I can't belive the family in the US who think the entire war is staged. I might understand if they lived in Russia with no access to outside news but wow.
His family is in Russia. Only he is in America. But if some Russians know what's going on and are protesting, the rest are blindly listening to propaganda and not looking for themselves.
Yep, Putin has cut off all access to news. Except for people who google BBC and can get there. But the Russia citizens KNOW. 5-7,000 protesters have been arrested - so many families know THAT. And 2-7,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine. The body bags are returning - so those greatly saddened Russian families know that. The Rs are used to propaganda, endless versions of lies. They know better. It's very dangerous to protest or even mention "war." Putin is calling it "liberation."
Read Seth Abramson on twitter - a long essay on what is ACTUALLY happening. We ARE at war, right now. AND a genocide is in progress in Ukraine.
The number of protesters has gone up -- 13,000 so far. But they also know it's dangerous to say anything that disagrees with Putin's propaganda. I will go look up Seth Abramson -- thanks for that.
A writer shared he’s pitching his book idea to agents for traditional publishing, so there’s less work to writing and marketing it. I was aghast but said nothing. I don’t know where he got that idea.
My book is published!
Yesterday it ranked as the 28th best-selling audible in the domestic partner abuse category for the second time. I’m marketing it on TikTok and Instagram. One of the ways I’m doing that is by going live with large-account creators in the same niche. We use the book as a foundational topic to discuss some aspects of abuse. The reviews are coming in and are glowing. ☺️
Yes, I’m working as hard as ever, just in a very different way.
Oh, and based on your advice, my website is updated and now addresses the same felt-need as my TikTok/IG accounts (offering support for narcissistic abuse).
I really want to believe that only Americans are this gullible, falling for ridiculous propaganda, because then I could go somewhere else where logic and decency rules. Sadly, I know it is simply a human thing that exists everywhere. The Holocaust was not that long ago and yet people are already forgetting or denying. Desperate people believe desperate lies. Sad.
Dakota Duncan, go to twitter and read Seth Abramson's long essay there. Or just go to Section 10 of the essay and read that! You'll learn all you need to know. And YES, there is a genocide now happening in Ukraine RIGHT NOW. Biden is doing okay, but needs to do MUCH MORE. Send those planes to Ukraine
What does that say about our school system? My teenagers and I talked about this not long ago when I had heard about some teens not knowing about the Holocaust. I was relieved both of my kids knew about it and are outraged by Holocaust deniers. Sad it seems we are repeating lessons of the past.
Good reminder, Linda. I always take your advice seriously. I'm getting ramped up to post to Medium, but also to revive my book projects and self-publish. SO - THANK YOU!!!

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Yup, sure does

Ah that makes more sense. They're cut off. I wish we could use a blimp to dump flyers like they did in the past
I suspect some of them do know, but it is 15 years in jail to disagree with Putin's propaganda.
Putin must be very persuasive to sell this kind of bulls**t. You topped yourself with this article. Thank you.
Right? Sometimes I am stunned at how gullible we humans can be. Thanks for the kind words, Henya! :)
Here’s one I heard this week.

Seriously, Linda, a huge thank you!! ❤️❤️
Oh, you are so welcome!! I am glad your book is doing well. You've worked your buns off.
On that writer... sigh. I don't know where people sometimes get their ideas. Nowhere good. lol

Thanks for the info.
Thanks for sharing this Dana. Going to go look it up.
Very thorough and well thought out. Here's the link: https://sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-ten-hardest-truths-about-the?utm_source=twitter&s=r
It is true. A lot of young kids don't even know what the holocaust was
What does that say about our school system? My teenagers and I talked about this not long ago when I had heard about some teens not knowing about the Holocaust. I was relieved both of my kids knew about it and are outraged by Holocaust deniers. Sad it seems we are repeating lessons of the past.
Right? It just makes me weep for humanity, sometimes.

You're very welcome. Glad to help anywhere I can. :)
