🇺🇸 US senators are seeking to increase pressure on Russia through sanctions against its "shadow fleet," - FT A group of senators will introduce the Shadow Fleets Act, which would expand sanctions against Russia's "shadow fleet" of oil tankers used to circumvent Western restrictions starting in 2022.

oh yea, Charlie Kirk, did you hear about the Ballroom Trump's building?
Another fumble by Travis.
The fascist right knows damn well they can say anything they want to fit their narrative and the media will just allow it, and at times, repeat it. A permission structure by the media, greenlighting their behavior.
Shame on NFL owners for participating in Saudi Arabia’s Bonesaw Bowl.
16 September 1933 | Dutch Jewish girl, Silvia Juliette Basch, was born in Amsterdam. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in September 1943. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection. https://t.co/xnCHqF5us3
This is a better explanation and coverage on the dark side of gaming and online culture than most mainstream media orgs have. Because for years, mainstream media ignored / disbanded their gaming culture coverage.
Pats won yesterday despite missing 12 tackles. That's their highest miss-tackle rate since week 4 in 2021 (per Next Gen Stats).

If we transported 2025 Charlie Kirk back to 2012 he would have been widely considered the most vile and contemptible human being in politics, worse even than Limbaugh. That he wasn't in 2025 is a testament to how much of a permission structure for gutter racism the right has built.
From an Atlantic editor. I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

Chud Jacobin: *blocks me for not being left-wing enough in 2020, publishes a lame-ass take on Charlie Kirk* Chad The Nation: WOULD YOU WRITE THIS ABOUT JOSEPH GOEBBELS
He also said Biden and Zelensky started the war and didn't even mention Pu, so I say we shouldn't take this ridiculous face-saving rant seriously.
14 September 1906 | A Czech Jewish woman, Vilma Feiglová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 15 May 1944. She did not survive.
I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
Virginia Giuffre should've turned 42 this year. Instead, her life was stolen by predators who preyed on her as a child & teen. She was brave, resilient, and gave other survivors hope. We honor her spirit, her fight, & demand justice for every victim of trafficking. social.demcast.com/s/K1CYCLKk

Who's this 'charlie kirk' everyone is talking about?
🇺🇸 Charlie Kirk's killer is allegedly 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah, - New York Post ❗️Reuters: Charlie Kirk's killer confessed to his father that he was the shooter. His father told authorities and said he had secured his son until he could be formally detained.
NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.
Fact
Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.
Hmm. "One entry detailed a $71,000 purchase at Lexus of Watertown in Massachusetts for then-Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz, who was part of the legal team involved in Epstein’s plea negotiations at the time." Dersh says it was for his wife and part of his legal fees.

Y'know what? I'm gonna make this brief vent post and extend it to the swatter who just ruined everybody's night at UMass Boston. A couple of my muso friends also have connections with University of Massachusetts at Boston. To that swatter, whomever you are:
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
Totally normal country
It does not reflect well on a news organization to fire a commentator for offering their opinion, especially when it was accurate and needed to be said. Especially a contributor of dependable insights like Dowd.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s statement on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Our PM is truly a decent man. ❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️
Charlie Kirk emboldened hate by cloaking his beliefs as "Christian". Jesus embraced the marginalized. He was the opposite of Kirk. No Charlie should not have been murdered for his rhetoric. But he did embrace hate. And I won't martyr him.
10 September 1925 | A Polish Jew, Hersz Nejman, was born in Raciąż. He emigrated to Belgium. On 26 August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz from Mechelen / Malines. He did not survive.

Russia murdered 21 people lined to receive pension❗️ 21 people were killed and more than two dozen injured in a barbaric direct russian strike with an air bomb on ordinary people lined up to receive pensions in the village of Yarova in the Donetsk region. Monsters! Bastards!
Jasmine Crockett: “The president doesn’t want you to focus on things such as his involvement with the Epstein Files. He doesn’t want you to focus on the things that truly matter to the American people that are trying to survive. Instead, he wants to divide and distract.”

Don't be fooled, they all love the fact that everyone is booing him.. They will end up twisting the facts and change the narrative to their advantage. They basically don't care, they know they have the ultimate power and there is basically nothing that can be done.

Epstein client list reunion.
On September 6, 2025, ICE was seen kidnapping protestors in unmarked vans in Chicago.
Never forget that they chose a white man, who befriended pedophiles, over a black woman who prosecuted them.
You're talking about 12 million people? Unlikely.
White Christian Taliban shit right here. Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. It’s a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. They’re not just going to hand back power.)

unfortunately, this will produce nothing, diddly squat. American don't fully grasp what we are into. We've never experienced this before in our history. The longer this administration goes on, the harder it will be to get rid of it. Sacrifices will have to be made.
The current occupant of the Oval Office is threatening to wage war against an American city because he doesn’t want us talking about the economy he’s crashing or the Epstein files he’s in.

Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.

Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.

Andy is a terrific reporter who has covered all sides of this story. Don’t get mad at him because he’s following all the leads even when they include the Clintons.

Tom Nichols understands.

Day 213 of the internment. All are abused, in danger and sickened with 'Trump' disease. Not the rich. Not the republicans. 8647. Prosecute EVERYONE on the Epstein list. Who is the National Guard guarding? Being surrounded by Trump supporters makes me wish there were more armed criminals.

"YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE SICK, PSYCHOLOGICAL DYNAMIC OF WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS UP TO WITH THESE PROSECUTIONS"

That’s very Russia/China like. Unitary State Communist State Socialist State
Here the WSJ states plainly Trump’s retribution presidency is “worse than we imagined.” No one had to imagine anything. He said he would do this. All you had to do was listen.

"A peace agreement with Putin is a contradiction in terms." — Mark Hertling for @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-alwa...
Trump doesn't care about peace, he definitely doesn't care about democracy, doesn't care about America, the Constitution, the rule of law or the citizens that he took an oath to protect.
Another White House narrative, spoiled. 🤡 @nikkei.com asia.nikkei.com/business/aut...
As of late last month, the investigation—led by US senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat of Georgia—had unearthed 41 cases of physical and sexual abuse; 14 involving pregnant detainees and 18 involving children.
