The list of Russia’s latest “victories” over the past few days has grown to include the Yagotynske for Children plant, which produced food products for children. In the Kyiv region, rescue efforts are ongoing at the site of this strike – units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine have already extinguished the fire. As of now, seven people have been reported injured. Tragically, four people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

Also on this list are food warehouses and a postal facility in the Dnipro region, an ambulance in Kherson, a school building in the Sumy region, port infrastructure in the Odesa region, ordinary residential buildings, and an outpatient clinic building in the Kharkiv region.

Russia continues its war against life, and everyone who helps us is truly standing up to defend it. Every support package with anti-ballistic defense, every joint agreement on weapons production, every step the world takes in sanctions against Russia – all of this helps protect people’s lives. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine! It is important for all of us together to force Russia to end their war and move toward diplomacy.

An Israeli soldier testifies UNDER OATH that October 7th was a FALSE FLAG, and that he was ordered to STAND DOWN from 5:20am to 9am the day of the attack.

You could face up to 5 years in prison for sharing this video in Israel.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “Hey, remember this little guy? His name is Greg Bovino. He led Donald Trump’s chaotic, violent, inept paramilitary invasions of multiple U.S. cities until he was fired a couple of months ago. Mr Bovino has been spending his retirement lamenting that he was not able to achieve his personal dream of deporting nearly A THIRD of the U.S. population. He’s also posted photos like this one on social media [Hitler salute]. He posted that photo just before jetting off to a White supremacist conference in Portugal this weekend. He was the special guest at a gathering of European far far far right politicians and activists who advocate for making Europe more White.”😳

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.

Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.

The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.

Israel is doing to Lebanon what they did to Gaza…

They didn't carry weapons; they carried memories and a simple dream of going home.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”

لا أعتقد أن البشرية منذ خُلق آدم عليه السلام شهدت جريمة أكثر بشاعةً من هذه،

خلال حرب الإبادة قبل عامين..

أجبر الجيش الإسرائيلي الأطباء على ترك الأطفال الخدج وإخلاء المستشفى، ثم قاموا بقطع الكهرباء عنهم، مما أدى إلى مقتلهم جميعاً على الفور

وبعد انسحاب الجيش الاسرائيلي من المستشفى وجدّ الأطباء جثث الأطفال متحللة بالكامل في مشهد سوداوي من الخيانه نسيانه.

Se ha revelado una de las escenas más horribles de la historia de la humanidad.

Sky News completely destroys the Zionist regime's primary excuse for bombing Lebanon. The reporter confirms there is absolutely zero evidence of military activity in the civilian homes Israel is obliterating.

Washington is funding pure state terrorism!

How many ordinary Americans even know this is happening, let alone support sending their tax dollars to fund it? If only Americans knew…

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

These are international civilians, innocent of any crime, who have been illegally abducted in international waters by Israel. That’s what we’re looking at here.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws]

⚡️BREAKING:

The New York Times obtained autopsy reports for 14 of the 15 people killed in the March 23 Israeli attack on an ambulance and fire truck in Gaza.

The reports show that most victims—paramedics and rescue workers—were killed by gunshots to the head, chest, or back. Four were shot directly in the head [executed]. Others had shrapnel wounds. Despite wearing medical uniforms and traveling in marked vehicles with sirens, they were shot multiple times at close range.

Israel initially lied about the crime committed then later took responsibility once the lies were exposed. The 15 victims included 14 rescue workers and a UN employee. Israeli soldiers buried the bodies in a mass grave and crushed and buried the ambulances, fire truck, and UN vehicle.

The Wrong Side of History Has a Very Specific Smell

By Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Ben Hodges is not a man who wastes words. The former commanding general of US Army Europe has spent the better part of three years telling anyone who would listen that Ukraine was going to win, that Russia was going to lose, and that the only real question was how much unnecessary dying would happen in between. He has now added a postscript, and it is not a comfortable one: America, he says, is going to deeply regret what it failed to do.

He is, of course, absolutely right.

Ukraine is not merely surviving this war. It is industrialising it. The country that Russia expected to fold in 72 hours has spent three years building one of the most sophisticated drone warfare ecosystems on the planet, developing long-range strike capabilities that have genuinely rattled the Kremlin, and producing battle-hardened soldiers who have forgotten more about modern combined-arms warfare than most NATO generals have ever learned. When this war ends, Ukraine will not be a grateful, shell-shocked recipient of Western charity. It will be the single most capable and battle-tested defence industry in the World. Full stop.

And the United States, which spent the last stretch of this conflict flirting with the aggressor, slow-walking ammunition, blocking long-range strikes, and sending its president to Mar-a-Lago to take phone calls from Putin like a middle manager hoping to avoid a performance review, will have precisely zero claim on any of that.

Now imagine the day it ends.

Imagine a billion people in the streets. Kyiv, Warsaw, Tallinn, Berlin, London, Tokyo, Seoul, every city that understands what it means when a free country refuses to die. The flags, the tears, the noise of it. The sheer, thunderous relief of a world that held its breath for years and can finally exhale. It will be one of those moments that gets burned into the collective memory of a generation, the kind that people will tell their grandchildren about with the particular pride of having been on the right side.

And America will watch it on television.

Not as a liberator. Not as the arsenal of democracy, the role it once played and once deserved. It will watch as the country that looked at the greatest struggle for freedom in a generation and decided, at the critical moment, to see which way the wind was blowing before quietly backing the wrong horse. The Stars and Stripes will not be waving in Maidan that day. Ukrainian children will not be naming their sons after American presidents. The defence contracts, the partnerships, the strategic relationships, the soft power that the United States spent eighty years accumulating as the world’s indispensable nation: all of it auctioned off for nothing.

There is a particular kind of shame that comes not from doing something terrible, but from failing to do something obvious.

The historical record does not grade on a curve, and it has no sympathy for anyone who says they were confused about which side was which.

Russia invaded. Ukraine bled. The rest of the world chose.

America, under its current management, is choosing badly. And when that billion people starts dancing, the silence from Washington will be the loudest sound in the room.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

A president's trading of securities for his personal account can in no way be argued to constitute activity that falls within the "outer perimeter" of his "official responsibilities." If it is based on inside information used in violation of his fiduciary responsibilities, it is brazenly criminal conduct, and he would not be immune from prosecution for that criminal conduct even under the Supreme Court's 2024 decision in his favor in the Jan. 6 case.
