A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

Another American Citizen Killed in Broad Daylight by Federal Immigration Agents in Minneapolis Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, was killed during a federal immigration operation as family and colleagues demand answers.

Read the latest from The Intellectualist for Lincoln Square:

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

📦❗️ “Putin’s shadow mail”: how microelectronics for missiles that kill Ukrainians get from Europe to Russia, - BILD revealed how system works

Journalists from BILD used GPS beacons to track the path of parcels sent through the network of Russian Post employees in Germany.

Is this America First?

I don’t think so!

NBA star Tyrese Halliburton speaks out

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Zelenskyy: All sides must be ready for compromise, US included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that the United States must also be prepared to compromise during negotiations to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.

‼️ Zelenskyy: All sides must be ready for compromise, US included

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

russia is committing genocide against Ukrainians — and the world still hesitates to name it.

Greetings from Kyiv.

I’m fine, just needed some me-writing time. No need to worry if I don’t post, but thank you.

I’ve just sent a new Sunday Letter; you’re welcome to read.

Electricity is a bit better today (Kyiv is big, and the situation differs across districts).

Kyiv residents gathered for an outdoor party as russian strikes left them with no energy grid, heating, or water in the dead of winter.

​"We have more electricity at night than during the day. Water comes and goes. We have almost no heating. But we have strength of spirit and a desire to live."

And it's Ukrainian children living in horror and not that fucking russian scum that is whitewashed all the fucking time for no reason at all. They never fucking did anything good at all to be THAT whitewashed.

But again. Nothing new.
5.

But unfortunately Ukrainians are not living in a fucking movie where villain is just misunderstood person with traumatic past. Ukrainians living in fucking reality where they fight fucking monsters who rape children and where more than 100 million other monsters supporting it and cheering.

Poland and Ukraine deepen military cooperation amid drone threats Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz met his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal in Kyiv to discuss joint military initiatives and sign key bilateral agreements.

So when it is Polish air space that needs protection - it is ok to partner with Ukrainians in protecting it. It is not "dragging Poland/NATO into the war", unlike when it is Ukraine that needs protection. Pathetic hipocrisy.

I planned writing a thread about weaponization of migration by russia, but there's already an article I can share right now, so please read it.

Also, Philip is doing a great job reporting on russians' influence and crimes in Africa, so check his posts too.

battalion and we are the largest and fastest growing battalion in 93rd Brigade

Yesterday some of our new men were being trained on Tac Med by our first ever team of foreign instructors.

My boys need your help

Russia's going unpunished has led to:
◾️ escalation of conflicts around the world;
◾️ a broken system of international law;
◾️ economic wars;
◾️ shifts of markets;
◾️ law of the strongest in action;
◾️ new wars/refugees;
◾️ the redistribution of spheres of influence;
◾️ a change in world leaders;

We are witnessing the death of American democracy There are parallels but also differences between Trump’s America and Germany in the early 1930s

Russian losses 'entirely justified,' Zelensky says President Volodymyr Zelensky said on June 19 that he held talks with the SBU about deep strikes in Russia. "Russia must continue to suffer entirely justified losses due to its aggression."

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on June 19 that he held talks with the SBU about deep strikes in Russia. "Russia must continue to suffer entirely justified losses due to its aggression."

Imperialistic conquest through continuous war is🇷🇺's aim. Constant war takes its toll on the intended victim state regardless of gains made by the aggressor. Complacent European leaders providing inadequate support now just delay the day when their own citizens will fight russia.

💔🇺🇦President Zelenskyy shared heartbreaking stories of children who were killed during the war.
