81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

🔥According to Russian sources, the following could have been hit in Bryansk: ▪️Iskander launchers, which Russia planned to attack Ukraine with; ▪️a warehouse with stockpiles of Iskander missiles; ▪️a plane that brought new Iskander missiles; ▪️aircraft based at the airport.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"

Portugal foi a melhor equipa. Parabéns jogadores, vamos à final 🇵🇹 🔥

This is what #Reform will do to the NHS

‘Take away natural beauty, free access to books and support for the arts, and you end up with a less enlightened, more ignorant and less engaged public. That’s a public much more easily manipulated.’ Via @sulliview.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My navy loses a fleet of ships to a country without a navy. My air force loses 40+ bombers in a morning to a country without an air force My army controls less of Ukraine now than it did 3 years ago. But we're winning.

Just seen the latest Trump crazy about Robot Biden and fucking hell, how has humanity fallen so far that this level of unhinged stupid can be in any position of power, and so many other countries be rushing to copy it.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Wow. Tesla sales in Europe halved. I’ve never seen such a self inflicted wound to a brand.

I’ve been thinking a lot about RFK Jr’s proposal to ban government scientists from publishing in major medical journals. It’s not just anti-science, it’s a direct attack on what I call the VDA ideals of democracy: Verification, Deliberation, and Accountabilit

Important and timely: this piece isn't just about Portugal, it's about how media commercialization globally enables far-right normalization. Like housing and the environment, market interests seem to erode liberal democracy. #Portugal #FarRight #Media

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Farage: "Lucy Connolly should not be in prison... Understand, there were millions of mothers at that moment in time after Southport feeling exactly the same way. Connolly was imprisoned because she posted: “Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards… if that makes me racist so be it.”

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

“It’s not a political party: it’s a hospice for wealthy insider traders.”

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

Hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥 Hakeem Jeffries: “I don’t work for you, sir. I work for the American people.”

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Am first leader in history to stop a made up genocide against his own people by committing an actual genocide against his own people while committing another genocide against a different people. I remain a master strategist.

Acc to Uplift ... Shell paid no tax in the UK last year, instead receiving a payout from HM Treasury of £12.5m By contrast, report shows that Shell paid over £2.5bn in taxes and fees to the Norwegian government in 2024 p8 www.shell.com/sustainabili...

Good morning !

🇷🇴 Bucharest: Supporters of Nicușor Dan are gathering and celebrating in the city center as he looks set to win Romania’s presidential election. Vote counting is still underway, but the momentum is clearly on his side.

This is my new favorite image because it perfectly encapsulates the concern trolling and crybullying from the right when you give them even a fraction of what they spew out on a consistent basis.

Trump reaches a “deal” to pause the tariffs he imposed on China. I guess all those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming here now, the tariffs won’t replace income taxes, and all the other amazing things they were supposed to do for us are over. So much for Liberation Day.
