Before invading Ukraine, Russia attempted to gain influence by buying off its politicians and infiltrating the government. Only after the Ukrainian people reclaimed their democracy and proved too resilient to corrupt did the Kremlin resort to launching its invasion and war of aggression.

OMG! 👑🔥👑🔥👑🔥 I've never been prouder of my Dutch ancestry than I am today. Netherlands Queen Máxima is the wife of King Willem-Alexander. She became queen consort upon his accession to the throne in 2013. Real Queens know when they are standing next to a fake, tacky, wannabe king. 👑 #Respect 🇳🇱

There are at least 2 foreign countries (Israel & India), the entire GOP, and Trump regime openly interfering with democracy in New York city. There is an active multinational op attacking Zohran Mamdani ( @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ) in an effort to smear and remove him from US politics.

Imagine a Democrat calling for the deportation of a Jewish Republican. You can’t. It would never happen. Our political and media elites talk nonstop about antisemitism while totally normalizing and amplifying the worst and most vicious Islamophobia. Sickening:

Jewish New Yorkers are just like other New Yorkers: we also want affordable housing & childcare, and excellent public transit, and for this city to be a place where we can build a future...That's what @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ran on, and that's why NYers—Jewish & non-Jewish alike—voted for him.

This is ridiculous. Especially if you recall that this "Daddy" abandoned his first 3 kids to run off with one of his mistresses. Then this "Daddy" abandoned his next child to run off with another mistress. The same "Daddy" who had sex with a porn actress when his last child was 4 months old.

The greatest threat posed by Zohran Mamdani ( @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ) is his potential to disrupt ongoing real estate money laundering schemes tied to Trump and Israel in NYC. Trump has a history of dealings with organized crime, including those now dominated by the Israeli-Russian mob.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

Sure, we have had senior Cabinet officials who seethed about this story or that from time to time that they felt was unfair. But we’ve never had a Secretary of Defense who spends every single day so completely consumed by media coverage to the point where he can’t even function.
