I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

🚨 Pete Buttigieg nails it: “In a country that amended the Constitution to ban beer… then fixed it when we realized it was dumb… surely we can amend it again to say corporations aren’t people and money isn’t speech.” Translation: We corrected Prohibition. We can correct Citizens United. Democracy shouldn’t be for sale.

If you enjoyed Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl, then I beg your attention. Right now, Donald Trump is laying siege to the island of Cuba: asphyxiating its people, shuddering its hospitals, starving them of food. If you care about 'America', this is your fight.

They’ve deported a US citizen. She’s not just detained, she was deported in spite of a court order stating she wasn’t to be removed. The family of Dulce Diaz Morales are stating they can’t locate her. This is terrifying. They were never going to stop with immigrants.

@Southcom @SecWar You're publicly confessing to a war crimes.

On Dec. 4, at the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel in international waters operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization. Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed. #OpSouthernSpear

@VoteHub Can you share more specifics please? Is this a shift from the 2024 PSC election to the 2025 PSC election?

We've just added shift from 2024 to our Georgia Public Service Commission maps. Seat 2: 🔴R +2 → 🔵D +25 Seat 3: 🔴R +2 → 🔵D +26 Nearly 30 point shift ⬅️

What is the purpose of posting this?

Amusing from a Russian exile: "When I protested against Putin in Russia 15 years ago, the government said I was paid by Soros. Now I live in the US and when I protested against Trump the government said I was paid by Soros. I’m not sure if this is a problem for me or for Soros!"

We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong. We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida. We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution!  Everyone gets a trial because sometimes, the system gets it wrong. Even the worst of the worst in our country get due process. The bottom line is that execution without process is not justice, and blowing up foreign ships is a recipe for chaos.

This is what kleptocracy looks like.   In 2025, Donald Trump has received: $3 billion: mostly from crypto $940 million: law firms $400 million plane: Qatar $36 million: CBS $25 million: Meta $24 million: YouTube $16 million: ABC $10 million: X Now $230 million from DOJ?

@WhiteHouse trump sends $40 billion to Argentina.. now.. wants taxpayer to pay him $230 million for investigations.. none of which found him not guilty

.@EmilSutovsky why would oyu block @akaNemsko That's not a good look as the CEO of an organization. What you said was irresponsible and insensitive. It's understandable that people would be upset.

@EmilSutovsky This is one of the most bizarre and unprofessional responses to someone's death that I think I've ever seen, from someone in a leadership position in the deceased's field of work and passion. What in the world made you think this was at all appropriate, or warranted?

Amount of love given to Danya post-mortem is unprecedented. I can't recall anything of the kind. But here is the problem - where all of you were when Danya was alive and unwell? I am not talking now about stepping in when he was accused. Although it is a separate important matter. I know many people find it hard to express their opinion, as the problem is indeed huge, and striking a balance is nearly impossible. One thing is clear : the way Kramnik approaches it, simply can't be accepted. And his reaction on Danya's passing is appalling and outright shameful. FIDE is not a court of justice, but we will act within our jurisdiction. However, let's not oversimplify it. It is too simple to focus on Kramnik and forget everything else. Danya was clearly not at his best in recent months. He stopped appearing as a commentator for one reason or another, he was not his usual self. Now, all those who claim how dear Danya was to their heart, how good a friend they were, where have you been? What did you do? All these Kramnik attacks on Danya happened not this week or month. It was not like a shocking accusation, that killed Danya overnight. It kept haunting him for more than a year, even if there was not much of polemics of recent. So, I ask you, alleged Danya's friends, what did you do to help him for half a year or so? Did many of you write him to ask, whether he is OK? Why he, arguably the best online commentator disappeared from the screens? Did you text him to ask why did he stop streaming? Throughout 15 years I spoke to Danya many times, though we never were friends. He fascinated me long before he became a famous streamer. I met him when he just started being coached by my former trainer, Lev Psakhis. And we spoke rarely but in length many times since. I look at our correspondence from 2014, when he was thinking of a life path. And then later in 2017, and in 2019, and in 2021. Most recent online conversation was in 2024 when I invited him to comment on the Match in Singapore. And the last time I spoke to him in person was during the Grand Swiss in Samarkand, where he seconded a top player, hiding this fact for one reason or another. All the recent years I had a feeling Danya was not a happy person, although he made many people happy. Our last lengthy conversation took place in 2021, when he was already a famous online player and streamer, but still was considering a career of a real professional player. He was very much in doubt whether he is doing the right thing with all the blitz and streaming - he even considered moving to Europe to have more opportunities as a player, "but it is very difficult with all the online success I have". It came at a price. The boy with shining eyes had less and less shining left. And now, he is gone. Way too early. If he looks from above, he might be surprised to read about this or that person allegedly being his friend. Danya was kind to many, but it feels like most of the time he was lonely. Virtue signalling and like-grabbing is the worst way to pay respect to Danya. He was special on so many levels. He will be missed - or rather he is very much missed already. The Danya.

Do you not understand how disrespectful this is, for this to be your response to Daniel dying? To accuse him of being on "serious drugs"? I saw the same stream and strongly disagree. You're a ghoul & not a good person.

“Capitalism is a system of self-destruction simply because it only understands doing, building and achieving. It is fundamentally incapable of undoing, fixing, stopping or reducing”

Agreed. Thank you for speaking out on this painful but important issue. @VBkramnik needs to delete his social media and stop speaking about anything having to do with chess.

What is wrong with you @VBkramnik ? This is yoyr respons to someone dying? He looked up to you as world champion, and you relentlessly bullied and maligned him, publicly tarnashing his reputation without just cause. You're a sick person

BREAKING: Hundreds of students are gathering at the University of Virginia’s lawn to tell the Board and interim president not sign onto Trump’s corrupt ‘Contract’ for colleges. This is amazing.

95% of what DHS says is a lie. Why do they lie so much if they believe in what they're doing?
