I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

All in all, let’s note one important factor - Russia, the murderer and agressor, was not asked or pressured to consider, and as a result, has not even slightly indicated ANY interest in just peace or ceasefire.
That is THE bottom line.

Were we told we’d be poorer?
“Johnson wanted to make “a Titanic success” of Brexit… he succeeded: we hit the iceberg.
… reconnecting with Europe may not be a political choice anymore, but an economic necessity.”

New: Boris Johnson’s ‘Brexit Titanic success’ was half right

The Soviet regime deliberately exterminated millions of Ukrainians by creating an artificial famine in 1932-1933.
(Holodomor.)
Today, Russia continues to commit genocide.
Their methods have changed, but the imperial hatred has not.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Politicians in 3 states have passed legislation mandating the Ten Commandments be displayed in public schools.
We've sued in all 3. We've won in all 3.
Don't mess with the separation of church and state.

Patriarchy and white supremacy is the common religion between them all. It's the only religion.
So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible.
But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

It’s quaint, I know, but the President of the United States calling for the hanging of Democratic service members for saying that no one should follow an illegal order should inspire a conversation about the 25th Amendment.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

What a crock
Despicable.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The sight of Mohammed bin Salman sitting in the Oval Office should make all Americans want to vomit. It sure does for me.
