Zelenskyy: "For first time in Russia’s history, we now hear that its oil industry is running on fumes. Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal & destructive. Russia’s finances & Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped”

I thought I was being clever 20 years ago when I called my translation of Elfriede Jelinek’s “Bambiland” a “radical feminist translation,” but this sounds next-level. Who’d a thunk I’d ever go medieval? (Scuttling off to see if there’s a Kindle version available).

There are too many positive comments in there (likely AI-generated).

“benefits” when the clock struck midnight on their 65th birthday because, by golly, they PAID for it. It was THEIR money. On top of the millions they already had, from inheritance, or real estate, or hard work and dumb luck.

So much hope, So much promise. Swallowed by the swamp thug and his pool boys.

The good old days! This is what America used to be like from 2008-16. This good-natured vision of our country was so appalling to some that they’ve devoted themselves to a decrepit fool who destroys everything he touches.

Can somebody explain to me why the rule is "if you can't make rent, cut out the streaming apps, lattes, and avocado toasts" but it's never "if you can't afford your workers a living wage, cut out the mega-yachts, rockets, and spaceships."

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

What I don’t get is why Dems in Senate & House aren‘t holding DAILY press conferences at all of Demolition Derby Don’s DC project sites. They should be lined up in plank position on the floor of the reflecting pool, chained to the fence at the site of the Arch, chained to backhoe on the east wing.

Throughout the country, millions of Americans have been putting their BODIES on the line, in No Kings marches and other forms of direct action, not the least of which includes Lakota youth who stopped a pipeline project from moving forward at Pe’Sla.

The American people HAVE put their bodies on the line—not just in MN, where hundreds of thousands took to the streets in subzero temps to stand in the way of Trump’s goon squad. Two—Renee Good and Alex Pretti—paid the ultimate price.

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
