JD Vance: “We have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country. … The professors are the enemy,” Vance is the main enemy of the world-leading US sciences. Similarly, Hitler destroyed Germany's lead in sciences in 1933 & Germany never came back.

Russia ended the ceasefire in Ukraine it negotiated with Trump minutes after agreeing to it. Trump is a failure and clown. Putin has now attacked a hospital in Sumy, and the cities of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Cherkasy regions.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Ruining lives while you pretend to care about the debt then turning around and pushing to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on a literal ego trip

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

''I never thought that writing one line about friendship bracelets would have you guys all making so many amazing bracelets and making friends and bringing joy to eachother. You have created a space of joy and love and I couldn't be more proud of you, honestly.'' - Taylor tonight ❤

WATCH: @kristenwelker.bsky.social again fails to mention Trump’s OPEC deal with Russia & Saudi Arabia spiked oil prices and inflation for 2 full years, as @mcuban.bsky.social has pointed out👇🏽 — instead letting him lay the blame on Biden. Utter failure to communicate this by all parties.

Perhaps this has something to do with why people are so angry? #MedicareForAll #UniversalHealthCare 🇺🇸

Universal health care is a cornerstone of every other developed country, but in the US, coverage is fragmented among those with private insurance, government programs and a sizable uninsured population. In the US large swaths of the population are being sentenced to death by lack of coverage. 🧵

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Hegseth was forced out as CEO of both Concerned Veterans for America and Vets for Freedom for being "frequently drunk, fostering a hostile work environment for female staffers and spending non-profit funds on personal expenses." He is unfit.

Thousands of Georgians protested outside of the country’s parliament for a fifth straight night after the government suspended plans to join the European Union.

The Georgian spirit can't be broken. Salome Gogebashvili injured by pro-russian government forces. She wrote about the pro-russia sycophants trying to destroy the country: "You are worthless, you are slaves of slaves" #GeorgiaProtests

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

90% of #Ukraine aid spending stays in the U.S. Funds stay in the U.S., where companies have invested billions in over 100 new industrial manufacturing facilities, creating thousands of jobs across at least 38 states directly, with vital subcomponents sourced from all 50 states. 🧵

The Christmas tree has arrived on Trafalgar Square! It's a gift to the people of London from the people of Oslo. A tree has been given annually since 1947. Thank you our Norwegian friends 🇳🇴 🎄

You know what these two rich men have in common besides being named to positions by Trump within a day of each other? They are the father-in-laws to his two daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany. Such brazen, mob boss nepotism.

A message to Europe: "We are not only fighting against Ivanishvili - we are fighting against the hybrid war unleashed by Russia. They are investing enormous amounts of money. They’re spreading disinformation. Help us!” - Giorgi Vashadze, an opposition leader. #georgiaprotest

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree. Ate it.

RFK Jr. is a fraud. Always has been.

This is pretty funny.

When tyranny rises, you have to rise higher. #georgiaprotests

Happy Caturday!

Rebels had seized most of Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, as of Saturday, according to a war monitoring group and to fighters who were combing the streets in search of any remaining government forces. nyti.ms/4eTqDQM

My pal @imageplotter.bsky.social has found the best present of all under the Downing Street Christmas tree

That's deep. And sad. And true. 😔

Lovely to see so many of my friends joining this platform. The value of a social platform is the people who use it and the interactions they have. Some people are learning that lesson the hard way.

The Singaporeans are giving out free beer made from recycled toilet water at the COP29 climate summit. “At first their eyes widen,” one of the leaders of Singapore’s youth delegation said. “Then we reassure them. They’re usually coming back the next day for another.”

I see what he did there.
