We’re in the middle of a hostile takeover. Liberal democracy is being replaced by authoritarians favorable to destroying general protections and representation and overseeing violent oppression and surveillance on behalf of historically wealthy oligarchs.

Estonia DOD: It has been confirmed that the arson attack on an Estonian defence company was ordered by russia. russia’s acts of sabotage across Europe are intended to undermine support for Ukraine and fuel fears of escalation. They demonstrate russia's desperation. Our response is precisely the opposite of what russia seeks to achieve: more pressure on russia, stronger support for Ukraine. russia will not intimidate us or alter our policy.
