And, I'd just like to point out that, for 250 years, you haven't heard us Native Americans complain about shit. The "fuck your feelings" crowd sure gets their feelings fucked.

Here is Jordan Klepper's entire special on how the GOP became the Party of Putin.

Brace yourself in that vid for another display of MAGA ignorance and stupidity.

The Kremlin is still using unmoderated social media and fake news sites to push disinformation and propaganda into the conspiracy-loving minds of Trump supporters. GOP members of Congress are among them.

The MAGA love for Putin is not due only to media manipulation. Putin's domestic policies closely mirror how the far right would govern in our country: official homophobia, greater income inequality, special treatment for billionaire oligarchs, rigged elections, a de facto official religion, poor consumer protection, censorship, restrictions on abortion, assassination of political opponents, and a lot more. What's not to like in Russia for a US far right fundamentalist? The fringe right pines for the days when women were in the kitchen, Jesus was in the classroom, gays were in the closet, and blacks were completely out of sight.

To truly understand Russia, it's absolutely necessary to talk with its neighbors – not with Tucker Carlson. So Jordan visited Estonia and met with Prime Minister Kaja Kallas.

IMHO, part of the Putin love by some Americans stems from an almost pathological ignorance of Eastern Europe. After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, some idiots began proclaiming "the end of history" and whatever little learning about Eastern Europe which may have taken place in K-12 education then vanished totally.

Putin, a former officer in the Soviet secret police, wants to revive the Soviet Union in all but name. And imperialism is part of that plan.

People in the US who cheer Putin are like the Americans who applauded Hitler in the 1930s. As long as there is substantial support for Putin here we should worry about such people trying to make the US more like totalitarian Russia.

Nach 11 sehr produktiven Jahren in Zürich verabschiedet sich CHRISTIAN SPUCK mit einer letzten Choreographie von seinem Publikum, seinem Ensemble, seiner grossartigen Zusammenarbeit mit der Philharmonia Zürich. “On the Move” ist ein treffender Titel für diesen Abend, denn Spuck bricht auf nach Berlin und übernimmt dort die Intendanz des Staatsballetts. “On the Move” ist aber auch die erste der…

Even as some universities are finally cracking down on the groups behind the explosion of campus anti-Semitism, the fact that it has taken them so long to do so is a reminder of the damage that’s been done.

Yesterday brought two connected revelations: First, George Washington University will suspend Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) this academic year. Second, Maher Bitar is considered a leading candidate to be the director of national intelligence in a potential Kamala Harris administration.

SJP, reports Jewish Insider, will be “prohibited from hosting on-campus events and lose all university funding.” It wasn’t immediately clear which rules the group broke, but it would probably be easier to ask what rules, if any, the group has followed. The move comes in the wake of what may prove to be a game-changing ruling from a federal judge who scolded UCLA for allowing and abetting the violation of Jewish students’ civil rights, mainly through the tentifada protest camps that sought to prohibit Jewish students from accessing communal buildings and classrooms.

For years, groups like SJP have been building a movement to push Jews from the public square. Given Kamala Harris’s polling surge, that movement is on the verge of unprecedented representation in a presidential administration.

One example, and a very important one at that, is Maher Bitar, “who ascended from Adam Schiff’s legal advisor to senior director of intelligence on the N.S.C. to, most recently, the N.S.C.’s chief coordinator for intelligence and defense policy,” Julia Ioffe notes in Puck, adding: “Could he be offered the D.N.I. job or some kind of senior role in the I.C. under Harris? Very likely.”
