Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds

[Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud]

Here's how you "came here legally" before 1928. It was a 2-step process:
1) You got born white
2) You bought a goddamn ticket
That was it.
So, when people say they have nothing against "legal immigration", but that the country should belong to "real Americans", it's always racism

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Askold's Grave.

Honored the memory of the Heroes of Kruty – the young men who, over 100 years ago, held back the Bolshevik advance on Kyiv. A feat that each of us must remember, understanding the price of our freedom.

And our heroes who defended our country against Russian aggression. Mark Paslavskyi, Oleksandr Klitynskyi, Dmytro Kotsiubailo, Andrii Pilschykov, Pavlo Petrychenko. They all fought for Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence. Our nation continues to fight for its future – a future that will undoubtedly be peaceful and secure for all our people.

Eternal memory to the Heroes of Kruty.
Eternal memory to all our heroes who gave their lives defending Ukraine.

1/n I’ve been writing/speaking about a growing convergence between antiscience & antisemitism. Not only on X, but also emails sent to me, swastikas mailed to my home.

2 major themes:

1. The “plandemic” that we made the SARS-2 virus or H5N1

2. Covid vaccine is the “Jew Jab”

Criticizing a person for reading books may be the most American phenomenon ever.

Timothy Snyder "Imagine that you are a foreign leader who wishes to destroy the United States.  How could you do so?  The easiest way would be to get Americans to do the work themselves, to somehow induce Americans to undo their own health, law, administration, defense, and intelligence.  From this perspective, Trump's proposed appointments -- Kennedy, Jr.; Gaetz; Musk; Ramaswamy; Hegseth; Gabbard -- are perfect instruments.  They combine narcissism, incompetence, corruption, sexual incontinence, personal vulnerability, dangerous convictions, and foreign influence as no group before them has done.  These proposed appointments look like a decapitation strike: destroying the American government from the top, leaving the body politic to rot, and the rest of us to suffer.
I do not defend the status quo. I have no doubt whatsoever that the Department of Defense and the Food and Drug Administration require reform.  But such a reform, of these or other agencies, would have to be guided by people with knowledge and experience, who cared about their country, and who had a vision of improvement.  That is simply not what is happening here.  We are confronted instead with a group of people who, were they to hold the positions they have been assigned, could bring an end to the United States of America."

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

On the day Rabin was killed, he sang the “Song for Peace” at a rally in Tel Aviv. When the assassins bullet hit him, his blood splattered on the lyrics of the song. The stain has never come off. That day, peace died. That day the Israel I grew up in died. The one with compassion and hope. I miss it.

[Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud]

Unbelievable!!! Russia has poured all the money it could into buying this election. They've bussed and flown thousands of Moldovan citizens working in Russia to the polls.
And still, Moldovans resist.
👏👏👏

Omg they did a male version of the ‘secret vote’ ad and it’s even better than the female version.

Stories over the last few days that the press has barely touched:

•Musk promises economic hardship if Trump is elected
•Top Trump official says they’ll pull vaccines
•House speaker promises to repeal the ACA
•Trump struggles physically to climb into a garbage truck

[Bleeding Heartland @LauraRBelin]

A tacit admission that when Republicans call for removing alleged "non-citizen" voters (some of whom are actually citizens), they expect that to result in a purge of people who are not white.

@froomkin Opinion | "Americans don't trust the news media. Here's how my interference with the editorial board days before a crucial election on the day I met Trump about my rocket venture was accidental but completely fixed that."

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

So @elonmusk and his PAC deleted this C Word tweet. Let's not forget about it. Let's show everyone by VOTING FOR @KAMALAHARRIS that we reject that kind of language and hate.

Georgian elections going absolutely Russian as regime thugs stuff ballot boxes then beat up a guy that tries to film it.
