🚨🚨All, as we enter the next (and final?) phase of the #Alumina21 campaign - we have decided to make some fancy amendments to our campaign website and add a briefing document for those who need to read it.
Please share this far and wide

Update on my daughter, Deirdre, her medical situation and our personal struggle. I cannot afford a blue check mark now, so I will post the update in replies to this post. Her condition has not improved, but stable. She is in enormous pain every day and struggles to walk now. 😞
If you have a little extra that you could spare, I have opened this GoFundMe to ask for help paying the rent. The link is here: https://t.co/TheubxsUa6 We would be eternally grateful for any donation. If we lose our rental, we will be doomed. 😑 Thank you very much. 🫶💙💛💕🙏
I hope it’s all becoming clearer.
The same people who spent years working to undermine support for Ukraine have now dropped the pretense entirely and openly aligned themselves with Russia.
Not with America’s interests. With Russia.
And in doing so, they have exposed what many of us have been arguing all along: this was never really about Ukraine.
Because supporting Ukraine was never an act of charity. It was an act of self-interest.
A weakened Russia is good for the United States. A Russia forced to expend its military, economic, and political power in a failed war of aggression is good for the United States. Demonstrating that borders cannot be changed by force is good for the United States. Showing China, Iran, and every other adversary that aggression carries consequences is good for the United States.
Instead, these voices chose to attack the country fighting our adversary rather than the adversary itself.
Now many have abandoned even the pretense of neutrality and openly defend Russia, a hostile power that has partnered with Iran, armed America’s enemies, worked against our interests across the globe, and repeatedly sought to weaken the United States and the West.
The irony is remarkable. Many claim to be champions of America First while making arguments that benefit Moscow at the expense of American power, American credibility, and American security.
The masks are off.
What was presented as opposition to aid for Ukraine has increasingly revealed itself as something far more damning: a willingness to excuse, rationalize, and even admire a regime whose interests are fundamentally opposed to our own.
Supporting Ukraine was always the America First position. True MAGA understood that from the beginning.

👉 Retailer Auchan refutes rumors about leaving the Russian market, the company continues its work and making Billions of Rubles in profits in Russia, and plans development in the country, the retailer said in a statement. Auchan has contributed offer ONE BILLION Rubles towards the Kremlin war coffers
👉 ⚡️Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed four principles to prevent the crisis in Ukraine from getting out of control and restore peace as soon as possible. The head of the Chinese state said this during a meeting in Beijing with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
"First, we must prioritize maintaining peace and stability and refrain from seeking selfish gain. Second, we must cool the situation rather than adding fuel to the fire. Third, we must create conditions for restoring peace and refrain from further escalating tensions. Fourth, we must reduce the negative impact on the global economy and refrain from undermining the stability of global industrial and supply chains,” the agency quoted the Chinese leader as saying.
👉 ❗️France intends to invite Russia to the celebrations dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy on June 6, reports radio station Europe 1. According to the radio station, “Russia will be represented at the ceremony in Normandy in June if Moscow accepts the invitation of the Elysee Palace.”
As the radio station writes, “despite the geopolitical situation,” it is “difficult to do without the presence of Russia” at the ceremony. “Despite the fact that the USSR did not directly participate in the landing on June 6, it made it possible by making the heaviest sacrifice during the Second World War: about 27 million Soviet citizens died in the fight against Germany,” the media writes. At the end of December 2023, Macron did not rule out that Putin could be invited to the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy in France in 2024, “if the situation in Ukraine changes.”
However… The Kremlin did not receive official invitations from France to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy - Peskov. Perhaps having indicted war criminals in attendance would complicate matters.
👉 ❗️Lifting the moratorium on the death penalty is a matter of changing the Constitution, said Elena Podnosova, candidate for Chairperson of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
“I think that this is a matter of changing the Constitution, and these are your powers (legislators). Judges are law enforcers, and as the issue is resolved, we will implement it,” Podnosova said at a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation, where Her candidacy for the post of Chairman of the RF Armed Forces was considered.
At the same time, according to her, her personal opinion coincides with the opinion of the former chairman of the Supreme Council Vyacheslav Lebedev. The latter, in turn, previously spoke out about the impossibility of returning the death penalty.
The chat is unverified. I do not endorse the views expressed, be wary of disinformation and DYOR. I monitor and translate Vatnik channels as a general mood check, so you don’t have to.
These translations and monitoring of Russian channels is light entertainment.

Another MAGA agitator barreled through a crowd of protesters at Delaney Hall and the Police stopped him and then did nothing. They’re going to end up killing someone because they’re allowed to get away with it.
@TheRickWilson Rick! This is a scammer!
The Rohoza’s have pocketed over $70,000 via 4 separate gofundme fundraisers. They play on people’s Ukraine sympathy but instead of sending the donos to Ukraine, she pockets it for herself!!!!

A secret department inside one of Russia's most prestigious universities has been quietly producing hackers, saboteurs, and spies for the GRU. Now 2,000+ leaked documents reveal exactly where its graduates end up — and what they do there. https://t.co/EBC2DLb8HC
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, NGO Life Guardians 🇳🇱 has delivered a massive number of anti-drone nets to Ukraine.🇺🇦
The nets are donated - mostly strong fishing nets. Their delivery depends entirely on donors who help fund the transport.
I know @DutchCossack personally. He works full-time for Ukraine, not just on the nets.
The more transport runs we can finance, the more nets can reach the front lines and save lives.
Details are in the tweet below. Please help if you can.
