Shelling the evacuation center of operations saving victims of the flood from the blown up dam.
While western media, international organisations, and many governments won't say Russia blew it up -- despite the boasts of the Russian soldiers who did it.

Superb analysis from Prof. @samagreene in this long thread of the new messaging from Russia tonight.
RT @samagreene: As Russia's propagandist-in-chief Margarita Simonyan broaches the idea of ending the war, ostensibly because Ukraine is getting too strong to counter without an attack on the West itself, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on how Russian propaganda works.

Russia bombs school where flood evacuees were sheltering after Zelenskyy visits Kherson.

With Chris Christie entering the GOP primary race as the only serious candidate to call out the former guy, Republican backers and supporters can recycle Barry Goldwater's 1964 slogan. "A choice, not an echo"
Not that many here would remember it. I was 9 years old at the time.😇

I guess we’ll see if a republican can take trump on directly. If he can’t, the GOP is over.
RT @GovChristie: I’m the only candidate who can take on Donald Trump and tell the truth.
Every other Republican thinks they can tiptoe around him. I don’t tiptoe.

Think of all the Russian terrorists who will spend their lives on the run. This Hutu genocide financier was caught after 26 years.
If by then they're unfit to stand trial, make sure to take away their money and social benefits so they live "unfit to stand trial" in poverty.

Given what we have seen them do in Ukraine, the Russian justice system at home should surprise no one.
