When I wrote yesterday that much more would be written about him, I didnโt know how I would write itโfor how could one possibly explain?
Scenes like these were deeply influential and foundational to my development as a human being.

Donald Trump functions as a Russian asset, and the entire GOP is going along with it. Their legacy is their complicity - vote them out.

Iโm on Twitter / X through a VPN in Dallas, Texas, following the midterm elections. Iโm actually based in the Netherlands.
And honestly, Iโm absolutely stunned by the sheer scale of MAGA propaganda being shoved down Americansโ throats.
Itโs as if Elon Musk has shoved a billion-dollar funnel into the mouths of American voters and is force-feeding them a grotesque blend of oligarchic and fascist propaganda until all that comes out is Republican foie gras.
The amount of Republican propaganda flooding your timeline is genuinely insane.
1. The so-called โAmericaโ account.
At the very top of the #1 Trending Topics, youโll find an advertisement from an account called โAmericaโ.
Except itโs not America.
Itโs a Republican propaganda account, sporting a gold verification badge, designed to manipulate and indoctrinate American voters.
2. Open Twitter / X from Texas.
A video automatically starts playing, portraying James Talarico as some kind of public enemy.
Cheap, shameless political propaganda.
Not a single word about his opponent, Ken Paxton.
Just an endless stream of attacks on Talarico.
Wonder why?
Perhaps because Ken Paxton has quite a little history of his own:
โAlleged corruption involving wealthy donor Nate Paul.
โAbuse of public office.
โAlleged bribery.
โSecurities fraud charges.
โAlleged obstruction of justice.
โRetaliation against whistleblowers.
โFiring employees who reported him to the FBI.
โAlleged misuse of taxpayer-funded resources.
โAlleged interference in law-enforcement investigations.
โAlleged preferential treatment of political donors.
โUndisclosed compensation for promoting a companyโs stock.
โEmployment assistance for a woman with whom he acknowledged having an affair.
โImpeachment by the Republican-controlled Texas House.
โAcquittal by the Texas Senate.
โA $6.6 million whistleblower settlement.
โControversy over extensive travel and taxpayer-funded security expenses.
Quite a rรฉsumรฉ, isnโt it?
3. Fearmongering.
Republicans are also pushing the narrative that if Democrats win, democracy itself will be doomed.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Theyโre telling Americans that voting for Democrats is somehow a vote against democracy.
The irony is apparently completely lost on them.
4. Project 2025.
And then thereโs Project 2025.
A detailed political blueprint for fundamentally reshaping the American federal government, concentrating executive power and dismantling longstanding institutional safeguards.
Critics have warned that its proposals threaten democratic checks and balances and could pave the way for authoritarian rule.
This isnโt some obscure conspiracy theory.
Its ideas are already influencing and being implemented in American politics.
5. Try a little experiment.
Google โJames Talaricoโ.
The first two results youโll encounter are sponsored advertisements paid for by TEXAS PAC and MAGA Inc.
Both pushing anti-Democratic messaging.
(See attached screenshot.)
This is what American voters are up against.
An unprecedented propaganda machine, backed by billionaires, political PACs and a social media platform that has become an increasingly powerful vehicle for partisan messaging.
And apparently, weโre supposed to believe this is all just about freedom of speech.
America, you deserve better than this.
Vote Blue. Vote Talarico. Vote for democracy. Vote for peace. For neighborliness. For tolerance. Vote against hate. Vote against polarization. Vote for your wallet. Vote to keep your freedom. Vote for inclusion ans tolerance.
Vote James Talarico.
Do what is needed for the future or yourself รกnd your children.
Like โค๏ธ and RT this please.

Ik kwam er dus achter dat X deze draad bewust onzichtbaar aan het maken is in commentsecties. Dus laat ik hem nog eens onder de aandacht brengen, misschien wel tijd voor een deel II.
1/25 In deze draad zal ik het hebben over @cultuurfilosoof ofwel Jelle van Baardewijk. Hij is docent bedrijfsethiek aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam maar bekender als presentator en gast van de Nieuwe Wereld en analist bij Jort Kelders podcasts.

Elon is clearly throttling pro-Ukraine accounts ahead of the midterms.
And it wouldn't be the first time - he boosted his own posts after Biden's tweet was more popular than his, and recently he's promoting his posts as ads so that even those who have muted him have to seem them.
By the way, is your like still here:
In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.

More people died last night in a school shooting in the US than in two weeks of demonstrations/rioting in Europe with a margin equal to the total casualties.
USA should stop lecturing us.

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracyโand Abdul is the one fighting to protect it.
Get involved and help at abdulforsenate.com/vote

We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority canโt just decide that some people donโt deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom weโve found in America didnโt happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too.
We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. Itโs one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries.
Thatโs why I find it so alarming to see whatโs happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume theyโre safe from what comes next.
Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now weโre seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells.
Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We canโt protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it.

Bucha. It was a genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people. They tortured people. We found the grave. There were, I believe, around 500 people. When we liberated those towns near Kyiv, there emerged this, you know, this kind of hatred for the Russians, right at that moment. Not even at the moment when they started the full-scale war. Back then nobody understood what it really was yet. People understood what this war was and what Putin did personally when we found those mass graves of tortured adults, children. I mean they didn't just kill them, they tortured and killed them.
When we liberated Bucha, I said, bring every journalist here. Don't touch anything, just bring the journalists. The whole world simply has to see this. Imagine finding a mass grave in the U.S. or in Britain, God forbid, with 500 tortured people, adults, kids, dogs, animals shot dead. I mean, they held hunting sprees there from military vehicles. People were running, they were shooting, just hunting, playing games. They literally just played with people, like slavery. So how, after this, can you listen to Putin? And how, after this, can you forgive?

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A โshahedโ struck people directly โ in a park near an ordinary cafรฉ. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller โ her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025โฆ Her motherโs name was Inna. She died in the hospitalโฆ Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down โshaheds,โ shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used โ against the murderers.
