Think about the people who you watched, or listened to, or read, and you never went back to being the same person again. Dr Sarah Paine is one of those people and I highly recommend following her lectures and interviews. youtu.be/F9RqD3AoH6k?...

This is an important history of Russian secret service and propaganda. This has been a staple in Russian society which has negatively impacted the entire world. Russia is a terrorist state that spreads chaos throughout the world for the personal gain of their authoritarian leaders.

I read about this in history: We are in an era where people have collectively lost their gawddamn minds. I read history, I remember the unbelievably flawed decisions made by leaders of the world- both public and private. I'm experiencing history déjà vu. These are bad choices, bad actions.

We could take this back 500 years to Ivan the Horrible. This is a pattern that the entire world sees now and no amount of gaslighting, history revisionism, whataboutisms, or 2 billion dollar propaganda budgets from the Kremlin are going to convince otherwise.

I wish more of us NAFO were bonking the comments on YouTube on news videos. I see a lot of Russian trolls and bots. I see people pushing back and calling them out, which is nice. Judging on the desperation of the Russian trolls, it sounds like Russian invaders are losing the war.

I blame 33% of my fellow Americans for Trump and all the destruction he has caused my country, and the world. I have unfriended that 33% off my social media, many of them I blocked, and I hope they become as demotivated and bored with politics as they are with libraries, books, school, and learning.

We would be building 5 million new houses right now through the Kamala Harris building and inflation reduction policies. Instead, we're threatening to invade and steal Greenland, destroy NATO in the process, and give dictators Putin and Xi the greenlight to invade and steal land too.

On social media, I have de-MAGA'ed the algos and raised the IQ of my newsfeeds by probably 100 pts. The trick is to follow universities and things like space programs but then simply like and comment to their content! Also, unfriend all MAGA.

I want to echo Pekka Kallioniemi at @vatniksoup.bsky.social but I will add that influencers in general should not be trusted. I know you want to, and it may speak to you, but it's bullshit. They're being paid to promote. It's inorganic even when they don't try to be.

It sounds like the general consensus matches that of NAFO's which we held from the start: Ukraine will win, Russian invaders will lose. However, our work doesn't end when the physical war ends. The invaders, their trolls, their leaders must be brought to justice and Russians must apologize.

From today’s @bostonglobe.com. I’ll link the full article below, but for those who hit a paywall… “Velchik — who holds two degrees from Harvard, one from the college and one from the law school — was the sole lawyer arguing the case for the White House in July.” You really can’t make this up.
A DOJ lawyer accused
Harvard of 'indifference to antisemitism? As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler's perspective.
Michael Velchik once also told a peer that "Mein Kampf" was among his favorite recent reads.
Hilary Burns • Tal Kopan •
Updated September 2nd, 2025, 7.04 AMThe cornerstone of the Trump
administration's justification for cracking down on Harvard University is that the Ivy League school has allegedly allowed antisemitism to fester on campus.
"The choice was made, let's not give federal taxpayer dollars to institutions that exhibit a wanton indifference to antisemitism," the lawyer defending the government's case said in federal court in July.Yet that lawyer, Michael Velchik, when he was a senior at Harvard 14 years ago, submitted a paper for a Latin class written from the perspective of Adolf Hitler, according to three people studying in the department with knowledge of the incident. The assignment was to write from the perspective of a controversial figure, but Velchik's choice of Hitler so unnerved the instructor that he was asked to redo the assignment.
And in an email to a peer about 18 months later, as he was preparing to enter law school, Velchik wrote that he'd enjoyed Hitler's autobiography and political manifesto, "Mein Kampf," more than any other book he'd read recently during a year of travels, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by The Boston Globe. He did not mention Hitler's perpetration of the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were murdered.
