Why is Trump protecting Iran and covering up their cyberattack on our water system in Minnesota? This is so, so dangerous www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...
Russia’s Navy Day parade was canceled again this year due to drone threats from Ukraine. Instead of a fleet review there was a large banner of a submarine displayed for Putin 🤡
I can’t stop laughing. Ukrainians have started a new challenge: for people to log into a Russian app (via VPN) that tracks fuel availability and falsely report that gas is available at stations. Russians are wasting what little gas they have driving to these stations only to find out there’s no gas🤣
According to Russian media, Trump's ballroom commissioner, Rodney Mims Cook, told Russian press that Trump and the State Department permitted him to travel to Russia for the economic forum in St Petersburg. He also said the State Dept thought his travel to russia was a good idea. Disgusting
lol! Russian police are shooting at a Ukrainian drone in St Petersburg. This against the backdrop of Ukrainians hitting an oil terminal & other strategic targets as the SPIEF forum (Putin’s crown jewel) begins today. Hope Trump’s shady ballroom commissioner who is in St Petersburg gets a good show
The Russian military has begun repainting some vehicles with zebra stripes in an attempt to confuse Ukrainian AI drones. 🤡 ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/06/01/r...
A drone just hit a building in Romania. A few Telegram channels are reporting that it is a Russian drone and that 2 people are injured The incident happened in Galați, Romania
Ukraine continues its sanctions enforcement and it continues to be extremely effective Perm, Russia
Trump has extended a sanction waiver for Russia’s oil until mid-May. Everything to accommodate terrorist Russia This after Bessent said otherwise the other day. They all are liars ofac.treasury.gov/media/935526...
“I’m always at your service”: leaked calls between war criminal Lavrov and his asset Hungary’s FM How I wish someone would leak calls between Russia and Trump officials.
Federal agents take a photo of a legal observer in Maine who is videotaping them and say they are adding them to a database for “domestic terrorists” This is exactly what happens in Russia
Oh no, poor Canada can’t sit on this sham board with terrorist Putin and the rest of the banana republics. How will Canadians survive?
Just a reminder: these photos federal agents are taking are part of a growing surveillance state w no oversight. Agents use facial recognition, phone tracking, license plate readers, fused government databases built by contractors like Palantir. What was tested on immigrants is expanding to citizens
Russian terrorists are at it again as they strike homes with families sleeping inside. The below is in Kyiv right now The terrorists also reportedly launched the Oreshnik missile into Lviv. The world cannot become desensitized to this
And of course, silence from Trump and all the so-called hawkish Republicans Meanwhile, China is literally shooting missiles over Taiwan in its exercises. Maybe Trump will go hide under Putin’s desk 🤷🏼♀️
Russia is a terrorist state and anyone who supports this or praises Putin is reprehensible This is what Ukrainians have to go through every single damn day
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I am so grateful for all of you and for this community. Sending everyone lots of love ❤️ Also, please, please keep Ukrainians in your mind, as they have to go through this holiday season without power and under daily bombardment
This cartoon literally summarizes my article from the other day. I should learn to draw
Sadly not according to the whistleblower democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...
Trump’s nominee, Paul Ingrassia, to head Office of Special Counsel and accused of sexual harassment. But we can’t call them Nazis because legacy media insists that’s divisive and escalatory. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
So someone had a call with Rep Dave Taylor’s staffer and this was in the background. 🤦🏼♀️😡 www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
This was the DOJ criminal case. Remember when we had a DOJ 🤦🏼♀️ www.justice.gov/archives/opa...
Think Miller needs to send in a few more battalions. Maybe Hegseth can send some elite units. Things are getting dangerous in Portland
This is what America has come to. Anyone who supports this is a monster 🤬 We need accountability chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
I am holding my breath watching Moldova results come in. So far so good 🙏🏼 And Russia has been the most aggressive it has ever been. Will write a substack on it tomorrow
Remember when Russia did this during last year’s election. Now they are doing the same in Moldova Insane we never got information on the bomb threats being called into key polling places
Since Comey might be indicted soon a reminder that Trump disgracefully met with the Russians in the Oval Office allowing access only to Russian media Tass (spies) and bragged how he just fired “nut job” Comey and ended the investigation into Russia’s attack on the U.S. election
