Christofascist Evangelicals have erased from American history books that Hitler and the Nazis were far-right, nationalist, conservative Christians. Yes, really. This is common knowledge in Germany. Just ask the AfD Nazi party. They'll be happy to tell you that this is why they love Trump.

Fascists use lies as a weapon to switch the roles of victim and attacker. Hitler blamed Poland for being invaded by Germany. Putin blamed Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. Trump is repeating Putin's fascist lies. If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends.

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:

He nails it.

Helpful explanations here. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Foreign & Domestic….

How many more MAGA-ites will go on TV to defend this? Note that even open neo-Nazis, such as avowed antisemite and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, said Bannon’s salute was “getting a little uncomfortable" and "a little excessive" even for them apnews.com/article/stev...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Reply with a 💙 if you believe that we need more people like Letitia James.

We're going to wake up one day soon to learn that tRump has sold Alaska to Putin. Watch. And if you think that sounds utterly ridiculous, you haven't been paying attention.

headline sucks but I love that even the French Far Right is like "you all need to stop being Nazi freaks"

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Trump pollster’s finds that 59% of voters in 18 swing districts are “worried about their personal financial situation,” and that Democrats are leading in the House generic ballot matchup by five points. @gregsargent.bsky.social: vulnerable GOPers will pay a price for walking lockstep with Trump.

As the Atlantic's @radiofreetom.bsky.social explains, Trump is capturing all the key ministries one needs to hold power in a dictatorship www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"Ukraine started the war," lies Andrei Kelin, Russian ambassador in the UK and laughs. When Victoria Derbyshire says it's a lie and asks why he's laughing, Kelin says - you listen but do not hear. Russians want history textbooks to be written by Russian propagandists. #StayWithUkraine

Take it to the CONVICTED FELON, DIPSHIT & MAGA CULT!!!!!

Ex Russian Intel Agent: KGB Recruited Trump: Many Americans were roasted for observing that Donald Trump acted like a Russian agent. Now a former Russian intelligence agent confirms what many suspected: Trump is a Russian plant recruited by the KGB since the 1980s. Former Russian agent Alnur…

Here come the “town hall no-show’s”. #Wisconsin wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/02/21/r...

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Fùhrer fluffing

Rush Limbaugh 💩 was expert at tainting words by association, e.g., never saying "environmental" without sayin "wacko." So let us use this proven method by always saying "FASCIST" after we say "MAGA." Quick, easy, truthful, & effective. Say "MAGAFASCIST!" Please repost to propagate. Thank you!

He’s unpopular. The GOP agenda is unpopular. Keep resisting.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.

This BETTER OUTRAGE EVERYONE DO YOU KNOW HOW HELPFUL AND NECESSARY THESE VISITS ARE??? CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES 202 224-3121 THIS IS WRONG !!!

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.

Don’t forget the FBI TELLING DOJ TO FUCK OFF

The stupendous Steph worked her magic yet again with another starter pack filled with brilliant fighters. Absolutely worth following! WE ARE THE OPPOSITION🔥

PUTIN’S orders to HIS IDIOT CONVICTED FELON

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

In the immortal words of the FBI: FUCK OFF - MAGA CULT

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

Spot the difference? Republicans want to take away healthcare from kids, seniors & people with disabilities to fund tax cuts for BILLIONAIRES. Democrats are working tirelessly to STRENGTHEN MEDICAID and ensure EVERYONE has access to HEALTHCARE! Don't Cut My Medicaid

Putin gave CONVICTED FELON-PUTIN PUPPET ORDERS TO DESTROY THE US ECONOMY AS WELL AS OUR DEMOCRACY, NATIONAL SECURITY, RULE OF LAW.

'Not good': Ex-Trump official sounds alarm on ominous economic signals: Former Donald Trump administration adviser and Fox News economic commentator Larry Kudlow delivered some ominous words for the president in a segment Friday, warning that key economic indicators signal stagflation could be…

What’s worth more—a billionaire’s next luxury yacht or a child’s chance at a healthy future? Republicans keep choosing the yacht. They’re slashing Medicaid, putting millions of kids, seniors, and families at risk—all to fund handouts for the rich. Not on our watch. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Lucky for him, he still has the treasury to rob.

Medicaid is popular! About 3 in 4 Americans view the program favorably but Republicans are pushing a budget w/ devastating cuts — to finance Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires. The hospitals in GOP districts particularly in rural areas will suffer & potentially close. #DontCutMyMedicaid #MOMSky

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

This will likely upset millions of voters. The government isn’t a business.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

With the day-to-day corruption, staying in this fight can be overwhelming. But real power comes from the people. It was great talking with @wajali.bsky.social, and it's worth repeating: "There is good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for."

Our country was built on one voice, one vote. Citizens United changed that. Hear End Citizens United President @tiffanymuller.bsky.social break down how wealthy special interests are drowning out the voices of everyday Americans:

Jessica: There was a huge drop in support for President Trump and for Elon Musk. Trump’s approval rating is down 5-7 points across four of these big polls. He’s underwater on managing the economy by 8 points. Did you see those town halls? Rich McCormick were booing him.
