This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Wise man…

Fresh from flattering Trump & the MAGA fascists in Washington last week, Nigel Farage is coming to #Cornwall in search of money & votes. Farage has done nothing but harm to Cornwall & now means to do more. Cornwall Green Party is calling out the con. cornwall.greenparty.org.uk/farage-is-in...

Associated Press sues White House over ban from Oval Office and Air Force One www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

This is really something

"Trump may have been involved in an unparalleled and inexplicable pact with the US government to remain above the law, one that was likely buffered by criminal actors and hostile foreign states." On his missing taxes, from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT: bookshop.org/p/books/hidi...

"Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this." -- email from Felix Sater to Michael Cohen about Donald Trump in 2015 -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020) hidinginplainsightbook.com

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

*looks hard for a redeeming quality - any redeeming quality* Nope…

Despicable. Elon Musk has just suggested Zelenskyy is sending soldiers to die so he can make money. “What are they dying for? I’ll tell you what for. For the biggest graft machine I’ve seen in my life. Poor guys are getting sent into a meat grinder for money.”

As a humanitarian aid worker, 28-year-old Edward Scott has made multiple trips to the front-line areas to evacuate civilian Ukrainians. But the mission on Jan. 30 to the embattled city of Pokrovsk in southern Donetsk Oblast was different.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Every. Single. Word. (And the rest of the book too, obvs).

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

‘Othering’. Just one of 7 steps. Ece knows…

Illinois Governor, JB Pritzker, with an empowering and emotional speech. "The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here. They point to a group of people who don't look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems"

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

Unapologetically. ✊🇪🇺

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Dark Pence is back.

Blimey - the most aggressively right wing and hateful network in the UK being funded by Marks and Spencer!

GB News actually aired commentary likening "the LGBT flag" to Nazi imagery (content warning) Is this really a channel that M&S are comfortable to align with? You can take action by leaving a comment on the M&S Facebook page asking them to #StopFundingHate www.facebook.com/MarksandSpen...

Has anyone of consequence, on the Democrat side, said anything on the Ukraine situation? If they have, I haven't heard it and that silence is deafening. At the very moment when the world needs the US to have strong political opposition, the DEMs seem to have opted for self-imposed exile.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

I don't see Trump demanding elections in Russia. ...ironically one year, almost to the day, after Alexei Navalny's murder.

Rachel Reeves is an intermediary for the corporate coup. Starmer has announced to 700 lobbyists that they can now enjoy corporate governance powers while the Labour Party takes a secondary position.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about peace just plundering the natural resources of bombed, raped and pillaged lands. He’s a common thief stealing from corpses in the wreckage whilst siding with the perpetrator and there’s not enough words in the English language to describe how much I hate the bastard.

I believe he is a danger to our nation, a threat to our safety, careless with our people, and reckless with his power. I believe America is less secure, less diverse, less compassionate, and less decent under his leadership. I will not obey him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-do-not-o...
