"Maybe this May will be the last of the bad months, before things start to get better." The trailer for May Flowers, a feature-length doc by me & @patrick_pittman (collectively @nomediaco) of a dilated moment, not so long ago, that our bodies are already beginning to forget?

How is the war in Ukraine going? Today they confirmed the death of Russian General Major Suhovetsky. He's unsurprisingly a paratrooper. So let's discuss the role of paratroopers in Russian military doctrine. That'll shed a light on the course of this war and why Russia lost it🧵

Re Putin’s claims of “Denazifying” Ukraine. The country has four extreme-right parties that might be called neo-Nazi. Three of them have zero seats in the national legislature. The fourth has one of the 450 seats. Together they get 2% of the popular vote, less than in Russia

Based on research into declassified Soviet archives historians later conclude that the attack on Mainila was a false flag operation carried out by the Soviet NKVD. In 1994 President Boris Yeltsin acknowledges the Winter War as a Soviet act of aggression. 3/3
Four days later, 27 divisions of the Red Army and more than 600,000 soldiers invade Finland, breaking its non-aggression pact with its neighbour and commencing the Winter War. 2/3

If you believe Dr. Ford (& accounts of Kavanaugh’s drinking) but also believe him, a possibility to reconcile their testimony is that she is telling the truth & he is telling what he believes is the truth but he does not remember the incident because he was drunk.

If you told millennials how more brutish and miserable high school was in the 1980s, they wouldn't believe you. Until today.

If confirmed, how does Kavanaugh make case he’s an independent judge when he’s just gone on a screed about “the left” and “the Clintons” ???

Did Kavanaugh not just disqualify himself for the job by vowing revenge on Democrats? Does not seem very judicial-like
