Is Trump going to bomb Venezuela so that we forget he might be a pedophile and a rapist? America have you fallen so low? Letting his collusion with Russia pass along with his betrayal of Ukrainians which costs lives every day and now this? Do something! www.pravda.com.ua/news/2025/11...

The danger of good Russians. Vexler here claims that Latynina's bog standard Russian imperialism did not exist prior to her engagement with American fascists and is not a universal attitude among Russians.

Nothing to see here. I honestly believe that Trump and his entourage are planning to establish a Nazi superstate with fascist fiefdoms in a broken Europe.

Reminder: The seven-week #RepublicanShutdown was about preventing incoming Arizona legislator Adelita Grijalva from taking her congressional seat and clearing the path for a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

However, many of the trees are now adorned with embroidered scarves and the photographs of people believed to be buried there. The families of the dead can at least commemorate their loss. (4/26)

Prior to the fall of the Soviet Union, the authorities had suppressed the truth about the mass executions of the 1930s. Symonenko would ultimately be beaten up due to his interest in the site and die of the complications caused by his injuries. (3/26)

I am uploading my tweets so some posts will seem dated, stupid and wrong. Lukashenko crushed his rebellion, Russia launched its genocide war. But some will hopefully prove insightful. I am deleting my X account... it is a swamp...

The river made no excuses for itself,
Having known so many dead
Having known so many living
The moon drew a veil over its face
Yearning, as always, to erase
Its beauty and proffer only the dark.
The world groped for an alphabet.
