This! And this is exactly the right tone and information to share every time someone blames the US electorate for where we are right now... every time someone says how devastated they are that he won the election. We can't change it now, but we CAN protect 2026 & acknowledging the truth matters!

Siding with Putin should be a bridge too far for any patriotic American. As should supporting Bibi’s atrocities in Gaza. As should letting the oligarchs buy our federal government and prey on the working class. These aren’t policy differences. They are betrayals of our history and our values.

If lefties continue to makebelieve what actual Dems are actually doing based off Beutler posts rather than learning what they are doing and magnifying it, they are the ones protecting corruption.

Joseph O'Neill@josephoneill.bsky.social

If Dems don't seize hold of the "corruption" theme, Republicans will. And because Dems continue to protect the Republican brand, voters will conclude, not unfairly, that both parties are as bad as each other. Either you're strongly anti-corruption or you're corrupt. No middle ground on this issue.

In this @phillipspobrien.bsky.social makes the excellent point, that Starlink dependency is as much as a threat to the US as it is globally. A malevolent operator, making political donations in the hundreds of millions, could easily use the on/off switch to impact domestic political opponents.

Putin has not funded disruption and chaos across Europe and the UK solely to weaken his enemies. He also knows that disruption and chaos favour the far right. And the far right loves Putin. It will abandon Ukraine and build him a highway into Europe.

Putin has put on a masterclass of manipulating the ignorance & avarice of Trump & Co. these last few weeks. The hayseed who thinks he’s getting cheaper diesel for his tractor has no idea the price he’s gonna pay in the long run. Democracy has lost this round to an obese grifter.

THIS! Always ask yourself who benefits or will benefit when tRUmp does anything. Iran was always about this.... and a way to make the US military much weaker.

David Rothkopf@djrothkopf.bsky.social

Not for free right? So, let's do the math. 500,000 metric tons of diesel is about $500 million. A million worth $1 billion dollars. This looks an aid program for Russia and an effective disabling of US sanctions. This strengthens the Kremlin and is a threat to US, allied interests.
