A brief review of recent technical “errors” at Meta:
1. Restricting the Facebook pages of Brazilian president Lula who is in a runoff election against a Trump-favored candidate
2. Shutting down the pages of Albanians protesting Jared Kushner’s plans to build a luxury resort in the country
3. Rejecting ads for a documentary critical of Elon Musk
4. Shutting down the No Kings instagram page in the middle of a major anti-Trump protest

Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.

THIS IS ALARMING AND HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS! Why is FBI Director, Kash Patel, in Russia over the next two days meeting with officials there? There is NO explanation from the White House on his his purpose. 🤬The FBI works on domestic issues, NOT foreign issues. It’s a FACT that Russia interfered with our previous elections and our midterms are only 20 days away. I’m concerned. We must ALL vote this election and create a blue tsunami so large that Trump cannot cheat. If you vote by mail, DO NOT put your ballot in the mail. Please take to a safe and secure drop box. #VoteBlue #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
FBI Director Kash Patel was not in Russia but at a law enforcement event at Liberty University in Virginia, per the FBI and video evidence refuting the report. A Russia trip was reported as planned earlier but the claimed current meetings did not occur.

The West is waking up to a simple fact: MAGA chose Russia.
For eighty years, Americans knew Moscow was the adversary. Truman knew it. Kennedy knew it. Reagan called the Soviet Union an evil empire. American soldiers prepared to stop Russian armour in Europe, taxpayers financed NATO, and intelligence officers spent careers penetrating the Kremlin.
Russia never changed. It invaded Georgia, seized Crimea, poisoned opponents, interfered in Western elections, attacked Western institutions, and launched the largest war in Europe since 1945.
What changed was part of America.
Trump spent years shouting “Russia, Russia, Russia” and “hoax”. It was never a hoax. Russian interference was real. The campaign to weaken NATO, divide America, discredit institutions and separate the US from Europe was real.
The Kremlin failed to break the West from outside. MAGA started helping from within.
So congratulations, Russia. You lost the Cold War, then found Americans willing to attack the alliance that defeated you and call it patriotism.
Quite a victory.

It does seem like Putin is rushing fo get the most possible out of his client Trump before the electoral bloodbath of 3 November.
NEW: Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials and troops tell @FT.

Trump’s invitation to Putin to attend the 2026 Florida G20 summit is beyond the Pale. Putin’s a war criminal and enemy of Western democracy intent on destroying the world order. He’ll simply exploit this to claim victory and tighten autocracy in Russia and we shouldn’t be there.

The Putin-allied oligarch who helped pay for @DonaldJTrumpJr's wedding is heavily involved in a group that is under Ukrainian sanctions for its alleged role in a program that abducts Ukrainian children from occupied territories. propublica.org/article/donal…

The tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainians Russia has murdered under Putin's command will have no incredible stories and their families will have only memories of them. What a disgrace, these worms supposedly representing America.

God help us.
America has traitors among us at the highest levels.
Shaking the hand of and grinning at the man who kills Ukrainian children and bombs shopping malls. Murdered old people. And freedom fighters like Alexi Navalny. It's disgraceful. Reagan is rolling over in his grave.
One of the lowest points in American history.
Two grifting scumbags, representing financial interests of the US President, groveling before a mass murdering dictator that's currently helping Iran murder Americans and waging war against every American ally that's fought alongside the US, all for promises of lucrative business deals that Putin will never give them.

Todd Blanche put Ghislaine Maxwell in a minimum security prison.
Todd Blanche illegally exposed Epstein's victims, including nude pictures.
Todd Blanche protected the rapists who paid to rape children.
Todd Blanche was fine with Donald Trump pardoning Juan Orlando Hernández, a convicted Cartel boss and drug trafficker.
Todd Blanche was fine with the pardon of Changpeng Zhao who laundered money for human traffickers and drug cartels.
Todd Blanche was fine with sending Kilmar Armando Ábrego García to die in prison, even though he'd never been convicted of a crime.
Todd Blanche tried to prosecute Abrego García on fabricated charges to save Trump the embarrassment.
Todd Blanche was willing to let an actual human trafficker out of prison early to "testify" against Abrego García.
Todd Blanche signed off on a deal that would allow Donald Trump and his family immunity from tax fraud after they corruptly made billions of dollars off of Trump's Presidential powers, selling pardons and policy to whoever would pay for them.
Todd Blanche was, and still considers himself to be, Donald Trump's personal attorney.
Todd Blanche was willing to send David Hearn to prison for a crime that not only did Hearn not commit, but a crime that wasn't even committed, all to not make Donald Trump look bad.
Any one of those things would be disqualifying for any other AG nominee, but not for this one.
But now, Todd Blanche is the Attorney General of the United States.
And the issue here isn't just the things he has done, but what he has shown himself willing to do.
If the past is prologue, how can we trust that this man, entrusted with the protection of the rule of law, won't just openly flay it?
Every Senator who voted to confirm him is a shameless, vile, disgusting, America-hating, antipatriotic bag of fermented dog vomit. Shame on every last one of them.

In case the President needs a refresher — we went to court against him and his allies 43 times in 2020 to defend our free and fair elections.
He went 0-43.
We're going to keep protecting our democracy –– and we will never let Donald Trump succeed in undermining the will of the people here in Pennsylvania.

This is what it looks like when Trump's billionaire allies own the social media platforms we use.

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on January 20th, 2025, it would be worth $415 today.
You lost everything. He made half a billion.

This year, Trump purchased more than $1 million of Dell stock.
This week, Trump's Pentagon announced a $9.7 billion contract with Dell.

This SCOTUS rulings so far
•Universities using race criteria to counter historical racism in admissions is unconstitutional, BUT
•ICE fascists using race criteria to target people of color is constitutional, BUT
•State legislatures using race criteria to counter historical voter suppression is unconstitutional, BUT
•Trump using race criteria to enact travel bans is constitutional
In short—race criteria that centers white people is constitutional, but race criteria otherwise is unconstitutional😐

MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you.
1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world.
2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled.
3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations.
4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East.
5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon.
6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill.
7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs.
8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt.
9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world.
10. We’re not the freeloaders.

Trump: do as I say, or I will bomb you back to the stone ages
Iran: best I can do is this 10 point plan where you give us everything we want
Trump: deal!

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better.
