European democracies are under attack from Russia in the east and MAGA from the west. Populists are undermining civil society from within. Ukraine is the epicenter of a conflict we cannot afford to lose.

Too funny...

I think, however, the Epstein Files is a bigger enemy than Portland.

Relevant. Kirk søkte ikke debatt, han søkte konfrontasjon, radikalisering og å true folk til stillhet og underkastelse.

Charlie Kirk var en fascistisk bølle.
Charlie Kirk never cared about debates.

A quite accurate cartoon from 1956 with the exception of the Jim Crow laws in the southern states.

Not as accurate with regards to the US under Trump today.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

A useful clarification.
We’re looking forward to it too‼️

Skuffende at norske riksmedier ukritisk tar inn en NTB artikkel som tror at Musks beskrivelse av Trump's budsjettpakke som Porky Pig Party kan oversettes til griseparti.

Pork i denne sammenhengen handler om "valgflesk" til de som stemmer for pakken.

Konflikten i Donbass 2014–2022 var en stedfortredende mellomstatlig krig mellom Russland og Ukraina, ikke en intern ukrainsk borgerkrig.

De skjebnesvangre hendelsene på Krim og i Donbass i februar-april 2014 var ikke lokale opprør, fredelige overføringer av territorium til Russland eller tilfeldige reaksjoner på ukrainske provokasjoner.

Next birthday Trump will be better off hiring a court jester to entertain his entourage.

Luckily for us there still are some 98 year old WWII veterans who remembers why and how we need to combat fascism in its purest forms.

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

True words, spoken by a true Russian patriot.
“The homeland is not the president's ass. Putin is not the homeland, the State Duma is not the homeland, and the criminals who are now killing Ukrainians are not the homeland either. I love my homeland — a peaceful Russia that harms no one. But that country no longer exists.”

There will be many more I told you so’s ahead. Humans may be the smartest species on the planet, but we are not immune to being seduced by even the most obvious scumbags.
I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.
