US public is worked on so that in two years we will get lend-lease to russia. In the autocrats vs democracies conflict the former are moving really fast.
It seems necessary to remind everyone that just two days ago, the Russians killed teacher Inna Maryukhina and her one-year-old daughter Angelina in the village of Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region.
Is this what "humanism" now means to Witkoff?
Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia.
I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.
Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna were killed by Russia yesterday.
Anhelina was just over a year old. Her mom, Inna Mariukhna, was a primary school teacher. They were in the park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, when a Russian drone attacked.
Little Anhelina was killed in her stroller.
Russian forces launched a drone strike on a park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, killing an infant and two women. Families with children were in the park at the time of the attack. At least 14 other people were injured, including seven children.
A couple was taken out from the debris in Zaporizhzhia. Their daughter was killed.
Russian aerial bombs hit a residential building, killing twenty people, three of them children.
Whatever the reasoning, striking Kyiv’s Northern Bridge with a drone in broad daylight, while civilians are using it, is deeply disturbing.
A drone strike is hardly going to bring down the bridge. It does, however, put people’s lives at risk and begs the question, what Russia is trying to achieve?
It is my opinion that the point of this whole show is not to achieve peace but to have another go at persuading the us public that russia is good and Ukraine is bad.
What a shock--Trump sends Witkoff and Kushner to meet first with Putin and reach an understanding, and naturally the Ukrainians have to say no. The idea that the US could be an honest broker in this war is madness. It is a stalking horse for the Russian dictator.
I am surprised that we don't yet have a leak of a 28 points plan by now. You know, something that the Ukraine has to say no to so the rapepublicans can be convinced that Ukraine does not want "peace".
🚨 EVIDENT WAR CRIME.
Russian forces published horrifying FPV drone footage showing the deliberate tracking and striking of an unarmed civilian riding a bicycle near Kramatorsk.
This is direct, documented proof of Russia’s intentional terror against innocent Ukrainian civilians.
Dear media,
You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated.
Thank you
Comparison of tweets from comrade
@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social on Ukraine & Venezuela.
-Russia "enters", USA makes "illegal attack"
-Russia actions excused cos of NATO. USA accused of wanting oil
-Russia created a "crisis" & offered diplomacy. USA "should be condemned by everyone"
Please call the guy the January 6th pipe bomber.
Fox is calling him the "January 5th bomber" because he planted the bombs the night before but really because they don't want to mention 1/6 as a bad day.
Language is power.
We use other people's words when we want to empower them - we use their preferred pronouns and we use their preferred names.
Don't extend this courtesy to autocrats and bullies. Don't give them power by using their misleading words or phrases .
Don't use "DOGE". Call it for what it is "whatever office or not an office elmo is using to act in the government". I know that it is a lot more to type than 4 letters but we as a community will come up with something shorter and smarter eventually.

Take your time to label their things in a different way. If you can not find something witty just use a long and boring phrase that accurately describe their things. You can always switch if you find a better term.
Elon wants us to call Twitter X but he is not calling his own daughter by her preferred pronoun. Don't give him that. Call him elmo or fElon or elona or something that resonates with you.
You can argue that elon banning users who hurt his feelings is not in "in good faith" so, under section 230, Twitter should no longer be exempt from being treated as a "publisher or speaker" therefore not immune for civil liability for everybody's tweets. Not a lawyer but this would end Twitter.
It turns out i am wrong. Section 230 applies to each piece of content Twitter hosts and not to Twitter as a whole. Even if you can prove they removed some content in bad faith, the rest of the content is still covered by section 230.
Banning goes into issues of free association (1st amendment).
