The Atlanta Journal Constitution laid out some of the findings on Romain's group and their work with a Kremlin-linked official named Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov in a recent report.

From the AJC:

Romain left the group in 2018 and returned to Atlanta to form the Black Hammer Party, which they used to conduct often outlandish protests around the city, including an anti-vaccine protest outside the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the COVID-19 epidemic, and a demonstration with members of the far-right Proud Boys in front of the CNN Center. FBI investigators said Ionov funded a number of Black Hammer activities, including a demonstration at the California headquarters of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, in March 2022 over its policies regarding content about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Justice Department said that in addition to protesting Meta on Russia's dime, Romain posted Russian propaganda to social media at Ionov's direction and sought Ionov's input on a news release from their organization that condemned President Joe Biden's support for Ukraine.

The other co-conspirators in this case are expected to be sentenced next week.

Russian election interference status: defeated!

Singer said some typical supportive stuff that included the phrase: "They will never take trans joy away". Joyless seething ensues.

Who the frick cares about "trans joy" or how it's really scary for you heccin vxlid guys right now. We have fricking nobody and nothing. No hate to chapppell personally, I just hate this stupid bullshit that this class of person is circulating. So out of their depth here. And maybe I'm just harping on the easy target because I can't do anything about the real problem, but it's still annoying.

It's designed and screened to satisfy her dipshit audience, which has no relevance to our community's well being as they are insta warriors

I love trans joy it's so fricking valid girlie

I'm so glad I get to be a ! everyone hates me just for existing, I get to lose out on my childhood, end up infertile and hate myself forever. what joy!

couldn't be me. i hate her. she knows she has a huge platform and the safety net of being cis so she just parrots useless optimism. no one is looking out for us, especially not the fricking pop music industry

i do appreciate her for doing the bare minimum. but ngl she gets under my skin anyways. the whole divine feminine schtick and "doing drag but as a cis woman" irks me

More in the comments. Can't imagine why the trains are short on allies.

this has haunted me more than anything I've ever read on here

First, lets talk about science, you know, that thing you dismiss when it doesn't support your beef obsession. Yes, science is about possibilities, but its also about probabilities and overwhelming evidence. The link between excessive red meat consumption and health risks isn't some vague claim ,its backed by decades of research from harvard, WHO, and the american heart association, none of which were funded by the humble pea or chana lobby.Now, onto your 'beef is a perfect food' fairytale. Sure, beef is nutrient dense, but calling it a complete meal is like saying soda is perfect because it has water in it. A diet based solely on beef is not balanced, you are missing fiber, antioxidants, and a variety of phytonutrients essential for gut health. But hey, who needs a functioning microbiome, right?As for the B12 injections, you conveniently ignore the fact that NRIs have deficiencies due to processed diets, not just the absence of beef. Eggs, dairy, and fortified foods provide plenty o... (-4)

Still u can't process the facts that i just said! Beef is a complete meal for our body & with 1-2sides like vitamin c rich food etc... an avg indian gets more nutrition than they get from their normal so called balanced meal. WHO&American heart asso.has also published research papers abt veggies & other meats too... so look into it to get a full view & also u really missed the essence of that report. R u even a doctor cuz u have a narrow mind pov in viewing the research papers.Over consumption of any food is bad but who here said we need to overconsume beef? What is the % of Indians consuming processed beef/meat? Totally irrelevant points tbh! U still got my whole argument wrong cuz no research study has proven without doubt that red meat is bad! But what's a irrefutable fact is that channa, peas etc.. can't be fully digested by humans cuz we lack the enzymes to do so. I assume that u r basing ur arguments based on ur beliefs which itself refutes ur arguments. Also beef=meat of cow,... (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Cows are as native as we slaughter them and their meat. It is natural as we eat pork, chicken and dog meat. Cows are as natural food for us. If you have issues, go consult your tanatani. (1)

Again with tanatani , ricebag hurts you then why call others name . I am agnostic ,vegan btw . I don't give a fk u eat but stop with the insults narcissist. This sub isn't food culture sub make one , if u hate disagreements. (2)

!nooticers 6 million

GENEVA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday.

Although a waiver was placed on HIV/AIDS programmes in last month's U.S. foreign aid funding freeze, many concerns remained about the future of treatment programmes, the deputy executive director of UNAIDS told reporters in Geneva.

"There is a lot of confusion especially on the community level, how the waiver will be implemented. We're seeing a lot of disruption of delivery of treatment services", Christine Stegling said.

Trump put hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of foreign aid donations on hold for 90 days upon taking office on January 20. In the following days, the U.S. State Department issued a waiver on the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the world's leading HIV initiative - for life-saving humanitarian assistance.

While welcoming the waiver, Stegling stressed the situation remains chaotic.

Amid a broader decline of funding, Stegling warned there would be a 400% increase in AIDS deaths if PEPFAR financial support is not re-authorized between 2025 and 2029.

"That's 6.3 million people, 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths that will occur in future...Any penny, any cut, any pause, will matter for all of us" she said, urging U.N. member states to step in.

"In Ethiopia, we have 5,000 public health worker contracts that are funded by U.S. assistance. And all of these have been terminated," Stegling said.

She highlighted that community clinics were facing the biggest interruption as they are "entirely dependent" on U.S. government funding.

She expressed concern that some people may not come forward for treatment, which could in turn increase new HIV infections.

U.S. donations account for the majority of global funding for the U.N. programme that operates in 70 countries, leading global efforts to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

Trump's administration says it is reviewing all foreign-aid programmes to see if they align with his "America First" policy.

Hope Walz, Gov. Tim Walz's daughter, says Joe Rogan fandom is "red flag" in her dating "litmus test"

MINNEAPOLIS — Hope Walz, daughter of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, took to social media to take a swipe at influential podcaster Joe Rogan and the men among his fanbase after the host cited the former Democratic vice presidential candidate's misstatements about his past for his backing of President-elect Donald Trump.

In a video posted this weekend to her nearly 190,000 TikTok followers, the 23-year-old said a dating "litmus test" for her and her friends is whether "the guy we're talking to follows Joe Rogan on Instagram," adding that's a "red flag and we should probably stop talking to them."

"It's literally never failed us. And at this point, it's like the first thing we do when someone starts talking to a new person. If they follow [Rogan], we're like, yeah, this person probably isn't a great person, probably our values don't align. So we're gonna move on from that," Hope Walz said.

She also labeled Rogan, 57, as "questionable and unprofessional."

"I don't know how you have the largest podcast in the world and are able to just lie and put out misinformation and straight-up lies on your platform," she said.

I tried to upload the video but it seems to get cut off at the end

Comments on Reddit, especially /r/minnesota, are what you'd expect

I' found some really spicy takes though

"Why would you let a politician on and not interupt them?!"

Already trying to rewrite history. Joe will travel to go on other shows. Not host someone on his. He gave K-Dawg the opportunity before Trump when she was campaigning in the state. The progressives in her camp told her "ICK" and she ghosted him. Then it got leaked to her campaign the Drumf was going on and she got on her hands and knees like a dog and begged Joe to come to her so they could do a "1 hour max" show. Also a list of things they couldn't talk about.

You must really suck if your whole family likes funny ape man they listen to on the talking box instead of you.

Reading the 1 upsoren to negative gives some real funnahs

Hope everyone is having a Happy @WootFatigue Birthgay!

!asians

When I was about 9 years old this guy came to our school and showed us a slide show of pictures from this country that used to be Zaire back then, under the Mobutu regime. Some of them were of shops with the windows busted out and stuff. He explained that the army came and stole everything. I think to myself "WTF do you do when the army is stealing? You can't call the cops." That's the moment when baby Redactor started trying to understand this stuff.

Related situation in Korea today. I have no idea what the frick is going to happen here. Who do you call when the Secret Service is fighting the cops? Nobody wants to talk about this but it could be like boomer times (I mean "boomer" in the sense of me, the 1980s this time) where the army decides it. They refused to follow Yun's totally psycho order for martial law but after that the opposition went into full psycho mode too reminding everyone that they're all extremely corrupt, Communist, and probably from Jeolla-do. Seriouspost: My guess is that the army won't get involved but the threat of the army getting involved will get one side or the other to back down before it comes to that. And it probably won't be mentioned in the media because that would be embarrassing.

So what's gonna happen?

The ROK army is a conscript army. Every male in the nation is supposed to serve. (In practice these days half of them are draft dodgers, but that's not relevant here except it pisses me off.) If you're an r-slur (virtually certain since you're reading these words right now) you might think "conscript" is a bad thing. You're imagining hordes of ziggers charging through an open field because somebody said there's vodka on the other side. That's not what it's like. It's a normal part of growing up that everyone does. Everyone has done this since 1950s. Your dad did this. Your grandfather was in the war. The entire national identity is about the boy in the army and his mother caring about him. Forget the "Independence Fighters" and Yi Sun Sin and turtle ships and whatever. This is what Korea is about and the fact that some white guy is saying this so brazenly proves it must be true. What I'm trying to say is that the ROK Army basically embodies the nation of Korea. (Note that I've repeatedly said stuff to draw out any Korean lurkers to get pissed off at me and possibly share with us..)

Anyway there's a bunch of old generals making decisions now. They're constrained because if they give an illegal order, zoomer Korean troops will just frick off and play Starcraft. But the leftoids are basically trying to bite defeat out of the jaws of victory here. They're really really overplaying their hand, acting like the right-wing butthole being in trouble somehow makes people like the left-wing butthole. Incredibly stupid, but that's everything the Korean left has done my entire life.

Redactor prediction: I think something will happen this week. No idea which side. This is gonna be decided by a bunch of 60-year old ajussis in smoke-filled rooms playing 3-dimensional chess. That kind of thing is totally opaque to a person who is far from fluent in Korean.

Anyway, Korean bros and sisters I'll be praying for you.
