In this 154th long read on my strategy blog, I revisit some fundamental realities of Russia's war against Ukraine that continue to be misunderstood by many leaders.
There's an urgent need to set the basic narratives straight & demonstrate intentionality.

I wrote about "Quiet, Piggy," natalist movements, the denigration of women in authoritarian societies, the ways that women were treated not so long ago in the workplace (including me), and how you can push back against all that.

Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."

Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Elite capitulation continues.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

You've found the start of THE daily thread on Day 1370 of Russia's immoral and illegal all out war on its neighbour.

Some say things are not so bleak for Ukraine today.
Well, I'm still very angry with allies as well as the war criminals.

All help boosting is welcome 😊

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Welcome to Thursday's daily🧵 with all the important news from Ukraine + Russia, without gratuitous gory bits.

Every single day, without a break for holiday or illness, I've been here using my Ukraine experience & sources to fact check everything. Let's Go!

For years they droned on about “the Deep State” - a powerful cabal that controlled everything.

Then they set their sights on “the Epstein list” - a powerful cabal that preyed on children.

(Spoiler: it’s the same cabal)

Now they’re in power, guess who is protecting this cabal?

They are.

Odd.

Don't go there Canadians, show some solidarity and pride. Say no to authoritarianism by not spending money in their corrupt country... support our corrupt country instead! At least it is our corruption!
Ice is lawless & violent!

These masked thugs are abducting & torturing people including US CITIZENS!

Will your kid, spouse, siblings, grandparent or grandchildren next?

Call Congress and demand accountability!

Democracy dies in darkness.
Washington Post capitulated.
LA Times capitulated.
ABC capitulated.
CBS capitulated.
CNN capitulated.

Support independent, pro democracy media like @status.news, @thebulwark.com, @crooked.com, @boltsmag.org, @the-downballot.com, @contrariannews.org and, of course, @democracydocket.com.
Scoop: During a trip to DC last week, CNN CEO Mark Thompson made a visit to the White House, where he promoted the network’s new streamer

Staffers were taken aback the next morning when Thompson urged them to ease up on East Wing renovation coverage

The Buying Canadian still requires support in the supermarkets, where many of their own branded products have been USA sourced. Just for health reasons alone they need to remove unregulated meat and milk products/bye-products from processed foods sold in Canada. Buy better, buy Canadian… Sorry!
