I'd just like to mention that violence is a means of communication. I am signaling my intentions and conveying my very clear stance on the matter by sending a JDAM through a Russian soldier's head.

We're going to bombard Russian positions with strongly worded letters. We will demarche the Russian logistics lines until their military is immobile. Their ballistic missile capabilities will be overwhelmed by how many non-papers we leave behind. WHY THE FUCK DID NOBODY THINK OF THIS

This is the part where all the DSA boosters tell us that we don't actually care about Ukraine, we just say we care about it so we can use their dogshit opinions as a club to hit them with because caring about foreign policy issues isn't a real thing liberals do

The problem with Megan Romer is less that she's a tankie and more that she's genuinely very stupid.

Romer is saying this because she knows that her real views about what ought to happen to the innocents of Ukraine are far too extreme and too ugly for a podcast.

I went looking for old anti-vaccine propaganda and expected an interesting historical curiosity. Instead I found arguments from 1802, 1885 and 1920 that would barely need rewriting to circulate online today. That raises a rather disconcerting question.

Worth remembering, russia played a decisive role in keeping Alexander Lukashenko in power during the 2020–2021 Belarusian pro-democracy protests. While russian troops didn't fight on the streets en masse, Moscow provided critical political, financial, media, and security backing. 🧵 1/7

Six years ago today, Belarusians took to the streets after a stolen election to demand the right to choose their own future. The regime answered them with violence, arrests, and repression, but it could not erase their demand for freedom.

1982 "The Soviet Union is a large country with a powerful economy and rich resources. So, it will survive all these blockades and sanctions" It collapsed 9 years later. russia has been under sanctions for 4 years, sanctions are growing and russia is no USSR

One problem is, that this short form makes taking on complex themes difficult and, honestly tedious. And macro economic post tends to get less popularity than 'big fire ball good'. But I'll take on one of the many interlinked ones and expand on Wildberries from tax angle, 🧵 1/12

Day 1621 of Ukraine's battle for survival. This is the 55th month in which the Ukrainians have had to defend their territory, language, literature, culture and freedom. Russia though is also feeling the realities of war. This is the daily thread.

russia fuels immigration crisis (we don't have proof for Morocco but we do for Belarus) then russian media and bot networks amplify the fearmongering. Then russia funds populist far-right political parties. And we keep falling for it. Banning russian media won't be a silver bullet but it would help!

ok i'm going to regret asking this but can anyone direct me to a not-racist or, failing that, least-racist explanation of what the hell is going on with Ceuta?

One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.

If those are accurate numbers… Holy shit. That’s bad.

2 russian cruise missiles in Polish airspace confirmed "I can confirm that we do indeed have a threat of airstrikes. This information comes directly from the Government Security Center. It is credible and confirmed," Marcin Bubicz, spokesman for the Lublin Voivode, told Wirtualna Polska.

And then you discover that German anti-nuclear movement was funded by then USSR from 1970s and by russia after 90s and it makes grim kind of sense when former chancellor joins both Rosneft, and Gazprom boards. From the bottom and the top
