🕯️ These children were killed by Russia…

3yo Tymofiy 7yo Radyslav 7yo Arina 9yo Herman 15yo Danylo 15yo Mykyta 15yo Alina 16yo Kostiantyn 17yo Nikita President Zelenskyi published the names of kids, innocent victims of the russian terror attack against Kryvyi Rih residential district yesterday. Never forgive. Never forget.

This will end with kids dying and being left damaged and disabled for life by diseases basic science has cured. RFK Jr will be gone sooner or later (ideally sooner) but nothing will bring those kids back or repair the damage done to their families.

This is what fascism looks like, folks

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.

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

Reminder:   Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine held 200 talks with russia, reaching 20 cease-fire agreements.   Russia violated all of these, leading to Putin's invasion in 2022.   Those advocating for negotiations are either uninformed, misled or aligned with russia.

Remember when people used to say the warnings about Trump were alarmist? He’s now explicitly saying US citizens who damage private property that’s linked to one of his oligarch cronies will be sent to prisons in El Salvador.

The fact that the Trump/Musk DOJ — without due process & in defiance of federal courts — snatches people up, puts them on planes, and deports them to an authoritarian country where those people will be forced into slave labor in an inhumane prison should be a much bigger story.

Oryx 👀🇺🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺

Just to put this in context, it would be five times the number who died in the Rwandan genocide, and about twice as many people as were killed over four years by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. It would only be surpassed in modern history by the Great Leap Forward and the Holocaust.

None of these crimes will stop if Russia manages to formally keep the occupied territories. On the contrary, they will escalate. Because they are not the product of the war per se but of Russia’s objective of erasing the Ukrainian nation as Ukrainians define it and imposing a ru-defined Ukr identity

🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America. They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.

"Normally, we treat each bullet point as a separate story. But they are all connected. We are witnessing an extraordinarily broad chilling effect in American society." Look at the length of these lists - this effort to intimidate and silence opposition is a key part of Trump II's authoritarianism.

A lot of what appeals to Trumpists about the sudden abandonment of Europe, Ukraine, Canada and Mexico is the emotional trauma it is causing. They're turning what was perhaps an imbalanced relationship into an abusive one. The cruelty is the point, and the shock and pain expressed is the pleasure.

I’ve heard from a solid source that medical supplies from US to frontline medics in Ukraine are being withheld through USAID and military logistics. If true this is absolutely unacceptable.

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

Absolutely astounding corruption.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.
