Anti-Sabotage Operations Group

Yes, but more specifically: It's sabotage. When you think of Trump as a Russian weapon being used to do maximum long-term damage to the US, everything he does makes sense.

Like, can anyone name a single oppressed minority group whose fortunes improved by helping Republicans get power? Why do they/we keep thinking that's an intelligent strategy?

The thing I ultimately don't understand about pro-trans activists lately is how you look at how every single other minority group got screwed over *hard* the second they chose Democrat Derangement Syndrome over Dealing with Republicans Who Were the Real Issue, yet still decide DDS is the way to go.

Somewhere there is a GOP comms guy absolutely livid that all their candidates and surrogates in MI aren't staying on message because they can't parse Muslim bashing from Arab bashing

I mean

It’s time all marginalized communities let each of these performative pricks know. It doesn’t wipe the slate clean of what their ancestors done in America. Israel is trying to keep the colonizers from doing it to their people.

Oh really? Because it obviously is political, in the specific sense that the Trump Ring of Russian spies is sabotaging America's defenses against Russian spies like them...

Turns out extremists who enjoy violence aren't as good at it as technocrats who do violence as a job

specific comment by @irhottakes.bsky.social that i think about more or less all the time: fascism's appeal is that its the best at spectacular violence but in the world's biggest and most important spectacular violence contest fascism came in third

Oh no, urban destruction in the cities fascists waged war from!! lol Sorry your emotional support theocracy started a war against their much stronger actually-indigenous neighbors. They shouldn’t have done that. Now they got their ass kicked. Do you think they’ll learn not to try that anymore?

Ok leftists, you claim that there’s “apartheid” in Israel, so explain how an estimated 74% of Arab Israelis who are able to vote have voted.

But where’s the Board of Peace? It cost $1 billion a seat, as far as I remember.

Concession after concession to Russia from the US, with zero concessions back from Russia. This isn't about ending the war at all, this is about corruption. Turns out "Russia, Russia, Russia" wasn't a hoax after all.

The Trump administration is exploring a new concession to Russia: lifting sanctions on the country’s flagship government investment fund, long viewed by U.S. officials as one of the Kremlin’s most powerful tools of international influence. - NYT

The "national security" tech CEOs doing this is arguably even funnier. Elon Musk will Bravely Stand Up To The Enemies Of Western Civilization And World Socialism. Which evidently do not include the Chinese Communist Party.

"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."

Yeah, this is really bad. It's good that El-Sayed distanced himself from it, but I am in awe at how Cenk's left-wing PAC managed to combine antisemitism with transphobia and pitch it as *supporting* the Democrat in this race.

He’s also a white supremacist.🧵

Despite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

Elon Musk has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has spent in his entire lifetime.

it low-key is pretty pathetic how servile many celebrities, artists etc. very willing to take Brave Stances in the westare when it comes to anything that pisses off Beijing.

Don't worry, Flavio! Your future is guaranteed by Donald J. Trump! That's a bet no one has ever come to regret!

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a post for the anniversary of the Tree of Life shooting, which was 8 years ago today. The comments are a cesspool of hate. Antisemites aren't satisfied with murdering Jews in cold blood. They desecrate their memories, too.

Damn, who could have seen this one coming?

Oh yeah, if the Democrats are so great why is my every waking hour suffused with lethargy and anhedonia, lib?

1/ Russian commentators are divided about what the defeat of Serbia's President Alexander Vučić means for Russia. Some mourn the loss of a leader they see as a pro-Russian ally. Others, however, criticise him as a fake friend who quietly helped Ukraine against Russia. ⬇️

Trump arranges the exfiltration of Flávio Bolsonaro from Brazil to the US after Brazil's Supreme Court orders him not to leave the country in order to stand trial on money laundering charges. He just lost the presidential elections in Brazil in which he was heavily supported by Team Trump.

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

But I thought the point of the embargo and sanctions was to pressure Israelis to elect leaders who would adopt different policies? It sounds like Congresswoman Tlaib doesn't think Israel should exist at all.

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

Why do ethnic russian Latvian passport holders with a criminal record often end up being involved in russian sabotage, despite claiming they knew nothing about it? balticflank.substack.com/p/they-thoug...

I don't dare hope, but if this is the end of Bibi, a political career as old as I am, it'll make me more happy than anything short of the end of Trump (or Putin I guess)

As I said last week, Trump and Putin know time is running out. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

People also forget that CO tried to keep him off the ballots because he was an insurrectionist and SCOTUS said no.

People that ignore this tend to be the people that ignored Hillary’s warnings about the Supreme Court in 2016

The russian people are so dumb that they have allowed a small man to remain in power since 1999, who is so fearful that he protects his own home more than he protects the capital of his country. www.svoboda.org/a/vokrug-rez...

Color revolution theory is great because it isn’t actually meant to give you a strategy as much as an alibi for why you got your ass kicked These guys destroyed the NED/USAID/CIA deep state they feared and are still getting their asses beat, so dammit do they need to rationalize and shift blame

So obviously this is all just performative ignorance for the party of low-education voters, but it's also objectively hilarious to do this routine for the Middle East. You can't pronounce "Iran", "Egypt", "Jordan" or "Turkey"?
