Hospitals. Homes. Civilian stores.
A 17-year-old killed. A 44-year-old woman killed. A 10-year-old pulled from the rubble. Dozens evacuated.
In just 3 days, Russia breached the Geneva Conventions at least 17 times.
This is not collateral damage. This is a pattern.
💔 Zaporizhzhia. The city's been under Russian attack since morning. Three people were killed. A 17-year-old boy among them.
One of the strikes hit a five-story residential building. More than 50 people were injured, including eight children. Many residents were trapped in their apartments.
A concrete slab fell on one of the rescuers while he was clearing rubble. He died.
Devastating.
Deepest condolences.
@h_illify@AzPetrich His home base is Vermont. Most politicians in Washington have an extra place in DC and his 3rd residence is a summer cabin. It doesn’t seem unreasonable.
@TheSkaggs@AzPetrich 👍 But it’s too late.
We should have listened to Hillary.
We should have listened to Lindsey (in 2016).
We should have listened to Marco (in 2016).
We should have listened to Cruz (in 2016).
We should have listened to McCain (in 2018).
We effed up.
We never listen.
Kallas on Witkoff/Kushner: "We have institutions in place, so we can't just send any person who has no institutional role, like the Americans are sending. Clearly, we should not copy the same patterns."
The ability of this woman to grill people in the sweetest voice 🤌
@AP Korean Airlines was allowed to take off from LAX a few minutes ago, probably heading to SEL so it appears some international flights are still on schedule.
@GREGLIONS The President can appoint persons to be mediators and can send an envoy to represent 🇺🇸
I’m not saying it’s a good choice but what does this have to do with 🇮🇱
🚨Nick Shirley, the 24-year-old MAGA “independent journalist” who has appeared at the White House with Trump and JD Vance, has pulled down his viral takedown of a family-run Seattle grocery and retracted his bogus election fraud claim.
In October, Shirley accused Lam’s Seafood Asian Market of EBT fraud. His voiceover claimed “one can of Spam and one thing of sushi was $120.” He tagged the DOJ, FBI and White House, demanding Lam’s be shut down. The video drew nearly 600,000 views, per KIRO 7.
Lam’s said the purchase was a full case of 24 Spam cans, which accounts for the total.
Now Shirley says: “I have not uncovered any evidence that Lam’s itself engaged in EBT fraud, or that Lam’s colluded with the woman in the video who was attempting to use the EBT card.” The videos are gone. Per the Seattle Times, Lam’s sent Shirley a cease-and-desist letter 30 days ago.
The correction came after the damage was already done. Lam’s was losing customers and fielding abusive calls. The Lynnwood Times reports the store has retained legal counsel to consider a lawsuit. No suit has been reported filed.
This is the second time Shirley’s fraud-hunting has fallen apart. In December, Shirley posted a video claiming Somali-run Minnesota day cares took public funds without children attending. It drew GOP praise and Trump administration action. After the video, investigators from Minnesota’s Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) visited nine of the ten centers. Per CBS Minnesota, they found children at eight of them. The ninth hadn’t yet opened for the day. The 19th reports the tenth, Mako Childcare Center, has been closed since 2022 and got no funds in that time.
Accuse first, tag the feds, collect the views, retract later. The influencer moves on. Shirley’s victims pays the price.
Conservative Wanna be Journalist Nick Shirley had to retract & delete his video accusing Seattle’s Lam’s seafood market of EBT fraud after they served him a cease & desist letter.
@Suzierizzo1 After all the documented war crimes over the past 5 years,
I’m not a bit surprised that Russians would do such an egregious thing.
It typifies what Muscovy culture has done in all its ugly history and is the ultimate betrayal against kidnapped Ukrainian children 😡
