"This is a vast project of enforced re-education by a colonial power that wants to wipe away history as though clearing a computer disk, and reprogram a population through barrages of propaganda at the barrel of a gun" From @peterpomerantsev.bsky.social, on occupied Ukraine econ.st/41CVD4d

This. Is. Insane.

Despite uncovering mass graves in de-occupied territories, with civilians clearly executed, towns reduced to ruins, mass kidnappings of children, widespread rape, looting, and so much more, the fact that the UN still does not call russian invasion a genocide is already a significant understatement.

Trump, The Great Negotiator, Sells Out Ukraine: Jonathan Pie with his acerbic and foul-mouthed take on Trump selling out Ukraine to Putin. And interestingly, although he manages to call the UK's Nigel Farage a c*cksucker at least a half dozen times and a shitstain on the face of humanity, Pie deems…

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

He nails it.

Nancy Mace is, among other things, just painfully stupid.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

U.S. Republican Senator Thom Tillis called Putin "a cancer&the greatest threat to democracy" in his lifetime: "So,when I tell that Putin is a liar,a murderer&a man responsible for ordering the systematic torture,kidnapping&rape of innocent civilians,believe me — because the evidence is mile high"

We should be horrified Trump used the same quote as a right-wing mass murderer: The 32-year-old Norwegian considered himself a deep thinker and a big fan of the rightwing and Russian propaganda which argued western civilization was rotting from within because of multiculturalism, empowered women,…

Read the real stories about what USAID cuts mean, not the Musk propaganda www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

This is Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine. He is Jewish. His grandfather fought Nazis in WW2. Many of his relatives were killed in the Holocaust. He is standing up to a dictator. Because he is brave. Because he knows what happens if you don't.

I think anyone who hates the DOGE team shouldn’t get the $5000! 😆 🤣 😂

Well, turns out there’s another layer to his dubious background. According to independent journalist Jacob Silverman, Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov, a former KGB spy. Per Silverman’s research, Martynov was an officer in the technical espionage division… gizmodo.com/doge-staffer...

Abuse of power is disgusting. This cruel rapist must be removed from power or we’re all fucked. Even maga. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone now that he’s consolidated power for nefarious ways.

Why is the Trump administration encouraging foreign interference in US politics?

"Just give us our nukes back" kind of a mood 😒

This evening, I’m voting in an advance poll. I’m doing my part to get rid of Doug Ford in Ontario. Exercise your right to vote. I don’t want to hear anyone complain about the government if they couldn’t be bothered to vote.

Ummm…👇 The more you know…💫

1/4 Trump is planning to attend ruZZia’s 'Victory Day' on May 9th, marking the first visit by a U.S. president since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. No surprise, his loyalty clearly lies with Putin, not America. Reported by French news magazine Le Point.

Perhaps the most shameful aspect of this moment in our country's history is the sheer cowardice of the GOP 👇 Read more here: bit.ly/41pxP3k #TraitorTrump

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

As suspected, Gitmo was all for show and an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed
