SCOTUS leaning extra-hard on the scales in the week before the election by allowing voter purges to continue in Virginia, overruling two levels of lower courts via the shadow docket.

U.S. folks, please get out there and vote for Kamala Harris.

You folks were super enthusiastic about my posting more on Mastodon, so let's try this.

RT/boost and let's see if there's interest in a regular #Ukraine thread!

For the last year, I've been tracking a notorious Russian unit known for its role in killing 100s of civilians.

This past month we published how we found them.
