#Explosions reported near railway station & in high-rise building. 1 person was killed, 3 other injured

The remote detonation of a devices used in Russian intelligence planned attacks is new tactic of #Moscow's allowing it to carry out attacks while getting rid of perpetrators

"These were attempted #terrorist attacks against #America.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine in February 2022, #Russia has attacked the #UnitedStates and #Europe on a near-daily basis using what are often referred to as “hybrid” operations, meant to hide the hand of the #Russian government and to remain below the threshold of #war so as not to trigger a response."

"Those #bombs were only a test run, part of a larger operation to place explosives on cargo & passenger #planes bound for the #UnitedStates & #Canada...

Who was behind this plan that could have sent #airplanes crashing to the ground after exploding in flames?

It wasn’t al Qaeda, or ISIS, or Hezbollah, or any other designated #terrorist organization.

It was Russia."

The #Trump admin has been conducting secret talks with the militant #Palestinian group #Hamas to try to secure the release of US #hostages seized in #Israel & held in #Gaza, 2 sources briefed said.

#US hostage affairs envoy Adam Boehler has authority to talk directly w/Hamas, the WH said when asked about the discussions, which run counter to longstanding #policy against negotiating w/groups that the US has designated as #terrorist organizations.

#Trump has cited #DrugTrafficking from #Mexico as one of the factors driving the… #tariffs. His admin has taken a number of steps to push back on the #cartels, including designating 7 of the #criminal groups as foreign #terrorist organizations. That move could result in penalties, including #criminal charges, for companies found to be entangled w/the cartels, but it has also raised concerns from the Mexican govt of a potential violation of Mexico’s #sovereignty.

"Musk’s anger at federal regulators powered his dedication to the wilding spree...

the plain facts of what both pieces describe make clear that the best conceptual model for #DOGE is something between an #InsiderThreat action and a #terrorist operation. The emphasis on secrecy, misdirection and illegality is all there, the focus on seizing control of central nodes of #power & destroying things"

According the source the video is from the mobile phone of a captured ukrainian military. On this video #ukraine #terrorist are making a trap on the entrance of a cellar. The trap is a grenade attached to the door that should explode when anyone tries to go outside from the cellar. There's a voice of a child crying from the inside of the cellar. A ukrainian military complains that civillians imprisoned inside the cellar are speaking russian.

In the #TPS termination notice, #KristiNoem argued that #Venezuelans no longer needed protection, in part because there had been “notable improvements in several areas such as the economy, public health, & crime.

[ & yet #Trump literally designated the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang a Global #Terrorist Organization TODAY!!!]

The lawsuit notes that Venezuelans cannot return home safely.

This is your daily reminder that #DonaldTrump and #Netanyahu are still thirsting for #blood and are continuing to commit #genocide on the #Palestinian people.
This is your reminder that the #UnitedStates is providing the fascist government of #Isreal all the tools it could want to commit #EthnicCleansing .
This is a reminder that #Israel is a #Terrorist nation and #America is #complicit .
People are being killed because they're not white, and the #Facists are greedy.

"The goal is to marginalize Hamas so that it understands that it has lost control of #Gaza, and to completely eliminate the #terrorist organization's grip on the population and the territory within 5 years from the start of #reconstruction,"

Welcome to 2025: Where Your Freedoms Go to Die

“There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.”—Montesquieu, Enlightenment philosopher
Wondering what to expect from the government in 2025?
So far, it looks like it will be more of the same ill-advised, costly, greedy, taxpayer-funded, dunderheaded power grabs, saber-rattling, graft, #corruption , and make-works programming that leaves us no better off than where we started.
Indeed, we’ve been down this road so many times before that there should be no surprise when, no matter who occupies the White House, we find ourselves subjected to more of the same when it comes to the erosion of civil liberties and the increasing power of the #government and its corporate partners-in-crime.
The following topics from the article:

- #Precrime
- Mandatory quarantines
- Mental health assessments by non-medical personnel

- Threat assessments
