She has been covering the Ukraine war for years, relentlessly portraying the toll, sometimes pushing back on narratives fired up by the Trump admin and its acolytes. Her name is Shelby Wilder. And she’s a full time correspondent for .. Newsmax. My column in CJR www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

The pro-russian German neo-Nazi party has been hacked by a Ukrainian living in America. It does not really come as a surprise that the email correspondence clearly shows that AfD members have apparently been paid by the russians. (source: Die Zeit, and mdEP Erik Marquardt)

Oh huh. Jared is a ME asset. Or was, before he didn't protect his paymasters from Iran. [Note, the name of Tom Barrack is not in this piece, but he would be central to this arrangement, which is probably why he was so sure Trump approved of his own graft.] www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Election Day is coming up on Tuesday, November 3. While the Democratic nominees for high-profile positions are expected to cruise to victory, other races down the ballot are still up in the air, @alexkoma.bsky.social reports. Here's what you need to know:

"I am confident that Iran's cause, like Russia's, is a just cause" -Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, yesterday Rubbing it in our faces. Dog walking the US president for all to see. And still Trump kisses up to Russia, apes their propaganda, and tries to help their aggression succeed.

react in condemnation and real action . But we are all so numbed out by all the horrors , so exhausted , it’s actually scary .

This is the hospital in Kyiv that Russian attack hit today . For the second time . This time , attack hit the operating room - you are looking at it . A patient was wounded . You’d think I should be furious . You’d think world must

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy.... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — Dr. Gustave Gilbert, U.S. Military Chief Psychologist in the Nuremberg Trials, Nuremberg Diary

A russian drone burned people alive in a car as they were driving down the road, despite others desperately trying to rescue them. For Trump, his admin, AfD, and other moral bankrupts, this is just fine. For everyone who hasn't sold their soul for blood-soaked rubles, this is horrifying terrorism.

Modelspeak may be a little worse than the typical cliché, in fact, because it makes the reader wonder whether there is any speaker — and that profoundly undermines communication.

I'm on the other side of this one, actually. Style counts. If people can hear modelspeak in your prose, it weakens the effect in the same way overusing clichés weakens the effect. I don't care *how* you get there, but if an editor says "this doesn't sound fresh and authentic," you have a problem.

The imperialist meeting of the minds in russia and the US is open, explicit and despicable but also pathetic— obviously despite Tuberville, Trump and Putin’s bravado, the people of Ukraine have been thwarting imperialist plans for their country for over a decade now.

As we said in March, blocking the Internet Archive is like newspapers telling physical libraries they’re no longer allowed to collect past issues. Whatever happens in AI-copyright disputes, publishers shouldn’t make libraries collateral damage.

Right now, Russia is striking Kyiv with ballistic missiles. Zelensky says that, once again, there was no warning from our partners. It looks like the Trump administration did, in fact, order a halt to intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

Bulgarian PM’s reaction to the second incident of this kind tells you why Putin is expanding his attacks on Europe. Radev summoned the Ru ambassador but didnt call Russia an aggressor. Instead his strategy is to keep blaming “the war” for these incidents. Then he profusely explains how even though…

what a cheeky question!

So I checked Russian media this morning, and the war criminals seem to be laying the groundwork to use chemical weapons against Ukrainians again. Specifically in Kramatorsk & Sloviansk

Weiß nicht, ob ihr das mitbekommen habt. Hab vergangenen Freitag hat es in einer Schule in Frankfurt gebrannt. Im betroffenen Gebäudeteil waren Hilfgüter für die Ukraine gelagert. Die Kriminalpolizei geht von vorsätzlicher Brandstiftung aus. 1/2

I’m a drip in social situations because I keep pointing out that our government is run by fascist traitors and people give me a “yeah, we know” look and act disappointed that I can’t recommend any funny streaming series.
