I'm gonna try and make this as simple, short & sweet as @DavidAFrench did here.

What still seems to get by everybody is that #ElonMusk, Tucker Carlson, even Trump himself don't care if they're right or wrong.

It's all about controlling the narrative!
🧵
theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… French notes that... "As powerful as Twitter is, it cannot match the reach and strength of the federal government,..." and this is still true. But I am ever more convinced that men like Musk, and surely #Musk himself want to simply replace governments.

Dear Fellow Americans,

Do you vote? 🤔 OK!

THIS is why the #January6thCommitteeHearings are so important.
A 🧵entitled...
"Why we should all watch the #January6thHearings" or "The #BigLie = The Big Stupid!"

Warning: There may be some language here. I've had enough!

1) In the current political climate, MAGA Republicans, most of whom were complicit in the conspiracy to overturn the results of a free and fair election, continue to distract, obfuscate or remain silent while the #January6thCommittee patiently unravels..

That bastard #Putler has his back to the wall and now he wants to get out with Crimea and the Donbass!

Here's what I say;
@ZelenskyyUa Finish him! 👊🏽 #NATO should give you what you need to drive his army OUT of your Country.
@JoeBiden keep up sanctions.
nbcnews.com/news/world/liv… And it does look like Mr. #Zelenskyy and I believe Biden are with me!

"Zelenskyy calls for more sanctions on Russia as peace talks continue!"

But what we can easily gather from watching this video is that nothing Russia says can be taken in good faith!

I remember Winter in #Odesa, walking through gray streets alone just to see the Black Sea. There was a pack of wild dogs, but they let me be. Now the dogs of war wait outside.

I remember the way the taxi slid over packed ice streets, not worried a bit.
theparisreview.org/blog/2022/03/2… Used to it. He dropped me at a restaurant where Andrew @dobry_andr and I chuckled at the hearty cockroach making its way slowly towards the kitchen. The waiter, practiced, kicked it under some furniture as he served us delicious stroganoff and warm wheat bread, all washed down...

Tonight I asked my Ukrainian friend Andrew (Andriy Андрій) about these "Kadyrov" soldiers who seem to be particularly inhuman, filthy dogs.

I will put his response, verbatim, in this 🧵.

Don't ask me how he keeps his sense of humour.

#FreshWords #LiveBlue2022 #DemCastCA Dear _____, Ramzan Kadyrov is a son of Akhmat Kadyrov :)
Hope it helps
It’s a joke

But the story starts with his father Akhmat Kadyrov.

As you can see now Russian army is not as strong as it seems to be.

In a United States of America where the Law is now being interpreted based on political affiliation as opposed to sound precedents and principals it behooves us all to get #LegalAF!

@meiselasb and @mspopok break it down in the latest edition. @MeidasTouch
Among the many issues discussed in this edition ⬆️ of #LegalAF;
☑️The 5th Circuit ruling on Bidens powers as Commander in Chief
☑️A Federal Judge in Tampa prevents the deployment of a Navy war ship based on his anti-vax views
☑️Tucker Carlson's racist rant on the highly qualified

This beautiful and helpful article was just shared with me by my Ukrainian friend Andrew (Andriy Андрій).

You might remember his email to me explaining the historic & religious motivations for the current Russian invasion.

Alas. That 🧵is now gone! 😕
ft.com/content/367fff… I can republish that email but he (Andriy) has also sent me an amazing review he wrote of the Russian novel Taras Bulba and has asked me to clean up the English. As soon as I finish that job I will post it. Andrew's insight into the reasons Russia insists on invading #Ukraine...
