I wrote this thing. It has been in my mind for many years, and I am glad I finally managed to bring it out. www.essentiafoundation.org/reaching-acr...

A video appeared on Russian "Z-blogs" that reportedly shows a drone hitting a roof in Kherson just as civilians were repairing it. Russian bastards.

🚨NEW: This is horrific. Musk & DOGE closed the specialist unit at Yale tracking down Ukrainian children kidnapped & stolen by Russia. HOWEVER, it now emerges the entire database may have been DELETED, destroying years of research needed to find missing children. If so, there should be arrests.

The fact I bombed residential apartment blocks last night shows how much Ukraine doesn't want peace.

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce Russia’s main narratives and explain how they are being spread online by Russian operatives and MAGA Republicans. After three years of war, Russia still relies on old narratives, now amplified by the Trump administration. 1/25

You voted for a corrupt sexual predator who assaulted multiple women and even admitted it on tape. What did you think would happen?

DOGE savings (WSJ): $2.6b TSLA subsidies (10 years): $15b Annual increase in deficit: $900b Cuts to Medicare: $880b

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

"The goalposts for DOGE have silently moved from finding fraud and corruption to simply pointing out and cancelling government programs that Trump and Republicans simply don’t support." -- @justinglawe.bsky.social

New in PN: Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud "With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities."

No one on Earth has a "warm" opinion of the American government except Russia.

russia and kgb-man putin are expert at props and fakery. The tradition of the Potemkin Village never stops.

❗️🙏 Ukrainian soldiers have little faith in a quick end to the war or peace in general amid Trump's latest statements. They feel betrayed, - CNN

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Where are Obama, Bush, and Clinton when the new president is trying to destroy all the institutions of the democratic country? The US opposition needs leadership more than ever.

I never get the question: "Merien, how do I know if I'm at a Nazi rally?". Mainly because people know. People do not find themselves at Nazi rallies by accident. But in case you're wondering, here are some clues.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

Just a reminder to people that are uninformed 👇 Spread it

Maybe Trump is trying the same strategy for the American Administration: have the shittiest team ever so that in the next government he gets high draft picks.

The brutal awakening of the EU: "In internal discussions in Brussels, some diplomats are directly broaching a notion that was once unthinkable: that the U.S. leadership is finding common ground with Russia in seeking to destroy the EU." www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Sometimes you need the expressivity of a tabloid.
