Previously when I’ve shared this a number of people DM me to say they didn’t know it existed. This really surprised me, so I share it every so often.

If you might need it, tuck it away. If you know others who might, make sure they know.

We can feel vulnerable talking with friends and family. The 988 folks are compassionate, and enable anonymity and care when it’s needed most.

At 2:35 p.m. we have audio again, but still no video, and we hear Merchan say "Thank you, please be seated."

Merchan welcomes the jurors and starts by apologizing for how chilly it is in the courtroom.

Video is back on, and both sides are seated in the same seats as this morning

Merchan proceeds to read the boilerplate instructions for voir dire. Reminder: 30 mins per side

Breaking: #91Felonies rapist has posted a bond of nearly $92 million in E. Jean Carroll defamation case. The posted bond is exactly $91,630,000.00, which includes a district’s courts common practice of requiring a bond of 110% of the judgement.

Insurance company Chubb underwrote the $91.63 million bond for Donald Trump, which the former president signed on Tuesday, March 5.
Under the terms of the bond, Chubb will only secure the appeal of the $83.3 million judgment, not any future appeals.

#91Felonies Rapist got someone to give him almost exactly that amount. America has no idea who that is or who he is now beholden to, and that is unacceptable as a counterintelligence matter.

The whole world wants to know where the money to purchase the bond came from.

And U.S. intelligence needs to know.

A billionaire shouldn’t need an agency to post his $90M bond. That should be chump change to a billionaire. Where’s Mr. I’m so rich when it comes to paying his bills?

#Poland ministry of foreign affairs did a pretty good job at deconstructing #Putin’s pseudo-historical ramblings in their statement published here:

https://www.gov.pl/web/dyplomacja/oswiadczenie-msz-ws-10-klamstw-prezydenta-wladimira-putina-nt-polski-i-ukrainy-ktorych-nie-prostowal-tucker-carlson-wywiad-z-dnia-8-lutego-2024-r

It’s in Polish, so I will transcribe it here.

Putin: Poland collaborated/collaborated with Nazi Germany.

Before World War II, Polish diplomacy tried to maintain good neighbourly relations with Germany. There was no question of Poland entering into any military alliance with Hitler. Poland in the interwar period was between two aggressive neighbours: Germany and Russia, which did not in practice recognise the right of the Polish people to an independent state. A Polish-German declaration of non-violence was signed in Berlin in 1934 to guarantee the resolution of disputes by peaceful means. But earlier, in 1932, an analogous non-aggression pact was signed with the USSR.

Putin: The Poles forced Hitler to start World War II with them. Why did Poland start the war on 1 September 1939? It was uncooperative. Hitler was left with no other option in carrying out his plans [but] to start with Poland.

The Second Polish Republic rejected Hitler’s demands and also the proposal of a Polish-German alliance against the USSR. It was Hitler’s Germany and the Soviet authorities who, on 23 August 1939, signed an agreement against Poland (the so-called Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact), which enabled Germany to carry out its aggression against Poland on 1 September 1939. Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany cooperated unanimously until June 1941.

Putin: Poland became a victim of the policy pursued towards Czechoslovakia, because under the famous Ribbentrop-Molotov Protocols, part of these territories fell to Russia, including Western Ukraine.

Poland did not participate in, nor was it a party to, the Munich Agreement (30 September 1938), which de facto severely restricted Czechoslovakia’s sovereignty. Polish demands for Zaolzie were made after the Munich Pact was signed.

Putin: Thus, Russia, under the name of the Soviet Union, returned to its historical territories.

The USSR incorporated the eastern territories of the Second Republic as a result of armed aggression (17 September 1939) at a time when Poland was fighting the German invasion. It was a stab in the back inflicted on the Polish state. The so-called people’s referenda in the Polish borderlands, conducted by the Soviets, were carried out in an atmosphere of terror and falsification. Lviv and the territories of the then Lvov and Stanislavl Voivodeships (today’s Western Ukraine) had never belonged to the Russian Empire. The Vilnius region was not historically part of Russia either.

Putin: Ukraine is a de facto artificial creation created by Lenin and Stalin.

Modern Ukraine as a state was created by the Ukrainian national movement. The Bolsheviks did not create it, but only conquered part of its territory, turning it into a Soviet republic. Ukraine was created by the will of the Ukrainians themselves.

Putin: The left bank of the Dnieper, including Kiev, is historically Russian territory.

Kiev - was the historical capital of Rus, and Moscow did not exist at the time. In 1991, Ukraine became an independent state with internationally recognised borders.

Putin: The idea of Ukrainians as a separate nation emerged in Poland.

The process of self-determination of the Ukrainians as a separate ethnic group took place in parallel with analogous processes in 19th century Europe. No one artificially ‘invented’ the Ukrainian nation.

Putin: NATO bases were created on Ukrainian territory.

There are no #NATO bases on Ukrainian territory.

Putin: There have been two coups in Ukraine aimed at artificially breaking ties with Russia.

In the Orange Revolution, the Ukrainian people refused to accept electoral fraud. The organisation of another round of voting allowed the election of President Viktor Yushchenko, who actually won a majority of the votes. After the Revolution of Dignity, President Petro Poroshenko won democratically in the presidential elections.

Putin: In 2014, Moscow was forced to take Crimea into its defence because it was under threat.

There was no threat to Crimea in 2014. The Revolution of Dignity led to a change of power peacefully, through democratic elections. Russian ‘green men’ appeared in Crimea to destabilise the situation in Ukraine.

60% of Iowa GOP caucus goers believe that the election was stolen from Trump. But y'all wanna say "Ban TikTok because disinformation?" 🤡

Y'all are not serious.

The real, dangerous disinformation, is coming from traditional media channels and places like Twitter, and it is in service of white nationalism, and its primary victims are Black people. But we don't want to talk about that. We just want to yell "Ban TikTok!"

Hey All, just wondering if any of you have had experience with this:

My husband was feeling a little under the weather and took 4 Covid tests. The first one was negative, the second had a very faint line, and the second two were negative. I took two also, both of which were negative. I'm not really sure what to make of it. He works from home and everyone in the house has gotten every booster, obviously we are gonna stay put and test again tomorrow. Has anyone had this happen to them?
