By Russia human safari in Kherson.
Russian drones hunt public buses, women, kids, dogs. Russian media blames it on Ukrainians.
Watch my report to see how it’s done ⬇️

🔴Human safari in Kherson. A report from the ground on Russian war crimes and disinformation: A Russian FPV drone attacked a public bus, killing 1, injuring 10. A Russian Telegram channel blamed a Ukrainian explosive device. I found Russian drone parts and eyewitnesses.

Ukraine is fighting for the normal and safe life it deserves, for a just and reliable peace. We want this war to end. But Russia does not, and continues its aerial terror: over the past week, more than 1,050 attack drones, nearly 1,300 aerial bombs, and more than 20 missiles have been launched at Ukraine to destroy cities and kill people.
Those who seek negotiations do not deliberately strike civilians with ballistic missiles. To force Russia to stop its attacks, we need greater collective strength from the world.
Strengthening our air defense, supporting our army, and ensuring effective security guarantees that will make the return of Russian aggression impossible—this is what we must focus on. Justice must prevail. We believe in the power of unity, and we will certainly restore lasting peace.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla There was a car, this one: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Propul…. The Tesla Roadster was largely built on this technology, in a Lotus Elise chassis. Clearly Musk is responsible for making Tesla into what it is today, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t build it from absolute scratch.
English
Elon Musk in new Joe Rogan interview on who founded @Tesla: “Tesla did not exist in any meaningful form. There were no employees. JB Straubel and I joined three other people. There was no car, no nothing.”
Joe: So there wasn’t even a prototype yet?
Elon: No
Joe: That’s a funny narrative that people like to say that you didn’t even create Tesla then.
Elon: Yeah, that’s wrong.

@ZoeJardiniere Possible that these apparently contradictory approaches go well together. If Starmer meeting had not happened that way yesterday, the outlook would be far bleaker today.
English
If you watch Zelensky standing his ground in the Oval Office against soft-brained bullies Trump & Vance
& still think Starmer's excruciating attempt at grovelling for respect from Trump yesterday was genius, I just don't know what to say to you.

I've been thinking for a long time whether I should publish this for you. Now it is hard for me to describe this post in words. I will just leave it here to share with you the pain of my country. The war that Russia started.

Evidently, the leader of the free world now is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Yes or No
Do you support brave President Mr Zelensky and Ukraine? 🇺🇦

Anders Breivik, Norwegian terrorist and mass murderer, showed up in court today with the letter Z shaved on his head and a poster with a message of support for Russia.
Just a reminder about what kind of people tend to support Russia.

Lots of progressives are announcing their departure from this platform with the implication that the political Right has a monopoly on the spreading of disinformation. But progressives are at it too. Here’s a pretty brazen example from @ByDonkeys. They even got community noted.

@NaomiLWood @DaveThroup Read the article he linked, it addresses your point and explains why it is a red herring and therefore does not need mentioning.
English
You could say that about your portrayal of it, because you didn’t mention that 230 dams had been removed within the last 3 years, whereas because of heavy floods in about 1957 they’d decided to build dams to slow the flow. I’m not sure whether they did diversity reports before and after the dams were built.
English
Unsurprisingly, huge demonstration today in Valencia about the official response to the awful floods.
Will our response be any better when similarly severe flooding happens in the UK?
And happen it will.
English
This is worth doing. Best case it’s a waste of time, worst case it’s not.

If you work at a government agency, CDC, FDA, CIA, FBI, NASA, NTSB, NOAA, anywhere, you need to start saving every gig of data you can find. Studies, organizational charts, employee manuals, policies and procedures. Anything that can be used to recreate your agency from scratch.

Can someone explain to me why a Trump presidency will be better for Palestinians than a Harris one?

Inevitably there’s considerable interest in what impacts a Valencia type of rainfall event would have on the UK.

Good; but then why is the Govt doing so little to actually address climate impacts?
The Govt has a mission on decarbonising electricity; but has no mission for protecting us against these impacts.
>There needs to be a 6th mission: Of protective climate adaptation.<
RT to agree.

Ed Miliband painted a bleak picture of climate change impacts at this morning's cabinet. "Climate change is a threat to national security & growth, given [it] could force more than 200m people globally to migrate, the global economy could be 19% smaller in 2049 than it would be otherwise & it could put an additional 600,000 people in UK at risk of flooding." Very clear dividing line with Tories given Kemi Badenoch has suggested she wants to delay/ scrap UK's net zero targets.

@James_BG So much strongman nonsense floating around, it’s as if people never learn.

If Trump wins we’ll have to hope the likes of Montgomerie, Johnson, and Truss are right and the chaos he brings perversely results in geopolitical stability. This is not particularly reassuring given these characters have spent the last decade being wrong about almost everything.
