@alanthefisher @DE_Gifford There is some truth to this video regarding why they widen

Oleg Deripaska, a key Putin oligarch ally, posted a scathing anti-war commentary on Telegram

It also ripped into Joe Biden's Warsaw speech. Some more details /1

Deripaska accused Biden of falsely framing the Ukraine war as a conflict between NATO and Russian oligarchs

He sarcastically asks, "apparently they planned it. Who? Potanin with Yevtushenkov"

This builds on Medvedev's recent comments that oligarchs did not influence Putin /2

Deripaska described the war as "madness" and said "we will be ashamed for a long time before our descendants"

He also stated that Russia and Ukraine, and the West by proxy, extinguished their hope of diplomacy, and instead created a "hellish ideological mobilization" /3

Deripaska predicted that Russia's war with Ukraine could last a "few more years," as all participants in the conflict (unnamed but presumably Putin, Biden and Zelensky) had elections in 2024

He called this escalation a "crazy turn" and invoked the movie "The Tail Wags the Dog /4

Deripaska's strident tone could have personal motives

Australian sanctions on alumina cut directly into his business, and his Western assets have been frozen

But it illustrates the potential for public Russian oligarch discontent as the war rages on /5

@AlexSeverino4 Part of the promise of widening the avenues was that they would be wide enough to build subways. Subways were proposed several times but never built.

Zuckerberg, Murdoch and Putin gave us Trump. If you think Elon Musk’s hostile takeover bid for Twitter is not an existential crisis for America, you’re wrong. @Twitter

Saying “I’m going to delete Twitter” is missing the point. If right wing billionaires control the media they control minds, elections and the world.
How are you going to delete your way out of that?

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4649: Ted Cruz's reverse Rorschach.

2/ Why is Ted Cruz standing in this particular manner? Dissecting this moment gives us a peek into the Senator's Psyche.

3/ Clasping hands in front of the lower abdomen/groin region is known as a Fig Leaf configuration or Genital Guarding.

4/ Cruz's hands are positioned somewhat higher here, but this carries with it much of the same meaning (albeit, slightly watered-down).

5/ Holding one's hands in a Genital Guarding or Fig Leaf manner is a manifestation of the need for protection. A person is trying to insulate themself from perceived threats.

@mortreux_jc This website is a pretty good place to start.

Despite talk about its commitment to equality and inclusion, Disney has donated to every single sponsor and co-sponsor of the "Don't Say Gay" bill.
In fact, Disney has funded the legislators filing anti-LGBTQ bills for years.
And the company isn't

And make no mistake:
Disney knows exactly who these people are.

this needs to be spread everywhere

If you are fed up with Greg Abbott's corruption, let's turn that anger into action. Today at this link, we are splitting all contributions directly with the Beto O’Rourke campaign. Chip in here and let’s get rid of Greg Abbott once and for all:

@13molon For those of who were there, inflation racked the 70’s, Carter with Volcker were the ones who took the political hit, raised interest rates to finally tame inflation which his predecessors didn’t have the courage to address, and Reagan happily to credit for.
Learn your history.

@duty2warn @MalcolmNance @Twitter Why does he have money to buy Twitter,but not pay taxes?
