Video: New Video Analysis Reveals Flawed and Fatal Decisions in Shooting of Pretti A frame-by-frame assessment of actions by Alex Pretti and the two officers who fired 10 times shows how lethal force came to be used against a target who didn’t pose a threat.

Cowards and murderers. That's what they are.

I feel like I contributed to the work somehow, and it may very well be one of my greatest scientific achievements 😉🤣

There is a reason why Witkoff-Kushner clandestinely try to betray Ukraine and this is due to the overwhelming support of the American people for Ukraine. The Reagan National Defense Survey polled following numbers:

Appointing hegseth to run dod is so stupid it would be like appointing rfk jr to run hhs

OK, you just made me realize I'm officially old. It's the first time I had to remove my glasses and move the phone away from my face to check spirit and accent... 😱😭😭

Who is surprised wikileaks didn't leak the call with Witkoff getting his instructions from Kremlin?

The only “peace plan” that makes sense is the one from Sanna Marin, Finland’s former Prime Minister:

“The way out of the conflict is for Russia to leave Ukraine. That is the way out of the conflict.”

Tra l'altro, Lunacharsky profilo necessario per sopravvivere nella fogna previously known as Twitter (se proprio si deve)!

Ah sugli asset si vede proprio! A parte le rassegne stampa italiana che è più una discarica del solito, basta fare un giro tra l'indifferenziata chiamata X per vedere. Si muovono veramente a ondate!

Forse perché, sapendo che non andava da nessuna parte, volevano mettere in imbarazzo gli USA e sotto pressione l'Ucraina (rendendo evidente che la WH la controllano sempre loro)?

Sinceramente, non ho letto nulla al riguardo, ma, se è vero che il piano è stato fatto trapelare da un leak dei russi, mi chiedo... a quale scopo? Perché vogliono sabotare anche questa boiata, non certo sfavorevole a loro?

What a despicable heap of human waste... 🤢

Orban banned it, so even more people turned out

What I loved from this chat? Joanna Coles' "Gladys Knight and the Pips" 🤭

I passed by just the other Sunday and told my daughter: "you'd NEVER find a café in a cemetery in Italy; the whole idea would be considered madness not just there, but in any Mediterranean country, I think!"

Evening lecture by @francescom.bsky.social and welcome drink!

My parade sucks cos Ukrainians blew up all my tanks. What's Donald's excuse?

The official Tankie guide to Israel-Iran war in 10 rules.

1. Being attacked by a nuclear power no longer means you should surrender immediately.

Let's all be the rain on this motherfucker's parade.

After Ukraine’s successful attack on Russian airbases Sunday, Trump privately fumed that it could escalate the war. It reignited his grudge against Zelensky and prompted White House talk of abandoning Ukraine, The Atlantic reports.

Russian asset

Oddio, veramente l'ultimo dem invischiato in un caso di traffico di armi non mi pare fosse proprio uno dei riformisti...

True. And also, as the famous quip about "what is original vs what is correct in somebody's work" shows, there is a whole industry (like with student papers or dissertations) where we want to keep creativity strictly in check. This industry was simply devastated!

Pres, Gagliardi, of the 🇺🇸 Federation of Musicians:

“We will not remain silent as 2 of our members Bruce Springsteen & Taylor Swift r singled out & personally attacked by the POTUS. S&S r not just brilliant musicians, they r role models & inspirations 2 millions of ppl in the US & across the🌍”

A cartoon depicts two bearded cavemen in primitive clothing standing in the foreground. One of them, with a disapproving expression, says, “LOOK AT THESE KIDS… ADDICTED TO TECHNOLOGY.” In the background, a group of smiling cavechildren, also dressed in primitive clothing, are gathered around a fire, each holding a small flame. The humor lies in the anachronistic use of the phrase “addicted to technology” to describe fascination with fire—one of humanity’s earliest technological breakthroughs—highlighting how every generation tends to view new tools or innovations with suspicion.

One month ago today we killed 34 civilians attending an Easter church service in Sumy cos we defend Christian values.

You have imposed no meaningful consequences upon us. This means you permit it.

Oggi avevano tutti pilates quelli che la scorsa estate ci hanno ammorbato con gli "insulti ai miliardi di Cristiani" delle Olimpiadi di Parigi.🤭
