โผ๏ธ Russia will not be able to capture Donbas before August 2027, โ ISW
Giving Russia the rest of the Ukrainian Donbas would be a strategic mistake, wrote the American Institute for the Study of War, arguing that it would take the Russian army at least 18 months to achieve this by force.

Neil Young Reasserts Amazon Boycott, Gifts Entire Catalog To Greenland
In October, Neil Young pulled his catalog from Amazon Music and called for a boycott. โBUY LOCAL. BUY DIRECT. BEZOS SUPPORTS THIS GOVERNMENT. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT YOU OR ME,โ he wrote. Now, heโs reasse...
"Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president," writes Neil Young. โThe president's international policies and his support of ICE, make it impossible for me to ignore his actions.โ
He also announced that anyone in Greenland can access his entire catalog for free at his site.

Everything Noem said about Alex is a complete lie. She said he went there to 'inflict maximum damage'? which makes it sound like like there was a 'plan'. The only plan we all see is DHS callousness, incompetence of its violent agents and ignorance of leadership.

If we want to remove or diminish Stephen Miller, perhaps we should get #PresidentMiller trending on X. Trump can't stand sharing the spotlight. It worked well on Musk. Any disruption we can cause is a victory.
