Just saying! #DOGEDOGE

22/2/25 - nocturn

The notion that Ukraine should have held elections when a large chunk of its population were under enemy control and it has troops at the front line… …is so farcical that I’m surprised Russia had the balls to push it. That Trump didn’t comprehend the simple dynamics of it… less so. 💁🏻‍♂️

Please read this. This is the quality content now purged from twitter

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...

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

Many do appear to be doing this.

Russian losses ✊

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

Thousands are here outside the Russian embassy in London to say "Russian troops out of Ukraine!" After Trump's treachery, our Governments must provide Ukraine with all the military and financial aid other needs to defeat Russia and win a just peace. Europe can do this🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine

A GB News host has announced that "it's over for groups like Stop Funding Hate". Meanwhile our Crowdfunder page has raised *double* its initial target and there's still time to chip in 👏👏👏 crowdfunder.co.uk/p/stop-gb-news

Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

They hit the Daily Beast too

Oh Janey Godley how I miss you, you were right in every way. #TrumpIsACunt #JaneyGodley #ScotlandHatedHimFirst

Today's Black History Month Spotlight: In May 2022, 7 members of Full Circle, a group of Black climbers & mountaineers, were the 1st all-Black team to stand atop the summit, the highest mountain on earth - Mt. Everest. Their aim was to increase the rarely seen visibility of mountaineers of color.

One united front against all forms of discrimination, oppression, and violence. ✊🏽✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻 We will not back down. Not a snowball's chance in hell.

Trump’s purge at the Pentagon is just the start. Last night he fired the highly-regarded General C Q Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and replaced him with a retired three-star general, Dan Caine, who on their first meeting put on a MAGA cap and said ‘I love you, sir.’

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

🇺🇦 Sybiha: Russia’s war against Ukraine is the largest war of aggression in Europe since WWII. Allowing Putin to succeed would have disastrous consequences for the stability and common way of life of every family in Europe and the US. The cost of appeasement will be paid by ordinary people.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

So much at stake in Germany this Sunday: A clean and just transition or a lurch to the right? Best of luck to @robert-habeck.de and his @gruene.de colleagues.

Friends, we're ok I'm on my way to pick up some stuff for my son Drones attack of Kyiv lasted 4hrs 1 person is killed, there're damages of buildings I'm in a bad mood Especially after some "nice" comments on Twitter of an American follower from Oklahoma

Musk may cut Starlink support for Ukraine if Zelenskyy doesn’t sign the deal to give America access to rare earth minerals, negotiators have said. (Reuters) Mafia Politics.

Zelensky is the first leader, and Ukraine the first nation, to face such an impossible position since Czechoslovakia in 1938 bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/t...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I’m encouraged by these town halls but I also remember very clearly how this happened in 2017 as well. Instead of responding to the complaints, they stopped doing them. www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpo...

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ 🇪🇺🇺🇦 The EU is preparing a package of about €20 billion (!) in additional military support for Ukraine, - Bloomberg ❗️The initiative would aim to deliver artillery ammunition, air defense systems, deep-precision strike missiles, drones as well as other weapons.

As I walked home today What started as a breeze Ended bending over trees. I kept a careful eye Up in the sky In case a branch Came flying by. And so I hurried home To my warm and draft free house. No more to roam, I was content, Until the gale was spent. Wordle 1,344 3/6 🟨⬛⬛🟨⬛ ⬛⬛🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
