I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Russian disinfo network “Matryoshka” is migrating to Bluesky as exodus from X continues. You may notice them as posters who are smearing Chrystia Freeland, pushing anti-Ukrainian narratives, Germany's election, anti-EU rhetoric, anti-NATO rhetoric, etc. Their numbers are still low, so stay vigilant
