Putin is a psychopath.

Any American still giving praise, aid & comfort to this self-declared enemy of the US is a traitor.

This small madman is an enemy to all those in the world who value life & liberty.

Strength & prayers to the ppl of Ukraine. 💪🇺🇦🙏🇺🇦🕊

Chilling close from #Putin, clearly aimed at the U.S. & #NATO:

“A couple words for those who would be tempted to intervene. #Russia will respond immediately & you’ll have consequences that you’ve never had in your history.”

This “special” is bizarre even for Russian state TV. Equal parts plea & threat (🤔)…but all yikes & cringe.

The American right is a brittle coalition led by a handful of plutocrats who have convinced a large number of turkeys to vote for Christmas.

Perlstein says that these conflicts, blank spots and contradictions are the *most* important parts of Project 2025. They are the *fracture lines* in the coalition: the conflicting ideas that have enough support that neither side can triumph over the other.

@NaomiAKlein @hamiltonnolan What's more, repelling fascism is what workers' movements *do*. The business community will always sell you out to the Nazis in exchange for low taxes, cheap labor and loose regulation.

The American right has, since the founding of the Republic, been bent on creating a system of hereditary aristocrats, who govern without "interference" from democratic institutions.

24. Joe Biden and the Dems saved the economy and made it the envy of the world. They pulled us out of a pandemic that killed a million of us. They brought prosperity back to the “left behind” counties. They tamed inflation without triggering a ruinous recession.

23. Lies, propaganda and disinformation are coming from all corners of the globe, including from places like Russia, China and Iran, but the clearinghouse here is the GOP and the rightwing media apparatus.

The global economy is about to be fucked up in ways that will have economists and historians studying the aftermath for generations to come. People have no idea. Those with savings and equities are most at risk.

1/13 Trump's Secret Administration: south african billionaire oligarchs, with backing from russia and china, have succeeded in seizing control over the United States, and the majority of Americans are totally indifferent! How dumb can they be?

[Justin Baragona @justinbaragona]

It is an absolute certainty that Trump will immediately boast about the economy when he gets in office -- taking credit for low unemployment, shrinking inflation, and a surging stock market that he had nothing to do with.

Central City News is a Republican ran news paper in Baton Rouge and they are saying the quiet part out loud. They believe they can elect a white Republican as mayor because the Black voter turnout is so low. They are looking at the same data I shared last week.

I’ve been telling you the numbers because the power is there for us to make the difference.

I believe you seeing this is important. It shows you the thinking of people who are voting Republican in this community think about you not voting. They see it as an opportunity. If voting didn’t matter, why are they breaking records to show up?

The person in the mayors office determines what policing in your city looks like, they determine the budget priorities of the city, they set the agenda for where things are going.

Everything we don’t have, is because we aren’t engaging at the numbers we need to. You can’t change a city, with only 30% of the majority population showing up to vote.

Baton Rouge can be so much better, we have to show up for better to happen.

Take the 5 minutes to listen and then take 10 more to text your people and encourage them to go vote tomorrow. We can prove them wrong.

Louisiana is not a red state, it’s an under funded, low voter participation state. Show up for yourself tomorrow, that’s how we make people pay attention and invest so we can see the change we desire.

Share, tag, and engage your people. And go vote!

This a report by a local witness of what is happening now in occupied Selydove. A standard modus operandi of the russians in the Donetsk region:

3/What Musk means when he talks about “hardships” is that populations are going to be reduced to eating cat food and if they don’t like it, they’ll be kept in line by American troops. And if you don’t believe this is their intention, you are a fool.

[Dr Nafeez Ahmed @NafeezAhmed]

We are talking about full-scale collapse of American society as we know it. Not only dismantlement and reengineering of the federal govt into an autocratic militarised-security regime, but the total gutting of the economy. This is the Musk-Trump plan /15 https://t.co/XaSeNjFt7z

[Dr Nafeez Ahmed @NafeezAhmed]

Taking into account the systemic knock-on effects on multiple industries and sectors, mass deportations of 20 million undocumented migrants (real number is likely about half) combined with slashing 2 trillion budget would destroy 25% of US GDP /6 https://t.co/XaSeNjEVi1

[Dr Nafeez Ahmed @NafeezAhmed]

The Musk-Trump deportation plan represents an industrial-scale national programme whose only real antecedent is Nazi Germany. It would require a national network of mass detention camps, and mechanisms of mass deportation. In the 1930s, as Hitler came to power, he wanted to deport Jews for economic productivity. Only later he adopted a final solution to exterminate them on Nazi territory when mass deportation was impossible due to British and Soviet resistance. Think about this carefully. This is a proposal to create ethnically-targeted concentration camps and ethnic cleansing routes. /8

“I hope that Jewish settlement will begin in most of the Gush Katif region and the former city of Gaza, that the Gazans will be concentrated in a very defined area and live as refugees their whole lives without water or electricity until they decide, of their own accord, to emigrate—preferably to Europe or Canada—and that in another 10 years, there will be a new 7/10 there”

3/The thing that is most cause for concern is they are all coordinating the attack simultaneously, in total defiance of the law, such that they will have no recourse when they lose. Which means they don’t intend to lose, and indeed can’t.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

5/Is this any worse than in 2020? Yes, by orders of magnitude. Then, only fringe players were “all in” on the madness; now it’s billionaires brazenly breaking the law, backed by hostile foreign powers. Again, they can’t afford to lose. And we can’t afford to let them win.
