In 2014, this Russian agency/fake church showed its true colours when two of its representatives refused to stand in the Verkhovna Rada to honour fallen Ukrainian defenders.

Leaders of the so-called Moscow Patriarchate routinely praise "mother Russia" and insult Ukrainians.

@Magiciandavid #Bluesky is #JackDorsey.

Jack wants #Twitter to use Bluesky.

Jack touted and continues to support #fascist #ElonMusk as the person best-suited to own Twitter.

#Jack is a fascist sympathizer.

#Bluesky is a tool for fascism hidden in pretty propaganda.

Don't use Bluesky, don't use Twitter, don't trust Jack, don't trust #Elon, don't support #fascism, in any way.

Bluesky is a #TrojanHorse.

A startup has gone full rogue, dumping sulfur dioxide into our shared atmosphere as a geoengineering proof of concept - without any consultation or oversight.

"Make Sunsets, appears to have moved forward with launches from a site in Mexico without any public engagement or scientific scrutiny. It’s already attempting to sell “cooling credits” for future balloon flights that could carry larger payloads."

Make Sunsets CEO refers to it as "geoengineering activism"

They played and sang Jingle Bells, as well as the Ukrainian carol "The old year is passing away". (VIDEO) #Ukraine #News #War #Russia

I'm still not convinced Putin's proof of life video today was a recent vintage. Still no explanation why he didn't meet Lukashenko yesterday. Now Medvedev is quoted on things outside of his authority. He's become a drunken court jester but Tass quotes him on strategic policy.

Merry Christmas, Mastodon!

As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.

Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.
