I wrote my paper on this in law school last year! Shit you not, I didn't know what to call it and with minutes left on the clock I typed out:
"The Law of Disinformation: The Right Not To Be Emotionally Harmed Or To Lose A Democracy"
...anyway that was in April of 2024. But who could have known!?
2/ The Russian Central Bank, along with its Chairwoman, Elvira Nabiullina, appears to be advocating for a more cautious monetary policy amidst rising inflationary pressure.
Iโm not sure the exact circumstances here, but when we heard about people who werenโt getting paid on some construction projects far from home
- They didnโt have the money to leave
- If they worked they at least got fed in the canteen.
Eating was a motivator
In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record:
The Resistance Libs Were Right.
It's a bit of a hard stop when you realize how much your social media feeds (RIP Twitter) have been amply supplying all your PACER needs by way of the posters' good practices.
Anyway how do I use this thing for following the fights for the rule of law? Can you set up searches and alerts? How?
I wish NASA would livestream a space walk mission every day.
Damn, that stream was a cool companion to my boring day in front of a heap of messy drafts.
US #fellas time to dust off* the old "What Airdefense Doing?" t-shirt and go asking November's candidates why anyone wouldn't immediately send Patriot air defense to Ukraine.
We know geopolitics doesn't move polls, but we aren't as stupid & cruel as our Executive & supine Congress.

O'Hare just warned that deputies are prepared to arrest people. So far, he's flipped out twice: 1) a speaker said "bullshit" 2) a speaker compared Tarrant County Republicans to Russia
โIt is profitless to speculate on error.โ Once again I must stress that my grandmother talked like this all the fucking time, she could have been describing a salad that wasnโt as good as she was hoping it would be
I'm not ungrateful to my senators, Cruz and Cornyn, for supporting sanctions on russian banks and shadow fleets, which are threats to democracy and threats to coastal regions inhabited and beloved by many.
"With Russia, you either kneel or you are the enemy. There is nothing in between."
Former Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitฤ on meeting Putin in 2010โand why Lithuania immediately built an LNG terminal to completely cut off Russian gas.
The defense of Kyiv by the regions of the north and all who assembled there in critical and decisive battles is underappreciated as a people's history. Anyway Ukraine is the military power now and russia is so casually fucked. Also s/o

That Zelensky takes Loomer seriously enough to meet with her is an even worse indicator. (And before folks weigh in -- no, this meeting was not necessary to "win over MAGA"; it was not ever necessary to "win over Loomer". If that's a priority in a war, ask why -- and follow the money and networks.)
this fella Tanker Watch IE is doing excellent work.
IE is the internet code for Ireland. I'm a dumb Texan so I had to check.
fucking greek shippers making blood cash should rot.
A British Flagged vessel is transporting Bauxtie from Guinea to Aughinish. Having made the standard refueling stop in the Canaries like all the other ships.
The ship management company is registered in Greece with a RU email.

But since you mentioned ICE and Louisiana, new facility for kids may be in possible violation of tax rules, according to a former IRS lawyer.

Sen. McCormick: "As you see in chart 2, red areas circled in green is all that Russia's been able to conquer in last 18 months. This is not Russian war machine on the march. It's war machine that's grinding itself to dust. Ukraine done it through courage, ingenuity, innovation."
I'd extend my argument to say what we face is not a crisis of facts, but a crisis of consequences. If the public loses faith in the ability for facts to result in consequences, then populist and authoritarian movements that offer consequences operate as a counterfeit for functional democracy.

The better to enjoy the intersecting multitude of russia's money crises by!
This isn't just an iconic video.
It's the moment Ukraine's future Commander-in-Chief broke through a Russian barricade in Mariupol in 2014 and prevented Russians from taking the city.
well that will all change when we relocate 500K civically engaged and progressive lesbians to both dakotas and wyoming in an effort to gain 6 senate seats
James Talarico had one message about Jasmine Crockett.
โKeep her name out your mouthโฆ Sheโs a leader in this state, a leader in this country, and she deserves the utmost respect.โ ๐ฅ
Thatโs what leadership looks like.

I was training up to fight for reproductive justice after hours and on weekends. I thought that my villain was TRAP laws. Autocracy was always just a hobby.
But here we are.
Slava Ukrainii.
I decided to start a new wholesome Substack about Ukraine and small actions that could help support it.
It's called The Incremental Change Club, and everyone who cares about Ukraine is invited โค๏ธ
