"The term DEI, frequently invoked by the Trump administration, functions as a smoke screen" read @adamserwer.bsky.social on the real goals of the 'anti-DEI' rhetoric www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

Georgia keeps fighting and it must not be overlooked: On February 21 alone, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs imposed a staggering 750,000 GEL (270,000 USD) in fines against peaceful protesters in Tbilisi. Video: Giorgi Burjanadze

The drugs don't work They just make you worse

Hitler, who I do not support, never would have embraced genocide, which I also do not support, if the Weimar shitlibs hadn't tried so hard to deplatform him. by Glenn Greenwald

The release of the J6 rioters and the confirmation of Kesh Patel as head of FBI serves to assert control over the GOP by means of political violence. Fear is the rulers. And it will only get worse. They should have impeached Trump when they had the chance. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

The anti-anti-Trump creed: Nobody saw this coming. And if they did, well, the other side was worse. A self-exonerating lullaby, sung over the ruins of truth, as the graves fill and the republic slips quietly into the dark.

Putin's tools working overtime to spin their lies about Ukraine.

One of these days, the leopards will eat his face, too.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Italian editorial cartoonist Paolo Lombardi notes that Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war mirrors Hitler’s false claim Poland attacked German troops shortly before he launched the Nazi invasion.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

Dark Pence is back.

Just another far-right conman, blaming immigrants while hoarding his own personal wealth.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

It must suck being an old school Republican when your boss is a Russian tool. 🤷‍♂️ www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

U.S. media: Interviewing retired Democrats about whether taking over Canada would help them electorally Canadian media: Interviewing retired counterinsurgency advisors on what a campaign of resistance against an armed invasion would look like

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Blaming Ukraine for the war is like blaming Poland for WW2. www.ft.com/content/2506...

Trump demands that Ukraine hold elections as part of peace talks (once again proving he is noting but a Russian tool). Election demands that the Ukrraine control its territory. Occupied areas must be deoccupied. Russia need to leave Ukraine. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

#Georgia ’s legitimate President Salome Zourabichvili was assaulted by pro-Kremlin thugs at Tbilisi airport upon her return from the Munich Security Conference.

Drudge Report dubs the Prez Comrade Trumpski. MAGA, is that what you voted for? A coward bowing to Putin ?

Celebrating 3 years anniversary of the worst aged take ever! 🎂

1. Rubio will get owned by Lavrov. 2. He will come out with some shitty deal that nobody would accept. 3. Trump & Putin will blame Ukraine when it’s rejected (“they don’t want peace, etc”). 4. Pro-Ukraine Rs in Congress will say nothing.

🔥🔥🔥 Courts, laws, and the constitution will not stop an authoritarian power grab. We are witnessing this right now, in real-time. Once in power, they will enforce laws to stop any and all opposition.

Propagandist Natia Beridze threatens President Zourabichvili with a Titushky (regime thugs) attack similar to Gakharia's at the airport and advises she wear a raincoat. The President is coming back from the Munich Security Conference.

Tesla sales are crashing across Europe 📉 Wonder why. #dontbuyaswasticar

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Efter München 1938 åkte Neville Chamberlain hem till London och sa de berömda orden ”Fred i vår tid”. Winston Churchill svarade surt: ”Ni hade ett val mellan krig och förnedring. Ni valde förnedring, och ni kommer att få krig.” Nu är vi där igen. www.aftonbladet.se/ledare/blogg...

The most common sense position is, of course, for Europe to pledge €600-800 billion in support of Ukraine, ramp up military production, and stand firm against the tidal wave of authoritarianism now threatening our freedom.
