Ukraine's First Deputy Foreign Minister says Russians tried to intimidate Ukraine in Istanbul

This is the lowest level, these guys are worse than any mafia godfathers from bad movies.
This is yet another example of how brutalized and morally rotten Russian society has become.

#Russian #Baltic Sea provocations ‘increasing threat of accidental military incidents,’ #Latvian intelligence says

The purpose of the #provocations is most likely to #intimidate and test the potential opponent, while attempts to discredit the reactions and defense capabilities of the countries of the region are not excluded

These actions are "increasing the threat of accidental military incidents."

As #CivilRights prosecutors conducted the investigation #EmilBove demanded, they pushed back against steps he wanted taken, arguing they were either not justified by available facts or contrary to #law, or both.
At one point,Bove instructed #FBI agents on the NY joint terrorism task force to put on their raid jackets, go to #Columbia & stand in a phalanx near #protesters. Within the civil rights division, the instruction was viewed as deeply improper & a blatant attempt to #intimidate #students.

“Our job is to evaluate science & evaluate it in an unbiased fashion. That’s what we do & I think we do it well. The questions seem to suggest that there’s some bias in what we do—that’s where the vaguely threatening part comes in,”Dr. Rubin said.

Jeremy Berg, fmr editor of #Science, said he thought the letters were to “#intimidate journals…” to publish papers that align w/the #Trump admin’s beliefs—on #ClimateChange & #vaccines, for example—even if the quality of the #research is poor.

A psychopathic president.

‘Longwell estimated that Trump might be trying to get people to look in a different direction after he backed down on his trade war.
"…like a guy with a laser pointer and the media is a bunch of cats. Is he trying to get people to chase things so they stop talking about the fact that he caved and did a total about-face on the tariffs after telling us for days that he wasn't going to do a pause? And now he's suddenly pausing because the world economy is collapsing. Is he doing this as a distraction?"
She then noted that targeting people like this can scare others away from leaking information to the public.
"And what he's trying to do here, though, is to make people afraid of speaking out against him.

‘Trump is trying to intimidate his staff from speaking out during this administration, she continued

…I mean, this is some of the most insane authoritarian stuff we've seen out of him."

“That’s the big question,” #RuthBenGhiat said, adding that it depends partly on #Trump’s ability to impose party #fealty, #intimidate critics & install competent bureaucrats who are effective at using levers of #power to advance his personal aims.

“It is about criminalizing #dissent,” she said. “There is a method to his madness in that he has taken people on a journey of #indoctrination.”

⬆️ 3 #FalseHopes

Emboldened by corrupt #SCOTUS decision on #PresidentialImmunity & FALSE hopes of #AmericanMonarchy under #Trump, #HeritageFoundation just fired opening salvo of #SecondAmericanRevolution based on another FALSE hope that it would be #bloodless — like the #GloriousRevolution that put William III of Orange on the #British Throne.

Knowing THAT hope is false, it is openly threatening #Democrats with #bloodshed, again FALSELY hoping to #intimidate us with its own #BrunswickManifesto.

#Hoffinger’s final question is an accusation: whether #RobertCostello’s testimony to Congress was meant to #intimidate #MichaelCohen as he testified in this trial. Costello asked her to repeat the question & then denied the accusation. “No,” he said. “Ridiculous.”

#Trump atty #Bove, is on redirect. Costello testifies that Cohen said in April 2018 that he would be “eternally grateful” for the help & guidance that Costello had given him in those difficult days.

“The People argue in their submission that Defendant's attacks, which include referring to a prosecution #witness last week as ‘death’, are based on ‘transparent falsehoods.’ …The People provide a plethora of compelling arguments in support of their claim that Defendant's conduct is deliberate & intended to #intimidate this Court & impede the orderly administration of this trial.”

The charges stemmed from a Jan 2023 *interaction with* [brutal attack on] #MichaelCoreyJenkins & #EddieParker when the group of 6 officers burst into their #RankinCounty #Mississippi home WITHOUT a #warrant & #assaulted them w/ stun guns, forced them to ingest liquids, punched & kicked them, called them #racist slurs, & worse.

#KenPaxton requested #transgender youths’ medical records from QueerMed — which is based in Decatur, GA — late last year, the health provider’s founder Izzy Lowell told WaPo on Sun.

“This request from the #Texas Attorney general is a clear attempt to #intimidate providers of gender-affirming care & parents & families that seek that care outside of Texas & other states w/ bans,” Lowell said in a statement.

#DakotaAccessPipeline Owner Slaps #WaterProtectors with New Subpoenas -- Third-party subpoenas allow #EnergyTransfer to obtain evidence, from individuals or organizations, who are not part of the lawsuit

Energy Transfer attempts to drag #Indigenous and #EnvironmentalJustice advocates into meritless lawsuit with third-party subpoenas

The operator of the Dakota Access Pipeline, Energy Transfer, is attempting to drag Indigenous and environmental justice advocates into this meritless lawsuit to stifle #dissenting voices.

By Greenpeace USA, via Censored News, November 27, 2023

WASHINGTON – "In response to recent third-party subpoenas issued by Energy Transfer, which target Indigenous and environmental justice advocates, Ebony Twilley Martin, Executive Director of #greenpeaceusa said: “The operator of the Dakota Access Pipeline, Energy Transfer, is attempting to drag Indigenous and environmental justice advocates into this meritless lawsuit to stifle dissenting voices.

"'For over six years, #Greenpeace USA has been fighting lawsuits brought by Energy Transfer over the Indigenous- led resistance movement at #StandingRock. This type of legal #bullying, known as #StrategicLawsuitsAgainstPublicParticipation, is part of the #corporate playbook to #silence and #intimidate #DissentingVoices who lack the financial means to fight these lawsuits.

"Energy Transfer is now attempting to expand this playbook by targeting Indigenous and environmental justice activists through the use of third-party subpoenas. Now is the moment for us all to come together to send a message to Energy Transfer, and other corporations considering this tactic, that we will not be silenced and we will not tolerate legal bullying.'

"'These legal actions are an insult to the many Indigenous water protectors who continue to lead the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline and the continual threats and degradation of their historic lands. These attacks are a threat to our First Amendment rights to speak out, a threat to #IndigenousRights, and a threat to the rights of #nature. We will not let this meritless lawsuit silence us and distract our movements from all our work to win a #green, #just, and joyful future for all.'
