Pretty funny of Iran to put out a tweet saying "heyheyheyyy c'maahn I'm a little guy, I'm just a little guyy, noo, it's also my birthday, I'm a little birthday boyyyyy" while their missiles are literally still in the air.
Significant delays in Western aid, due in part to successful Russian information operations and Western hesitancy, have created an opportunity for Russian offensive operations and Russia’s strike campaign.

This will likely be an important battle. Chasiv Yar is located on defensible high ground. If Russia takes the city, they could potentially increase the rate of advance deeper into Donetsk Oblast as part of an expected summer offensive. Russian forces will still have to cross the…

The MAGA right, anti-war left, self-styled realists, the Pope, and others say it's time for Ukraine to negotiate. But from Russia sympathizers to well-intentioned peacemakers, all duck a key question: What if Putin doesn't want peace? Me in @thedailybeast thedailybeast.com/what-if-putin-…
The increasingly effective Russian strike campaign in Ukraine threatens to constrain Ukraine’s long-term warfighting capabilities and set operational conditions for Russia to achieve significant gains on the battlefield.

Ukrainian voices are being shut down with bullets & shells. Among them, you will never hear soldier "Nord", Serhiy Konoval here again, because he was killed in action by Russia. He was born in Ternopil in 1992, died near Chasiv Yar on April 6th, 2024. Here is his last tweet.

Battle for Chasiv Yar. Analysis, Implications, Projection 🧵Thread: The battle for Chasiv Yar is a litmus test for both sides. Losing control of it will have dire results for Ukraine. Failure to capture Chasiv Yar on time would raise doubts about Russia's ability to seize Donbas

The problem isn't just a strike that killed civilians—that's almost entirely unavoidable in conflict and will happen—it's that there's been a six-month continuous pattern of obvious disregard for civilian casualties in Israeli operations.

Inviting an outside speaker for commencement is arguably choosing to honor them and give them a captive audience. Valedictorian earned it under established rules. Doesn't matter what she posted. It's a free speech issue. And barring her due to threats of violence makes it worse.
USC announced that valedictorian Asna Tabassum’s commencement speech has been canceled, stating it was “necessary to maintain the safety of our campus and students” ‘I am surprised that my own university has abandoned me,’ Tabassum said in a statement uscannenbergmedia.com/2024/04/15/pro…
Blocking traffic is illegal, inconsiderate and wrong. But using deadly force against people for blocking traffic is a crime. Do not commit crimes. And it is flagrantly irresponsible for a United States Senators to encourage the commission of crimes.
I encourage people who get stuck behind the pro-Hamas mobs blocking traffic: take matters into your own hands to get them out of the way. It's time to put an end to this nonsense.
By the way, it's been 4 months since the last authorised US military aid package for Ukraine, and lots of very ridiculous "foreign policy realists" insisted that Ukraine and Russia would broker a peace treaty if Ukraine was finally cut off. All that has happened is that more…

Foreign Affairs published today the results of a most fruitful collaboration between @scharap and yours truly, an article on the failed peace talks between Russia and Ukraine (March-April 2022). foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/talks-….
And yet again, they make no attempt to address why this “Istanbul I” would be respected by Putin any more than the Minsk I and Minsk II. Force the army that just humiliated Russia in Kyiv to disarm before invading again in a few years time. Do not take the opinion of anyone who…
And here’s how Britain’s most senior Putin apologists are interpreting it, if you needed any more evidence that these idiots don’t read anything beyond the headline and don’t actually scrutinise any of the details contained in the reporting.

@BlkBeardedFella @whstancil Poor people especially have more spending power than 2019.
@BlkBeardedFella @whstancil No they don’t. We can literally see their bank accounts. 40% higher than early 2020, and now paychecks after tax are starting to curl upward again.
Inflation has not moved faster than wage growth. On average people have more spending power now than in 2019 (or any other time). This is especially true for workers at the lower end of the wage spectrum.
@whstancil That is unfortunately an incredibly wrong-headed position to take. The inflation we've been experiencing has moved faster than wage growth. Many poor and middle class people have less spending power now than they did in 2019.
@unusual_whales he knows that bots will just pay the fee, right?
@ramthebladeship @GASLIGHTER_ Thanks to sustained progressive pressure -- from ACORN to Sanders to WFP to DSA -- mostly Dem-run states have raised the nationwide effective minimum wage higher than ever in history. Use the theory above to explain this fact. Were Dems "moving right" or "letting the Reps win"?
@GASLIGHTER_ This is just wrong. Since 2023: 80% of Rep states banned abortion; 80% of Dem states expanded abortion rights 80% of Rep states tried to ban trans youth healthcare; 80% of Dem states protected it Federal Dem inaction is terrible. Why pretend that Reps are not even worse?
