#russia emails

[novuit]

Another I drew for my superpower relations exam this time. It's been years since I've drawn both Hungary and Russia; I think it's time I try to give the spotlight to other characters lol.

I listened to this song on loop for like 4 hours while studying the Hungarian Uprising so I drew this I also wanted to draw Ivan's sausage fingers

Russia [FSB] hacked Democrats and Republicans in the US.

FSB leaked DNC emails to influence elections.

FSB used hacked RNC emails to compromise, exploit, and blackmail all Republicans.

FSB coordinated with Trump campaign in 2016 and 2020.

Dots connected. Russia is the enemy. The Russian agenda is NOT our agenda.

Matt Gertz at MMFA:

On the right, the word of the week is “Rubicon.”  MAGA commentators from social media to Fox News are arguing that President Joe Biden and the Democrats passed a point of no return when a Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a scheme to conceal the hush-money payoff made to a porn star in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign.  They claim Trump is the victim of a politicized prosecution that requires Republicans to respond in kind by trying to throw Democrats in jail.

But Trump’s supporters are just trying to concoct a righteous excuse for doing what they have already done. Trump and the right-wing press spent his presidency teaming up to demand federal criminal probes of his political foes, only for those investigations to collapse when Trump’s own law enforcement appointees assessed the purported Democratic crimes. Indeed, Republicans and Trump appointees have overseen nearly all of the high-profile investigations of political figures conducted over the last decade. When those Republicans and Trump appointees have investigated Republicans, the probes have regularly led to criminal charges and convictions, and when those Republicans and Trump appointees have investigated Democrats, they largely have not.  And for all the right’s claims of politicized prosecutions, the record shows Democratic presidents bending over backward to appear impartial, while Trump as president constantly and publicly accused his political opponents of crimes and demanded their prosecution.

Republicans keep finding Republican crimes

One of the huge holes in the right’s argument is their claim that Biden is connected to Trump’s myriad legal travails.  Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who successfully prosecuted Trump, is a Democrat — but he was elected by New York voters and charged Trump under state law, requiring the right to gin up a baroque conspiracy theory to explain how Biden supposedly masterminded the probe.  Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney who filed racketeering charges in Georgia over Trump’s election subversion plot, is likewise elected in her own right without a tie to Biden.

Meanwhile, Trump’s classified documents and January 6 federal prosecutions are led by Jack Smith, a political independent who prosecuted politicians of both parties as head of the Justice Department’s political corruption unit. Smith took over probes launched under FBI director Christopher Wray, a Trump-appointed Republican, and received special counsel status from Biden-appointed Attorney General Merrick Garland to keep him walled off from political pressure. Trump is now a convicted felon like many of his former associates, including his former legal fixer Michael Cohen, his former campaign chair Paul Manafort, and his longtime political consigliere Roger Stone. Robert Mueller, a Republican who was appointed as FBI director by President George W. Bush, led their successful prosecutions. Mueller in turn was hand-picked to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election by Rod Rosenstein, a Republican and a Trump appointee at the Justice Department.

Republicans keep not finding Democratic crimes

At the same time, the MAGA media spent years demanding the Trump Justice Department conduct criminal probes of high-profile Democrats and other public officials who had otherwise tangled with Trump. Fox hosts like Sean Hannity, a close adviser to the former president, would read long lists of purported crimes committed by Trump’s political opponents and demand they face justice. 

But when Republicans and Trump appointees actually tried to turn frothy right-wing media reports into real cases, they failed. Trump led chants of “lock her up” during his campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but FBI Director James Comey — a Republican who oversaw the probe of her use of a private server — recommended no charges against her, and Trump’s law enforcement appointees apparently found no cause to reverse that determination.  Nor did Trump-appointed Republicans bring charges following federal probes of the Clinton Foundation and the Hillary Clinton Uranium One pseudoscandal. And the much-touted probe into the origins of the Russia probe, overseen by a Trump appointee with the full backing of Trump Attorney General William Barr, ended with a whimper.

Ever since the 34-count felony verdict against Donald Trump was handed down last week, the MAGA cult and their mouthpieces have been screeching about a “Rubicon” by demanding frivolous investigations into from Democrats in retaliation.

h..i I'm not really on here, and not looking at notes rn, just letting u know i'm alive lol.

this blog became too toxic/enabling of me collapsing... too much social media is bad... saying too much feelings on social media without an idea of change is bad...

I think i may have gotten addicted to sympathy. (and then i'd say things and scare myself to death of someone saying something mean and it would be vicious cycle and I'd stay awake at night... ) because i didn't have much . like ever (or too much i don't even know

i'd be too much of a ghost coming back to this now... perhaps enable same cycle.

but i'm trying to m ov e for rward.. :D

I hope everyone that abstained from voting in the election understands this; you've been scammed. Whatever that influencer or trusted content creator told you, they lied.

Abstaining from voting only gives us the worst possible bastard to have taken office, and we had Regan to contend with him on that front.

I hope you realize this as he dismantle the EPA and what little federal protections we had for marginalized folks. I hope that when you do, you vote wherever you can until they either take that right away or you die of old age.

I hope your privilege keeps you insulated enough for harm to fail to find you.

I save things on my email drafts. I am looking back at what I had saved starting February 24, 2022. It's interesting to see what I was saving then, the progression, what I was finding out and how, what I was thinking about.

Of course, I didn't save everything I looked at. But perhaps it would be interesting to show this-- a relic but part of the ongoing narrative that is at the same time personal, what I felt was interesting enough to save.

I think I will make a separate tumblr of it-- to preserve and also to share. Others might want to look at the links. And see what was going on then, how the war was perceived etc

Приглядываю за иконками!

10.08.2023

Я ненавижу когда разработчики приложек меняют иконки или дизайны слишком радикально, до сих пор не могу отойти от смены иконки Яндекс.Музыки, ненавижу новые иконки Фотошопа и Иллюстратора.

Вчера обновилась очень важная для меня программа — Тандербёрд, сразу на Винде и на Маке!

Дизайн самой приложки улучшился, кайф.

Иконка тоже изменилась, с одной стороны она стала в одном стиле с Файрфоксом, ну типо они одной крови и философии, но прошлая иконка была в приятном ретро, но ладно в целом норм, видно что они осторожненько, лааааадно — почти норм.

Старая версия:

Новая версия:

Ну типо в стиле Файрфокса:

Единственное на что остаётся надеяться, что в конце концов упрощения не приведут вот к такому:

so i just had the realization that We (sweden) are hosting this years eurovision. its hosted in malmö (the city with the highest immigrant population more or less in sweden)

and the ebu has set a precedent with disallowing russia and belarus from participating due to the war in ukraine

leveraging this precedent of banning russia due to its occupation of ukraine, there could be a case for pestering the ebu to exclude israel on the same grounds

so like call your congressman email info@ebu.ch or another ebu address, call them even, no use just complaining on tumblr on this issue at least

be courteous and non accusatory and maybe theyll take it fucking seriously

[skeppsbrott]

If you're talking about boycotting Eurovision with regards to their continued inclusion of Israel, regardless of whether you usually watch it or not, I assume you have already contacted 1) EBU 2) the broadcasting company airing Eurovision in your region, to demand the EBU bar Israel from the contest.

A civilian U.S. Air Force employee has been charged with disclosing classified defense information to a woman he met on a foreign online dating platform, the Justice Department said on Monday. David Franklin Slater, 63, was taken into custody in Nebraska on Friday on a three-count federal indictment. He was expected to make an initial court appearance on Tuesday.

The indictment accuses Slater of giving classified material by email and online messages about the Russia-Ukraine war to someone claiming to be a woman living in Ukraine.

Boo wrong war
