax, and his "moment of triumph came in June 2026, when information from his investigation was endorsed by @TulsiGabbard, who was serving as director of national intelligence in the Trump administration." https://t.co/yUTo5ZAEq7

Holy shit… they uploaded this American ex-cop-turned-ᵣussian-spy’s laptop as a website that lets you view everything… this is crazy.

Good morning, Europe. Good morning, Moscow.

And a very good morning to John Mark Dougan: former Palm Beach County deputy, Moscow resident since 2016, and, according to Microsoft, Clemson University and Recorded Future, one of the people behind Storm-1516 / CopyCop.

👀 👀/This is a slide from one of John Mark Dougan's leaked files, and that I've translated below:

"The media operation involves not only distributing AI-generated articles aimed at a target audience, but also another, equally important aspect: creating its own news that has a significant impact.

Through brainstorming sessions, our team develops ideas that are then implemented both on our platforms and on official information resources.

An example of such work is a news story developed by our team about Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz. We meticulously prepared every element of the story, from the documents to the emotional component. Following this, an interview was arranged with a popular English-language blogger and journalist with a large audience. The story quickly spread on the X platform, receiving thousands of shares, comments, and millions of views. The story was picked up by news channels and bloggers with over 3 million followers, leading to widespread accusations against Tim Walz and the emergence of similar initiatives.

This is just one example of viral news developed by our team and successfully promoted in Western information spaces among our target audience."

@TalentMngrLANY @WonderKing82 Absolutely. She’s brilliant.

@FraLorik @HollandAmerica8 This is what western ᵣussiophiles don’t understand. Almost all ᵣussians live a 3rd world life with no possible escape trajectory because they’re from an ethnic group that had been occupied for hundreds of years. Even most of the white ᵣussians have a terrible quality of life.

@Beefeater_Fella Lol ᵣussia doesn’t have Canada’s pull with the IIHF. Canada doesn’t bicker about hockey and the IIHF knows everyone is on the same page here. The entire hockey world supports Ukraine. The ᵣussians won’t win a fight with Canada.

Jesus, this man is just sad. I think he wants to be a martyr… he’s about a week away from doing the Die Hard 3 sandwich board. 🙄

@tangshiyer @grok How the fuck is it uncertain?! Taiwan is a sovereign nation. China is massive and has enough, they don’t need and certainly don’t own Taiwan.

HOUSE MINORITY WHIP KATHERINE CLARK's office sent out this note to members about the TCAVA vote:

"After publicly announcing a recorded vote on TCAVA, House Republicans asked if RM Takano and Democrats would agree to last minute engrossment corrections. While RM Takano and staff were evaluating these changes away from the podium, House Republicans called the vote up and passed it by voice within minutes — depriving RM Takano of the ability to even evaluate the proposed changes and ask for a recorded vote so Members could vote against the biggest cut to veterans benefits in US history."

Yelizarov, founder of drone battalion that destroyed $12B worth of Russian equipment: Ukraine needs a $20,000–$25,000 missile that can shoot down Shahed drones in fog, rain and wind.

We’ve hit a speed ceiling with drones. Software and AI must give us the next edge, — DOU. 1/

@RayESmithJr Time to update your profile, doc! You’re no longer a candidate. 😀

Omsk (21 MM ton/yr, largest) is the jewel in the 🇷🇺 refining system. The is the 6th strike on this refinery and if it went on for hours, clearly 🇺🇦 is doing one of the concentrated attacks to take it all offline. Get em down and keep down 🇺🇦

@avedjema @beper_mcskeper Of course!

Kyiv Mayor Klitschko: Kyiv has the largest district heating system in the world. If it is destroyed, a city of over 3 million can be left without heat.

What Russia is doing is genocide. It wants to make Kyiv unfit to live in, to freeze people.

@Ian_Schwartzman @Ian_Schwartzman what’s the deal with those Bread Man and Queen Flipz dudes who say all the crazy shit online and claim they’re cool with y’all? They were talking about some crazy shit with slurs and talking about mailing a dead fetus to a lady’s ex?! They’re loose cannons.

@aaronjmate Ukrainians exercising their sovereign right to resist genocide against ᵣussian imperialists and you’re calling that a “proxy war”? JFC, please tell me you’re not actually credentialed. 🤣
