A #Ukrainian military spokeswoman has said troops have pushed back occupying #Russian forces some 3-8 km from the left -- or eastern -- bank of the River #Dnipro. #Ukraine's army has said in recent days that it's taken several positions on the Russian- controlled side of the river near Kherson. Fighting has been reported -- incl by Russian military bloggers -- near #Krynky and Poima. Establishing a bridgehead on the Russian- controlled side has been a long- held Ukrainian objective.

@AlliFlowers @GottaLaff Absolutely... Hamas is authoritarian and, therefore, anti-human rights. Authoritarianism is evil.
“Palestinian people deserve state of their own..free from Hamas.."
Q: Who doesn't understand this?
A: A lot of people.
The GOP billionaires funding fascism want to cherry pick who can even get an education.
Every anti-democracy movement begins with gatekeeping on public education.

Education, along with unions, is a driver of social mobility.
Bigotted billionaires want to end social mobility for non-Christians, immigrants, women, & POC.
They never want another success story like Obama to ever happen again.

He’s calling for a ceasefire, appears to be getting it…also laying out very pro-Palestinian plan for post-conflict, pledging to hold Israel accountable for settler violence
You know, everything that people said he shd do:
“Palestinian people deserve state of their own..free from Hamas..
“I have been emphatic with Israel’s leaders that extremist violence against Palestinians in W Bank must stop..those committing the violence must be held acctbl.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/18/joe-biden-gaza-hamas-putin/

That's right, they don't think Jews are white. And we know what their intentions are toward people who they don't consider white.
#FoxnewsSunday's Roundtable is talking about young people on #TikTok touting "a letter from Osama bin Laden" about #Israel and claiming "OBL was right. Disgusting."
Several minutes in and NO ONE has mentioned the fact OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD.
Does the Right Wing now believe OBL wasn't really killed in 2011? 🤨

@AlliFlowers @edutooters I am glad that you were able to manage with what you had, but it sounds like there were not adequate resources. I appreciate the picture for perspective, and it reminds me of some settings I have seen.
🇺🇸 US: Louisiana State University (LSU) women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey under fire as COVID-19 comment worries reporters.
"I ain't a sissy, I don't have allergies. I got some kind of cold. It might be COVID, but I ain't tested!" Mulkey said with a laugh as she stood up to leave the news conference. "No, it's sinus, I don't know what you call it, allergies, flu, I don't know. So if you all get the flu, blame me during Thanksgiving, alright?" 🤦♂️

@DoomsdaysCW @frederick people really need to stop using the word “renewable”. This is a word coined by fossil fuel industr marketing assholes, trying to sell the public on fuels grown on fields instead of switching to shit that doesn’t burn. The word you’re looking for is “sustainable”.
