Support this fundraiser if you think Putin stink.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported Ukraine throughout these years and ask for your help in the end of this text, please read the whole post and repost it greatly helps.
Today, russian terror continues all across Ukraine. Unable to make progress on the battlefield and achieve control over the Donbas, russia has switched to terror against Ukrainian cities.
Hundreds of families, children, and their mothers are being killed with no military objective. The only objective is terror, to make Ukraine unlivable, to make its people surrender.
As if that terror weren't enough, russia uses its influence over the US administration to pressure Ukraine into surrender.
The results are quite depressing. The death toll is terrible. Images of dead Ukrainian children and entire families are being suppressed by social media platforms run by russia-aligned oligarchs.
Ukraine is in a very tough position. But even considering all of that, Ukraine is still standing and holding off russian aggression.
The voices of traitors and enemies are getting louder: "Just die and let us move on to the next target."
You must understand exactly that. The goal is not to make Ukraine surrender so that it's all over. The goal is to destroy the precedent. The goal is to remove Ukraine as an obstacle to further conquest and terror against those who remain free.
I know it sounds dramatic, but if history teaches us anything, it's that after devouring one target and celebrating its success, the monster will only grow hungrier.
Most citizens of the West live without thinking about the death and suffering that could be unleashed against them.
They think that wars against them are a thing of the past, and that the protection provided is guaranteed. It's not.
The main message to Ukraine from tyrannical dictators and wannabes is that it's not a real country, that it's Ukraine's fault, that Ukraine started the war.
The gaslighting is there to make sure that no one will support you. If you think someone will come and help you, that may not be the case.
The techno-oligarchy will launch a wave of gaslighting, making the victim into a villain, an aggressor who could have just surrendered to stop the terror and suffering it inflicted on itself.
But Ukraine still stands, and it needs help.
Today, I'm fundraising to help Ukraine get critical engineering machines. These machines build shelters and bunkers that protect people from russian missiles, drones and bombs. These are excavators that dig deep into the ground to help Ukraine survive.
Our goal is to raise $100,000, and we're already 65% of the way there.
I'm asking you to donate, like, and share this message.

🇺🇦 Russia is getting smashed in places where Moscow expected to be advancing.
While Ukraine quietly disappears from prime-time news, something else is happening on the battlefield.
Ground is being retaken, Russian plans disrupted and the reality on the battlefield increasingly doesn't match the Kremlin's narrative.
Yet, unless you actively go looking for it, you could easily miss the story.
Ukraine hasn't disappeared, it’s just the cameras have simply started looking somewhere else.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.
PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.
Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

Trump bricht heute das Meet the Press Interview mit Kristen Welker ab – live auf Sendung.
Auslöser: Welker konfrontiert ihn mit der langsamen Stimmauszählung in Kalifornien.
Trump nennt sie „korrupt" – dann NBC, ABC, CBS und CNN. Behauptet er habe einen Erdrutschsieg errungen und es gebe mehr Beweise als je zuvor für Wahlbetrug.
Welker: „Sie haben nie Beweise vorgelegt."
Trump antwortet nicht – steht auf – verabschiedet sich – verlässt das Set.
Welker hatte extra für dieses Interview nach Wisconsin gereist. Ein amtierender US-Präsident bricht ein Presseinterview ab weil eine Journalistin Fakten nennt. Das ist was Amerika gewählt hat. 🇺🇸🇪🇺

Ricapitolando.
Durante alcune delle manifestazioni per il 25 aprile, cioè manifestazioni che dovrebbero celebrare la libertà contro ogni oppressione:
• Aggressioni contro chi portava una bandiera ucraina (tra cui anche esponenti politici), cioè la bandiera di un popolo che combatte per la sua libertà contro un invasore. Si sono viste addirittura immagini indegne di un anziano a cui viene impedito di partecipare alla manifestazione;
• Sindaci democraticamente eletti, di ogni schieramento politico, contestati e insultati;
• Cartelli e targhe in ricordo delle Foibe imbrattati;
• La Brigata ebraica insultata in piazza e costretta ad allontanarsi dal corteo sotto scorta delle Forze dell’ordine.
Se questi sono quelli che dicono di difendere libertà e democrazia, direi che abbiamo un problema.

“The Americans withdrawing from European security affairs is no longer the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario is Americans withdrawing from European security and turning against us.”

President Zelensky told AFP that Washington and Moscow are putting pressure on Kyiv to withdraw from Donbas as part of any agreement to end the war. He said both sides are telling Ukraine that if it wants the war to end tomorrow, it should pull its troops from Donbas.
Let's collectively say: F*ck Trump and his gang.
Peter Corcoran retweeted
doubt, his motivations are not this simple. Never were.
He fundamentally dislikes Zelensky, he is operating in a bubble of bad information and yes men, and I do not think he actually cares who wins or loses the war. Nor do I think he gives a shift what the peasant Putin can offer, because it isn't much and Trump and get more from somewhere else. The reality is that Trump just wants the war over so he can claim he ended the war. He doesn't give a shit what happens to get to that point.
And, ironically, if Trump had acted intelligently, the war might in fact be over by now. But he has breathed so much air into Russia it has extended the war for years.
Which just goes to show how little he understands war and conflict and how divorced from reality he is.
It is not about supporting Putin.
