My US friends who support Ukraine, despise this administration, who are sick of Trump and band of greedy oligarchs, SMASH THE SHARE BUTTON. SHARE. DONATE! No matter how small or big. every $ counts! @U24_gov_ua @414magyarbirds
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 AMERICANS: PUTIN PITCHED IT. TRUMP’S TEAM IS PUSHING IT. YOU DESERVE TO KNOW 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Up to $20 BILLION. That’s how much could flow to Russia’s oil giant Lukoil in a deal Trump’s own negotiators are pushing. Witkoff and Kushner are driving it. A US government arm and their families’ business partners are buying in. They call it “peace talks”. It’s a business deal. This comes after months of the administration waiving sanctions so Putin’s oil could keep selling on world markets. Make no mistake about where Russian oil money goes. It buys the missiles and Shahed drones that hit Ukrainian apartment blocks, hospitals and train stations, killing civilians while they sleep. Every dollar into Russian oil is a dollar into Putin’s war machine. Washington may be handing Putin a lifeline. You don’t have to. Helping hit Russian oil refineries cuts the head off the snake. You can make a difference right now from your phone. 📲 Download UNITED24, the Ukrainian government’s official fundraising app: Apple IOS App: apps.apple.com/app/united24/… Android & IOS IPhone: u24app.gov.ua Inside the app, choose Magyar Birds and donate directly to them. One-off or monthly, every dollar goes straight to the unit. Why Magyar Birds? Their commander, Robert “Magyar” Brovdi, leads Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, which are hitting Russia’s oil refineries, depots and pipelines night after night. Russia is now facing fuel shortages and rationing. While Trump’s team cuts oil deals with Putin, Ukraine is burning his oil to the ground, starving the finances that kill men, women and children. Supporting Ukraine means standing for freedom against tyrants and protecting innocent civilians. So here’s the ask: 👉 Download the app. It takes 60 seconds. 👉 Pick Magyar Birds. 👉 Give what you can. $5, $24, $100. Every dollar counts. 👉 Then repost this so one more American does the same. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Americans, you are not helpless. You can make a difference. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Putin is counting on you to look away. Don’t. 🇺🇦 @U24_gov_ua @414magyarbirds

So basically what everyone feared would happen is happening.
Russian forces have begun taking civilians from occupied Oleshky to Russia, apparently disregarding previously announced agreements governing the operation. The operations are being conducted by the Russian military, without American representatives or teams from either side’s ombudsman office present. Russia’s state news agency TASS is openly filming the operation. There is no indication that civilians are being given a choice of where they wish to go. No buses or other vehicles designated to transport evacuees to Ukrainian-controlled territory are visible. The operation raises serious concerns that Russia is once again exploiting a humanitarian evacuation to forcibly transfer Ukrainian civilians. The parallels with the evacuation of Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant are disturbing. Once again, Moscow appears to be disregarding agreed procedures while controlling the fate of Ukrainian civilians.

23:09 | Air Situation Over Russia Things are really heating up across Russia tonight. According to Russian monitoring sources, up to 300 Ukrainian UAVs are currently airborne. The most interesting situation is unfolding in the Moscow region, where Russian air defenses are reportedly extremely active. Explosions have been reported in areas just 10 km from Moscow itself. Two airports — Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo — have been closed, with flight restrictions in effect. Despite intense Russian air defense activity, reports of UAV sightings continue to come in. Air defense activity has also been reported in the Tver, Kaluga, Tula, and Oryol regions. Numerous UAV sightings continue to be reported across the Bryansk and Oryol regions. The situation is developing rapidly. We're keeping a close eye on it. 🫡 UAV sightings are based on Russian monitoring sources. All information is approximate and has not been independently verified.

Both the Korean War and Vietnam were not wars. They were call conflicts. Yet the military deaths were treated as war deaths. Military families have never been denied benefits until now. Trump stated that anyone that dies in a war are fools and losers. The cruelty of the trump administration is just shocking and vile.

A few weeks ago, the Spectre 33 Special Unit which belongs to Ukraine's HUR MO has published the so far best images of a Naval SOF unit I've seen so far. The soldiers are armed with HK416 assault rifles, of which Germany has officially delivered 4,750 as of April 2025. However, my research — I published a detailed article in August — shows that Germany must have delivered several thousand additional HK416s to Ukraine since the German government stopped disclosing its military assistance.

This is what the new Russian "Geran-5" looks like next to an older version of the "Shahed". During maneuvers, Russian "Geran-5" drones already reach speeds of up to 1,000 km/h. Ukrainians have already recorded such cases. Russia is focusing on speed and the mass production of cheap jet-powered drones and missiles ("Banderol", "Geran-5", "Dan-T", "Dan-M"). Ukraine urgently needs jet interceptors and its own budget cruise missile. Russian UAVs with AI navigation are already being tested: in the future they will be able to find and attack targets fully autonomously.

Breaking: We just won a big case for NC. A new federal rule threatened health insurance for 60,000 of the sickest people in North Carolina - people with cancer, Parkinson’s, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and other serious illnesses. Here's how: When Congress enacted new Medicaid work requirements, it specifically protected the sickest people. Congress didn’t want them losing their insurance while battling a serious illness. But then the agency that runs Medicaid decided to ignore Congress and make it much harder to qualify for that protection. They basically put up a bunch of red tape for our sickest people and told them to figure it out or they’d lose their insurance. So we sued, arguing that Congress created that protection and this agency doesn’t get to overrule Congress. And we just won - the judge ruled for us without even needing a trial. That’s as early a win as we could hope for. This is a big deal for tens of thousands of NC families who could have been financially devastated by sudden, enormous medical bills. When we filed, I told people battling serious illnesses to focus on getting better and let us handle the legal fight. Today, we won that fight. I hope that brings some peace of mind to families who already have more than enough on their plate.
We just filed a lawsuit to protect health insurance for tens of thousands of the most severely ill North Carolinians. People with cancer, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, ALS, hemophilia, and other serious illnesses have legal protection, and we’re going to enforce it.

and every action has an equal and opposite reaction, a large crowd marched from the closed early voting site at UNC-Charlotte 1.2 miles to the new site at the abandoned University City Library where it appears 200 cast ballots
At UNC Charlotte where the on-campus student union early voting site used in 2022 and 2024 was moved 1.1 miles down a road with no sidewalks to an abandoned library, the student newspaper is encouraging students instead to take the light rail from campus 10 stops to the Hal Marshall site right at a rail station ninertimes.com/news/where-un… (other campus groups are doing likewise)

The Trump administration sending the National Guard, prison guards, ATF, and DEA agents to monitor polls is fucking wild. It seems authoritarian because it’s authoritarian.

Basically, it lets them take more political prisoners, move weapons unimpeded and update and refresh troops and logistical stations. Up next, they will have everything they need to make a full run at Kherson because people believe in Trump's family and the Pope. 🤦🏽🤦🏽 I can't fucking even with all y'all sometimes. Shits too stupid to even make up. 🤷🏽 Outta make me the new Ukraine Ambassador to America, I will just say, no, no, no, no. America: But why? Because you're all fucking lying sacks of shit, who rape women and little kids that's why. So no!
I'm sorry, but what the fuck?
