russia's digital Iron Curtain descends as kremlin chokes remaining internet freedoms
Three and a half years into its all-out war against #Ukraine, the kremlin is waging a parallel battle at home — this time against internet freedom.
A federal judge late Sunday temporarily blocked the #Trump admin from deploying any #NationalGuard units to #Oregon at all, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when Trump mobilized #California troops for #Portland after the same judge blocked him from using Oregon’s National Guard the day before.
During a hastily called evening telephone hearing, US District Judge Karin Immergut granted a temporary restraining order sought by CA & OR.

Pete Hegseth was barred from attending Biden’s 2021 Presidential inauguration because he was identified as an insider threat.
The current Secretary of War is an insider threat! Let that sink in.
The Secretary of War is under investigation by the DoW Inspector General for his actions during the Signal Gate 1 & 2 incidents.
It’s why Hegseth wants to fire all the IG’s investigating him.

“Today,💙our family braved the "warzone" streets of #Chicago to scavenge lunch.
The quiet. The relaxing parks. The comfortable seats in the rest. The kind people who held doors & helped us get the strollers down stairs. I can hardly believe we made it back home alive...
The big problem facing Chicago? The same problem facing the rest of the C:🚨Trump being in power & wanting to distract from his endless failures by deploying the MIL into city streets to intimidate US citizens.”

@stacescases #ClarenceThomas will probably be willing to strike down #mixedmarriages; when he looks in the mirror he sees a white man! He is a delusional self-hater in favor of #whitechristiannationalism. #SCOTUS
How RFK Jr could could really screw up vaccines: he’s “floated” the idea of adding autism to the list of conditions covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Why would that be a huge problem — beyond the simple fact that we know vaccines do not cause autism? This pre-Bari-Weiss article from CBS explains:
