Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She was a traitor to this country. She was part of a violent mob that tried to overthrow our democracy...She didn't die protecting our country. She died trying to turn it down...She wasn't a martyr. She was and is a traitor."

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Explicit calls for violence, even war on many Americans, is very bad. Even worse since they have no idea who killed Kirk or why. But if you’re not familiar with these prominent right-wing figures, they regularly advocate violence and repression against the broadly defined Left, often based on lies.

Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

The only analysis that I think is appropriate now: Charlie Kirk actively and successfully worked to create a more politically violent society. This is the kind of thing that happens in a politically violent society. It swallows the innocent and the complicit alike. Kirk was undeniably complicit.

CNN: When the jobs report comes out, are you going to believe the numbers? REP. RANDY FINE: Um, I'm going to look at the numbers. Look, the people who put these numbers together are human & fallible and make mistakes C: It wasn't that they make mistakes F: Numbers always tend to benefit the left

People in Kyiv are heading to the Metro for the night - a large number of drone launches have been reported, and Russian strategic bombers are taking off. Another big attack expected. Drones seem to be bypassing Kyiv and heading west, however. Putin escalating his war on Ukraine.

Xi-Putin-Modi backslapping, along with easing global condemnation for Russia's aggressive war of territorial conquest, gives a sense of what the post-American world looks like. Not some sort of peaceful utopia, but a playground for authoritarians, with aggression abroad and repression at home.

Pu says he doesn't want Ukraine in NATO. Trump says Ukraine won't be in NATO. Ukraine is not in NATO. Yet the war continues, Ru keeps attacking and there's no peace in sight. The war is very clearly NOT about Ukraine's NATO membership.

Jill Stein serving Putin in elections and peddling his propaganda lies. She's a fascist tool, not a Green.

How to spot pro-Kremlin accounts They never mention Kremlin influence ops, just US ones; silent on Russian regime change ops & wars, not US ones (Iraq’s the only one this century) - despite Russia’s current massive attack on Europe, & madly successful regime change op in the US. Etc. Happy hunting

every day the double standard just gets more and more unbearable Tim Pool and Dave Rubin were getting paid millions of dollars by the literal Kremlin to produce Russian propaganda meanwhile there are people on the left running exposés on Pakman taking a DNC check fucking kill me dude

A reminder for the “Ukraine is a proxy” crowd which has come out of the woodwork again. Whatever propaganda the Russo-Trumpian alliance now tries to push, the truth is that Europe follows and backs Ukraine, it doesn’t set the goals or the tone.

Maria Popova@popovaprof.bsky.social

Telling Ukrainians, as some Westerners do, that Ukr resists Ru's invasion mainly because the West forced or tricked them into it is as outrageously offensive and as ridiculously stupid as telling a woman she resists rape not to protect herself and her dignity but to conform to societal expectations.

Day 1284. I am in the heaviest battle of Pokrovsk, Donetsk, East Ukraine. This is my combat gear and my weapon. It does not shoot, but it delivers A LOT of pain to Russian invaders. With this weapon, they have nowhere to hide. I am Ukrainian Soldier. That’s what I go through 🧵

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that USAID is officially shutting down. As The Insider has reported, this move will affect millions of people worldwide, hindering efforts to fight malaria, end child hunger, and prevent the spread of HIV

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

I nailed the Trump-Putin summit in advance, enough I'm not writing something new. "It makes no sense as statecraft. Except Trump wasn’t acting in America’s national interest, he was acting for himself.... a photo op with a world figure he considers important, both for ego and domestic propaganda."

thebulwark.comThe Real Reason for the Alaska SummitIt’s sure not because Trump cares about the suffering of the Ukrainian people.

Wild how people casually discuss that Ukraine should give away lands to russia. Occupation is not peace. It's: torture chambers, abductions, murders, mobilization into invading army, kids trafficking, indoctrination, rape, looting, and many more crimes. Supporting russia means cheering genocide.

If the rest of the free world doesn't step it up dramatically, we will, without question, be governed by Might Makes Right by the group of anti-western, anti-democratic states. Our world will crumble before our eyes if we do not save it. It's worth saving. 2/2

Putin is a wanted war criminal. The ICC issued a warrant for his arrest. And this evil, wanted, genocidal, authoritarian war criminal has still been invited to meet with the President of the United States, and on U.S. soil no less. The rules-based order is dead. 1/2

The Russian government is trafficking Ukrainian children. A searchable database with the children's photos, eye color, hair color, age, gender, and propensity for obedience is available on an official Russian government website.
