Remember- authoritarian post-truth populists say they represent the people. But they don’t. They are exclusionary. They are enemies of the idea that all citizens are in this together. The are enemies of institutions & enemies of solidarity- the very value they criticise woke liberals for abandoning.

You won, suck it up. Because your lives are going to be just as screwed by this result as ours are.

It’s a very dark day for democracy in #Georgia.
Georgia Parliament overrides veto on foreign-agent law, in victory for Russia
Georgia’s future as either being part of Moscow’s orbit or that of Western Europe hangs in the balance with the passage of the law, which could threaten its plans to join the European Union.

Could we please stop denigrating wild animals by associating them with the worst possible human traits? I'm thinking in particular of loan sharks, weasel politicians, wolves in sheep's clothing and Laurence Fox.

The Russian terror attack against Ukraine last night was strong. The Ukrainian air defense neutralized 92 aerial vehicles and missiles.
It is another wake up call to not only increase the supplies in air defense but to strike more Russian targets inside Russia.

Sigh, if the French 🇫🇷 had armed UA 🇺🇦 properly over two years ago, with their considerable defence budget, they could not only have prevented AFU losing, but helping Ukraine retain/-take valuable land and sea ports in the south east!
🇫🇷🇪🇺 The European economy will suffer a catastrophe if Russia wins in Ukraine, - French Foreign Minister in an interview with Le Monde
▪️Russia will control more than 30% of the world wheat market.
▪️Western countries need to allocate more than 2% of GDP to aid in order to prevent the defeat of AFU.

Yes, there's so much wrong with the kind of thinking that this picture represents. It's certainly exposes that particular subset of farmers as agroindustrialists that do not give a flying fuck about nature or long term, sustainable food production.
This shows a tractor crashing through the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to ensure everyone's needs are met without destroying the living world. It's being widely shared by accounts supporting farmers' protests. Most farmers are surely horrified by this message.🧵

For two years now, the heroic Ukrainian people have been defending their country from the aggressor.
Liberating cities and territories. Resisting bravely. Defying all odds.
