History rhymes in interesting times
@nogaslight.bsky.social
I am a chill enigma wrapped in a tortilla, a Meat Popsicle burrito.
Be kind to eachother. Say no to Fascism.
Self-educated military historian of 50+ years.
Friend of Ukraine.
I fight Climate Crisis like your grand-kid's life depends on it (it does).
Check out Rubio's blink-rate.
This is betrayal, and he knows it.
Everything he is saying goes against all the traditions that he used to run for office on, and everything he learned as a Miami Cubano.
Rubio on Russia-Ukraine: "It's not our war. It's a war on another continent."

If you want to follow this closely, start at the BEGINNING.

Hat tip to @jkbjournalist.bsky.social for breaking this case open to the light of day doing investigative journalism for the Miami Herald.
Also, release the #EpsteinFiles. All of them.

Trump is OUT OF TOUCH with US Voters on Europe & Ukraine

80% of voters support collective defense, and 62% view NATO favorably. Only 7% want Russia to win in Ukraine.
When Congress is no longer MAGA dominated (soon), expect better.
Hang on Ukraine.

Full Fascism... Will Local LEOs Pass this Test?
Stephen Miller tells law enforcement in MEMPHIS: “You are unleashed”

Why Do Pedophiles Love Russia?
Raping children isn't against the law there.
He's disgusting on so many levels.

He killed 83 people in Samoa, most of them children.
His disinformation was deadly, full stop.
He vaccinates his own children while pretending to be anti-vax for political power. Despicable. Fuck this guy.

100% True.
Agent Orange gave all our cards away.
We can't say he's a failure, since he succeeds for Putin.
Sadly.

Murkowski has more balls than the male MAGAs occupying seats in Congress combined.

Lukashenko: people have freedom of choice in Belorussia.
Pretending to answer @bbcstever.bsky.social's question.
(Reminder: He lost the 2020 election. Putin sent Russian troops in to keep his puppet in power. He just "won" a 7th term in 2025 with 87%.)

Glad their racism is going overt.
It is going to backfire, providing Americans with an ever-expanding wakeup call: we need to say this isn't who we are.
Also, what kind of asshole "cancels" the Tuskegee Airmen?
Similar cancellations happened at the Army War College in Carlisle PA. Canx history courses about Black Soldiers and Women in Combat.
The Air Force is stripping Tuskegee Airmen lessons from basic training curriculum because of our White supremacist government.
Put that in a headline.

Sadly, the US has been letting these moments pass since 2008. The consequences are being felt directly in Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia... and the US.

@general-ben.bsky.social is on target as usual.

The US has allowed these moments to pass since 2008, which is how we got to now: Ukraine, Georgia... and the US as well.
“Don’t waste your independence!” Powerful warning from Polish Hero of post-WWII #EdwardRaczynski. Unfortunately it feels as if we are wasting our Independence in our failure to adequately support Ukraine and Georgia and our failure to fully defend independence and democracy in our own countries.

I'd love to know how much $$ Russia, China, Iran and others spent for Trump and against Harris in 2024, upgraded version of the 2016 election.

EU has laws with teeth to protect Social Media users.
US: not.
This view from Ireland spells out how, why and where.

EU needs to be less ‘polite’ in resisting Russian attempts to sway elections
Worldview: Attacks include sabotage, assassinations, parcel bombs, cyber attacks, electoral interference, social media disinformation campaigns and the testing of military preparedness

Nativity 2024: Just Be Kind.
Whether you say Merry Christmas or something else...

The world feels poisoned against itself, angry and unhappy.
I think the best thing we can each do to push back is to be kind. Respect their human rights and human needs.

I hope that you and yours are happy.
