This was the best moment. Until the establishment democrats stole it by handing over all their delegates to a losing candidate.

Love for a city. The Kremlin just doesn't get that the city is more than something mapped between hard borders, movable jigsaw pieces like on #maps of Stalin. Cities are more than landmarks or strategic structures, the made & unmade. Odesa is its people & they will not be broken.

He’s a small man with a big mouth and he’s single-handedly undermining the U.S. military. For the first time in 248 years, the U.S. Marine Corps doesn’t have a commander. It’s time to shine a big spotlight on @SenTuberville.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has just announced another “cleansing” of the voter rolls. This time a total of 191,473 voters are set to be purged.

NEW: Truckers used to make $100K+ per year. Now many drivers are homeless.

So what happened?

Trucking was deregulated — letting billionaires and big box stores like Walmart crush workers across an entire industry.

🚨 🧵 Source to Osechkin: Wagner continues to silently recruit through July 28th. They are telling the recruits the goal is to advance 700km inside Poland over a 2 week operation.

Note: I think this is a classic FSB operation to stretch Poland's resources. They won't invade but Poland & NATO will have to waste energy and money just in case.

MUSLIMS IN MOSCOW PROTESTING

Muslims in Moscow 🇷🇺, which make up 13% of the population - mostly from Central Asia - took to the streets today with chants of “Allah akbar,” against the 🇷🇺 police.

Russia is closer to collapse than you think.

It is coming: Putin WILL fall.

[John Gibbons 🇵🇸 @think_or_swim]

Ok, a tornado.
In Milan.
In Italy.
In July.

What next? Giant hailstones?
(Well, yes)

[Katie Hill @KatieHill4CA]

Honestly really depressing that the thing that made me leave Congress - nonconsensually shared intimate images - are now being openly displayed IN Congress.

The GOP is the party of revenge porn.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

10K+ hotel workers went on strike. 11K TV & movie writers are striking with 160K actors. Up to 150K UAW workers are ready to strike. 340K UPS workers are preparing to walk off the job – which could be the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history.

This is a moment.

KYIV 🇺🇦 HAS BECOME MORE BEAUTIFUL!

The Soviet emblem has been removed from the Motherland Monument in Kyiv 🇺🇦; replaced with the 🇺🇦 trident.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 wants nothing to do with modern 🇷🇺-fascism or 🇷🇺-introduced communism.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 wants to be free.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 will be free!

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

Trump is threatening violence if he’s sent to jail.

Which means Trump has been told that he may be sent to jail, without bail, pending trial.

[Popular Liberal 🇺🇸 @PopularLiberal]

REMINDER: Let us examine the factual fraud that Donald Trump and his family have been proven guilty of, which entails Trump misappropriating funds from his own charitable foundation. #DemVoice1 #FreshVotesBlue

[Thom Hartmann @Thom_Hartmann]

Holy crap: this is pure FDR!

[LanaQuest aka RosaSparks @LqLana]

In 1944, a group of white men lynched Reverend Isaac Simmons, a minister and farmer who owned 270 acres of land in Mississippi because they believed the land had oil deposits. Goal- to steal his land and profit from it.

Oh, they weren’t finished after killing the Reverend. The men then brutally beat his son and ran him out of the county.

This is one story of many where racially motivated killings of Black people in the Jim Crow South resulted in farms and land being violently stolen to profit and benefit white farmers.

This is what they’re hiding while telling Black folks to pick themselves up by the “bootstraps.”#FreshVoicesRise #BlackHistoryWithLana

BREAKING: A teenager in Nebraska is being jailed for 3 months for aborting her baby after @Meta handed the police private Facebook messages she exchanged with her mother.

@Meta is now acting as an arm of the police.

Yesterday's North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly is Code UFB!

A record 1.50°C (4.45σ) above the 1991-2020 mean, the most over average of any day measured this year.

And the running joke is getting old, but yes, I will probably have to extend the y-axis again tomorrow.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

NEW: 85 people in Arizona suffered severe burns from contact with pavements heated up to 180F (82C). 7 of them died. In total, 257 people had underlying cause of death listed as "exposure to excessive natural heat".

This is not a forecast for 50 years time, it’s happening today.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Remember, Ginni Thomas is the spouse to a sitting Supreme Court Justice - the same Justice who was the LONE dissenter when it came to rejecting Trump's request to withhold documents in the Jan. 6 investigation. This corruption goes all the way to the top.
