We are really cursed with the most cruel and mean spirited in the positions of leadership across the board. Small, bitter, angry men that should have gone to therapy before making their lack of humanity a problem for all of humanity.

We are Jews. We don’t make jokes about these things. We don’t dehumanize like this. Shame on Gvir. This is the type of commentary the Nazis would have made about us. Shame.

*Prigozhin got indignant and rebelled because the Russian military was shelling his bases and liquidating his slave ex-prisoner-fighters *He didn't mind the Ukrainians killing his men, but having his own side killing them was too much for him *Later Prigozhin got killed by Russians himself

OTD in 1996 Russia signed the Khasavyurt Accords which ended 1st Chechen War on unfavorable terms. Almost exactly 3 years later we staged false flags to justify tearing the agreement up to start the 2nd Chechen War. We used the time to get ready to attack again. Which should not sound familair.

Yep nobody likes to listen to the post-Soviet people’s Cassandra warnings but we’ve been ahead of the curve for a while. Actually posted a little video that refers to it (caption is more informative than the vid tho): vt.tiktok.com/ZSVGEsuvL/

What if the account making you furious shares a payroll with the account cheering you on? The argument looks spontaneous. The outrage was commissioned. Soviet intelligence called its covert influence operations “active measures”: forged documents, planted stories, front organizations and political manipulation designed to fracture an adversary from within. Conversion was optional. Cynicism, nihilism and demoralization did the work. In Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible, Peter Pomerantsev documented how this machinery evolved under Putin. Vladislav Surkov, his political strategist, blurred the boundaries between power and opposition. Pomerantsev called it “a strategy of power based on keeping any opposition there may be constantly confused, a ceaseless shape-shifting that is unstoppable because it’s indefinable.” Disorientation is the point. Opposing extremes can be amplified by the same operator. The apparent choices multiply while the space for constructive action collapses. Competing explanations pile up until establishing reality feels exhausting and acting on it feels futile. Steve Bannon called it “flood the zone with shit.” It is cheaper to bury a fact than to disprove it. Every verified account enters a race against an unlimited supply of counterfeits. Generative AI turns that race into an industrial production line, compressing much of the old content machinery into a prompt, producing endless variations of plausible unreality, tailored to different languages, identities and grievances. One operator can test hundreds of narratives and amplify whichever version finds the fracture. Private influence firms recruit contractors, click-farm workers and paid influencers across borders. Many have no ideological investment in the cause. Your outrage is someone’s day job. Cognitive warfare works like a societal autoimmune disorder: defenses turn inward and misidentify the body’s own cells as the threat. A population fighting itself does not have to be invaded. It can surrender its interests from within while remaining convinced that every choice was entirely its own. No one can privately outlearn a market that industrializes confusion. Lifelong education and information literacy are severely undervalued forms of civil defense. When people recover the ability to know what is happening, they recover the ability to change what happens next. #CognitiveWarfare #StrategicDisinformation #GenerativeAI #HybridWarfare #InformationLiteracy

The measles vaccine created herd immunity that kept infants and immunocompromised people safe. They’re relying on us to protect them, and we are failing. All the little gravestones of kids who died before the vaccine should serve as a warning. Get vaccinated. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Infant in Pennsylvania is one of two people reported to die of measles this week

The deaths were the first associated with measles in the state in 35 years.

They want you to adapt to the “banality” of death because that death is supposed to be happening to “others” But Climate change is a series of videos you watch on your phone that get closer and closer and closer until you're the one filming your own demise

People can "just adapt" to a changing climate, a thousand rightwing voices keep telling us. Either they lack imagination or they don't care. Try "adapting" to this. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

There’s explosive diarrhea lettuce Screwworm in the beef Blueberries that will kill you Measles cases at a record high Now there’s fibreglass in IV saline. De-regulation kills. And it kills the disabled and elderly the fastest. This was always the plan. Wake up.

RFK Jr.’s new drive to get us off anti-depressants brings home the vast number of death’s he’s already been personally responsible for, and the sheer amount of suffering. I believe that he alone, even among the crew he’s a part of, will be remembered as something other than, worse than, a villain.
