Putin “is scrambling to respond” to intensifying “Ukrainian drone attacks reaching ever deeper into Russia, hitting key arms production facilities, destroying an ever-greater share of oil-refining capacity, and causing fuel shortages across the country.” trib.al/DZOfJ8J

the 40-day operation keeps moving forward… 💥🚗 zelensky confirmed on sunday that ukraines drone fleet successfully struck two russian oil refineries overnight – one in krasnodar (300 km away) and one in jaroslavl, a whopping 700 km deep into russia. kiev is seriously tightening the squeeze on russias fuel supply, and these constant strikes are causing acute shortages with massive gas lines and rationing. in krasnodar, a major fire broke out at the slavyansk refinery, and in jaroslavl, just east of moscow, the governor panicked so much from the drones that they put temporary traffic restrictions on roads leading straight into the capital!! when the war gets this close to moscow and the gas stations run dry, no amount of state tv propaganda can save the facade. things are breaking down… just a thought.

❗️Putin admitted problems in the Russian fuel industry:
“You know well that problems both for vehicle drivers and business remain.
And, unfortunately, there are also lines at gas stations. You can’t always find the type of fuel you need.
And, of course, we understand the difficulties that agricultural workers and farmers face.
In the interests of domestic consumers, a temporary total ban on gasoline and jet fuel exports has been imposed. The need for a total ban on diesel fuel exports is also being considered.”

Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en)Russians are getting ideas that the fuel shortage in Russia is somehow related to Putin’s “special military operation.”

While Pride is a time for celebration, it is also an opportunity for reflection. Today’s video scrapbook of photos wraps up our month-long tribute to the boys that came before us – those that lived in the shadow of a disapproving and hostile society when the danger of being exposed as gay forced them to live double lives in absolute secrecy. Let us never forget:
Until the late 20th century, the medical establishment universally considered being gay a mental illness.
Police forces routinely targeted gay bars, undercover officers frequently engaged in entrapment, and newspapers often published the names, addresses, and the place of employment for those arrested.
Homosexual acts were routinely prosecuted under “sodomy” or “gross indecency” laws and often resulted in being registered as a sex offender.
The U.S. government and military viewed homosexuality as a national security threat.
Many countries, including the USA, legally barred homosexual immigrants from entering their country.
Gay victims of domestic violence, assault, or theft had zero recourse to the legal system, as contacting the police meant admitting to an illegal lifestyle.
Before modern non-discrimination laws, it was entirely legal for private employers to fire someone simply for being gay and for landlords to evict suspected gay tenants.
And gay parents routinely lost custody of their children in divorce proceedings, as the courts viewed homosexuality as immoral and unfit for child-rearing.
But as the courageous men depicted in our video scrapbooks – The Ragtime Years (6/7), The War Years (6/14), Couples (6/21), and Couples Vol. 2 (available today, 6/28) – prove,
Love will always find a way 🏳️🌈
