I was bullied as a kid.
At secondary school (Elgin High School) I had enough of one particular bully, and totally punched him in the nose in the school corridor as we waited for the teacher to unlock the door.
The teacher came along, opened the door, told the class to go in, except us two.
He turned to the bully and told him to go to the toilets to clean up - there was blood. Then he said to me: "I saw nothing, go inside!"
I was renewed from that moment on.

Volodymyr Zelensky faced up to Donald Trump yesterday, and his lapdog, JD Vance, and gave Trump a bloody nose on the world stage.
Trump is a bully. No question. JD is his toady.
You have all seen Christmas Story. That happened!

Stand up to bullies in your life and worldwide.

The letter also claims that federal #law prohibits #schools from #teaching or promoting certain ideas about #race that the Dept of #Education deems unacceptable.

The dept gives schools until Feb 28 to comply…or risk losing their federal #funding, which would endanger the existence of many #colleges & #universities. This threat is a brazen attempt to #bully schools into making policy changes that the law does not require.

What Trump Really Wants From Greenland and Panama | The New Republic

Yes, the president-elect really is serious about expanding the U.S. But what he mostly wants is to bully small countries that won’t fight back.

To show his power, the power he never had...

First, the commonalities.

Both groups are dominated by #white #cis #males with chips on their shoulders. Read, #ToxicMasculinity

Both groups view themselves as indispensable actors in maintaining #AmericanExceptionalism

Both view #power as the secret sauce to their indispensable exceptionalism, and hence, are wont to #bully those who disagree.

Both tend toward forming exclusive #clubs to increase said bullying power. See below ... ianwelsh.net/on-the-use-of-clu

And both cohorts are massive.

So let's break them down ... 🧵 /2

Interesting to read how politics on one side of the world, influence activities on another side of the world:

'Asked if Russian intelligence might be conducting similar sabotage operations against the US by abetting illegal migration across the Mexico border, Burns said:

“It’s something we are very sharply focused on. Part of that is a function of so many Russian agents [being] kicked out of Europe.

So they are looking for somewhere to go instead.”

Their leadership & membership have long sought to #bully #LGBTQ+ #children & their families, whether thru advocacy for anti-LGBTQ+ #legislation at the state level or the promotion of #BookBans which are deeply unpopular w/parents of all political stripes. The grp also has deep ties to #WhiteNationalist groups like the #ProudBoys & the authors of #Project2025, the #HeritageFoundation. In short, #Trump makes perfect sense as their keynote.
