For us in Europe, there are 3 options:

Option 1: Fight Putin

Option 2: Live under his boot

Option 3: Live in his behind

If you choose none of the above it equals Option 2.

Rest of the #FreeWorld: Replace Putin's name with the autocrat who gets to your country first.

Truth, my ass!

Simonyan and RT are war criminals for their crucial contributions to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine!

They belong in front of judges in The Hague!

Anton Gerashchenko @antongerashchenko.bsky.social · 4d

Putin thanked Russian propagandist Simonyan and the Russia Today team for "boldly and persistently upholding the truth in the global information space."

Die Meldung im ZEIT-Podcast das Politikteil von diesem Do:

„Die Klimakrise meldet sich zurück.“

Nein, @ileanagrabitz.bsky.social & Peter Dausend, die Krise war nie weg, ihr habt das nur seit längerem, ua. auch BT-Wahlkampf 2025 ignoriert.

Aber klar, schön, dass Ihr zurück in der Debatte seid.

Liebe Leute,

Können wir es schaffen, dass der Hashtag #AlternativeFürRussland trendet bzw über 1.000 Mal auf den großen Social Media Plattformen genutzt wird?

Und dass das eine bekannte Bezeichnung für die AfD wird?

Beste Grüße

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

I never really did that in my entire positioning, but X, Bluesky, etc force one to be very short.

Besides, when I spoke with Estonians about the Southeast, they pointed out the terrain is too swampy to be suitable. Or a lake. Which, in my opinion, is still no guarantee that it's safe there, though.

Budapest is a power demonstration & humiliation for us Europeans by Putin, Trump & Orban (who also gets election advertising).

In addition,governments of countries overflown (PL,RO,BG,?) are duped.Probably half a dozen Putin planes,each carrying a kids choir, will be flying.

Budapest ist eine Machtdemonstration und Demütigung für uns Europäer von Putin, Trump und Orban.

Und Wahlwerbung für Orban.

Außerdem werden die Regierungen der überflogenen Länder, z.B. PL, RO, BG düpiert. Wahrscheinlich fliegt halbes Dutzend Putin-Flieger mit je 1 Kinderchor.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Then NATO has to force them back out, probably with military means or what is left of NATO is dead.

One opportunity to do it would be before, during or after exercises planned in Belarus this year."

Me on X on 9 May 2025:

"That's why Eastern Estonia and Eastern Latvia with their high numbers of Russian-speakers are most at risk of a Crimean or Donbas scenario of going in just 5-50 km into these countries, stopping and demanding a referendum in these mostly Russian-speaking regions (...).

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Erschreckende Doku über die Remigrationspläne der Ultrarechten.

Erschreckenderweise ist es ja nicht nur die AfD, es gibt auch sehr viele kleinere Organisationen, wie die Identitären oder die HJ, die sich ständig umbenennen muss, weil sie ständig verboten wird.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️
