“Honesty is simply a declaration of one’s own vulnerability-it is its keen, bright edge-and my own vulnerability and the vulnerability of others became, in the end, a kind of shared armour. I learned that, ultimately, our own truth and sense of self is all any of us have.”-N.Cave

Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.

I'm not done complaining about this. People who abuse animals are sure as fuck okay with abusing humans. The handlers in the elephant pee video are using bull hooks to control the animal. These are long metal poles with a hook on the end jammed into sensitive areas like armpits in order to control it. These are so cruel they have been outlawed two states so far (Rhode Island and California). In fact touching large wild animals and making them do things against their will is against the Association of Zoo & Acquariums accreditation and they require that Zoos be no-contact with their elephants. This means humans and animals are never in physical contact outside of specific medical treatment and an animal can ALWAYS walk away. Even most medical exams are done on animals which have made the choice (likely helped by being bribed with tasty treats like watermelon) to stand for the exam voluntarily, and a fence or grate separates the animal from the veterinarian or keeper. Good conservationists do not abuse their animals. And good stewards of animals sure as hell don't force them to parade through an insanely dangerous crowded convention halls using bullhooks. While I'm on this soap box, Houston Zoo is on the list of top worst Zoos for elephants. Dallas Zoo is one of the best and is doing it right. Fort Worth Zoo has recently made much needed improvements. 👉 Please do not normalize this animal abuse no matter what side of the aisle you're on. 👈 And if this torture device doesn't bother you, I'm happy to control your every moment using a giant stick and hook jabbed into your sensitive areas and you can let me know your review of this experience. (sorry Judge O'Hare, in this case this has nothing to do with National Kink Day).

Note to anyone angry that Trump's name was taken off the Kennedy Center, don't you worry. You can still find his name in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.

Tulsi Gabbard has been a Russian asset for years. This is common knowledge.👇

Small but mighty…. So many small fundraisers make such a massive impart for Ukraine and her people. Please do t overlook them

It’s funny how both Charlie Black and Roger Stone have San Francisco Bay Area interests now. Look how involved the No Labels National Vice Chair is locally and who with.

His Heart Could Not Endure: In Memory of Dmytro Shapovalov, Who Dreamed of an Apple for a Year in Captivity One year ago, on June 9, 2025, 32-year-old Ukrainian serviceman Dmytro Shapovalov passed away. Many people remember him from the powerful footage taken shortly after his release from Russian captivity, where he was eating an apple for the first time after spending more than a year as a prisoner of war. During captivity, he had dreamed of something as simple as an apple. Dmytro was born in Kadiivka, in the Luhansk region of Ukraine. He was a professional soldier who genuinely loved his service and dedicated his life to defending his country. He served in the 95th Air Assault Brigade and took part in operations in Crimea, Donetsk, the defense of Avdiivka, and the battles for Debaltseve. For his service, he was awarded the Order for Courage. In 2021, he briefly tried civilian life, but soon realized he belonged in the military and joined military intelligence. At the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Dmytro was captured near Nova Kakhovka. He spent one year, one month, and thirteen days in captivity. During that time, he was starved, tortured, and subjected to electric shocks. After being exchanged and returning home, he underwent rehabilitation. Yet despite everything he had endured, he chose to return to the front. He often said that he could not stay away while his brothers-in-arms still needed help. Dmytro later died while serving on the Zaporizhzhia front. According to his comrades, he went to sleep before a duty shift and never woke up. Doctors noted that, considering the severe torture and abuse he had suffered in captivity, his heart may simply not have been able to withstand the long-term consequences. His family remembers him as a determined patriot who defended his homeland against the occupiers who had driven him from his native land. Dmytro Shapovalov survived Russian captivity. He survived torture. He returned to defend Ukraine once again. May his memory be eternal. Glory to the Hero. #ukraine #ukrainehero

Konstantin Malofeev is a massive threat to global stability who is rarely discussed in the West. As an underestimated figure in modern Russia, he quietly builds the financial pipelines and propaganda networks used to wage hybrid war against the West. Malofeev has spent well over a decade serving as a crucial economic engine for Russian imperialism. He was a key funder behind the original 2014 occupation of Ukrainian territories and has consistently used his immense wealth to bypass international sanctions. Through his vast Tsargrad media network, he coordinates psychological operations that export extreme, anti-Western narratives disguised as conservative values. His domestic and political influence is mirrored perfectly in his personal life through his marriage to Maria Lvova-Belova. As the Russian official overseeing the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children, his current wife is actively targeted by an ICC arrest warrant. This partnership shows that Malofeev is not just a passive media mogul, but an active participant in the most severe crimes against humanity committed by the state. The global community continues to underestimate Malofeev, which is a mistake. He actively pushes hardline state ideology, enabling the genocide in Ukraine, and funding neo-fascist movements across Europe to weaken democratic alliances from within. Understanding his operations is absolutely essential because ignoring a puppet master this powerful allows the Kremlin to continue its global destabilization campaign unchecked

A few things are becoming clearer. russia will have ZERO oil producing facilities by the end of the war. russia will give back every sq mtr of land they stole. INCLUDING CRIMEA. That's it. That's the tweet.

Conservation groups are suing to stop the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from exchanging hundreds of acres of land with SpaceX in the Rio Grande Valley. The groups said they hope to preserve the land to protect the diverse wildlife there, including the endangered ocelot. bit.ly/43rcDKK

🚨BREAKING: @POTUS just opened three marine monuments to destructive industrial fishing. These areas are vital for protecting whales, sea turtles, sharks, and sensitive ocean ecosystems. This is an egregious attack on our public waters. #ProtectOurOcean #MonumentsForAll 🌊

After 320,000 acres in northern Arizona were nominated for oil and gas leasing, where experts say no oil or gas exists, a public lands mystery began. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

I have a serious question for anyone at the Office of the Secretary of the Navy or the Department of War. Why are underway Sailors at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia, many of whom are currently deployed to the Middle East for combat operations against Iran, required to pay $80 per month to the Navy Exchange (NEX) - a retail chain meant to support Sailors and their families which is owned and operated by the U.S. Navy - just to store their cars inside an overgrown, nonsecure, fenced lot? If Sailors decide not to park in the lot and leave their car anywhere else on base, they risk having their car towed, impounded, and in some cases auctioned off. How does this support our Sailors, many of whom are already struggling financially? Can something please be done about this? @SECNAV @USNavy @DeptofWar @DOWResponse @PeteHegseth

In 2020, Trump allegedly took classified docs to Mar-A-Lago, including ones that were so classified only 6 people had seen them. There’s an entire report on this scandal. But a judge has been keeping it hidden for years. We’re fighting for its release. joycevance.substack.com/p/tr…

🚨 ALBANIA'S PRIME MINISTER JUST TOLD 150,000 PROTESTERS THEIR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER. HIS EXACT WORDS: The last time a European leader said "I was voted in to make these things happen — I'm not voted to be led by people that have a different idea," the streets didn't empty. They filled. – Seventh straight night of protests outside Rama's office in Tirana — crowds stretching half a mile, Reuters confirmed – The demand: halt a €1.4 billion luxury resort project tied to Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners on Sazan Island and the protected Zvernec wetlands – Sazan: a former military base with bunkers and tunnels, sitting at the chokepoint between the Adriatic and Mediterranean – Zvernec: one of the last flamingo corridors on the Adriatic Flyway — migratory birds, monk seals, sea turtles – A 2024 law change quietly removed the protections that blocked development. Then the deal appeared. – 40 environmental groups demanded suspension since January 2026. Rama ignored every single one. – The European Commission issued a formal warning June 9: the project conflicts with EU environmental directives required for Albania's accession bid – The EU's exact words: Albania must "act without delay" or risk "undermining" its own membership candidacy – Rama's response to the EU: "There is absolutely no chance that the investment will stop as long as I am here." – Rama's response to the protesters: "I'm not voted to be led by people that have a different idea of how to develop the country." – The protesters' response to Rama: "Albania is not for sale." – Anti-corruption investigations into the related land legislation are now active – Albania has spent a decade working toward EU membership. One man is now betting it on one investor. Rama doesn't hold emergency press conferences to announce that he's backing down. He holds them to tell you he isn't. Whatever happens next — it's SOVEREIGNTY DEFINING. It's ACCESSION THREATENING. And it's happening in the streets right now. I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important. A lot of people will wish they followed me sooner. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @LeverNews)

Albanian protester mocks the notion Ivanka Trump "discovered" their only island, telling PBS News Hour, "We have only one island!" "I'm a tour guide, I go into that island like 60 times per year!"

At what point does it become treason

I am on two different bills that forces Congress to propose BIPARTISAN plan to balance the budget and also to save Social Security. The debt is a ticking time-bomb and we should deal with it before we have an economic emergency.

Hell yes we are. Americans shouldn’t have to sacrifice our cherished public lands to subsidize a corporation run by the richest man in the world.
