Loving the frogs 🐸 as an interested observer from Australia I'm hoping to see many millions of frogs & other characters turning out on Saturday's NoKings. No autocrats, no dictators, no fascists.

For several weeks now, I've been focusing much more on news about Russian attacks on Ukrainian hinterlands than on events on the frontline. Perhaps I can briefly explain why this is happening. Firstly, the AFU is effectively halting the long-announced Russian offensive,

I wonder how many of these murders are the product of paranoia, deterrence or actual preparations to defect from, or subvert the regime.
