A fellow ex-Soviet immigrant has just tweeted at me to the familiar tune of "How can you hate Republicans and love their enemies on the other side who are communists?" Most ex-Soviets are rabidly pro-GOP/Trump due to their fear of POC and equating any type of left with Brezhnev.
But to me, it's the Republicans who are making me relive the Soviet past as well as the Putin present. I will blog about this today.

On the 50th anniversary of Moon landing, it is interesting to note that an overwhelming majority of Russians believe in hoax conspiracy theories, no matter how kooky, rather than admitting that Americans actually landed there. National pride can be an ugly, ugly thing.
According to a poll done last week by Russian state pollster VTsIOM, 57% of Russians believe the landing was faked. Only 24% believe the Americans actually went to the Moon.
Soviet cosmonaut Leonov said he watched Americans land & was extremely happy when Armstrong took the 1st step. Most Russians don't believe him, however. Pseudo-scientific "proofs" of the landing's being a fake are extremely popular, especially the fake Stanley Kubrick "interview"

I am at an Orioles game, and there are like 100 Australian boy scouts here, and they are amazing. I want to live tweet our interactions, but it's so damn hot.
They are here for the big jamboree and they've all bought a ton of MAGA merchandise, because Trump is treated in Australia as a huge joke, and they think it's hilarious.
They are doing the YMCA and then immediately the Aussie-Aussie-Aussie-oy-oy-oy chant, and I am so happy...

I have translated Panarin's interview to a Russian Youtube channel, where he rips Putin to shreds. It's absolutely magnificent. Nothing like this has ever been said by a Russian athlete, ever. Please, read this. The Breadman is an absolute monster.
slavadoesamerica.com/russian-nhl-st…
People are asking what might happen to Panarin now. I honestly have no idea and nobody in Russia does either. This has never happened before. Putin could always count on jocks to have his back.
I am not sure even he knows how to proceed. Or if to proceed in any way.
For those interested, the interview was actually recorded a month ago, but Panarin is STILL in Russia. The kid is obviously fresh out of crap to give.
So, yes, Gotham, who needs Batman when you have Breadman.

White people and #whiteness are the center of the #tRump presidency. His primary concern is to defend, protect and promote it. Self-identified #Republicans absolutely love him for it. nytimes.com/2019/07/14/opi… via @NYTOpinion #RacistInChief #WhiteNationalism
#tRump is otherizing brown-skinned members of Congress by implying they are foreigners who may not love this country.

When it comes to #race, #tRump plays with fire like no other president in a century.

#Republicans must now own their administration’s effort to destroy protection for preexisting conditions. nytimes.com/2019/03/27/us/…
The #ACA is critical to #RhodeIsland’s fight against the opioid crisis. The law has helped thousands of RIers get health insurance through #Medicaid expansion, and guarantees coverage for substance use treatment.

.@realDonaldTrump’s effort to overturn the #ACA is directly counterproductive to our work to curb this epidemic.

1. Love is a subject that every one of us has an opinion on. However our emphasis is on the doing part of Love. #Love
2. The first component of Love is in John 3:16 - for God so love the world that He gave his only begotten Son. #Love
3. To love is to recognize value in someone and to demonstrate that recognition of value. #Love

Democrats, I am going to try to warn you again about the Wolf PAC. If you’ve ever heard the expression “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” you know that this can be dangerous. The Wolf PAC = Young Turks (on youtube). #NoConCon
Young Turks are posing as progressive Democrats and there are many indications that they are not what they seem to be. Here’s an article that says they helped Trump get elected:
huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-the-…
The Young Turks claim to be the Breitbart of the left, but honest:
Wolf PAC claims to be nonpartisan. This is confusing. But not really.

Hey Twitter! This is @SaraRamirez, artist and proud Mexican Irish American #immigrant #bisexual #queer #woman. To mark #BiHealthMonth, I’m doing an #HRCTwitterTakeover to talk about the need to address #biphobia and #bi-erasure. #BHAM18 Sara Ramirez takes over the HRC Twitter in honor of Bisexual Health Awareness Month.
Those of us who love more than one sex/gender use many different labels, but we share a common experience: our presence makes people uncomfortable. Our very existence as #bisexual threatens heteronormativity and the gender binary. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover
#Bisexual, #queer, #pansexual, #fluid, non-monosexual folk are the single largest group within the #LGBTQ community, and we come in all Pantone shades, all genders, and no gender. We're trans, cis, nonbinary. We're ✨everywhere ✨. —@SaraRamirez #HRCTwitterTakeover Bisexuals are the single largest group within the LGBTQ community.
