Agent Krasnov is doing a great job for his real master.
I must say, I never gave that theory much credence, but am beginning to reconsider....

Imagine if that would instead have been funneled to Ukraine in order to fight off the Russian invasion... Wouldn't that have made the world a far safer place for Americans (and everyone else)?

Cheers! Have a stiff one, I think you might need it.

More relevant than ever.

So Russia is giving Iranians targeting information to hit US forces, and as a thank you Scott Blessent wants to reduce sanctions on Russian oil. Also, the US needs Ukrainian c-uas drones to take out the Iranian shaheds that fly on Russian intel.

That was today

I'm going to have a drink.

What a lovely picture!! Thanks for that spark of light today 😊

As soon as they are out of office they all need to be prosecuted!!

I moved to Spain some years ago. Im sooo proud of my new home country!!

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Governo federal revoga decreto que privatizava rios da Amazônia após um mês de ocupação indígena no Tapajós Decisão foi confirmada pelo governo federal após reunião, em Brasília, com lideranças indígenas e a ministra dos Povos Indígenas Sonia Guajajara.

In #Brazil, after a monthlong occupation at the Cargill port by Indigenous peoples from the Tapajós region, the Brazilian government has reversed course on its decree to privatize rivers in the Amazon. By Fábio Bispo, Jullie Pereira, and Samantha Rufino for InfoAmazonia…

No person should ever have $1 billion in wealth, it’s a crime against the economy! Kat is 100% correct!

Failed Tory Ministers
haven't flocked to Reform Ltd
to escape Conservative
hypocrisy, corruption, greed

They've joined Reform Ltd
because they think it has
bigger & better lies,
fewer obstacles to corruption
and they'll get richer even quicker

Absolutely right!. Citizens united versus FEC was an awful supreme court ruling. In my opinion, one of the most important things to overturn as soon as possible

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

The truth is exactly the opposite. The rest of us should be grateful to Ukraine.

#TaxTheRich
Nobody needs billions. Tax everything above 100 million 90+%. Use that money to improve schools, healthcare and infrastructure. Everyone wins, and with 100 million the richest of the world can still live in insane luxury

Can you post the references for these nrs please? Having lived in Germany and Spain, my observations dont match these nrs. Perhaps because education in Spain is decentralised and this does not represent the area where I live (Catalonia)?

Such a powerful image in Le Monde.
