🔥Kill Russian oil. Every last drop.
For the very first time ever an Ukrainian drone attacked a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean Sea.
What makes it also interesting is that no USV was used but a grenade dropping drone.
The message is clear: no Russian tanker, no matter where, is safe.

For a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word.

When those who hate trans people win - or pretend to win, cf Sandie Peggie - it's all over the media, even if it's just a tribunal decision. But when they lose, even in the Court of Appeal, it's absolute bloody tumbleweed. So here's our blog about Allison Bailey latest loss. goodlaw.social/3uyd

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."
But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.
