I wrote my paper on this in law school last year! Shit you not, I didn't know what to call it and with minutes left on the clock I typed out: "The Law of Disinformation: The Right Not To Be Emotionally Harmed Or To Lose A Democracy" ...anyway that was in April of 2024. But who could have known!?

This thread answers a lot of questions and also shows how it's worse. As Prune does.

Iโ€™m not sure the exact circumstances here, but when we heard about people who werenโ€™t getting paid on some construction projects far from home - They didnโ€™t have the money to leave - If they worked they at least got fed in the canteen. Eating was a motivator

In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record: The Resistance Libs Were Right.

It's a bit of a hard stop when you realize how much your social media feeds (RIP Twitter) have been amply supplying all your PACER needs by way of the posters' good practices. Anyway how do I use this thing for following the fights for the rule of law? Can you set up searches and alerts? How?

US #fellas time to dust off* the old "What Airdefense Doing?" t-shirt and go asking November's candidates why anyone wouldn't immediately send Patriot air defense to Ukraine. We know geopolitics doesn't move polls, but we aren't as stupid & cruel as our Executive & supine Congress. *regularly worn

good metaphor; the speaker sounds like a #fella. Trump and Abbott only want sham elections, and they don't want to be called out for it. Stay loud.

O'Hare just warned that deputies are prepared to arrest people. So far, he's flipped out twice: 1) a speaker said "bullshit" 2) a speaker compared Tarrant County Republicans to Russia

โ€œIt is profitless to speculate on error.โ€ Once again I must stress that my grandmother talked like this all the fucking time, she could have been describing a salad that wasnโ€™t as good as she was hoping it would be

โ€ผ๏ธ Worth watching: A Russian man explains to his former compatriots why they bear responsibility for whatโ€™s happening in their country.

Smart and instructive. A concise lesson in how to deal with Moscow. Baltics know.

"With Russia, you either kneel or you are the enemy. There is nothing in between." Former Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitฤ— on meeting Putin in 2010โ€”and why Lithuania immediately built an LNG terminal to completely cut off Russian gas.

The defense of Kyiv by the regions of the north and all who assembled there in critical and decisive battles is underappreciated as a people's history. Anyway Ukraine is the military power now and russia is so casually fucked. Also s/o Georgian Legion Kastus... โค๏ธ u Belarus Mansour & Dudayev Svoboda

A gaslit nation or two should pay closer attention.

That Zelensky takes Loomer seriously enough to meet with her is an even worse indicator. (And before folks weigh in -- no, this meeting was not necessary to "win over MAGA"; it was not ever necessary to "win over Loomer". If that's a priority in a war, ask why -- and follow the money and networks.)

This is good, Senator McCormick. More of this.

Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social

Sen. McCormick: "As you see in chart 2, red areas circled in green is all that Russia's been able to conquer in last 18 months. This is not Russian war machine on the march. It's war machine that's grinding itself to dust. Ukraine done it through courage, ingenuity, innovation."

The knife wielders said they wouldnโ€™t miss. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the knife wielders.

I'd extend my argument to say what we face is not a crisis of facts, but a crisis of consequences. If the public loses faith in the ability for facts to result in consequences, then populist and authoritarian movements that offer consequences operate as a counterfeit for functional democracy.

Click through and scroll up to the very top (yes, keep scrolling... yes, keep scrolling...) for an extremely digestible and fortifying splainer from Prune. The better to enjoy the intersecting multitude of russia's money crises by!
