Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine.
Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker.
It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods
Such a powerful image in Le Monde.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

Jimmy Kimmel dug up a video of Stephen Miller in high school. He’s always been a complete asshole.
Meloni delivers an unusual holiday message.

Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs Fake news travels fast. Post in haste, regret immediately. Two’s company, three’s a crowdsourcing campaign. AI for an eye, an untruth for a truth. Beware of geeks bearing gifs. Caesar’s Wi-Fi must be above suspicion. A scrolling phone gathers no moss. Share and share and like. Don’t feed the troll that bites you. Empty influencers make the most noise. Every blog has its day. Blessed are the content creators. There’s a time and podcast for everything. Do not judge clickbait by its cover. A WhatsApp a day keeps your mother at bay. All’s well that trends well. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to phish and you pheed him for a lifetime. Every cloud has a data centre. Spam tomorrow and spam yesterday – and always spam today. The end justifies the memes. Brian Bilston
This is called ‘Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs’.
It’s stupefying to see the debunked “change through trade” - agenda (that blinded Germany towards the totalitarian turn of 🇷🇺 & 🇨🇳) make a comeback in Witkoff/Trump‘s Russia dipomacy (make money, not war).
Putin doesn’t care for 💵, he wants his empire back. Germans learned it the hard way.

Good analogy “attacking American companies over garbage”.
Yes, the polluters should pay.
The toxic sludge created by US Tech should be fined like any other ‘externality’ — like oil spills, chemical leaks, poisoning rivers.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇
While passenger planes fly across the skies over Europe, in Ukraine the skies are filled with Russian missiles and drones. One continent, but two different realities.

For nearly a decade, sceptics have dismissed allegations that Bannon’s Cambridge Analytica and Prigozhin’s troll farms successfully intervened in the Brexit referendum and Trump’s election in 2016 - now the argument is over

We’ve mapped the mansion tax.
You can see who's paying - which constituency, which postcode - and how many "mansions" are near you.

“NATO was built to fight only one war: to save free Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine is the only country fighting this war — and we’re still discussing, ‘Should we include them or not?’ Ukraine is the only country fulfilling NATO’s destiny!”
Can't thank Mr. Kasparov enough for these words 🙏
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷
Map of Mexican territories that we now think of as part of the United States
Consider Mexico. A thread.
Once upon a time, not even so very long ago, you would often hear from Russia's propagandists and their little helpers in the West about the "Mexico scenario".
Russia liked people to think that it only invaded its neighbours because it was forced to do so by NATO -

💔Ternopil. A father gently rocking the coffin carrying his child.
Today, his wife and two children were all laid to rest.
They were among the 33 victims killed in the massive russian attack Nov.18th.
The father is the only survivor from their home.
Never forgive.
Never forget. 🕯️
1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.
