All while AfricaCorps abuses local women and smuggles out gold in massive quantities.
I didn’t realize there were substantial sugar plantations in the US. Even so I imagine imports will be necessary to meet quotas. And corn farmers will lose business.
When you’ve got both Armenia and Azerbaijan turning against you, you know you messed up somewhere…
These lives are a cheap for them to pay for all the gold they’ve been smuggling out. And they’ll get more now that the military junta has fully established itself as a dictatorship
COLUMN: Why is the DOJ botching the Epstein saga? “The possibilities range from bad to worse” — especially for what they suggest about the country’s legal leadership, writes former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori.
Europe has blinders on as usual
Sadly a necessary step. Many things would need to change before relations can normalize
Nothing compares to what Wagner have done to Sudan and the Sahel. Like the girls in CAR…
Which one is coming for Russia first 👀
The kremlins decision making is erratic. Can’t tell if this is high level strategy or if they are unraveling
Don’t think these numbers mean much to the kremlin anymore. Especially since they’re supplementing heavily with foreign mercenaries and NK troops. Unless there’s damage in Moscow/St Petersburg, there won’t be any serious shift in public opinion about the war
One big step could’ve been to intervene in Sudan, where Libya is backing the RSF and smuggling out gold with the help of Wagner, and further increasing their stranglehold over the migrant corridors. But the world is blind to Sudan since US/EU aren’t directly involved.
wtf how old is this kid? Are they recruiting from schools now?
I understand why poor people from India and China sign up for this ( even they get scammed) but why would Americans go willingly
Jeez the American markup is crazy…
Hmm yeah that checks out. Still curious about what these pricing models look like. I gotta wonder how it compares to European manufacturers like Dassault or Saab
Just me or do US weapons systems seem overpriced? Even though they’re top tier.
Some find her controversial but I’ve always enjoyed her work on the Mughal periods. She handles Indian social historiography in an honest but elegant way rather than just blindly cater to the major camps of indology/orientalism vs Marxian. I look forward to reading this new book
This is a very tenuous relationship between these countries. No fondness amongst the citizens. And some big egos at the top. But the fact that they’re here at the table is already groundbreaking. If they can come away with something substantial it will be rly good for the region’s future
This is also “America First” right? The US govt complained about Chinese students as a security risk, is Russian oligarchs (I.e. warlords) buying up property here less risky than that?
Yeah letting Russian oligarchs buy up American land is definitely “America First”…
Libya is unable/unwilling to tackle the issue of the migration corridor between Libya, Sudan, and Egypt. It’s a valuable smuggling route for people and goods, including ill gotten gold from Sudan and greater Sahel - which is what Libya, Wagner, KSA all covet, and their reason for backing RSF terror
It’s already happened. Earlier this yr there were cases of ppl who pretended to be ice officers and proceeded to assault women. I recall one case in North Carolina and another in Brooklyn. And that was before this all really even kicked off. I imagine it only gets worse
This surprises no one. The question is, will anything be done about it?
Musk is just a newcomer. The kremlin has been waging a disinfo war on Europe for more than a decade. And only now has Europe even started talking about the issue, despite already having good cyber regulations like GDPR. By the time EU is rdy for action they’ll be issuing the orders in Russian
Does Europe not understand that it is at war? All of it, not Ukraine? Bc Russia does. Russians believe they’re at war with all Europe not Ukraine, and for Putin this is a campaign against all Europe. Only Europe seems not to realize.
Fixing the veto system in the EU would be a start. One Putin puppet in orban can somehow derail every European decision. And NATO needs to change, or maybe even be scrapped. Europe can’t trust the US anymore
I’d say the pimps are a more appropriate parallel. The ones who take all the profit but none of the risk or liability
Sounds like they’re cannibalizing. The space at the top is getting smaller and smaller. Inevitable when the mafia needs funds but the only ones with any money are the dons themselves.
“You have been dismissed… from life”
This is disgusting predatory behaviour. This is why law enforcement must have limits. You cannot give them a free hand and expect them to perfectly honour all norms. ICE especially are not trained like military or police with discipline.
I’m shocked senator Makarov is still around after that speech he gave at SPIEF
Another Russian businessman has died from falling out a window. The Wikipedia page tracking all the mysterious deaths of Russian business leaders since 2022 is crazy to read.
Had a Democrat administration done this the other side would be furious
What time is it?! It’s Daily Fella time. Is it time for Ukraine to strike the russian refineries again? Plus a nice big kaboom & who is running the US government?! #DailyFella #DailyFellaNews #SlavaUkraini #NAFO
Today's quick update [Jul 2]: - Clashes between SAF and RSF continue in Elfashir, North Darfur. - SAF airstrikes reported in Bara and Um Sayala, North Kordofan, targeting RSF positions in the area. #KeepEyesOnSudan

“Part of being an adult is doing paperwork” 80% of your party voted for the bill without reading it. Some of them even admitted that!
They’ll never hold it without more bodies for the meat grinder. Once the privileged Muscovites get their turn in there, sentiment will change
I can’t even being to unpack this ridiculous mentality. Economics in America is just magically writing down numbers apparently - though I should’ve learned that after 2008
This is overall good, though there will be some pain in the short term. There are other ways to unlock the tourism potential of the region that are more sustainable and friendly to the locals
Ukraine captureв Russian soldier who had tortured and executed Ukrainian prisoners of war.. Now he faces life in prison — Ukraine's Security Service. Sergiy Tuzhilov shot a bound Ukrainian soldier in the back of the head and helped kill two others during fighting in Kharkiv Oblast in June 2024. ⤵️

“Worst of the worst” are working 10+ hrs a day and keeping the economy afloat? Even though there are well known gang neighborhoods in LA, NYC, Miami, etc. that seem to have been miraculously untouched? Does it have anything to do with the meeting with cartel bosses perhaps?
Please support Philip if you can. He is undertaking work that has been largely ignored by big media and NGOs.
Apathy is the enemy. No matter what happens in D.C. focus on local elections. Sheriffs, commissioners, judges, school boards, tax collectors - they all matter. Every election is the most important election.
As in my comment: in an increasingly reactionary and sensationalised world, allegiance does seem to be the only valid currency for the market of political discourse
Unfortunately in an increasingly reactionary world, allegiance to a camp seems the only valid currency for the market of political discourse
An excellent point!
Sorta but not completely. Lukashenko was already around before Putin took power. Hes wily & understands survival. He may well outlast his Russian buddy. He’s actually been getting closer to China recently - skipping the middleman as it were. And then the meeting with Kellogg. Like I said, a wily one
Some are saying this is a sign of Zhang Youxia taking control. Others say it’s Xi’s paranoia. Either way, there’s instability in the political structures. Personally I’m hoping the reformists take control and bring back some stability and people-friendly policy
The Ruzzian disinfo army has also been very active for almost 20 yrs now astroturfing to prepare for these moments when they could launch attacks.
And yet Europe still doesn’t have the guts to do the same?
He’s not wrong but that’s an unbelievably foolish reason to block sanctions against Russia. Unless he’s just a supporter of Putin

Maybe Slovakia can join the Russian federation and give their EU spot to Ukraine? Everyone will be happy
Most likely propaganda. As sun tzu said “appear weak when you are strong, appear strong when you are weak”
#keepeyesonsudan
There is no control in Sudan. RSF continues with impunity, backed by foreign powers like Russia and Turkey. If the international community laid the same attention to this as we did to Gaza, this could be over in weeks
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 the sanctions must be pushed through
Rest in power brother
Despite a ban in #Budapest and pressure from the government of Prime Minister Viktor #Orbán, a mass Pride event took place. According to organizers, the march was the largest in the country’s history, with an estimated 200,000 people taking part.
BREAKING: Major unrest on the streets of #Belgrade tonight as hundreds of thousands of #Serbians take to streets to protest against the president of Serbia and demand his resignation
The fight to save democracy never stops Last night Senate Republicans released their version of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill It INCREASED Medicaid cuts to OVER $930 BILLION And they plan to start voting on it THIS WEEKEND I know it’s Caturday But please-call the Capitol switchboard-ASAP 202-224-3121
Eyes on Togo. #TogoLibre Togo protests against long-time dictator Gnassingbe.
Today's quick update [Jun 27]: - RSF shelling continues in Elfashir; 13 civilians reported killed and 21 others injured, per Sudan Doctors Network. - The UN has called for a one-week humanitarian truce in Elfashir, to which Burhan has reportedly agreed. #KeepEyesOnSudan
Whatever else, at least he’s got some guts
SAF will accept but what about RSF?
The carbon credit scheme is gonna end up backfiring in the long run. It’s a nice sounding idea. But tbh it will likely cost more in the long term than just taking the heavy investments now to reduce emissions. Also it doesn’t account for destruction from “green energy” like lithium mining
FSB is almost certainly involved somewhere. Either directly, or just leaking intel of “Israeli weapons”.
Likely a legit activist group, but being manipulated bts by FSB
Opposition in Russia is purely political and for power. They’re all (roughly) the same level of evil and corrupt. Though, the hilarity of prighozhin actually successfully capturing Moscow and completing the coup would’ve been glorious to see
Yet the cartel families get invited to the dinner table for negotiations…
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “The idea that only Dems use nationwide injunctions is blatantly false. we don’t have student debt forgiveness because Republicans got a nationwide injunction.” SCOTUS undercutting them = far more immunity & power for Trump.
How on earth could you call this an unforced error by Carney? Trump 180s on things everyday and you’re putting the onus of a trade agreement on anyone else?
You wouldn’t need to charge much tbh. The act of doing it is therapeutic enough it’s probably solve a lot of health problems
And lemme guess the shirts are made in China?
Ruzzian disinfo has tried desperately to disparage this man. Respect to him for standing tall and working for his country
bc there’s been few civilian casualties, most Russian public support the war. So that results in more soldier deaths. Now they’re feeling some economic pain, so there’s grumbling. But the kremlin won’t stop until they feel pressure which won’t come until public feels more pain. Cruel paradox of war.
They need to be careful about going too low. Workers movement is growing in China to get more pay. And these EVs already aren’t highly profitable per car. Even with huge market share it’s just a tough industry.
The horror never stops but NO ONE IS REPORTING IT 🤬 Thanks for your updates 🙏
The amount of deaths caused by ICE and its activities will soon far outweigh the crimes committed by illegal immigrants
The Trump regime killed a Canadian in custody in Miami, Florida. His name was Johnny Noviello. ICE claims they "found him unresponsive" . He was a legal permanent resident since 1991. Canada said it was “aware of the death” and is investigating. #StopICE
Omg. I honestly felt a reaction much like how I feel looking at one of trumps tweets. This could be accidental genius strategy if they normalize this
Romanias new president is nicusor Dan, no?
Very good, more competition is (generally) a good thing. Though we’ll have to research how that further affects our relationship with information
I agree, though there’s reports saying the facility wasn’t fully destroyed? Also, with the enriched uranium still present, they could in theory transport it to an allied facility and continue? All in all, the execution seems sloppy. And ofc the whole situation could probably have been avoided
Singapore has an interesting healthcare model that balances state/pvt sector, but results in really accessible and quality healthcare. It was a looong buildup though, decades of planned (and some reactive) incremental changes.
It’s extra funny bc some states already have state owned liquor stores 🤭
Yeah, the silly restrictions and the dallying on sanctions cost many unnecessary lives. Even now EU and NATO are dragging their feet. The kremlin only understands and respects force. Hoping for a change of heart is foolish, since they don’t gaf about their soldiers lives
25 dead but no news as usual. Thank you for being relentless in pursuing this
- RSF drone strike on Dilling, South Kordofan; at least 4 civilians reported killed. - RSF attack on village of Alsunut, North Kordofan; mass looting reported, displacement of residents. - RSF claims control of Riheid Alnuba area of North Kordofan yesterday. #KeepEyesOnSudan
Idk him being quiet is concerning. It means he’s content to a degree. And what makes Elon content makes me cautious…
These metrics show progress but they are still reactive. They only happened after Russian aggression. NATO needs to learn how to be proactive and prevent conflict through coordinated effort. Especially in the age of 5GW where Russian disinfo has been their biggest weapon
Rutte fundamentally misunderstands Putin. Ppl like him and trump are happiest when there’s chaos. Bc it destroys systems and allows strongmen to take hold of society in the name of “order”. More countries in NATO and greater spending will def deter Russia, but could also strain the alliance 🧵
