I've been debanked more than 130 times.
Currently, I'm traveling through Europe, trying to open new bank accounts. They do this on purpose because they know it costs me a lot of time and energy.

But I want to thank everybody who's supporting me with crypto, which is the only reason why I'm still able to do all my activism and pay my bills.

I don't know who you are, but I want to say it really matters. Thank you

Everyone always talks about how chaotic the frontline is, and what is called the "death of the conventional frontline" in Ukraine, but I thought I should make a visualisation to show you all what that might actually look like.

This is a map showing my view of where each side may hypothetically be holding a position in the Kostyantynivka direction, to give you an idea of how deep this "infiltration zone" goes.

When someone asks "why cant you just map all of Kostyantynivka as under Russian control if the Ukrainian positions there aren't militarily significant anymore", this is what I mean when I say Ukraine still holds too large of a presence. Obviously this map isn't designed to show exact areas where positions are held, but it's based on my interpretation of what the situation could theoretically look like.

I also think this visualisation gives a good idea of the criteria I have for what should be considered a "control zone, a "grey-zone", and an "infiltration zone".

Zelensky claims that the U.S. failed to warn Ukraine of the ballistic missile attack last night.

This doesn't appear to be true.

Not only did Ukraine receive advance warning of the attack up to 24 hours beforehand, but Ukrainian SBU-affiliated channels reported that western satellites alerted Ukraine of the ballistic threat when launcher activity was detected in Bryansk Oblast, noting that the warnings "are coming in time".
