"Fear has always been the most essential instrument of Soviet authorities, & that is true of Putin’s regime. And that’s why Navalny kept repeating, during his trials: “I’m not afraid, & you should not be afraid.”... he wanted to tell people: "don’t ever be afraid – those bastards are not worth it."

Mark Kelly on Trump’s military probe: “I haven’t heard anything — Social media, that’s how we were notified. That’s how unserious they are — I spent 25 years in the United States Navy. I retired from the Navy 14 years ago. I’m not in any command now. I don’t know what they’re talking about”

I see war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu lying on global TV. He says that the person who stopped a Bondi Beach shooter, Ahmed al Ahmed, was a Jewish man. The hero is in fact, a 43-year-old muslim fruit shop owner from Sydney - and this has been multiple source confirmed.

A horror night for Australia. But the acts of Australians from all walks of life to protect and help shows this nation is much stronger than those who seek to divide us.
All love to those and their friends and family in shock and mourning today.

The Trump doctrine is clear: they want to break European alliances while promoting the extremist far right.
Nice to see this response from the deputy PM of Poland.

Since the GOP is openly against immigrants now, I assume they're calling for anchor baby Barron Trump and his immigrant mom Melania to be deported, right?
He's the son a criminal, Donald, held liable for fraud, sexual assault & partied with a pedophile. A family of grifters and moochers, right?

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
