#Zelenskiy asks #Switzerland to lift ban on re-export of weapons to #Ukraine
"I know there is a discussion in Switzerland about the exportation of war material to protect and defend Ukraine.
We need weapons so we can restore peace in Ukraine"

Ron DeSantis new idea: What if we can convict someone of any crime with only ONE "Yes" vote from a jury, and that juror may be paid by any interested party?

Should the FCC look at Rupert Murdoch's broadcast licenses?
#CorruptTrump
Ever read The Dead Zone by Stephen King? I’ll swear that 40 years ago King channeled Donald Trump in the character of Presidential candidate Greg Stillson. This is the kind of National threat that is produced when we elect a corrupt, narcissistic, mentally ill sociopath into top leadership. 😬

Exclusive footage from the temporarily occupied left bank of the Dnipro.
The Russians do not evacuate residents from flooded areas or allow Ukraine to do so. But technology comes to the rescue. The Ukrainian attack drone Vampire, which previously destroyed the occupiers, delivers humanitarian aid to Ukrainians under occupation. Ukraine fights every day for the lives of people who are trapped.

Oooh, interesting. Not sure if this is still the case, but the #Mafia apparently was in control of #bread prices in #Italy 2016: "The police allege that bread retailers of all sizes, whether a street vendor or a supermarket, have had to buy their bread from bakeries tied to the Camorra Mafia for years, or otherwise deal with some of the mob's famous extracurriculars" #crime https://www.vice.com/en/article/78m7we/police-arrested-24-italian-mobsters-for-fixing-the-price-of-bread-in-naples

The European Parliament recognized the blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP as a war crime of Russia, — the report of the European Parliament based on the results of the plenary session in Strasbourg.
Deputies called on the EU to continue supporting Ukraine, introduce new sanctions against Russia and direct billions of frozen financial assets of Russian oligarchs to rebuild Ukraine.

#Avatar2 Just experienced a second viewing on Disney+. The first time, it was an expectations problem that kept me from completely embracing it. Seemed like some repetition to remind us that we loved the original. The second time, it brought me around. 👍 😃

#TrumpCorrupt He can’t make up his mind and his dummies don’t seem to care. All he had to do was say sorry, my mistake, take them, but now after his inditement,, reports are besides claiming the classified documents were planted, they are his to keep. He is basically trying to rewite the laws on the power of his populism. How much will stick? He is going for broke and if he can prevail, we as a Nation WILL KEEP SLIDING DOWN.

Will be fun to watch law enforcement claim to have been totally caught by surprise again when they somehow fail to show up with all of their heavily militarized crowd control gear they're always so eager to bust out whenever a leftist protest blocks a sidewalk.

@TexasObserver @delger Texas GOP has always seemed to be more about business and profits of which a clean environment stands in the way of that goal as far as they are concerned. My understanding is that pollution monitoring has been shut down in the state as much as possible. I live near Houston. 😢

“Why must we wait until we have irreparable damage to do something?”
When it comes to the historic #Brazos river, one company reigns supreme—as the top polluter—of this vital waterway. As her final contribution as our staff writer, @delger takes us down the "The River of the Arms of God" and looks at the damage done by #Dow: https://www.texasobserver.org/dow-brazos-river-pollution-nurdles/
