Russia set fire to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra overnight—the monastery where Yuriy Dolgorukiy, the prince who founded Moscow, lies buried.
A UNESCO site older than Moscow itself, now burning.

THIS FEELS LIKE THEY’RE TESTING US
Trump and Republicans spent years screaming voter fraud with zero proof, tried to overturn the 2020 election, raided Fulton County and their new lies about California’s elections.
Now they’re raiding a voting-rights group in Ohio.
Buckle up: Midterms are coming!
⚡️ Russia struck one of the churches of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, causing a fire.

Last week, UK MP Jess Asato sued xAI after Grok generated sexualized images of her.
This isn't a one-off. In January, we found that Grok generated an estimated 3 MILLION sexualized images over just 11 days.
This is the predictable result of unregulated AI platforms. We need accountability now👇
