Democracy isn't dying quietly.
It’s being suffocated, by noise, lies, distraction, and systems that profit from confusion.

But we’re not here to mourn it.
We’re here to fight for what comes next.

I will have no forgiveness for russia in my lifetime.
"The girl and her father were burned alive in their apartment..."

In a massive Russian drone attack on Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk region, three residents of a high-rise building were killed. A man and his 15-year-old daughter are among victims.

The morning after the election, I had a panicked thought: “My threat model is wrong.”

I’d been giving privacy advice for years, but my counsel would not protect against an authoritarian president seeking revenge against political enemies.

Tyranny was going to require a new threat model.

Witkoff's repeating of Kremlin lies about "russian-speakers" wanting to "join Russia" is truly chilling. This is nothing less than carte blanche for Putin's genocidal imperialism. Hearing Americans talk like this should be an electric shock for Europe, not a wakeup call.

When you are partnered with America's enemies, this is what you do: you reveal war plans against a country to an individual tied to that country; and you place the US military in the hands of an incompetent.

Yet if shit hits the fan, our personnel operating on first name basis will have little mitigating effects on isolationist and bridge-burning orders. Indeed, if sporadic protests like these threaten bilateral defence ties through simple freedom of speech, perhaps they weren't as robust to begin with?

Russia has no interest in negotiating. Their aim is clear: destroy Ukraine.

Europe can’t wait for Trump to meet Putin. We have the collective power to tip Russia’s economy off a cliff. Embargo Russian energy, crack down on sanctions dodging, & give 🇺🇦 seized RU assets in the EU.

Your current behavior mirrors how you might have responded during the times of Hitler and Stalin. If you accept or defend authoritarianism now, it's highly likely you would have acted similarly in the past. Wake up and do something or be a coward!
