Ukraine gave up its nuclear arms and made a pact they would be protected, the Budapest Memorandum. Russia broke that in ‘14 when it invaded Ukraine and stole Crimea.

So, the lesson I see here is if you don’t want to be invaded, you probably need a nuclear deterrent.

Yeppers. I think since Russia invaded Crimea, that has been the conclusion of countries not wishing to be invaded. Arm up or lose your sovereignty.

“(JOURNALISTIC) MADNESS: When "Catturd" launched a bogus claim...Citizen Musk affirmed it: Is something "wrong" with Elon Musk? How about with Donald J. Trump?

To our eye and to our ear, Musk has the possible feel of a stone-cold nut, with the commander not far behind. Under current arrangements, major American journalists may be required to pretend that they haven't quite read the same vibe”

Looks like you and everyone else gets to experience existential dread waiting every month to see if a means of support they paid into most of their lives is going to show up. :(

“Just over a year ago, I described how Twitter had been used as a way to sow false claims in support of Trump in 2016 and 2020.

I described how, in 2016, trolls professionalized their efforts, with the early contribution of Daily Stormer webmaster Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer. I quoted testimony from Microchip, a key cooperating co-conspirator at Douglass Mackey’s trial, describing how he took unoffensive content stolen…”

Project 2025 in action right here at the State level in Alabama. When the fascists win, IVF will no longer be available to anyone except politically connected high level fascists. Because that’s how fascism works folks.

In Florida Project2025 being played out in real time by the State threatening to throw employees of television stations into jail if that station runs a factual pro-choice ad about the amendment to the State constitution that would legalize this right to medical care. Florida’s justification is of course ridiculous, but when you are dealing with fascists, them making *you* live your life with their bullshit is their point.

Meanwhile right now in Oklahoma #Project2025 has succeeded in implementing the incorporation of the bible into public school lessons. It even uses Public funds meant to pay teachers who will be wasting their time and taxpayer dollars teaching bible stuff. Unless it’s blocked by the courts?

Maybe?

Back in Texas, the Project2025 plan to legally erase someone’s humanity continues at the State level. This is fascism right now, in Texas (and many other States) targeting Americans that _they_ think should not exist.

This is Pops wilderness canoe camping with me in the Boundary Waters several years ago.

If you ever get the chance to visit this jewel of a National Park in upper Northeastern Minnesota, do it.

@robertnorlyn
I think you are correct that it’s fabricated. A push to depress voter turnout so the fascists win. The question needing a response for me is who is behind this operation? (Russia? Hamas? Iran? The Heritage Foundation? Fill in your blank?)
