The Wagner Group’s mutiny (or was it an insurrection? or a coup attempt?) will be hard for Putin to dismiss as a Western plot, as Yevgeny Prigozhin was entirely his creation.
Putin has, until now, been giving something of a free hand to ultra-nationalist opponents of the war in #Ukraine, for reasons that are a mystery to outsiders.
The events of the last 24 hours expose weakness in his regime.

No.
“Man who the defrauds children’s charities, sexually assaults women, attacks America and tries to overturn democracy dominates annual gathering of religious conservatives”
That’s the headline
Tax the churches.
Tax the churches.

@voron @Npars01 I think that the Dems can’t be who they want to be, at least they feel that way, because they are worried about the country split down the middle, and want to continue to hold office. They are too cozy with the Corporatocracy. I was very disappointed when a majority of them voted pro-Iraq war/invasion based on a pack of lies. However in a binary system and a broken-bad GOP, no way I’m voting for anti-democracy, fascist leaning lunatics on the Right.

@Npars01 I can’t say the Dems are blameless on this one.

A rational immigration policy package has been known for decades, hell Regan even supported much of it
.
1. increase & streamline legal immigration
2. Increase penalties & enforcement on EMPLOYERS
3. Create a guest worker program with a path to citizenship
Neither party will champion it because the rich WANT a vulnerable underclass of workers

In early 2024, @nasa is launching the PACE satellite, which will see the ocean in more colors than ever before.
PACE is also hyperspectral and will be able to identify phytoplankton by species for the first time from space. https://go.nasa.gov/3JtCw2Y

NASA wants to identify species of phytoplankton, tiny plant-like ocean organisms, from space. Why?
They produce oxygen, soak up carbon, are food for fish, can cause harmful algal blooms, and more. https://go.nasa.gov/3Pp2W9T 🌊

BREAKING: Putin blinks.
In deal brokered by Belarus president Lukashenko, Wagner chief Prigozhin agrees to turn back from Moscow and return to bases to avoid bloodshed — in exchange for Putin guaranteeing their security.
The coup is paused. For now. Putin is now vulnerable.

Different possibility though — that Putin and Prigozhin orchestrated the last 24 hours as theatre, to give Putin the pretense to completely reshuffle (and purge) Russia’s military leaders.

I wonder when Trump will take credit for stopping the coup.

From BBC
"So far this is not a coup, as there has been no stated bid to seize power from the government.
Prigozhin's "private military company" does not represent the military either,
although he does claim to have widespread support in the armed forces"

Ground News - Wagner chief says he has ordered his mercenaries to halt their march on Moscow to avoid shedding Russian blood
@tultican The GOP is off the rails thinking that if they go for broke, let it all hang out, let their true disgusting views be known, they will become unstoppable, where in reality, more and more citizens are feeling queezy. A strange parallel with the Emperor Donny playbook. 🤔
