An excerpt from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020) summing up the current situation:

We've been here before; for example we're still arguing whether or not to honor the murderous cowardly traitors of the Southern Confederacy. And here we are now, again.

open.substack.com/pub/edhollet... We are under attack by the Americans but locally brewed beer owned by multinationals will be safe from competition. The rhetoric and the puny, parochial protectionism do not line up .

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Ako მაქაცარია 🇬🇪 🇺🇦 #Georgia #GeorgienProtests❤️‍🔥 @Akaking_ako Back to the protests, with the street doggos. I have been missing few protests, loosing my streek, but I'm getting back to it now. We must all do our part.

“Americans are being sold scraped bits of plagiarized humanity in their place. AI will never tell the truth too early: that's why authoritarians crave it. AI knocks out the inherently human power of subconscious pattern recognition. AI will never challenge authority. AI will never dream.”

After midnight in Kyiv. It is calm yet. I'm going to rest. Sharing with you a fresh photo of St Andrew’s Church. It is already a tradition to take a picture of it after the history class. Days are getting longer.

"It is easy, when you do not care about your country, when you do not see people as fellow human beings but as kindling on which to pour your rhetorical kerosene, to talk about secession. You win no matter what because your color is not red or blue but green, the color of money."

‘Many in the “opposition” prefer to profit off the threat rather than prevent it. The Vichy Dems’ heel turn is not new. You couldn’t see the heel because it was stepping on your face.’ -Sarah Kendzior as with so many of the things she’s written over the years, we need to learn this lesson. and act.

Georgia protestors continue to resist the corrupt pro-Kremlin government that stole their election, it's now day 64 and protests are stronger than ever.

🇬🇪🇪🇺 #GeorgiaProtests Day 64 ✊🔥

The showing of “Russians at War” by the Antenna Documentary Film Festival in Australia should be stopped. The representation of soldiers who have systemically raped, looted, tortured, burned, kidnapped and murdered their way through #Ukraine as ‘normal soldiers’ is untrue & Russian propaganda.

As I saw from the replies to the Sunday Letter, many of you liked this coat by Anastasiia Podervianska the most. So, I decided to show it from different angles here. If you haven't read the letter yet, you can find the link in the pinned post.

🏴 - Amidst discussion of the #Gaza ceasefire, 🔴attention must be brought to #Palestinian #ISIS leader Abu Ishaq al Maqdisi. Instead of fighting the Israelis, he decided to somehow slip undetected into northern Nigeria to kill Christians. He now occupies a senior role in--- He says: 1/2

Midnight in Kyiv. Air raid alert. Drones. Wind. Just another regular night in Ukraine. However, the wind is less regular.

All the unanswered questions...

Mes culpa, folks. I gotta say — I am in fact detecting some rizz from Mark Carney. I thought he was a rizzless nerd, but it appears I wasn’t familiar with his game. Or is Jon Stewart’s rizz so strong it rubbed off? Thoughts?? youtu.be/zs8St-fF0kE?...

We had a long air raid alert. All clear now. I want to show you a short video from the Landscape Alley I took yesterday. Yes, local artists sell their works here. Kyiv ❤️

I mean, it is kinda weird that 300 Liberal MPs want PM Trudeau to resign. You know, especially when when there’s only 153 of them. Almost like the Canadian Media is making shit up. Weird. #onted #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative #CdnMediaFail

Nika Gurini @nikagurini 1. Jan. The freedom-loving #Georgian people, who have amazed the world with their struggle for democracy and a #European future.We fight together,we celebrate together,we suffer together,and we will win together. Happy New Year from #GeorgiaProtests. #Georgia #Tbilisi

Family members of the unlawfully detained freedom fighters as well as a part of protesters gathered at the Gldani Prison for New Year’s too cheer our compatriots. They sang the national anthem too. #GeorgiaProtests #NewElectionsforGeorgia 📷 Inga Ghoghoberidze

🤯 Damascus, Syria tonight. 2025 will be the first year free of Assad tyranny since 1971 — more than half a century.

Just spent a scary amount of money on getting a proper podcast and YouTube set up. Terrifying but so exciting!! I hope this gamble pays off. Here we go, 2025. Let’s do this!!

In 2025, the West must not rush to force #Ukraine into an unjust peace with a brutal regime that began an unnecessary war, fought it poorly, used its military to rape, loot, torture and murder its way across a neighbour, and is unlikely to abide by any ceasefire agreement. 1/7 🧵

The last minutes of 2024. It is calm in Kyiv. I am listening to the greetings from our President. Goodbye, 2024 You were hard.

Gocha Gogsadze @gocha_gogsadze💕🌟😊 #Georgia is #Europe✌️ · 2 Std. New Year’s Eve in #Tbilisi, for freedom and the #European future. 🇬🇪🇪🇺 #GeorgiaProtests

Massive celebrations sweep across Syria as the nation ushers in 2025, marking the start of a new era free from the former Assad regime. This footage captures the jubilant atmosphere in Damascus.

All is clear in Kyiv. Let's wait and see what December 31 bring to us. Today's Ukrainian art: Ruslan Kutniak (born in 1967), Where is my Sun? Where? 2020

I'm also genuinely curious why Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon both got quoted here but none of their equivalents, for lack of a better word, on the left were quoted. Did they say no? Or did Semafor not even try to reach them? Also, why are almost all of the indie journos quoted...cis white men?
