'There was a report in September 2022 by the #Bulgarian National Security Agency, and it directly accused #Russia of increasing its #intelligence activities in #Bulgaria.

🧵I know I mostly toot about #Ukraine here, but the #SCOTUS has got me annoyed. More than they usually irritate me. People in my generation (elder #millennial), #GenX'ers, and #Boomers, mostly grew up with a court that's legacy was in many ways progressive.
