(Jewish Group) Ukrainian Jews Angry and Appalled at Putin's 'Denazification' Claim
https://twitter.com/ADL/status/1496911681099898881Not just Ukraine: 'Putin uses Iran to make America look weak.' LISTEN
President Vladimir Putin stated in an address to the Russian people on Thursday morning that the purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kyiv regime.
To this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians including against citizens of the Russian Federation, he said, condemning far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
Shortly after the speech, the Ukrainian government's official Twitter account posted a depiction of Adolf Hitler proudly caressing the face of Putin. It wrote: "This is nto a 'meme,' but our and your reality right now."

Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star has been a bust and is hurting Texas Naitonal Guardsmen
In order to fight off primary challenges from some RWNJs who are to his right (Allen West and Don Huffines), Greg called up and stationed a good number of Texas National Guard personnel to go to the border and do nothing https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/02/01/haste-and-planning-failures-doomed-operation-lone-stars-troops-to-suffer/
Never before has Texas or any other state involuntarily activated so many troops under state active duty authority for such a long-term mission. Nor has it been done so quickly.....
During a two-month period beginning in September, Operation Lone Star ballooned from a lean 1,000-volunteer outfit to a mandatory mobilization of up to 10,000 members of the Texas Military Department. According to a senior Guard leaders leaked comments during a virtual town hall for unit leaders, theyre expecting the current wave of troops to be there for a year, and theyre preparing for yet another wave of deployments......
The National Guard is primarily staffed by part-time troops who have civilian jobs, lives and families. Sometimes theyre called to full-time duty by the federal government. Those deployments are often yearlong missions, but Guardsmen are alerted months ahead of time so they can get their affairs in order and troops alerted less than 120 days prior to deployment usually cant be forced to go.
This was a political stunt by Greg because he is in a primary
In May, Abbott faced his first major challenge from his right flank after former state Sen. Don Huffines of Dallas, a millionaire with money to spend, announced his entry in the 2022 gubernatorial primary. Two months later, Huffines was joined by Allen West, the former U.S. representative from Florida and chair of the Republican Party of Texas. Both blasted Abbott for failing to secure the border.
This article has some disturbing facts including that there were no kitchens set up initially and guardsmen had to go to restaurants to be fed. In addition, there were no toilet facilities and so guardsmen either had to use bushes or be taken to filing stations.
Greg has been using these guardsmen as a political tool because he is facing a real primary challenge and will be facing a real candidate in the general election. Beto has been discussing the poor treatment of these guardsmen and this will be an issue in the general election

ACLU said Wednesday that Abbott's letter and Paxton's opinion "have no legal effect"
Beto and the ACLU are standing up to Greg Abbott and Paxton on this bullshit

One of Abbotts fiercest opponents is his current rival for the Texas governorship. In a tweet Wednesday, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto ORourke said:
Foster kids have been forced to sleep on the floor in Abbotts CPS system where harm to children is overlooked, ignored or forgotten. Texas leads the nation in uninsured kids. Now @GregAbbott_TX is cruelly and obsessively bullying children. Texas kids deserve so much better.
BETO OROURKE
The ACLU said Wednesday that Abbotts letter and Paxtons opinion have no legal effect and cant override the constitutional rights of Texas families. The organization further commented that no U.S. court has ever found gender-affirming care to be tantamount to child abuse.
