Did you all see what @BackAndAlive's Black Box fundraiser did? They raised 230 million UAH (6.4m USD) for Beaver drones to strike ru offensive military capabilities, that's what they did.
It's quality bavovna, and it's the most cost-effective way to save lives.
"This is Kolibri. He is a special forces officer of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine..."
"The 'Black Box' contains, most notably, the Ukrainian bombardment drone 'Beaver', which has a range of up to 800 km. And this is just one of the components of the 'Box'."
For $6.4 million in donations, we get $900 million USD in damage to russia's war machine, and so many lives and cities saved.
"In the first 8 months of 2023, the Black Box caused more than $900 million in damage to the enemy, according to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. 'Beaver' successfully performed missions in Crimea, in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine..."
"...and at military facilities on enemy territory. For example, it hit an important enterprise of the enemy’s military-industrial complex – a plant for the production of electronics for missiles such as X-31, X-35 and X-59, which are launched from tactical aircraft."
"[It] also hit a storage facility where Russians stored missile parts for Iskander ballistic missile systems."
You can quantify damage to missile factories.
You can't fully quantify the lives it's saved to destroy the weapons of the aggressor.
Shouts out to @CorwinEternal for the quality visual. 😂
@CorwinEternal "Last year... Ukrainian society – citizens and businesses, including PLVision, EVA, Intellias, COMFY, Sombra, Uptech, MTI hi-tech distribution, Uklon, ELEKS, and others – joined the collection for the Black Box project."
Follow their lead. @BackAndAlive is in 🇺🇦's top tier.
Check out @EuromaidanPress's fine write-up on the project! 🔥🔥🔥
Nobody's more serious about saving Ukrainian lives than Ukrainians. These volunteer orgs are setting the bar. Let's help them, and let's take their cues.
True the Vote's lists, handed to "voter vigilantes", got 4.8 million votes wrongfully purged, 3.6M of which were 🟦. Kamala won by 1.2M popular votes, 286 EC.
2026's violations are only the latest round of the Trump-Epstein power grab.
Trump pushing to "nationalize elections", DOGE stealing data, Noem trying to extort Minnesota's voter rolls with ICE violence is all a part of it.
So were russian bomb threats to swing state polling.
This is unusually well-proven.
Since this was written, Greg Palast's team published more details; they used US Elections Assistance Commission data, reviewed by volunteers from USPS+Amazon w/ 1800 datapoints to confirm living, registered voters. gregpalast.com/trump-lost-vot…
"With this latest document drop, it's clear that the terminally online outsider eco-system was not invisible to elite eyes. The wall between the system and the counter-system is far more porous than the mythology allows."

Cy's commentary is must-hear. If we're not actively making sure our evidence is clear and we're helping the right people, we're passive before an actively co-opting system.
Have I linked often enough to this clear forensic timeline of how quickly russian disinfo sites targeting westerners amplified QAnon in near synchrony? Hell no.
QAnon buried a nugget of truth inside a huge deflecting, destructive russian-backed psy-op.
That "spy dossier" supposedly from Ukraine that Mriya Aid used to attack a journalist, David Pugliese, who called them out early? It never existed.
MA faked "evidence" he was a russian agent, and went after other critics with threats of SA+violence.
Sound familiar?!? 🇺🇦🧵👇
Disclaimer: years of sifting through this, and you'll find selfish actors, suspicious ones, and genuine supporters of Ukraine caught in the middle.
I admire Canada, and volunteers who've proven true allies of Ukraine despite this chaos. Let those who caused this own it.
"After [David's] damning article, Mriya+bots spread rumors that he was a ru/Soviet spy.
The jist: 'Don't read that report about deliveries of Chinese knock-off night-vision goggles instead of ones they fundraised for - the author's a ru spy!'"
"Guys, is there really a unit called the Georgian Legion? Did that Mamuka guy ever actually fight anywhere? What the hell is this—millions of dollars from Westerners going to some cunning jerk again?"
