2024 was a Data-to-Disenfranchisement KKKoup.

True the Vote's lists, handed to "voter vigilantes", got 4.8 million votes wrongfully purged, 3.6M of which were 🟦. Kamala won by 1.2M popular votes, 286 EC.

2024 violated the #14A - it's illegitimate.

https://x.com/DemocracyDocket/status/2014092683870871557

2026's violations are only the latest round of the Trump-Epstein power grab.

Trump pushing to "nationalize elections", DOGE stealing data, Noem trying to extort Minnesota's voter rolls with ICE violence is all a part of it.

So were russian bomb threats to swing state polling.

"With this latest document drop, it's clear that the terminally online outsider eco-system was not invisible to elite eyes. The wall between the system and the counter-system is far more porous than the mythology allows."

@RpsAgainstTrump You need only look at archives that have been around for decades to see that Canada's transcript of Reagan was absolutely legit.

Imaging giving up literacy and dignity to eat up a such an easily proven lie. 👇 It's right there in the text, of course. This is how shameless Trump and the bot farms defending him are. Those Epstein files must be foul.

That "spy dossier" supposedly from Ukraine that Mriya Aid used to attack a journalist, David Pugliese, who called them out early? It never existed.

MA faked "evidence" he was a russian agent, and went after other critics with threats of SA+violence.

Sound familiar?!? 🇺🇦🧵👇 Disclaimer: years of sifting through this, and you'll find selfish actors, suspicious ones, and genuine supporters of Ukraine caught in the middle.

I admire Canada, and volunteers who've proven true allies of Ukraine despite this chaos. Let those who caused this own it.

What do you call it when someone, to this day, actively spreads lies A, B, and C, and each of those lies would call BS on the other ones if true?

I must admit, I have a lot of incredulous moments of "How can you actually think that?", and, "Why did you think that was proof?"

It's funny being accused of being an AI for almost four years now, by the same crew that has GrantGPT writing for them.

But wait, there's more.

About Georgian Legion's calling Mamuka a unit commander, and changing stories about the chain of command:

👉 Did HUR stutter? When GL was claiming to be under HUR's command, HUR denied they exist and said Mamuka hadn't been contracted since April 2023.

But there's more! 🇺🇦🧵👇


Take note what defenders had to say about Mamuka's behavior before his contract ended in April 2023.

I'll translate this step-by-step as well. You're going to see a lot of bitter sarcasm. Verify it yourself if you need to. Thread's tail is at:

Tearing down the "divine right of kings" - a team effort!

While French thinkers were 🤯 over free 🌎 indigenous societies, they also talked with Cossacks who had elected leaders - in 1648. Ukraine's Orlyk devised a constitution with separation of powers in 1710. Fascinating 🧵👇

https://twitter.com/JPLindsley/status/1939804608823517477

This means that the US Constitution came from a rebellion against "divine right" and monarchic power, and Ukraine's Orlyk was absolutely part of this conversation.

Through Montesquieu, Ukraine was no further than one degree of separation from the US's founding inspirations.

I've seen some stupid lies before, but damn.

You can never keep too many receipts with GL. They change their stories completely, and their cult doesn't notice or doesn't care.

Reality on the ground for the locals?
(video link below)

https://twitter.com/not_kavun/status/1936857518174503107

The video in question. You can clearly see there's a huge logo visible from the street. See, I found this video memorable because GL was falsely claiming authority to arrest its critics in Ukraine.

https://x.com/potuzhnishyy/status/1859631859858116822

Again? Again.

Same cluster, same behavior. They attack legit orgs and volunteers to keep their LARP $ going.

They threaten critics with death/SA, then impersonate them (the three yyy account was fake) to sow chaos.

There's no bottom.

I've seen their behavior since 2022, when they attacked @UK4UA's efforts which saved a defender's leg. "NurseAnna" lied about her involvement, patient consent, deleted/rebooted her threads with moved goalposts.

BBC/Suspilne sank that ship. Grudges much?

New initiative from @BackAndAlive just dropped!

"If you still don't know how 'Let's ground the enemy' works - it's okay! The dog's down to explain it to you.

This project is a shield for those who hold the sky. It's air defense, for air defense. The dog can confirm."

https://twitter.com/BackAndAlive/status/1924117790333489159

@BackAndAlive @BackAndAlive is cool like this. Their thinking is big-picture and end to end, because they were founded by Ukraine's veterans and have been at this for 11 years.

Just look at the success they've had with "Dronefall"...

Americans, read this and absorb its points. Trump's embrace of russia is a pact with death, with already recognizable symptoms: ☠️

"russian state policies, particularly domestic ones, have totally lost even their tentative compliance with the law."
krytyka.com/en/articles/ho… With its attempts to normalize russia's war crimes and fascist occupation of its peaceful neighbor, Trump's administration gives russia's national death cult its blessing, and proscribes the same for America.

American discourse does not show recognition of how deadly this is.

Though I suggest we be wary that Grok will be increasingly poisoned as a source, just this moment, I tip my hat.

It's done a great job of putting words to how the principles of how to support Ukraine connect to what I learned from standing with other marginalized people. I endorse this message.

I prompted Grok to look at three threads: Jim Crow-style voter suppression, black rights to armed self-defense, and Edmund Ruffin, and asked Grok how this would influence my support of Ukraine.

The interconnects were too good not to share.

This explainer has some solid points, @Greg_Palast, and helps to explain many of russia's excuses for war. I deeply value your work on US progressive issues. There are really solid points on how russia is aggressively attacking Ukraine's historic identity and autonomy.

Most simply and urgently: "Kyiv" not "Kiev", for the same reason we take down Confederate flags and monuments. Those spellings are a russian way of asserting imperialist ownership and historic revisionism.

I heartily recommend this thread by a respected Ukrainian author in Britain: x.com/komarnyckyj/st…

I can condense other things I've learned among Ukrainians thus:

Values are the biggest reason for russia's determination to destroy Ukraine, but Putin lied a bit there. It's not russian values versus western so much as russian versus Ukraine's. He lied because the war is founded on a genocidal premise that Ukraine doesn't exist.

It's russia's traditional values vs Ukraine's are, not so much the west's. It is the vertical power of russia's tsars and their nihilistic servile death cult, versus Ukraine's horizontal hromada, a democratic and even somewhat anarchistic co-operative view which values individuals and their choices. @Greg_Palast In Ukraine, they elected their hetmans beginning in 1648. russia is still cast in the mold of Ivan the Terrible.

This is not a worshipful, subjugated russian eye on this tsar Ivan. This painter, Ilya Repin, was Ukrainian. russia erased that to cook the books for its tsars.

Elections don't have consequences unless crimes do.

Elections have consequences. We didn't really have one if 4.7 million votes got wrongly purged.

The consequences we're actually facing are for cowardice and apathy in the face of a fascist KKKoup.

https://x.com/Greg_Palast/status/1860300474781454425

This is handing russia the reins of our country. Ukraine and Civil Rights are far more intersectional than is obvious. It's not just that they are matters of decency.

It's that the way people are poisoned against them are through grievance and collective narcissism overthrowing the moral compass.

This gets tricky because we are dealing with ways Americans are manipulated towards groups that seem removed from each other.

russia gets a hold of Americans through hatred, conspiracism, and disaffection. Trump got his political start in birtherism.

The Kremlin's trolls saw and took their chance.

When people become absorbed by their sense hate and grievance, and would rather tear down a democracy at home than let Those People be part of it, they're not going to champion democracy for other countries either, are they?

They'll be that way abroad: "Muh taxpayer duhlers" ahead of conscience.

If they hate others so much they don't want to share democracy, the strongman demagogues will play them.

Might makes right is the core of authoritarianism.
Once they adopt that value system, pro-democracy arguments don't work, because having no shared values makes a better argument meaningless.

With an authoritarian cult to tell them what America is, that they're the only real Americans, they're detached from the Enlightenment, from the historic value of Civil Rights, and ultimately choose power-over instead of principle.

Minorities, women, foreign allies don't matter, only submission.

Ukrainians have had a nasty shock finding out how much of America has lost its way. Many of us saw it happening when our family members ceased to be like the people we once knew, listening to FOX News and Alex Jones for decades.

Supporting actual nazis is a death threat, period.

It is looking at a death machine that systematically killed 12 million civilians, including 6 million Jews (hence 6MWE) just for their identity or beliefs, and millions more in wars of choice, and say, "Let's try that again." At least 1 out of every 33 people then on Earth died in WW2.

That's on the nazis and Stalinists who began it jointly in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, when they attacked Poland.

That's on the aggressors and those who could have stopped them but didn't.

OH WAIT - GL deleted their video of their "arresting" a critic at gunpoint under martial law in Ukraine?? What happened, guys??

https://twitter.com/abstractedaway/status/1856040933613027478

Screenshot of the deleted post. Did something happen??

@DI_Ukraine's statement: the "Georgian Legion" does not exist as a unit, is not in Ukraine's command struction, and is not to be confused with Georgian volunteers serving with various real units of ZSU, GUR, and TDF or the International Legion.

Mamuka's not fought since April 2023, and his "second in command" Reshytlo hasn't fought and has been stealing valor. This emphatically means that they cannot be what they represent themselves as for fundraising purposes. GL's refusal to account for the millions of dollars fundraised, its actual instigation of threats and harassment against whistleblowers inside and outside of Ukraine, has done evil to people who tirelessly sought to help real Ukrainian units and orgs, not this siphoning GL scam.

Many over at @Official_NAFO only thought they knew because they were told. Others were in a position to know and speak up about the aggressive harassment of volunteers, up to and including threats of rape and death. One cannot be a mute bystander to mass-incited harassment or defamation of dedicated Ukrainians and supporters who wanted funds and support for Ukraine to be properly directed, and then be "Official" to a decentralized movement.

Meanwhile, real Ukrainian units exist, top-notch and highly accoutable organizations like @BackAndAlive and @dzygaspaw show reports, @TPSpindel ad @potuzhnishyy and @LvivNightingale and @TheWarSanta and @RachelPAV have spoken truth about GL each in their way, and endured horrific slander for their bold stance. And I, I've seen my share for my advocacy to support Ukraine through its best orgs, which Georgian Legion's hardcore chose to see as vicious rivals and even russian fronts, while they themselves disappeared millions of dollars in donations. We're here for Ukraine, not fake Twitter celebrities.

Those who were in good faith and deceived by others, I for one do not begrudge you trying to help Ukraine as you understood how, but we have a responsibility to hear Ukrainians, to verify supporters, to make sure we are actually helping Ukraine as intended.

Those who chose grift and LARPing and defamation of all outside the club, coordinated attacks on Ukrainians and volunteers of all sorts: your malicious projection of your own sins onto others will not hide what you did. Ukraine doesn't need this, and we are not here to be your scapegoats.

A translation of the announcement follows, boldface emphasis added:

"‼️ Statement on false accusations of the Slovak Republic authorities against the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine

On January 31, 2025, during a press conference, officials of the Slovak Republic made accusations against the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine - allegedly, servicemen of the Georgian National Legion, “subordinate” to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, were involved in organizing protests in Slovakia in preparation for a coup d'état.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine carefully studied the accusations, because hybrid and information operations aimed at undermining the situation in European countries, sowing discord both within states and between European partners are an extremely serious threat to Ukraine, which, with the support of the civilized world, is heroically resisting russian armed aggression.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine officially reports that there is no unit called the Georgian National Legion in its structure.

As for the International Legion of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, it is a multinational active duty unit that is directly involved in battles with russian occupation forces in the hottest spots of the frontline and, of course, does not conduct any hybrid actions on the territory of the European Union.

As for the person mentioned at the press conference [Ed.: that would be the reported commander of the "Georgian Legion"], he is not a Ukrainian serviceman, has no relation to Ukrainian intelligence, and does not receive any tasks or instructions from the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. This person terminated his contract with the International Legion of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine in April 2023 and did not renew it.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine strongly rejects false accusations of organizing illegal actions in the Slovak Republic.

We emphasize that the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine is in constant contact and cooperation with colleagues from NATO countries, adheres to the principles of good faith cooperation and partnership, always works for the benefit of common security and overcoming the challenges posed to European countries by the full-scale war unleashed by russia, in particular the information component of russian aggression.

European politicians should be as responsible as possible for their words, especially for accusations against friendly countries, in order to avoid giving any grounds for hostile propaganda.

❗️ We note that it is russia that is constantly trying to sow discord between the countries of the Free World, discrediting European politicians, interfering in democratic elections, organizing street riots, and even committing political assassinations in Europe."
