@Snowden It's interesting that you blocked me for criticising Russia🤡

Dear Ms. Navratilova, Please don’t retweet RT (Russia Today). It’s one of the worst outlets for Russian state propaganda and doesn’t deserve to be treated as a reliable news source. It isn’t. Even unintentionally, sharing it helps amplify and legitimize it. Given your platform and the trust people place in you, it really matters.

@JohnCleese Putin made the Trump administration act in his favor, against the wishes of over 70% of Americans who support Ukraine...

It's the thing Putin's most proud of too To get the Trump administration to act against America's best interests took a lot of 'persuasion'

@AdamKinzinger Elon Musk is censoring anything to the left of far right...

Russia Tells U.N.: “We condemn the aggression of the U.S. and Israel in violation of the U.N. Charter. We are committed to the territorial integrity of all.” Forgot To Mention: Russia illegally invaded Ukraine and has been bombing its people for 1,513 days.

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. The Qatar jet. January 6th. The money. The names. All of it. (link in reply)

@redtruthshorts @AdamKinzinger Trump was in charge, remember.

@AdamKinzinger You mean when the Capitol Police Ushered Americans into the Capitol? This January 6th

Oh

This you

@esjesjesj Hello, Evan

@KatieMiller @RepShriThanedar Is that the face you think of when you blow your husband?

@RepShriThanedar Prove my point for me.

Meanwhile, this is your husband.

Do you remember Masha, a Russian girl who, at the start of the war, drew a picture of rockets flying toward Ukraine with the words “No to war”? She was only 12 at the time. The Russian authorities sent her to a shelter and threw her father in prison. Later, they handed her over to her mother, who had left her at the age of 3 after promising to “re-educate” (brainwash) the girl. Luckily, her father served his sentence, got her back, and now they have left Russia, probably forever. They are in Paris now. There is no place for normal people in today’s Russia.

@koshercockney Having a 🇷🇺 in your bio.

Having a 🇵🇸 in your bio and/or username

She continuously blamed Ukraine for Russia’s genocidal invasion, spent years spreading daily Russian propaganda, dealt w Hungarian operatives to push Russia’s policies, and worked alongside Heritage Foundation to use her position in Congress to do everything to stop weapons packages to Ukraine. I’m all for independents but this ain’t it

@mistergeezy The RNC is using Hasan's statements to smear the Democratic Party, even though he's not a Democrat. x.com/RNCResearch/st…

Why are you not protesting Donald Trump and the Republicans?

@BrianCox_RLTW @CENTCOM @En_chinaNews Under the rules of war, the U.S. naval blockade targeting ships loading at belligerent ports is lawful per the San Remo Manual & the DOD Law of War Manual. In contrast, Iran's attacks on neutral shipping in the Strait of Hormuz & its mining of international waterways are illegal.

🚨Don't be fooled by 🇨🇳 #PRC + 🇮🇷 #IRGC propaganda. Here are the facts AND law you need to know about 🇺🇸 #USA blockade announced @CENTCOM this weekend: 1. It is NOT a "U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz" as @En_chinaNews claims. That is an outright lie. As CENTCOM declared in the Apr 12 press release, the blockade restricts "all maritime traffic entering and exiting" IRANIAN PORTS (pic 1). There are shipping lanes and ports along & adjacent to the Strait that are outside of Iranian territorial waters (pic 2). When these lanes & ports have been cleared of IRANIAN mines, seafaring traffic in the Strait will presumably be allowed to resume. 2. @DeptofWar has thus far complied with all relevant international law obligations related to announcing & initiating a blockade. As the San Remo Manual indicates (in text that is consistent with DoW doctrine), the blockade must be announced to all relevant belligerent & neutral parties, and the blockade must not bar access to ports & coasts of neutral states (pic 3). For factual circumstances regarding whether these obligations have been met, refer back to point 1 above & pics 1+2 below. 3. As both the San Remo Manual (again, pic 3) and DoD Law of War Manual indicate (pic 4), the blockading State may (indeed must) take measures to CONTROL traffic in the blockaded area. This means visit & search measures are permitted EVEN ON THE HIGH SEAS (e.g. not directly IN the Strait, but also on the Gulf of Oman) if necessary to enforce the blockade (pic 4). 4. Previous #IRGC maritime operations restricting traffic in the Strait of Hormuz were NOT a "blockade" pursuant to int'l law. Although the San Remo Manual assumes readers understand the definition of blockade, the DoD LoW Manual explicitly incorporates a definition. As the LoW Manual notes, a blockade is an "operation by a belligerent State to prevent vessels and/or aircraft of all States, enemy as well as neutral, from entering or exiting specified ports, airfields, or coastal areas belonging to, occupied by, or under the control" OF AN ENEMY BELLIGERENT STATE (also pic 4). Iran's operations involved the opposite of a blockade, e.g. restricting traffic to non-Iranian ports & through non-Iranian territorial waters by ships even of NEUTRAL states. Furthermore, IRGC maintained these restrictions by declaring the intent to attack ALL vessels, even of neutral states, which amounts to threats to commit ACTUAL war crimes. 5. Finally, this means the U.S. blockade not ONLY complies with relevant provisions of #LOAC in the maritime domain, it is also aimed at ending unlawful maritime navigational restrictions imposed by IRAN. So, don't fall for the usual lawfare, lies & propaganda peddled by PRC & IRGC then repeated ad nauseum by Iran's useful idiots throughout the West. Know the facts. Understand the law. And recognize that 🇺🇸 blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is completely CONSISTENT with relevant "principles of international law", while it is the unlawful & reckless restrictions imposed by 🇮🇷 that are ACTUALLY putting "the global market at risk." #TheMoreYouKnow #legaldisinformation

@ItsTheEnforcer The Rich Starry loaded ~250,000 barrels of methanol at Hamriyah / Al Hamriyah anchorage in the UAE on April 13, therefore it is clear to pass the blockade which is only for ships loaded at Iranian ports...

@ItsTheEnforcer If the Chinese tanker is carrying UAE crude it wont be stopped as the blockade is for Iranian crude.

Unless it's the president.

@KevinRobertsTX Orbans replacement is a right wing conservative who will end Hungary being a vasal state of russia. Unlike the usA, which is still a vasal state of Russia..

TRANSLATION: 7-term Republican Senator celebrates Hungary becoming a vassal state of the EU. A lot of swamp left to be drained in Washington. foxnews.com/opinion/sen-mi…

@itsahoax000 Yes possible that Trump's meme was meant to distract from the Iran war, just like the Iran war was meant to distract from the Epstein files lol.

@AndrewGates29 Perhaps it was done on purpose to distract from the War with Iran?

Hey! Good morning everyone. Any MAGA Christians out there today admitting they were conned by the devil?
