To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

"The American republic is undergoing a constitutional crisis as the president attempts to rule as an autocrat, a heedless billionaire smashes through people’s lives with sadistic glee, and the U.S. is attempting to reverse eighty years of world leadership." www.thebulwark.com/p/america-jo...

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

OTD in 2014 we sent masked soldiers to occupy Crimea 2014 “they’re not Russian soldiers but local militias. Russia has nothing to do with them” 2015 “They were not Russian soldiers but we “stood behind them” Later 2015 “They were Russian soldiers" But we are not lying this time

McConnell marked the solemn occasion with a minute-long moment of silence in the middle of a sentence.

It looks like Steve Bannon just did a Nazi salute at the end of his CPAC speech.

Trump has now attacked Ukraine and Zelensky saying that Zelensky is a dictator and that it is Ukraine's fault the war started. Trump has sent his fake delegation to Saudi Arabia to listen to the Russia and agree to all of their demands. youtu.be/vCnklxASVQ4

“The people who represent the nation that has committed these war crimes are sitting across the table from Rubio with the hope of relief from devastating sanctions and an end to a conflict they started, all the while continuing to inflict suffering on Ukraine.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-neg...

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev seems shocked by how quickly Trump has aligned the U.S. with Russia. The WSJ reported today that Russian officials “appeared to be caught off guard” by the speed of Trump’s pivot toward Moscow.

“The chickens have been treating me very unfairly.”

OTD in 2022, Russian ambassador to US said "Russia recognises Donbas as a part of Ukraine, does not have any claims on Ukrainian lands, does not have plans of any attack". So you can believe it we promise to stop.

"We oppose the actions of the current administration because we want this nation to remain a free country and once again to become a friend of freedom abroad."

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

"USAID is worth every penny. I wish I could say the same for the Department of Defense, which spends money on a scale USAID could only dream of, and often with more waste." ICYMI Will Selber: www.thebulwark.com/p/usaid-kept...

BBC’s Steve Rosenberg reports from Russia that JD Vance’s speech at the Munich conference “has gone down well in Moscow.” That alone should tell you everything you need to know about the speech and what the Trump administration really stands for.

This is your periodic reminder that the worst people in American society elected a 34-time convicted felon to be their president.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Perfectly captured.

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.
