He's a threat because, even though he makes mistakes, he still has more integrity and willpower than most world leaders. Zelenskyy makes the rest of them look bad.

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda.

It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

Correct spelling eludes a New York Times headline.

Вірити в ЗСУ — це бути надійним тилом.
Славити ЗСУ — це знати своїх героїв.
Із Днем Збройних Сил України!

Just thinking about how fucked up mega-rich people must be, because they can't even enjoy their money properly, because the most enjoyable thing to do with money is to use it to fix people's problems.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is more of a president and definitely more of a man than that rotting jack-o-lantern could ever hope to be.

If this is their "proof" and justification for why they keep murdering Ukrainian civilians, then maybe they should deal with their own Neo-Nazi problem before worrying about anyone else.

He's also the descendent of many who didn't survive the Holocaust.

It's such a transparent false fake narrative that russia pushes; literally everyone who doesn't do what they say or opposes them are "Nazis"; it's pathetic but almost more embarrassing so many people apparently fell for the Propagandizing bullshit.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🔱💙💛

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

Don't fall for the manipulative "censorship" framing of EU's fines against X for DSA violations. The EU is trying to enforce their laws. X is breaking them. And the U.S. government is defending big tech, billionaries, & bullshitters rather than protecting users. www.linkedin.com/posts/daphne...

🔴 Another Russian war crime.

Russian troops executed a captured Ukrainian soldier just moments after he surrendered.

Ukraine is in an asymmetric existential war as a result of Russian aggression.

Along comes the NYTimes to report relatively small corruption in the Zelensky government.

Astute readers of the NYTimes have deservedly given the NYTimes reporters and editors hell for carrying water for Putin.

Join us tomorrow Friday back on the House side at Independence Ave and New Jersey by Longworth House Office building from 2-4pm. ❄️
Keep calling your members of Congress and tell them to support a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

It's a bridged Mastodon account: aus.social/@leceimie

As you can see, it's a Kremlin propaganda account (created Nov 26). There are hundreds of these bridged accounts spreading disinformation about Ukraine and its allies. It's an organized disinformation campaign.

Report & block.

Zelenskyy learned Ukrainian in school, during his childhood, but he didn't speak it often until later.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’

Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’

Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

This is the price hike that a father from Neenah will have to pay next year if Republicans keep going down this path and refuse to act. This is what thousands of Wisconsinites are bracing for.

Major Pete Hegseth, in 2016: "... that's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their Commander in Chief. There’s a standard. There’s an ethos.

Me in 2025: "You can refuse illegal orders."

Watch for yourself.

Join us at Independence Ave and New Jersey across from Longworth House office building until 7pm today Wednesday.
Call your members of Congress today and tell them to support a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.
#CrimeaIsUkraine 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Anyone casually weighing in on this race needs to understand this.

Pinning the blame on Admiral Bradley - when Hegseth gave the order to kill everyone - is a gross abdication of leadership. He's not qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

Ukraine is less corrupt than USA and EU! 🤬

Leslie told her story about how the Affordable Care Act saved her and her family, and how devastating it will be if Republicans increase her premiums in January just because they want a big tax cut for their billionaire donors.

The Republican Administration of criminals knows russia doesn't want peace - these meetings are to prolong the war, to delay the sanctions Republicans lied about imposing, and for russian oligarch billionaires to make deals with American oligarch billionaires

If you want to know where Russia stands on the "peace" negotiations, consider that if Moscow wanted peace, it could simply stop waging war, committing genocide, and withdraw from Ukraine. Russia doesn't want peace. Russia wants to destroy Ukraine by all means available, including "diplomacy".

among other things: TN-07, the Congressional district that voted today, is the result of gerrymandering - Nashville, which used to have its own congressman, was split into thirds, and TN07 contains one of the thirds. The rest of it is rural.
