Two quick housekeeping notes. First, I am going to keep tonight’s update very brief for obvious reasons.
Second, before anyone asks, yes, I saw the clips of what Musk did. Those gestures are definitely NAZI salutes. They are not a symptom of Asperbergers or being on the spectrum or whatever other bullshit is being promoted to try to gaslight everyone. That’s all I have to say about that.
History has had extremely dark times when humankind had all reasons to be ashamed and terrified of itself… but I’m trying really hard to recall a time when so many things around were such a grave insult to basic human intellectual capabilities.

I mean, the world’s richest man doing the Nazi salute at the U.S. presidential inauguration ceremony… there’s something fundamentally wrong about this world right now.

Right now, 9:22 PM EST/4:22 AM local time in Ukraine, all of eastern and central Ukraine, from north to south, is under air raid alert with the exception of Chernihiv Oblast. The alert maps are showing drones, but it is important to remember that the drone swarms are often used to try to overwhelm Ukrainian air defense so that the missiles and bombs can get through.
This was last night’s Ukrainian air defense tally:
On the eve of Trump’s inauguration, fascist Russia makes huge drone attack against democratic Ukraine: of 141 drones, 93 Iranian/Russian Shahed attack drones shot down, 47 decoy drones’ location lost (two flew back to Russia). Shostka in Sumy Oblast came under Russian ballistic missile attack.
