Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.
There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.
If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."
The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.
There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.
There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.
It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.
That needs to change. And fast.
Up until 10 years ago, such brazen racism would have ended the career of even the most rightwing politician.
Today you can be president. We are in a very dark place as a country.
Trump came to Tennessee, called me out by name, and brought my career politician opponent on stage.
Brent Taylor won’t debate. He’s running on bringing Trump’s failed agenda to Tennessee. And they are scared.

Here's a close-up version of the goddamn champ who disrupted Trump's Syracuse rally, gave the president both middle fingers, and told the crowd off as they pulled her out of the venue.

Donald Trump disgraced America today. He disgraced valor. He has sided with invaders, the killers and the rapists of Russia.
Trump is a weak coward who got 5 deferments from Vietnam and who loves and worships Russia and Putin imo and is not loyal to USA.
President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

I LOVE the fact that trump didn't win a Nobel Peace Prize.
I LOVE the fact that a woman, Navi Pillay, won it instead.
I LOVE that she's a Woman of color.
I LOVE that she clowned him.
I LOVE that she deserves it.🙏❤️
I LOVE that maga is mad about it.🤣
HUGE: President Obama has endorsed Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor in Georgia.
“As a former judge, councilmember, and mayor, Keisha believes that public service is about putting you first.
Georgia, make your voice heard and vote Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor.”
🚨FINALLY: A man finally stands at a microphone and predicts precisely what will happen in this morning. ICE, DHS, and the Trump administration will lie on this man to cover up the inhumanity occurring in our country whose soul has been amputated by a group of rich PDF files.🔥🇺🇸
Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.
BREAKING: @WillieNelson endorses James Talarico:
“I've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico.“
Bernie Sanders: “Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, spent almost $300M to help elect Trump. Now he’s gonna spend $200M to try to keep Republican control over the House and the Senate and other Republican billionaires are coming in. Does anybody in their right mind think that is democracy? That is oligarchy and that is every reason in the world why you have to make sure that Republicans do not continue to control the House and the Senate”
Today, Russia expressed its thanks for the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. As of now, sadly, twelve people have been confirmed killed, including three children. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another fourteen people have been injured, and two of them are in critical condition – the doctors are fighting to save their lives. The status of twelve more people who may have been there is still being verified. All emergency services are at the scene, and search-and-rescue operations are underway. Overnight, thirteen of our regions came under attack. Residential buildings, infrastructure, and railway facilities have been damaged.
Last night confirmed once again that in Russia, they take any easing of pressure to mean they can keep fighting, to mean they can keep dropping bombs on cities. Different signals are needed. Russia must understand that it needs to stop the war, and for that to happen, Russia must feel its losses. Right now, it is our long-range capabilities that are ensuring this. And we will respond to Russian strikes. I thank everyone who is helping.
Here is racist POS Republican & fake ‘man of the people’ @SenJohnKennedy saying today in Michigan that @AbdulElSayed goes to sleep in a ‘Bin Laden jersey’. The racism & incitement is off the charts. @MikeRogersForMI just chuckles.
Michigan deserves better than a rebranded KKK.
The level of income and wealth inequality in the U.S. is beyond insane.
The top 0.00001% (just 20 households) now owns over $4 trillion — more than 12 times the wealth of the bottom 50% COMBINED.
We must defeat oligarchy. Billionaire wealth tax NOW.
