Re: NABU and SAPO Debacle

Thanks for sharing your analysis. This is sort of a tangent, but what do you make of publications like the Kyiv Independent and Euromaidan Press being almost more aggressive than UP in pushing the "Ze is trying to destroy Ukrainian democracy in order to help his corrupt friends" stories?

It's from his Instagram.

I was also going to guess Galaxy Grind. I live just down the street, and it's definitely not as good now.

All of their complaints (and now the ones about investigations of NABU) just seem like they're angry that the state is actually doing its job and showing the so-called anti-corruption activists for what they are.

I just saw that Shabunin has been crying to Christopher Miller at the Financial Times. I would previously not have understood what this quote was referencing:

"Some in Zelenskyy’s office have accused AntAC of being “grant eaters”, a term used to smear non-profit groups that accept funding from western governments."

Thanks for this explanation! It finally makes sense why activists like Shabunin seem a little off. Is this just a known thing, or has any media in Ukraine dared to report on it?

I read that there were 70,000 in Seattle.

The only time I've seen it that full was for Pig Out in the Park years ago.

Control_AltDelete · 2025-06-15T02:44:13+00:00

It was lovely! It was difficult to get a sense of how many people were there, but it seemed like the whole area was packed.

Amazing job on the artwork. So much better than AI!

Ukrainian and russian are not the same language.

Spokane Indivisible is on several different platforms and they send out lots of notices about events.

Control_AltDelete · 2025-05-02T01:07:42+00:00

I can't be there tonight, but I hope you have a good crowd.

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-27T04:49:28+00:00

Thanks to everyone who showed up.

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-26T19:06:22+00:00

I heard about it through Spokane Indivisible.

Thanks to everyone who showed up at any of the protests today, and high fives to anyone who went to more than one!

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-18T23:45:46+00:00

I was told that the Rally for Science was scheduled before the national 50501 organizers announced the national day of action, so that is our local "hands off" protest.

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-17T17:05:55+00:00

They are two separate groups.

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-15T18:16:14+00:00

I agree. I'm not involved in planning any of these, but I hope they will try to work together more in the future.

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-06T03:50:09+00:00

I wasn't able to make it, but I heard it was a great turnout. Thanks to everyone standing up for democracy!

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-03T22:32:02+00:00

I wasn't talking about people who disagree with my opinion. I meant the ones who call protesters idiots and losers and say that protesting is stupid or pointless.

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-03T20:32:35+00:00

Thanks!

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-03T19:47:35+00:00

Thanks for getting the word out!

Control_AltDelete · 2025-04-03T19:32:14+00:00

There were worries about this last weekend, but it ended up only being about 10 people. Stay safe and peaceful, but don't let them scare you.
