Three of my neighbors put Ukrainian flags out this week. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Savannah, Georgia. 🥰

Yes! Malicious compliance or intentionally ignorant beauracracy.

🤯🙌🏼 Phenomenal GA Constituent! Pls share! "Tyranny is rising in the White House. A man has declared himself our king. The people would like to know what you, Congressman, are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the WH." Americans need to wake up & inject this indignation into their veins!

Maine Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump in a room full of reporters. Officials must keep showing people Trump is a weak tyrant. We need to show defiance collectively, because like all bullies, with pushback he will snap & break. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Media & Academic Propaganda is SHOCKING & no one’s allowed to talk about it | Matt Kennard open.substack.com/pub/bettbeat...

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Trump's just a business man, after the money. He wants Ukraine to hand over half of its profits, in perpetuity, from the rare earth that's plentiful in the country. Possibly to bribe Putin with. If this means throwing Zelenskyy under a bus, that's fine by him.

Current American foreign policy is about draining power from the US and its allies, thereby creating atmospherics in which Donald Trump feels good and Elon Musk converts lost state capacity into personal profit. The weakness, in other words, is the point. snyder.substack.com/p/affirmativ...

Trump likes being #2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss. Musk will dominate him at home and Putin will dominate him abroad. He will deliver their lines, as he has just done for Putin in shocking fashion, and does for Musk every day.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

We've collected our articles and videos to help you understand why Zelensky's legitimacy is being questioned and how that plays into Russia's hands.

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

François Heisbourg, one of the world’s leading strategists and a cool head:

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social Trump demands half of Ukraine's mineral rights in perpetuity to repay the US for what it's spent on Ukraine's defence. "the US is telling Ukraine to concede its resources to the US...American aid will be otherwise withdrawn, and those resources will be taken by Russia".

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Germans have been subjected to covert Russian propaganda as well as overt American propaganda - jointly in support of the far-right www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

At least one person has died and two police officers have been seriously injured in a stabbing incident in eastern France, according to local media reports, with the alleged perpetrator taken into police custody.

Making some delightful Friday night music with Dirck van Baburen of Utrecht in 1623. Today was his day.

He nails it.

The fight back's starting pretty well. Eventually the USA will remember it narrowly managed to elect a felon.

Oh Canada, eh?

Starlink should be banned from low earth orbit too, for half a dozen good reasons.

"Judeo-Christian values" as shown strongly recently by the so-called Jewish state of Israel, literally fuelled by full use of ex-President Christian Zionist Biden's vast quantity of bombs? One Judeo-Christian thing that's forgotten is "Thou shalt not kill". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Yes, Trump's giving Putin everything Putin wants, simply so he can boast he's made the deal of the century. He's actually getting vast quantities of Ukraine's rare earths, worth billions, to pay for all the USA expenditure on the country. A businessman, is all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Russian cargo ship Pavel Grobovsky transporting 3,000 tons of stolen Ukrainian corn to Turkey is sinking in the Azov Sea following a breach.

Russian fascists have now been torturing and raping Ukrainian women for years. Good job by the cowards of the West. www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

While the United States spent less than $100 billion in military, economic, and humanitarian support for Ukraine over 3 years, US arms sales across the globe have skyrocketed directly as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an increase of $300 billion just in 2023/2024.

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

The Department of Justice has just DELETED its four-year-old webpage on the US Capitol riot investigations.

Isn't action like this defined as dictatorship? I know it's not quite being sent to the Gulag, but that's possibly down the line.
