Eighty years ago, millions of Ukrainians fought for Nazism to lose forever. But today, Ukrainians are again opposing the evil that has been reborn, has come again, and wants to destroy us again. An army of monsters who kill, torture, and wipe out peaceful cities and villages from the face of the earth. Evil, the name of which is Russian fascism. Abbreviated as the Russian Federation.

On the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism, remembering millions of Ukrainians who, together with other peoples, fought and won, we believe and bring a new day of a new victory closer, when the expulsion of the Nazis from Ukraine.

It's impossible to deny that Russia has its own versions of Nazi ideology. The way to stop Nazism remains the same. Only joint efforts can be effective.

Russia puts every country that doesn’t submit to its terror on its "list."

As long as Russia exists in its current form, no country is safe unless it is a pawn or accomplice of a terrorist state. Part 1.

THE NEW #PROPAGANDA WAR.

Autocrats in China, Russia are now making common cause with MAGA Republicans to discredit liberalism and freedom around the world. 🚨

These dictatorships around the world have coalesced to promote autocracy - and how some Americans (we see you, Republicans) and Europeans help them.

Lawsuits, threats, and smear tactics have chilled government, academic, & tech-company responses to disinformation.

One could call this a secret authoritarian “plot” to preserve the ability to spread Antidemocratic conspiracy theories, except that it’s not a secret. It’s all visible, right on the surface. Russia, China, & other state actors—Venezuela, Iran, Hungary—work with Republicans to discredit democracy, to undermine the credibility of democratic leaders, to mock the rule of law. They do so with the goal of electing criminal Trump, whose second presidency would damage the image of democracy around the world, as well as the stability of #democracy in #America, even further.

Samuel Alito & Co. parroted Trump and Fox 'news' talking points that a rogue president isn't too worrisome because officials or the military can simply refuse to do their bidding or they will be prosecuted. In reality, except that a POTUS can simply pardon them before leaving office, and of course, those pardons could not be challenged because they are an official act. So all he needs to do is appoint people he knows will go along with the crimes the second time around.

Trump pardoned Michael Flynn & Roger Stone for their crimes just weeks before #January6th, as they organized dangerous extremists for the insurrection.

And there is this: The Trump-Hitler comparison is a stunning warning. Few Germans or Europeans expected what unfolded after Hitler amassed power. Trump is the only president in recent American history to openly despise the ideals, dignity, and equality upon which the contemporary United States is built.

Waiting for the most corrupt #scotus in history on the absurd immunity case.

"There's a right-wing plot to create a fascist dictatorship in the United States.
That's not my opinion—that's my reporting as a working journalist who's been doing this job for thirty years, including working for years as a journalism professor. Any journalist not acknowledging this reality isn't spending this era in history doing journalism, but some other pursuit substantially less useful, honorable, and committed to the constitution and rule of law that make a free press in America possible."

Republicans hate Girls and Women - they have already bent the laws to be able to murder us and disappear us. They are now making it legal to humiliate and torture us. There is no love - and there is nothing redeemable - in a man who would be ok with this assault, subjugation, and physical abuse of Girls and Women. Girls and Women aren't vessels to club and claim caveman style. We aren't vessels to impregnate and imprison. We are autonomous beings with fundamental human rights to self determine. And: whether raped or not--> Abortion is healthcare! Ps.Men speak up for us.

Rachel Maddow discusses her research into fascism, disinformation, and propaganda.

It's not merely an attempt to foster animosity towards a particular group. Fascist disinformation is to erode our democracy by convincing us that a specific group is perilous, untrustworthy, and should be disenfranchised.

What has transpired since 2016 with the former president is not just the vilification of ethnic minorities. He, along with Fox propaganda and other purveyors of disinformation, have escalated lies and disinformation into a violent domestic terrorist movement and a MAGA-driven fascist party. The presence of Republican fascists is a reality now.

Fascism ... is about getting us to undo #democracy and we shouldn't stand for it.

Dear Fellow Americans,

I will never forget the bravery of Tennessee Representative Justin Jones in the face of Republican racism was evident when he, having been sworn in once more, returned to the #Tennessee House chamber less than a week following his unjust expulsion, singing This Little Light of Mine.

It is an unforgettable moment.

In a remarkable move, Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon vacated (cancelled) the May 20th trial date in Donald Trump's stolen classified documents/obstruction of justice/Espionage case in Florida, and she announced that she will be setting no trial date. This is particularly outrageous given that Trump's own lawyers had previously suggested an August trial date.

Cannon's conduct is reminiscent of some of the evidence in Trump's New York case: David Pecker, head of Enquirer tabloid magazine, was involved in a crooked scheme with Trump to catch and kill damaging stories to help the criminal in the 2016 election. Now, it sure looks like Judge Cannon is Catching and Killing Trump's Espionage case, which undoubtedly will help Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Regarding Judge Cannon's pro-Trump bias, the recusal cup runneth over. Hopefully, Special Counsel Jack Smith agrees, and finally files a motion to REMOVE Judge Aileen "Pecker" Cannon from presiding over Trump's Florida prosecution.

The Forest Cemetery in Kyiv #Ukraine.

When you try to communicate with them, they listen but do not hear, they look but do not see. Their thoughts are with him, with their Hero.

Today, it is hard to say how many Ukrainians have died since the full-scale invasion started: the military, civilians, #Ukrainians from occupied territories.

There are many thousands missing, wounded, imprisoned (military and civilians) in Russian prisons, kidnapped children.

It is impossible to say how many people died in the first TWO years of the full-scale war in Mariupol, Lysychansk, Popasna & Sievierodonetsk - there were reports of large casualties among civilians. There is no access to Ukraine territories due to Russian occupation.

At the start of 2024, Human Rights Watch has estimated that at least 8,000 civilians were killed in #Mariupol during combat for the city. Obviously, the number of civilian victims can turn out to be much larger.

Let's finally stop this war. Ukraine must win and be restored.

Fascist disinformation trolls are out today. Phew. Like flies.

skykiss, 2 days ago to random

Rather than just giving Ukraine the tools to deal with these monsters, European politicians continue to ignore Russia's terror attacks across the continent, and it's only getting worse.

Just in the past 2 months

• Derailing trains in Sweden
• Burned warehouse in UK
• 2 arrested in Bavaria before attacking German logistics centers
• Destroyed signalling systems on Czech railways
• Attack on car of Estonian minister
• Jamming GPS across several sections of Nothern Europe from Kaliningrad

Ukraine is willing to do all the work on this if merely provided the tools. Two years from now, Europeans will be praying to go back in time and arm Ukraine.

Putin's terrorist engage in "disinformation, sabotage, acts of violence, cyber and electronic interference.. and other hybrid operations."

Was this an act of war? Prelude to war Russian state-directed propagandists announced is coming?
