OTD in 2016 Gorbachev stated quite categorically that he never received a promise by NATO not to admit new members to the alliance.
He said the idea that Russia was betrayed is a myth. Which triggers my trolls.

Classic authoritarian logic: corrupt people by giving them an incentive to do the wrong thing. In 1933 and 1938, years of major assaults on targeted groups, the Nazis forgave the debt of other Germans to bind them to the regime.

Not sure how to read this as anything other than Trump's handpicked Director of National Intelligence betraying the United States and doing so to protect him from revelation of the fact that his regime is secretly working with a hostile foreign intelligence agency
NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump
Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

If I had any skill in video production I would do it myself, but I really don't. So I'm just saying that as the creator of this song it is free for anyone to do with as they want as long as they credit the source.
I know many are trying to figure out how to get the word out.

I know I'm biased here, and that this is self-aggrandizing, but having taught digital comms for years, I'm pretty sure that if someone made a montage of images and events from Minneapolis and set it to this song—which everyone is free to use—it'd go viral on TikTok and Instagram.
I hope you will share this. It’s a message about Minnesota that ICE and MAGAs need to hear. (It can also be shared on any streaming platform.)

I think they know the country has turned against MAGA and they are desperate.
This is the moment like in the 60s when Americans saw fire hoses, dogs and cops beating peaceful black Americans.
Now we are seeing ICE kidnap children, women, mass detention, executing white people.
We are rejecting it.

Trump and Epstein were sex-predator pals for 14 years, per the evidence.
The Epstein Files show Epstein's planned defense for abusing thousands of women and kids was that they were all "prostitutes" he paid.
Know who else has a history of trying to turn sex into *prostitution*?

So depressing.
Jimmy Carter had us on track to end dependency on fossil fuels in the 70s. Energy money poured into Reagan and got him elected. It would have been a much better world had we re-elected Carter.

Note: Over on Xitter Laura Rozen wonders if the person is Ric Grenell, which would like up with a bunch of things (including current urgency).
The Guardian has a rough outline of what the Tulsi whistleblower complaint is about: NSA found someone close to Trump in contact with foreign intelligence, and rather than doing something about that, Tulsi brought the report to Susie Wiles.
