In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce an American conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation (@Heritage). Heritage is best-known for opposing military aid to Ukraine and for their political initiative called Project 2025, a potential blueprint for a Trump presidency.

Russians have been furious at me for calling their country a wasteland so I went today to Kursk to check it out for myself.
Turns out it is a wasteland. However the Russian residents told me they finally had flushing toilets now that Ukrainians liberated it. So that’s a bonus and improvement.🤣
@pfrazee.com, I have a relatively large account over on X where I publish mostly threads. X has a lot of nice features that would be useful here, too.
If you need any ideas about how I would improve Bluesky, let me know!

Nossa história é marcada por uma exploração caótica e irresponsável dos recursos naturais. Nem os claros sinais de esgotamento do solo, das águas, da biodiversidade ou do clima parecem inibir a ganância desses parasitas travestidos de brasileiros. Independência é mudar tudo isso para sobreviver!

O país inteiro pegando fogo, as PESSOAS RESPIRANDO FULIGEM e rios secando completamente mas qual é a prioridade do Congresso Nacional?
A sucessão de Arthur Lira, anistia para criminosos do 8 de Janeiro e picuinha com o STF.
O Congresso brasileiro está na Suíça!

Fantástico agora sobre as bets e a Deolane...eles poderiam mostrar também como o Grupo Globo e a MGM Resorts, uma das maiores operadoras de cassinos do mundo, vão se unir para explorar apostas online no BR. Estão "limpando o mercado" para explorar a doença dos brasileiros de forma regulamentada...

As a Haitian-American I am appalled and terrified at what we're seeing today.
Elected officials, using their verified government accounts (even the US HOUSE JUDICIARY ACCOUNT) are spreading a story that is provably false in order to stoke violence against Haitians
Every Haitian I know is afraid
