People have to come to terms with the fact Trump confuses diplomacy for capitulation. He's posting this because he thinks it's a victory.
Trump posts what appears to be a private text message sent to him by Macron

what i really want to know is when the atlantic will start taking the pedocon scandal seriously. it would be a mistake for them to dodge it
It would be a mistake for Democrats to dodge the welfare-fraud scandal in Minnesota—people “leading the fight against fraud are not those who want to dismantle the social safety net, but those who want to keep it,” James Surowiecki argues.
Democrats Need to Take Welfare Fraud Seriously
Safeguarding the social safety net is essential for keeping it.

Putin and Orban invited to the Gaza Peace Board while tariffs are placed on NATO members, Ukraine is deliberately starved of air defense missiles & millions are without power in the dead of winter.

What they need is raw milk and podcasters running their counter-intelligence. Freedom from vaccine tyranny. Lonsdale building them an anti-woke university to deprogram them from mind viruses.
WELKER: Why is it necessary to do something 85% of Greenlanders oppose?

BESSENT: Denmark has a terrible history w/ Greenlanders. There were forced sterilizations until the '90s. Now that the US has expressed an interest, there is this new interest. But the US needs to be in control to prevent a war

And if you think a general strike is logistically impossible but starting a civil war and winning isn't, you're so far disconnected from reality that your opinions are meaningless, because everything that's hard about pulling off a general strike is orders of magnitude harder about winning a war.

This tweet has massive engagement and people arguing in the replies without a single person stopping to check if Putin even said this. He didn’t. The OP spreading it is an American white nationalist.

As we’re remembering Jan Palach today, I’ll add that I’ve been collecting the names of the people who, like him, self-immolated in protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. It is a remarkably long and international list of people… there shall be a memorial to all of them one day

David Miller effectively calling for the murder of Jafar Panahi wasn’t surprising nor unexpected but still left me feeling such a wave of revulsion.

It's not always the Russians but it sure is weird how often the Russians are involved
The Russian intelligence services intervene aggressively to attack a website that leaked the names of new ICE hires, proving that Kristi Noem was aggressively recruiting and deploying Jan 6 rioters, including the head of the Proud Boys, a violent white supremacist group.
Website that leaked info about ICE agents is down after ‘cyberattack,’ founder says
Founder of ICE List believes the ‘sophisticated’ cyberattack could have originated in Russia

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.

He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.

(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

"Forever with Moscow, Forever with the Russian people". Soviet poster dedicated to the 400th anniversary of Circassia's "voluntary annexation" to Russia, 1957.

I dwell on this poster a lot. Using an accord with Bashkir elites in 1557 to rewrite Russian conquest & genocide in 19th century Circassia.

The ADL’s strategy here seems to be, “No one else cares about Jews, so we don’t have to care about them.” Even if you agree that other groups do not care about Jews, the sheer numbers make this an unwise bet.

“I have sworn to heal the wounds of my nation! How could I let my poor brothers decay? If in this dark night my people must burn, let my own heart burn like their eyes and be extinguished!”

Will Stancil or Noman Çelebicihan?
Will Stancil really does have the exact type of personality that ends up leading revolutions, and I mean that in both the most laudatory and derogatory senses possible, including the fact that he would inevitably get purged after six months because of his inability to ever compromise or back down.

Almost every Ukrainian female friend I have has a story about some Western dude who tried to impress her with his middle class suburban lifestyle and slinked away when it became apparent this was totally ineffective.
