@Lazarou Right, but we'll be dead (after today's history is recorded) too. History isn't alive. History doesn't look kindly or unkindly, it just is. History is stuff that already happened, so how people are remembered just doesn't seem to matter to the bad guys, IMHO. They chose to do what they did, they won't know how they're remembered.

#Biden Allows #Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles

With two months left in office, the president for the first time authorized the Ukrainian military to use the system known as ATACMS to help defend its forces in the Kursk region of #Russia.

🤞🏼 #Biden: I will leave my successor and my country with a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. It's true, some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's under way in America, but nobody, nobody can reverse it. Nobody. #ClimateCrisis

If Will Bunch wrote it, you should read it.

“They want to shock you. The sex fiend! The dog killer! The Russian asset! The names matter, but as much as what Trump is going for - dominance, not only over Congress but over objective reality

Stop fighting a president when we have a king.” 🎁 https://share.inquirer.com/1cend5

And the next administration shrugs.

“Scientists warn that a key Atlantic current could collapse, among other climate tipping points

A new report describes the dire state of Earth’s snow and ice, suggesting several major tipping points are likelier than scientists once thought.” #ClimateCrisis

Here's my guess of why #Trump picked #Gaetz, beyond wanting a lawless predator like himself as AG. Gaetz is as obsessed with seeking revenge against the #Russia investigation as Trump is.

See how #Trump is protecting us?🤦🏻♀️

👉🏼Major changes to X terms of service are about to kick in | Mashable https://mashable.com/article/twitter-x-terms-service

Of the two, and I prefer Mastodon by far, but between Threads and BlueSky, Bsky is better and trying to accommodate accounts more. Also easier to navigate and doesn’t randomly suspend you for posting certain political words/posts. Owners suck on both of course.

@stirlock There's some AI thing going on where users would be abused legally somehow

Folks, I've been hanging on to my hellsite account for one reason: Journalists and legal analysts who give me info I can get nowhere else.

The threads I post here, the long ones from multiple legal accounts: All from the hellsite.

Accts like Elie Mystal's who we adore: From the hellsite.

Breaking news: Hellsite

But it looks like I'll have to delete my account very soon after seeing what Musk is up to over there, so sadly, we'll be w/o some important info.

Very sorry.

I'll keep you posted.

Trumpy says what?
