Russians are trying to rewrite history on Wikipedia. Because it's the #1 source of training data for AI systems, it can also be used to "poison" platforms like ChatGPT and Claude AI.

Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, made together with chef invité @martinlaineolen.bsky.social , we discuss the extensive links between pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and Russian officials and intelligence operatives, and how Western politicians reinforced these links.

In this 5th Debunk of the Day, we’ll discuss something that sounds great in theory, but was completely turned upside-down by the tankie kind of vatnik: anti-imperialism. More consistent anti-imperialists call this the “anti-imperialism of idiots”.

Insiders confirm it’s all a bluff. Indeed, Putin and his cronies all have their kids in Europe. Their luxurious mansions. Their favorite vacation spots. Their billionaire yachts, in that West they claim to hate so much and be willing to turn to ashes.

There are 1400 mentions of DOGE founder Elon Musk in the Epstein files.

So Putin is all over the Epstein files. It would come as no surprise to me if the Epstein organization was a front for Russian covert activities to be able to blackmail American establishment figures.

For the Russians, this war has been a nonstop war crime marathon

There will be no justice until busloads of them are sent to The Hague

Since it cannot win on the battlefield, Russia has relentlessly bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, weaponising hunger and basic human needs. Forcing Ukraine into surrender through civilian suffering appears to have become Russia’s central strategy in the war.

Russian propaganda gets massive funding, which they use for armies of bots and trolls to distract from their atrocities with manipulation techniques such as this one.

To really end this war sooner, help Ukraine: directly or by pressuring your politicians. And if you understand how Russia’s massive propaganda has been crucial in prolonging the war by making the West reluctant to help Ukraine enough, support our work:

…save everyone’s lives, as Russia executes POWs. It wouldn’t even end war nor conscription: Ukrainians are already being drafted into the enemy’s army (yet another war crime) for this war or the next.
The only thing that can stop Russian atrocities in Ukraine is Russia leaving, willingly or not.
4/5

What they never mention is… WHO started the war, WHO murders Ukrainians, WHO destroys Ukrainian cities: the same monsters they suggest Ukrainians be at the mercy of.
Surrendering wouldn’t end the atrocities of the occupation, it would enable them. Surrendering wouldn’t even…
3/5

An endless army of vatniks therefore tries to demoralize both Ukrainians and Western supporters.
They sound noble: “anti-war” or concerned about the fate of Ukraine’s civilians, soldiers and cities. They claim that if we just stop fighting and helping, this horror would magically end.
2/5

In this 3rd Debunk of the Day, we’ll talk about… “ending” the war by surrendering or ceding territory.

Nearing four years of the 2-day “special military operation”, Russia is desperate to obtain through other means what they failed to conquer on the battlefield.
1/5

Hungary and Armenia will be the next electoral battlefields where Russia is spending a lot of money and resources.

Threats of a “special military operation” in the latter have already begun, in case their campaign fails.

Terrorist russia keeps deliberately attacking Ukraine's power grid in freezing temperatures

Russia knows Ukraine’s borders, and Ukrainians will keep fighting no matter what. The EU and NATO are here to stay, and we have nukes too. It’s realistic to remember all this. Lobby your politicians, don’t vote for those who want to surrender to Russia.
Donate to Ukraine and help Ukraine win.
4/5

Russia’s full scale invasion was supposed to take 2 days, but we’re nearing 4 years. They’ve lost a million men. Their economy is in shambles.
And yet we’re letting them set their red lines instead of massive sanctions, strong support for Ukraine, and an immediate sky shield.
2/5

In today’s (first) Debunk of the Day, we’ll talk about… “realistic expectations”.

Russia has the GDP of Italy. NATO — which Russia claims to be fighting — has 20 times their GDP, and a much stronger and more modern military.

Trump administration concedes DOGE team may have misused Social Security data Some DOGE personnel had more access to data than previously acknowledged, according to a court filing.

“Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to ‘overturn election results in certain states.’”
