RUSSIA is VERY, VERY MUCH at the heart of the Putin/Trump fascist subversion of our Democracy. It was they, for example, who first got Trump studying Hitler's tactics way back in the 1980's - tactics he uses daily, in full coordination with Fox/RW Media, and Putin's troll armies posing as Americans.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

But this isn’t true.

Israel has killed at least 6 US citizens in the West Bank alone over the last two years. None of their murderers have been brought to justice.

Their families are continuing to demand that the US hold Israel accountable for its killing of US citizens.

‘A club nobody wanted to be a part of’: Families of Americans killed by Israel face uphill climb to justice

Dozens of American citizens have been killed by Hamas and Israel – but the US government has taken a very different approach to the latter

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Scottish independence may be the last chance we have of protecting democracy - but we need to achieve it soon, before the UK government decides that people who advocate our right to choose are labelled 'domestic terrorists'.

'Having contrition' requires an iota of self awareness. The Tories are incapable of introspection, of having the faintest idea of what vile, greedy, self serving Cnuts they are. One day, we may again need an intelligent, articulate, moderate centre right party, One day.

Honest Bob Jenrick promises political selection of judges, and replacement of the sentencing council with ministerial decisions (which could be extremely complicated or cruelly, counter-productively simple).

Right wing “Network State” Bros want the SF Presidio. The “network state” movement strives to build crypto-based charter cities that can eventually become their own countries. “Beff Jezos” aka Gillaume Verdon spoke during Balaji Srinivasan’s 2023 “Network State” conference. 1/
