Ok,a major issue. I was talking to one of my Ukrainian contacts. She will get it soon, as I invited her to join us. Still committed to fighting Russian disinfo, but most of the guardrails are off.
I expect shadow banning at twitter. It may have started since the feed is slowing and some Ukrainian handles no longer appear.
But I suspect we will get these fine folks too.
Well, I got COVID three months ago. Still. Dealing with long COVID. And for the moment, no vaccines due to inflammation. Can’t wait to get cleared by my doc
Ok, now that I dealt with this…Twitter mess…and it’s getting real toxic, go swim in telegram. A very toxic place, especially Russian telegram
Here are my thoughts, rare as they are these days, on American politics and twitter

This is significant

The initiative to introduce criminal liability for evading military service during the period of mobilization "has lost its relevance and is not being considered by the State Duma," United Russia assures. The pro-Kremlin newspaper Izvestia wrote that United Russia is preparing such a bill. This was motivated by the need to fill a gap in the legislation.
Ukrainian drone boats caused significant damage to the fleet in Sevastopol. In response, Putin again fired missiles, the AFU shot down 44 out of 50. Ukraine is again pushing the boundaries of the possible, demonstrating that it can be supplied with ATACMS.

‼️ Zelensky had a telephone conversation with Sholtz. The Ukrainian leader expressed his gratitude to Germany for the air defense systems provided to our country. "We must build an air shield over Ukraine," the president emphasized. In the conversation, the parties also raised the issue of the continuation of the "grain agreement", the termination of which threatens a number of countries of the world with famine. @uaobozrevatel
So, we finally, obviously, crossed the threshold normalizing political violence. The attack on Paul Pelosi, and the reaction by the fascist right is that point.
Before the civil war there were fights in congress. Now it’s normal again. I guess tomorrow will write on that, instead of Ukraine.
Vote. It matters
"Putin's cook" Prigozhin unexpectedly called Zelensky "a nice guy, even though he is the president of an enemy country." The founder of the "Wagner" PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin unexpectedly complimented the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. He called the Ukrainian leader a "nice guy" and noted his self-confidence.
Color me cynical, but he wants something. 👀👀👇👇
@Jallaj1 trying to follow the Paul Pelosi story over at bird app…traffic is noticeably lower already
The Czech Republic and Ukraine signed a joint declaration in which the Czech Republic promises to help Ukraine achieve NATO membership and continue to support Ukraine in the war against the Russian Federation. @yigal_levin
today there are many more opportunities to reach the Russian audience with facts about the war and comparing Russian propaganda with factual information. Winning the information war inside Russia will help win it on other fronts as well—and prevent future incursions by the Putin regime.
Russia is not China, and there is no “great firewall” there. Some social networks, primarily YouTube and Telegram, are not blocked. VPNs are not prohibited. Compared to the times of the Cold War, when the West used the Russian-language broadcasts of Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, the BBC and Deutsche Welle,
In addition to providing weapons support to the Ukrainian army and imposing new sanctions against Russia, the West should devote more resources to the information battle for the minds of Russians. Success in it is possible.
Information warfare is important. This is via a Russian channel:
