An angry conservative sent me a note promising to “ruin my life” like that’s some new endeavor and not a project I’ve been devoted to working on for years.

https://t.me/liveukraine_eng/3341 ⚠️🇷🇺Vladimir Putin's entourage misinforms him about the real state of affairs at the front. Every morning, the Russian leader receives a written report on the situation at the front, which is prepared in such a way as to emphasize successes and minimize failures. In addition, the information in the reports is usually late, as it is preliminary "processed" by the special services. #Ukraine #News #War #Russia

Several countries have a greater military capacity to destroy the Russian terrorist state than Ukraine does.

They should do so immediately.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the "Wagner" terrorist group, announced the recruitment of female prisoners to go to Ukraine as cannon fodder.

The Russian terrorist state has recruited 23,000 prisoners. They are used as "meat" in human-wave assaults to reveal Ukrainian defences.

https://t.me/KyivIndependent_official/13436 ⚠️🇷🇺Putin relies on hand-picked information feeding into his miscalculations on Ukraine war. The Wall Street Journal interviewed several current and former Russian officials and people close to the Kremlin who broadly described Vladimir Putin as an isolated leader who was "unable, or unwilling, to believe that Ukraine would successfully resist."

The Russians deplete their infantry reserves in futile attacks. The Ukrainians counter-attack with precision and make small advances.

In the past day the Russian occupiers lost control of the settlements of Kuzemivka and Kolomychykha in the direction of Svatove, Luhansk region.

After reading Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony, it's hard not to conclude that Mark Meadows is in deep legal doodoo. I know that's not a legal term, but it's apt.

The question is, with so much exposure, will Meadows flip on Trump? Perhaps he has already. We haven't heard much from him at all for some time now.

Critics say Elon Musk has been asleep at the wheel lately with Tesla, but he said not to worry because it's a completely safe, self-driving company.

https://t.me/United24media/2172 ⚠️🇮🇷 Iran is making a huge strategic mistake and undermining its credibility by pretending not to take sides in this war, when in fact it is supporting Russia, EU foreign and security chief Josep Borrell said. During the second Baghdad conference, in addition to discussing the situation directly in the region, the issue of military support provided by the Islamic Republic of the Russian Federation was raised. #Ukraine #News #War #Russia #Iran

Who remembers this Jim Acosta reply about Trump Admin:

Anderson Cooper: "Jim, is there anyone left in the administration who shakes their head when they hear the president rambling in the Rose Garden?"

Jim Acosta: "No, Anderson, we are down to Kool-Aid drinkers and next of kin."

I don’t get why people keep acting like building networks here is so hard. You just follow people. Want news? Follow orgs, journalists, and people who boost news. Look at and use hashtags. Check your local and federated feeds to find new people (just like the birdsite algorithm).

It does take work to get started on any new platform, but I think #Mastodon is worth the effort.
