Top thing modern lefty protesters forgot is the action has to be clearly *narratively linked* to what you’re protesting. Refuse to give up a seat on a segregated bus. Burn a draft card. Etc. Everyone understood what it was about. But now it’s the same protest for everything.

Estos son todos los nombres y contactos de los pasajeros en el Vagón 8 del AVE que he podido encontrar. Compartid y si sabéis de algún otro pasajero, dejadlo aquí abajo. Trataré de hacer lo propio vagón por vagón. Os lo ruego: No molestéis a las familias con entrevistas.

At least Brazil actually prosecuted a president who attempted a coup, unlike the USA. This second term of MAGA governance has turned the USA into a semblance of a corrupt, kleptocratic third world autocracy, along the lines of Mugabe's Zimbabwe or Karimov's Uzbekistan.

The Save America Act is designed to prevent America from becoming Brazil, Venezuela or Cuba. That’s why communists, democrats and RINOs don’t support it.

I can't find words. Dnipro 💔 A railway platform is covered in people's bodies after a Russian strike. Russia started this war. Russia continues killing Ukrainian civilians every single day. Russia won't stop until it is stopped.

Dnipro. Oh my God. At least 13 killed in Dnipro - a Russian drone hit a train close to the central railway station. Many more injured. Looks like it was a deliberate Russian strike, not an accident.

Really grim. In this photo one can see that the AVE train car went directly through a car of the stationary IRYO train. On right side the AVE car is enveloped by the husk red/gray IRYO car. Que las víctimas descansen en paz.🙏 #choquedeTrenes

Ayer noche pudieron separar las estructuras de los 2 vagones que quedaron encajados. La imagen lo dice todo. Se ve como todo el primer vagón del AVE quedó dentro del último del Iryo. Que fatalidad.

Captured this incredible moment a while back in Gillard’s Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador! Still one of the most spectacular iceberg moments I’ve ever witnessed. Watching something this massive suddenly break apart right in front of you is a sight you never forget.

It's true: Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia has been ousted from his Joint Staff role, say officials familiar w/ the issue. Several voiced exasperation, citing his work as a well regarded 101st Airborne Division commander. He's also a recipient of the Bronze Star with V and Purple Heart.
