🧵 In today's Voting Rights Act ruling, the Supreme Court has fundamentally reshaped how courts apply Section 2 to voting maps, especially in relation to politics, making future Section 2 lawsuits extremely difficult to win.
1. For the first time ever, the Court holds that compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act can be a compelling interest to use race, but only when properly construed.
2. The Court holds that a minority voter is entitled to nothing more than equal opportunity, not equal outcome.
Cuando se habla de ciencia y tecnología en el Imperio español suele hacerse desde el tópico o desde la negación. Pero basta descender al terreno histórico concreto para encontrar figuras como Juan Francisco Rojas, una figura tan interesante como desconocida que merece un hilo:
Rojas no fue un «sabio» en el sentido académico, ni un teórico aislado. Fue alguacil mayor de la Real Audiencia de Santo Domingo. Es decir, era un funcionario inserto en la maquinaria política del Imperio, que operaba en un contexto político, científico y técnico muy preciso.
Será en 1594 cuando presente en Méjico su «Memoria sobre invenciones aplicables a la minería» ante la oficina de privilegios y patentes. Un dato clave, pues muestra que en el Imperio existía todo un sistema institucional que reconocía, regulaba y protegía la innovación técnica.
@franceinfo Et voilà nos, médias et les lèches-cul en commentaires lobotomisés suite à +70ans de "British loving") encore en extase face aux British représentés ici par le petit "Charles III" (qui pourtant insulte la France & l'Histoire) ! 1/n
@franceinfo Extase en voyant des pics contre Trump ("on" se rassure comme on peu : "on" garde les oeillères), alors qu'il y a ici, 2 non méritants, "fils papa/maman", dont un ordinaire opportuniste British et un inculte Américain. 2/n
@franceinfo Un ordinaire opportuniste British profitant du "French Bashing" ambiant & de l'inculture de l'autre sur la nature & l'existence même de son pays & des Américains, pour ainsi faire du revisionnisme Historique à leur avantage (Impérialisme anglosaxon). 3/n
Today the Supreme Court hears a case that will decide the fate of over 350,000 people currently living legally in the United States — and impact thousands more who are still in limbo.
So what is Temporary Protected Status and what is the case about? NEW 🧵 on the issue.
Temporary Protected Status was created to deal with the fact that sometimes, due to an outbreak of war, political crisis, or natural disaster, deportation becomes inhumane.
Without a law to address this, presidents responded on an ad hoc basis using inherent executive authority.
Before TPS, Presidents used a thing called "extended voluntary departure" to address these crisis. For example:
- Ford gave EVD to Lebanese in 1976 due to civil war
- Carter gave EVD to Ugandans in 1978 due to civil war
- Reagan gave EVD to Poles in 1981 due to Soviet crackdowns
Okay, it's been 3 months since I took the plunge into Claude Code and 2 months since I created Claude Blattman to help other non-coding, non-technical, forever-behind people like myself learn how to use these tools. This is a
Here's what I've developed and created since then. 🧵
Here is translated text from Al Ta about the situation in Ukraine. He is a Russian propagandist, a soviet anti-Putinist who views reviving the full Soviet Union (including Poland) as the primary number one goal of this war. He's also pretty honest about the situation. Its long. (racial slurs and whatnot are removed btw)
Preservation of one’s own forces and resources (including manpower).
On paper, everything looks neat and classical: we strike the enemy at its foundations and core, while we ourselves conserve strength and wait for the right moment for a decisive blow. But in reality, everything is both simpler and more complicated at the same time.
If you think through the basic principles of a classical war of attrition, then at the initial stage, when the enemy’s potential is being destroyed, when strikes are delivered against its economy, communications, and supply routes for raw materials and weapons, the side that holds the initiative should remain on the defensive, abandoning unimportant territories and максимально protecting its soldiers. This attrition is carried out through the remote destruction of the enemy’s potential.
Strictly speaking, the correct strategy in such a war should include:
1. Readiness for total and continuous mobilization.
We remember that this kind of war is one of mobilizing all the strength of the people. Total mobilization is necessary to achieve a manpower advantage, which should allow final military actions to be carried out quickly once the enemy’s ability to resist is completely broken. In addition, prolonged combat, even in a well-organized defense, still leads to losses, which are unavoidable. Therefore, there is a constant need to replenish the front with personnel.
2. Readiness for total destruction and the deaths of the enemy’s civilian population (and your own, if the enemy is not weaker than you).
It is extremely difficult, more likely impossible, to “delicately” destroy a country’s economic foundation. Therefore, a country that begins such a war must be prepared to act decisively and harshly. This is the price of survival.
3. Defense as the foundation of the first phase of such a war.
Preserving soldiers’ lives is the key to a future victorious offensive. It is physically impossible to conserve personnel while conducting offensive operations. Many are familiar with the standard ratios required for an attacking force to outnumber a defending one. Even taking into account more advanced and destructive weapons, the need for such a ratio remains, it will never be 1:1. In essence, the main function of troops (infantry supported by tanks, artillery, and aviation) in such a war is to occupy territories where the enemy can no longer resist. Frontal or stubborn assaults are not characteristic of a war of attrition.
4. Seizing territory in the initial and main stages of such a war is not the primary objective.
Territory should be taken either after the course of the war has been turned and the enemy’s ability to resist has been broken, or through the imposition of postwar conditions.
5. Emphasis on firepower.
The enemy should be subjected to an overwhelming barrage of destructive force using every possible means. Everything available should be directed at the target. Naturally, this places emphasis on highly destructive weapons: artillery and aviation. The nature of the current war has also added UAVs (unmanned systems). We already see strike systems in the air and at sea, and soon ground systems will be added.
The goal is to inflict unacceptable losses on the enemy before you yourself suffer unacceptable losses. If you like, it resembles a boxing match: both sides exchange blows, but in the end the stronger one wins. At the same time, for every artillery shot fired at you, ten should be fired in return; for every drone launched, ten drones should respond. Only this way.
Yet, for example, by the results of March 2026, “so-called Ukraine” surpassed us in the number of drones launched at our territory.
Each of you can compare these principles with what is actually happening at the front. After all, “we haven’t even started yet,” if some leaders are to be believed.
We just found out 1 of Biden’s closest aides as VP, who later joined a Washington-based firm founded by an exec with ties to the CCP AND did deals with Biden’s son Hunter — visited the White House at least 7 times over a 2 year period
Why did the Biden’s have such an intimate connection with people in China and/or folks in America who did business in China? 👀
The Iran oil story we are missing: this isn’t just about sanctions and the blockade cutting exports and shut in oil wells.
1/ The regime spent over $100 billion directly on a nuclear program that generates 2% of Iran’s electricity. That money was drained from National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), the same company whose workers earn ~$80–140/month against Iran’s own official poverty line of ~$227/month. The people responsible for maintaining the most critical infrastructure in the country can’t afford to live on their salaries. The infrastructure reflects it.
2/9 Bushehr nuclear plant cost $10–11 billion to build, five to ten times over its original budget. It generates 1,000 megawatts. Iran’s current electricity shortfall alone is 25,000 megawatts, meaning you’d need 25 more Bushehrs just to close the gap that already exists. Beyond Bushehr, the broader nuclear program has cost Iran $2–3 trillion in lost economic opportunity through sanctions and isolation. For context: Iran’s own Oil Ministry says it needs $170–180 billion to restore oil production capacity. The money existed.
3/9 Now the oil sector. Start with South Pars. It produces ~70–80% of all Iranian gas. That same gas gets reinjected into aging oil fields to maintain reservoir pressure and keep them producing. In March 2026, strikes damaged five South Pars phases, cutting condensate output by 100,000–120,000 b/d for at least six months. One field hit but leading to two cascading failures simultaneously.
You’re not here by accident, maybe Allah wants you to read these 5 du’as for financial relief and freedom from debt
The Prophetﷺ himself made these.
And he never left them.
1. Du'a for Relief from Debt & Financial Pressure

"O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety, sorrow, weakness, laziness, cowardice, stinginess, the burden of debt, and being overpowered by others." (Sahih al-Bukhari 6369)
2. Du'a for Protection from Poverty & Humiliation
Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika minal-faqr, wal-qillah, wadh-dhillah, wa a'ūdhu bika an azlima aw uzlam
"O Allah, I seek refuge in You from poverty, lack, and humiliation and I seek refuge in You from wronging others or being wronged." (Sunan Abi Dawud 1544)

Don't have to believe me, just go and see for yourself. If you visit #UttarparaPalace which is now Uttarpara General Hospital, on the ground floor next to the MOs office there is a room that is locked. It's been kept locked since 1952 when the government confiscated all 1/n
2/n 16 palace from us illegally. Thanks to Nehru & BC Roy conspiring against us. Before handing Uttarpara Rajbari to the government, my grandfather told the authorities NEVER 2 open that particular room. In the 1st Mahal, inside the thakur dalan (whatever it is called in English)
3/n there were 4 large temples 1) Narayan 2) Durga 3) Shiva 4) Ganesh
That particular room was Narayan Temple where our Kuldevta, the 1100 yrs old Sridhar Narayan Sila was being worshipped. Krittibash, Maa Sharada & Omkar Nath Thakur meditated on it. My father told me that......
The most powerful banker in America just said something at a polite Norwegian conference that most CEOs will not say out loud.
“There will be some kind of bond crisis.”
Jamie Dimon is not given to drama. That makes the sentence heavier, not lighter.
A thread on what he said, and what it means for India 🧵
Dimon named the ingredients.
Geopolitics. Oil. Government deficits.
His point was not that any single one of them breaks the market. His point is they are all stacking at the same time, and we do not get to choose which combination becomes the trigger.
“They may go away, but they may not.”
The precedent he reached for is recent.
UK gilts, September 2022. Liz Truss announced a mini-budget on a Friday. By the following Wednesday the gilt market had broken down so badly that the Bank of England had to step in as buyer of last resort to stop pension funds from collapsing.
