Trump's win shows us who we really are: This article by professor Aaron W. Hughey is one of the most powerful and accurate post-election indictments of America you'll ever read. 😳👇

As someone who lived in Tbilisi for 3 years, I suggest that all Westerners planning on visiting Georgia cancel their plans, not due to security concerns, but to 1) deny the economy your money and 2) to not be unjustly classified as "western interference" by the media.

This year isn't over yet, and neither is this session of Congress. The Senate needs to confirm vacant inspector general positions in order to protect against fraud, waste and abuse.

🔴 This is the situation tonight in Georgia The confrontation between the protesters and the police has been going on for seven hours. It follows the usual pattern: the protesters launch pyrotechnics at the special forces, the special forces shoot them with tear gas capsules. ZSU insider TG

People want to know why I'm so angry at Donald Trump. It's because his democracy destroying existence is totally screwing up my retirement plan. I never planned to be defending the Constitution against domestic enemies at my age.

With USA’s questionable reliability, embolden #CRIK (China, Russia, Iran and North Korea) and more tensions rising from every part of the world, we need a stronger economical, political and powerful #europeanUnion. The defensive pillar is not an option anymore!!! @ec.europa.eu

The three Baltic States jointly agreed to impose national sanctions against those who suppressed legitimate protests in Georgia. Opponents of democracy and violators of human rights are not welcome in our countries. 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇬🇪

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce an American political consultant and lobbyist, Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr). He's best-known for his work as an advisor to Donald Trump & for his alleged connections with Julian Assange and the GRU in relation to the leaked DNC e-mails. 1/20

If you want to know what is the primary determinant of people's views on the economy, & whether they think "inflation" is a problem, it's this chart on media use. More than any other factor you can think of. We tried them all. But it's not really about education. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Their lack of fitness for the job is the point. It makes them loyal. “I’ve seen him drunk so many times. I’ve seen him dragged away not a few times but multiple times. To have him at the Pentagon would be scary” https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/pete-hegseths-secret-history

We should redesign cities for autonomous kids, not autonomous cars.

NEW FROM ME: The government will do things that hurt people. But knowing exactly what it is doing — & therefore who’s most at risk — is at the foundation of fighting against it. Anything else is doing Trump’s job for him. Here’s a start. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/o...

Following protests in support of #Palestine in #SantaBarbara, police are pushing for "a sweeping search warrant...[that would give police] IP addresses and data about users who have messaged, commented, liked and potentially even just seen the groups’ posts..." www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

musk is clearly extremely unhappy that he got what he wanted and chased a lot of his user base off but failed to account for how fascists aren't in public because they like talking to each other, so he effectively created a quarantine ward for the world's least fuckable man children to complain in.

BREAKING: Bezalel Smotrich says: "it is possible to create a situation where Gaza's population in two years will be less than half its current size", but if you call this a genocide, you are committing a hate crime x
