Hi Guys, Khashoggi's Ghost here. X-Twitter kicked me off mid session and when I tried to log back on, they told me the email address I've used for 16 years on this platform was "incorrect." When I try to reach them they inform me they can't "verify" it, even though ... cont

The U.S. government just made a land deal with the world's first trillionaire. Not a sale. A trade. Because apparently that's how we do things now. 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge - built by Congress in 1979 to protect one of the most biodiverse wildlife corridors left in North America - handed to SpaceX. Endangered ocelots. Aplomado falcons. Piping plovers. Land the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas has called sacred since long before there was a United States. SpaceX built a rocket launch site next door. Then came the explosions. Concrete and metal hurled six miles across refuge land. A 2024 study found that after one launch, every single monitored shorebird nest near the site suffered egg damage or loss. The Fish and Wildlife Service's response was not enforcement. It was a land swap. FOIA documents show internal planning for this transfer started as early as April 2025 - while Musk was running DOGE and threatening to fire federal workers who didn't justify their jobs to him. The agency developed what they called "the most expedited schedule possible" to get it done. Part of what's being handed over includes the Palmito Ranch Battlefield - the site of the last battle of the Civil War. A National Historic Landmark. Once transferred, SpaceX can restrict public access whenever they want. 25,000 people submitted public comments. Most opposed the deal. The government moved forward anyway. A coalition of tribal and conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit this week to stop it. Because someone has to. Why are we cutting real estate deals with a trillionaire when we could have just made him pay for it? #DemsUnited

"Vance got to the point. They needed to invoke the Insurrection Act, swiftly, to crush the unrest in Minnesota. It would be painful in the short term, he said, but the message it would send — that paid agitators could not get away with disrupting ICE operations — would make sure no one tried it again. (There was no evidence that either Mr. Pretti or Ms. Good had been paid activists.)" nytimes.com/2026/06/15/us/po…

Ukraine built the Soviet nuclear program from the ground up, you brainwashed illiterate moron. The Kharkiv physics institute (UFTI) was the USSR's premier nuclear research institution, and Ukraine had the most dense ecosystem of physics and engineering talent. In 1940 two Ukrainian scientists - Maslov and Shpinel - filed the first correct Soviet blueprint for an atomic bomb, contemporaneous with the British Frisch-Peierls memo that launched the Manhattan Project. Kurchatov, the "father" of the Soviet bomb, personally petitioned the government to pull Ukrainian physicists out of the army because he needed them. The Dnipro factory Yuzhmash then built literally every major Soviet ICBM - the R-16, the R-36 "Satan," the SS-19, SS-20, SS-24 - the entire nuclear delivery backbone. At independence in 1991, Ukraine inherited the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal, which it had largely designed and manufactured. I can't believe your vote has the same weight as someone like @cabsav456 Seriously, that needs to change. Would you be open to the idea of Potemkin voting for the likes of you? You can still go, fill a ballot and get a pin - kind of like daycare for low-information people that have no business doing anything more complex than following their wives' shopping list.

I cannot believe what I’m witnessing in Kyiv tonight. Priests at the Kyiv Lavra one of the holiest Christian sites in Europe are rushing to save crucifixes, icons and sacred artefacts while Russia attacks the city. This is what Moscow’s “Christian values” look like.
