Post-WWI reparations are often credited with Hitler's rise. Fear of communism gave us Mussolini. What reasons will future historians give for the rise of '20s American fascism? Unbounded immigration? Social media / echo chambers? FOX&Friends? Overseas manufacturing? Willful ignorance? Wealth gaps?

I, for one, welcome the coming era of self-sufficiency. Trump is bringing steel production back to the USA! Soon, every home will have a steel furnace in its backyard. Americans will be doing their own farming and picking their own crops! After all, China did it in 1958, and just look at them now!

The real reason they chose to use Signal instead of the appropriate official channels, is the same reason they turned on disappearing messages. They didn’t want to leave a legally required record. What are they hiding in the other Signal groups?

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

With the focus on the U.S. abandoning Ukraine & Europe, the shitshow happening in Africa is being overlooked. With AFRICOM being butchered & U.S. intelligence being ordered to ignore Russian activity on the continent, Trump is in the process of handing Africa over to Russia.

I checked. The account is indeed suspended. Fuck Elon.

Better yet, redirect US requests for straight content to the gay section.

A scenario: -Russia accepts ceasefire -Russia then breaks it and blames Ukraine -Trump sides with Russia, accuses Ukraine of killing his ‘peace plan’ and stops aid again, this time for good Europe better prepare for this scenario.

Please note that rogue countries, like China, actively monitor and harass dissidents here. This is a trial balloon. If this is OK, there is nothing stopping the Trump admin from handing over “troublemakers” to countries who are “willing to make a deal”

By continuing to defend itself against Trump's tariffs, Canada's woke government has shown it doesn't really want peace. With no cards, Trudeau will have no one to blame but himself if he forces the US to invade. He should make a deal and cede land now while he still can.

My friends, I have an urgent request—one of the most important I’ve ever had. Please repost and donate. Right now, the western flank in Kursk is under immense pressure. Russia is doubling down to ensure we don’t keep the Kursk card on the table (1/5) donation link: www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

When the Kremlin hails the Trump administration for "rapidly changing [US] foreign policy configurations" and says the White House now "largely coincides with our vision," think about what Trump’s team are cozying up to. Watch our FT documentary about Russia's executions of Ukrainian POWs👇
