I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

A most excellent question

Debra M@ddmoc.bsky.social

Apologies for the typos—but you got the gist! My anger at this whole Starlink situation interferes with my executive function to proofread.😉 Why aren’t people asking how much of Ukraine’s war strategy, going thru Starlink, is being fed directly to Russia? The whole situation is rancid!

Russians decided to fire dozens of missiles and cluster munitions (war crime) into residential buildings and shopping malls. Those missiles were launched hours after Trump’s envoy told Putin he was a humanitarian.

This isn’t diplomacy, it’s grovelling fealty.

Russia invaded our home, stole my house, killed my friends, personally sentencing me to death. They abduct Ukrainian children, bomb UN convoys, destroy hospitals, schools and churches, and are now using civilians as human shields in Oleshky. “Humanitarian” wouldn’t be the word I would use.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Yet they watched a missile head toward a capital of three million people and stayed silent, stripping innocent people of their chance to survive. ​To pressure Ukraine into surrender through petty political tactics that wont work.

Well said, Signore.

🇮🇹 Guido Crosetto on Russia: I used the terms good and evil because when a state crosses another state's border with tanks, bombs hospitals, bombs schools, kills civilians, bombs power plants, and has been doing so for four years, I can only call it evil.

President Zelenskyy offered Trump an alternative in destroying Russian refineries. Instead, he offered that Starlink is extended to Russia and ballistic launchers will be attack. This has not only be ignored, but shortly later Starlink respectively Starshield in Ukraine has been curtailed.

It’s hard to believe this is real. It feels like living in some twisted reality where the people fighting for their lives are the ones being pressured, while the aggressor keeps getting treated as a partner for peace.

When I first encountered the expression “russia is a death cult,” I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Now, after more than four years of reading, thinking, and writing about this subject, it makes a ton of sense.

Growing up next door to an aggressor, you don't take freedom for granted. As a young Latvian shares, Ukraine isn't just fighting for itself—it’s breaking a cycle of occupation so the next generation across Eastern Europe can finally live without looking over their shoulder.

Dementia does not do this, but rather being a nasty, vain, greedy and empty headed bully. Dementia just takes the social screen away from his malice, so that everyone can see it plain as day.

Trump's losing it. Look at his eyes, the anger, the fear that his messy deal has been rumbled? His words slaughtering Zelenskyy will only unite Ukraine's public like never before. By "make a deal" he means surrender so he can line his family's pockets yet further.

The diesel is the prop. What got handed over is sanctions relief plus a photo op telling every ally US cover is a line item. Congress can still lock those barrels so a phone call cant undo them.

Entire thread is a bitter read but for those who think that “Russians love their children too” and so forth, it’s time to understand what 500 years of history has made of them. Imperialists. Génocidaires. They know no other way to live.

6/ Kramatorsk All public transport has been stopped in the neighbouring cities of Kramatorsk + Sloviansk. It had to be done, but it's what Putin wants. Remember he pretends these are Russians living there yet he murders them at will. This regime is pure evil #GenocideInUkraine

Secret police! South Africans of a certain age remember them well and without fondness. The ones you need to worry about most are not necessarily the uniformed state sponsored street thugs covering their faces but the ones in suits and shirt sleeves who network fascism at every level.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a textbook colonial war, yet international discourse rarely frames it as such. Based on Ewa Thompson’s Imperial Knowledge, this explainer reveals why Russian imperialism remains overlooked. 🧵 1/7 ⬇️

Behind closed doors Putin is selling off chunks of the country to China for pennies on the dollar. Russia's already hollowed out and dead, like a zombie

Did you know “Trumpery” is a real English word that has fallen out of use? We really need to bring it back because it is astonishingly accurate.
