Last night, Russia launched a brazen attack on the people of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic principles of human decency. Here’s my statement on what it means, and what should happen next. pic.twitter.com/Wa0C8XGwvK
THREAD 1 – Putin has assessed – correctly – that America is fractured. Without that assessment, this war would NOT be happening. For years, Putin saw, up close, Trump's fetishization for cruelty and need to win every transaction. He NOW sees the GOP's lust for regaining power.
One thing no one is commenting on is how incredibly President Biden and VP Harris have rallied our traditional allies barely a year after Trump left our alliances absolutely devastated. Even Putin didn't expect this. I don't know what to call it except a miracle.

History made today! Woooooot! 💃🏾
A SCOTUS that reflects the country. About time.
I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court. Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and will be an exceptional Justice.https://t.co/iePvhz1YaApic.twitter.com/Nzqv2AtN8h
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is an able jurist whose legal acumen, agile mind and complex career equip her well to serve as our next U. S. Supreme Court Justice. A proud day for all Americans of good conscience. https://t.co/sEJBB0Z9eg
White House announcement and remarks on Judge Brown Jackson’s nomination to SCOTUS will be at 2pm today. VP Harris will be there too!
I’ll be grinning from ear to ear all day!
New from WH: At 2PM ET, "THE PRESIDENT delivers remarks on his nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve as Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; Judge Jackson delivers remarks and THE VICE PRESIDENT attends"
Sadness, rage, and resolve:
Ukraine supporters react as Putin lies his way into war
“Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia,
talks about the plight of Ukrainians standing up to Vladimir Putin’s onslaught, and the courses of action available to Ukraine’s allies to punish Putin and influence Russia.”
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson Dazzles In Introduction To The Nation
“There are so many other people I’d love to be able to address and to thank, but time is short, so let me end by sharing an interesting coincidence that has meant a great deal to me over the years. As it happens, I share a birthday with the first black woman ever to be appointed as a federal judge, the Honorable Constance Baker Motley, we were born exactly 49 years to the day apart.
Today, I proudly stand on Judge Motley’s shoulders, sharing not only her birthday but also her steadfast and courageous commitment to equal justice under law. Judge Motley her life and career has been a true inspiration to me as I have pursued this professional path, and if I am fortunate enough to be confirmed as the next associate justice of the Supreme Court Of The United States, I can only hope that my life and career, my love of this country and the constitution and my commitment to upholding the rule of law in the sacred principles upon which this great nation was founded will inspire future generations of Americans.
President Biden had a very talented group of potential nominees to choose from, but he appears to have made a great choice. Judge Jackson discussed her commitment to upholding the rule of law, and she also mentioned the scared principles of the nation.”
Russia is pushing Finland closer to @nato membership. Vloser than ever before. Our security has been partially based on an option to join. At this rate we have no other option but to join. Finland’s accession would strengthen the Alliance and help keep Northern Europe stable.

BREAKING: The House Oversight and Reform Committee will INVESTIGATE Trump’s removal of classified documents from the White House in what its chairwoman says could be “the largest-scale violations of the Presidential Records Act since its enactment.”
I am always so happy to read everyone’s post, link, or comment. I hope you are all fine and doing well. We need to hang on strong particularly in the midst of so much: the slow pace of the 1/6 work which I hope will tie a certain actor to the failed coup; Putin’s pipe dream to reverse history and reinstate an imperial Russia; the implosion of the GOP and the Trumpian pandemic that hit the political right and flat-out infected the brains of so many; the calculating conduct of Manchin and Sinema, etc… There is enough to feel cynical but we ought to remain focused on the goal even as they put more obstacles to stop President Biden’s agenda.
I am so pleased with his choice for the Supreme Court and hope her confirmation will be successful.
U.S., Europe plan sanctions on Putin, Lavrov in retaliation for Ukraine invasion
“The United States, the European Union and Britain announced sanctions

This Could Be Huge:
The FCC Is Investigating American Media And Other Companies For Russian Ownership Ties
CNN reported:
“Conducted jointly with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security,
the FCC review covers more than just media entities regulated by the FCC’s broadcast licensing program, t
he person said. It also covers a vast array of telecommunications and infrastructure companies, including wireless providers, submarine cable operators, and foreign telecom services that connect US-international phone calls, the person said.
…..
It is not yet clear how many companies with ties to Russia the review may uncover,
the person said, describing the initiative as a “top-to-bottom” effort to “identify the universe of licensees that have Russian ownership that should be on our radar.”
“Scrutiny has grown, especially on media companies like Fox News,
that have been engaging in pro-Russia coverage.
Any companies that are found to have ownership ties to Russia
could be deemed a security threat to the United States
and could be subject to being shut down and kicked out of the United States.
There are likely some conservative media companies that should be very nervous about what the FCC review could find. Any outlet that is offering pro-Putin coverage should raise suspicion.
RT, the Russian own propaganda network in the US, should be kicked out of the country ASAP.”
This ruling greenlights a maneuver to help big corporations on solid financial footing shirk responsibility for hurting Americans. The Texas Two-Step is neither efficient nor fair for victims – we need to find a sensible way to fix it.https://t.co/wd4bIoVTw0

NEWS: A Memphis judge ordered a new trial for Pamela Moses, a Black woman who was sentenced to six years in prison for trying to register to vote. Moses will be returning home to her family while she awaits trial.
And the traitorous thug who incited an insurrection to steal an entire election on fucking live teevee is still fucking free still engaging in treason.
amk, Ms Moses was advised several times to register and she actively sought confirmation.
Meanwhile a bunch of white right wing guys were found guilty of registering their dead relatives and got a few days of community service. Mafia Doomsky has done so many crimes against Americans and his country that you get dizzy counting.

"The world is united against Russia!" Media barely notice that the two most populous nations on earth–India and China–both abstained in the UN Security Council vote condemning Russia.
All three – India, China and the UAE abstained and it speaks volumes. And people from those regions are in no position to find fault with the USA efforts. IMO
People should remember which countries decided to let Russia off the hook. Germany, Italy and Hungary have shown just how toothless the EU is. China was never going to vote against Russia but India and UAE are a disgrace for abstaining at the UN. #StandWithUkriane#StopRussia

So did Pariah Putin send in untrained youngsters first – cannon fodder?
Been hearing that the major part of his heavy artillery is yet hanging back…are these the trained military?

Statement by Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Japan’s Announcement to Hold Russia Accountable
FEBRUARY 27, 2022
We welcome Japan’s announcement today that it will stand with the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States to isolate Russia from the international financial system and our economies. Following Japan’s announcement, the entire G7 now supports disconnecting selected Russian banks from SWIFT, restrictions on the Russian Central Bank, and sanctioning key Russian leaders, including President Putin. Prime Minister Kishida and the Government of Japan have been leaders in condemning President Putin’s attack on Ukraine and we will continue working closely together to impose further severe costs and make Putin’s war of choice a strategic failure.

“One of the most important things that came out of this tragedy was the activation of an entire new generation of civil rights leaders.” That was part of what President Barack Obama told The Times when we asked him what the killing of Trayvon Martin, 10 years ago Saturday, meant for the United States, the movement for civil rights and for him personally.”

Sounds good, and President Zelensky is to be admired. Perhaps you could also do a thread on how well President Biden has been handling U.S. efforts during the situation. I'd admire that, too.
Maybe if the @nytimes had focused on fascism instead of wokeness as the chief US concern they could have illuminated, predicted, or maybe even discussed the growing open antisemitism on the US right.

Ukraine’s Zelensky calls on “citizens of world” to join in fight against Russia
In a statement on Sunday, he accused the Russian army of killing civilians and praised Ukrainians for having the courage to defend themselves.
“Ukrainians have manifested the courage to defend their homeland and save Europe and its values from a Russian onslaught. This is not just Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This is the beginning of a war against Europe, against European structures, against democracy, against basic human rights, against a global order of law, rules and peaceful coexistence,” Zelensky said.
Putin orders nuclear deterrent forces on high alert; Ukraine agrees to talks with Russia
“In a statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he spoke with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and agreed to meet with the Russians “without preconditions.”
Zelenskyy had said earlier that his government would not attend negotiations in Belarus, a close ally of Moscow’s where thousands of Russian troops massed in the lead-up to the invasion last week.”
The rouble has slumped by as much as 40% against the dollar, after Western nations announced new sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The new record low for the Russian currency comes after some of the country’s banks were banned from using the Swift international payment system.
On Sunday, Russia’s central bank appealed for calm amid fears that there could be a run on the country’s banks.
People are asking me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.
Pretty bad time to be a disastrously bad real estate developer with hundreds of millions in debt coming due and your primary source of laundered money currently banned from world banks.
It’s obvious that with U.S. and world opinion firmly behind Ukraine, Trump, Fox, and MAGA sycophants are *terrified* that their words and actions (too many to list) facilitating Russia’s goals will come back to haunt them. Never forget — play every clip from now to Nov ad nauseum
Imagine being @ZelenskyyUa, leading a budding democratic country that is not yet part of the EU or NATO, fighting against completely unprovoked aggression to preserve the same democratic ideals of the EU and NATO, with no troops coming in support, begging for sanctions and arms.
The US announces they're cutting off Russia's central bank, banning US citizens, companies from doing business w them, “effectively immobilizes any assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation held in the U.S. or by U.S. persons, wherever located.”https://t.co/8BfhyeP3J7
Switzerland will forgo its commitment to neutrality & impose sanctions on Russia, Swiss Federal President Ignazio Cassis says, calling Russia's actions an "attack on freedom, an attack on democracy, an attack on the civil population & an attack on institutions of a free country."
Football’s world governing body Fifa is set to suspend Russia until further notice as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommends that Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials are banned from participating in any organised international competitions.
The suspension would mean Russia’s exclusion from the men’s World Cup qualification play-offs in March.
The corrupt fifa (remember sepp blatter?) and its corrupt new chief is pootin’s pet, who tried to soft pedal yesterday saying russians can compete under ‘neutral territory’ whatever fuck that meant. But Poland, Czech Republic and Sweden said, fuck you, we are not playing with the war criminals and hence, this turnabout.
WOW….the GOP…NO Labels….and DSA…all trying their very best to undermine President Biden…This is truly remarkable…Pres Biden's administration…along with the 🌊True DEMS who support him have put the Fear Of God in them…#WeCanSeeClearly

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Sunday called for humanitarian corridors to help refugees out of Ukraine and said those who make war should not be deluded into thinking that God is on their side.
Speaking to people in St. Peter’s Square, some holding large Ukrainian flags,
Francis also said his “heart is broken” by the war
and condemned those who “trust in the diabolic and perverse logic of weapons.”

“One of the most important things that came out of this tragedy was the activation of an entire new generation of civil rights leaders.” That was part of what President Barack Obama told The Times when we asked him what the killing of Trayvon Martin, 10 years ago Saturday, meant for the United States, the movement for civil rights and for him personally.”

Hillary was 100% right. They are all 100% lowlife deplorables.
Yet another institutional failure. Additional education. What a pathetic travesty.
More than half the murkkka roots for these cowards and traitors.
Guess I’m not the only one who felt this way. This got more than 700 “likes.” President Biden needs to be given credit for what he’s doing to lead our country … by Democrats! … so we don’t end up with TFG again. Ugh.
My fucking french is better than these illiterate fucking morons.
Timely help is godly help.
Came across this.
remarkable, amk
Ukraine’s Zelensky calls on “citizens of world” to join in fight against Russia
In a statement on Sunday, he accused the Russian army of killing civilians and praised Ukrainians for having the courage to defend themselves.
“Ukrainians have manifested the courage to defend their homeland and save Europe and its values from a Russian onslaught. This is not just Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This is the beginning of a war against Europe, against European structures, against democracy, against basic human rights, against a global order of law, rules and peaceful coexistence,” Zelensky said.

Putin orders nuclear deterrent forces on high alert; Ukraine agrees to talks with Russia
“In a statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he spoke with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and agreed to meet with the Russians “without preconditions.”

The rouble has slumped by as much as 40% against the dollar, after Western nations announced new sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The new record low for the Russian currency comes after some of the country’s banks were banned from using the Swift international payment system.
On Sunday, Russia’s central bank appealed for calm amid fears that there could be a run on the country’s banks.

follow the money. always.

Hopefully, the traitorous thug will never be again.
Football’s world governing body Fifa is set to suspend Russia until further notice as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommends that Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials are banned from participating in any organised international competitions.
The suspension would mean Russia’s exclusion from the men’s World Cup qualification play-offs in March.

The corrupt fifa (remember sepp blatter?) and its corrupt new chief is pootin’s pet, who tried to soft pedal yesterday saying russians can compete under ‘neutral territory’ whatever fuck that meant. But Poland, Czech Republic and Sweden said, fuck you, we are not playing with the war criminals and hence, this turnabout.
Other than the belarus thug, the only ones rooting for thug pootin are the rethugs, pox news and of course, the most traitorous thug.
What a fucking pusilaminous pos.
This is Truly astounding
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Sunday called for humanitarian corridors to help refugees out of Ukraine and said those who make war should not be deluded into thinking that God is on their side.
Speaking to people in St. Peter’s Square, some holding large Ukrainian flags,
Francis also said his “heart is broken” by the war
and condemned those who “trust in the diabolic and perverse logic of weapons.”
