As a reminder, already since 2022 #Russia had been confiscating over 60% of the assets of the Western companies merely willing to leave Russia:
Euroclear plans to seize and redistribute about 3 billion euros ($3.4 billion) of Russia’s funds that are frozen at the Belgian clearing firm after Moscow grabbed investor cash in #Russia, according to documents seen by Reuters and people familiar with the matter.

Today is the day! Regional Medical Center is now officially a PUBLIC hospital!
That means it will continue to provide the full range of essential services to everyone in East Side San Jose and beyond. Huge victory for grassroots community organizing.

New intelligence reviewed by US and Western officials suggests Putin may have shifted his immediate focus in the Ukraine war toward the shorter-term objectives of solidifying his hold on territory his forces have seized and boosting his country’s struggling economy.

Have you noticed how little talk about the war in #Ukraine ?
( 'dear' #putin did not stop killing #Ukrainians )
or what's #bibi is doing ....
So much of the destruction in the USA is away from the spotlight at grass roots level. But the foundations of a modern society are being smashed. The National Science Foundation has just stopped awarding new grants and funding existing ones. That effectively means that work on all existing NSF grants has to stop immediately. Universities are telling researchers to stop spending on those grants right away. That's jobs and progress and opportunity just being eradicated.
In some meetings, you wear a red band around your arm, in others, you bring your red basecap.
Yes. That is in fact what just happened.
"In the first 100 days of Adolf Hitler's appointment as chancellor in 1933, Germany transformed from a troubled democracy to a country that put into practice extreme repression and limitations on personal freedom" ( Peter Fritzsche, An Iron Wind, 2016)
BREAKING NEWS 🚨
After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.
Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces as well.

January Tesla sales are down 75% in Spain, 63% in France, 59% in Germany, 44% in Sweden, 38% in Norway, 42% in the Netherlands, and 33% in Australia. I guess being a nazi is bad for business. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wanna talk about a "Security Crisis"?
If #Republicans vote to confirm #TulsiGabbard to be the head of Nat'l Intelligence (all *18* agencies), NONE of our allies will EVER share intelligence with a #Putin-loving #Assad fan-girl who was appointed by moron who's a Nat'l Security risk himself who burned an undercover Israeli Intel Agent the first month of his first term, and appointed a #WAA alcoholic womanizer as Secretary of Defense.
Trump nominated a MAGA loyalist named #Pam #Bondi to be Attorney General.
The Attorney General, of course, runs the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
Bondi has been a lobbyist for 30 corporations and foreign governments.
Her clients have included companies that are major contractors with or are facing enforcement actions from the DOJ.
She signed on to be part of Trump’s legal team during his first impeachment trial.
And she has echoed Trump’s false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
On Thursday, I testified at a Senate hearing about Bondi’s nomination and urged senators to reject her nomination.
Here’s some of what I said in my testimony:
“If Pam Bondi’s nomination as Attorney General proceeds, we fear she will instead be a driven loyalist to Donald Trump and take actions that reflect the needs of the entities she so recently represented.
The Senate should refuse to confirm Pam Bondi to be Attorney General of the United States.”
