Come Back Alive's Project 61 has unlocked on-the-go servicing, re-arming, and mission planning for the F-16 with minimal staff.

Nobody's pulled this off before.

CBA is indispensable to Ukraine. They deliver equipment, training, and logistics to back it all up.

We delivered 3 Antenna amplifier boosters and 5 inverter generators to our heroes in the 80th Air Assault Brigade. The total cost of the delivered equipment is $6,258.

Thank you so much for your support!

So is there a make-out sesh for Putin saying something about a Nobel, or are they fighting out front while something's going out the back? 🐸💥🐍

How loose cannon is this?!

Imagine who'd face that simple of a test and flunk it! Nothing of value was lost.

There's no better way to kill the soul of America than reanimate the shambling zombie corpse of the Confederacy.

I'm sorry to say, the evil we're seeing has a point far beyond any midterm. Who, I ask, are the international interests who'd want the neo-confederate right to turn America into this?

Daniel Asher in solidarity @abstractedaway.bsky.social · 1d

The endgame's not to have people freak out over empty grocery shelves because farms don't have workers. Americans are fine with hard work. It's hard work without trajectory, without hopes and dreams they don't want.

Neo-confederates have all the ideas about who'll do that work.

"If that's not slavery, I don't know what is."

The talking points about "illegal" labor and "Americans don't want to work" are obscuring a serious move towards institutionalized human trafficking and slavery.

That's why they're taking black history out of schoolbooks and museums.

💯 Must watch, USA! Please share!

The farm raids and ICE kidnappings are the tip of the iceberg. They are not just random terror. And you shouldn't feel sorry for pro-Trump farmers.

They are rebuilding an official slave state.

Those confederate flags were at J6 for a reason.

ICE Raids Are Only Half The Story

Please join me in a new campaign to help protect Ukrainians in a very special way. My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. They are making an important point. One way to find our own courage is to act in support those who are showing it

They wear masks and show no badge because they know darn well that they would live with shame and stigma for the rest of their days, and deserve it.

If given the Water of Life, I could make damn sure the Spice flows, and that Shai-Hulud's passage would cleanse the world.

List of fictional universes I'd rather live in keeps growing!

Trump's senility is making him even more unpredictable. I hope someone moves on this, because the window of time to get this done might be fleeting.

I am deeply fascinated with Ukrainian poetry, and the lessons it teaches us. I hope that through my translation, it will speak to your heart, too!

It's truly one of the greatest poems anywhere, and the author's bio is an inspiration.

What’s happening right now should terrify every American. We’re sliding toward empty shelves, broken systems, and a government run by chaos. This week on @meidastouch.com, I break down how close we really are and what we can do to stop it.

Це було ризиковано й сміливо з мого боку, та ви варті кожного ризику, який я можу взяти, навіть якщо за це мене трохи сварять. Ваші слова й життя рухають світ. Ви нагадали мені, що добрі, чесні й відважні люди ще існують.

Слава Україні! Слава Сім’ї Вільних.

Мої дорогі українські друзі, роки тому перше, що я написав вашою мовою, було 22 лютого, щоб порадити тим із вас, хто говорив про почуття винуватості виживших і думав про своїх рідних на фронті — запитати себе, що б вони відчували за своїх близьких у безпеці, щоб дати зрозуміти, що їхні серця чисті.

This makes watching some of the EU countries pull punches all the more frustrating. This is a fight that can be won, and russia can be defeated and deterred - with a bit of guts.

The fight is neither hopeless nor has a countdown to victory started. Just, willpower would work wonders.

Ukrainian drone unit Khorne Group warned of delayed-action grenades found after a Russian Geran-2 drone attack. They can detonate if tilted over 15°.

Russia continues its efforts to maximize civilian casualties.

But guess how I feel, rooting for and living on the inspiration of people seriously fight for their lives and values as they must, and then watching us letting corrupt villains and oligarchs shred our basic functions and there's marches once a month.

Our microcosms are so, because of the macro.

Daniel Asher in solidarity @abstractedaway.bsky.social · 2d

This is easy mode compared to some struggles I'm following. What's wrong in America, we're letting villains openly do while we watch gossip about it.

I oscillate between Ukrainian and US news because I need to see what serious, competent people do versus problems I feel I slightly own.

I now weigh in my mind my supply of antibiotics versus office droids reading hallucinated AI summaries of my resume to me over the phone.

What feels most sobering is how *not* singled out I feel in this. These are overlapping, systemic issues. And I could tell the doctors and staff got screwed too.
