30,000 tons of Russian munitions blown up!

Russian media report that because of detonation at the 107th arsenal of GRAU in Toropets, an earthquake of 2.8 points was recorded, and windows were broken five kilometers away. This looks like a strike on a largest ammunitions warehouse during the full-scale war.

"We almost shot you. We thought you were ukrops [Ukrainians]."

A brilliant operation recorded by the camera of one of the soldiers of the 12th Azov Brigade, during which the Ukrainians pretended to be Airborne Forces reconnaissance and went to the Russian positions.

The finale is worthy of an Oscar!

“In recent weeks, #police across #California have threatened journalists with arrests for covering evictions of homeless encampments. It’s unclear why — the journalists aren’t interfering with the evictions. But they are documenting them, and clearly officers don’t want that.”

In a blog post from 2012, J.D. Vance, then a law student at Yale, criticized the Republican Party for being “openly hostile to non-whites” and alienating “Blacks, Latinos, [and] the youth.”

Four years later, he asked his former college professor to take down the post, titled “A Blueprint for the GOP.”
