"This is a vast project of enforced re-education by a colonial power that wants to wipe away history as though clearing a computer disk, and reprogram a population through barrages of propaganda at the barrel of a gun" From @peterpomerantsev.bsky.social, on occupied Ukraine econ.st/41CVD4d

My family is traveling to Austin right now, and when the TSA officer saw out Ukrainian passports he said that even if the USA president doesn’t support Ukraine, American people do. He pulled out this 🇺🇦🇺🇸pin, gave it to us and started singing Ukrainian national anthem in Ukrainian quietly.

March 2022 Marco Rubio might have been surprised to learn that a leading figure helping Russia try to achieve its war aims is February 2025 Marco Rubio.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”

"I am on a night train from Kyiv, bound for Zaporizhzhia, a city in the southeast of Ukraine which is about twenty miles from the front... As I get ready to go to sleep, I find myself thinking that Americans are also speeding towards a line." snyder.substack.com/p/crossing-a...

No question Trump promised Musk a pre-emotive pardon no matter what happens. This makes me even more scared

It is quite extraordinary to see the greatest power in the world, the US, committing harakiri, because it has elected a mad, ignorant & malign president who only wants to cause damage to all. The US reached its all time peak in early 2025.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Ukraine now the last line of defense as a global fascist takeover spearheaded by an alliance of Russia and American billionaires takes root, Zelensky is cheered as he places a candle at the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

This photo of Musk speaking at the AfD rally has an interesting composition. I'm sure the AFP photographer had fun.
