For anyone verifying this: yes, it's no longer available but a reverse image search shows not only that it's real but more disturbingly, it quickly sold out.
Fitting with todays news.

The worst thing about the ongoing โpeace negotiationsโ and Trumpโs Greenland gambit is that they distract from Russiaโs ongoing humanitarian warfare.
Happy to report that @lapatina.bsky.social and friends have been busy delivering emergency batteries around Kyiv ! A good way to help โฌ๏ธ

It took the Islamic State two days, but as expected - the terrorists needed this time to prepare propaganda of Niamey airport assault and deal a blow to the Nigerien junta as I was warning. ISGS was able to locate drone storage facilities and destroy some of them. #Niger

So QAnon spent years spreading conspiracy theories that the government was run by a cabal of elite pedophiles and it turns out they supported the actual cabal of elite pedophiles to get into power and destroy democracy.

That misses the point completely. The talk is about self-determination, which doesn't apply to Luhansk or Crimea. Greenland (which is something that Noel appears to have added on their own) does, and it's recognised by Denmark & UN. If anything the US is acting against Greenland's self-determination

Sure, just the fact it is russian flag and cargo raises suspicions, but still necessary to point out it's the rare instance of a ship with these characteristics that isn't believed to be involved in the shadow fleet, as of now at least

There are several "AI enhanced" images related to the Alex Pretti killing making the rounds. They claim to show new details.
Please keep in mind: AI image upscaling is not a reliable analytical method. AI platforms will in effect "hallucinate" and invent details that are not real.

Unfortunately many of the popular aggregators are known grifters and refuse to provide their source. Others stopped posting here for multiple reasons.
@specialkhersoncat.bsky.app is the biggest exception to that pattern and I do hope they get restored soon.

I hope @support.bsky.team reviews and reverts @specialkhersoncat.bsky.social's suspension. One of the few genuinely good aggregator accounts about Ukraine (and a source themselves about Kherson area events) still active here instead of moving back to the other site and a legitimate fundraiser.

That means equipping people who believe the truth still matters and the powerful need to be held to account with the skills, tools, and methodologies needed, making sure they're spread far and wide, and supporting networks and communities.

This isn't a crisis we fact-check our way out of, we need to build something bigger and more radical to resist the tide of authoritarianism engulfing our democracies. We can't wait for institutions to act, it's up to us to organise.

Just because people are not getting mass-killed (in part because of Ukraine having air defence systems) doesn't mean it is not a genocide.
Genocide is defined by intent, and that's why it applies in Ukraine, in Palestine, in Burma and in Sudan even if they are all very different wars.

Are you a supporter of Ukraine who has the ability to purchase a few dozen high-end directional microphones? They would be utilized to save lives from drone attacks. Please DM me if you can help, and for more details. Looking specifically for the Infineon IM73A135V01XTSA1.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was โarmed with a gunโ. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Even if the headline did address the questions, it is written in purely clickbait format and launders what is effectively a criminal organisation.
