A protest on the bus. Everywhere, always, until the GD regime collapses! Day 181 of daily protests in Georgia. 🇬🇪

I think my biggest problem with “we have Biden to thank for Trump 2.0” is it puts the bad decision onus on one man and absolves millions of bad decisions from voters who had ample evidence to know better. And absolves a press that obviously didn’t convey the stakes very effectively.

Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours, has threatened Russia with additional sanctions 4 times in 4 months, has done nothing, Russia continues to bomb civilians indiscriminately, Trump refuses to condemn Putin for any of it, and only has harsh words for Zelensky and Biden.

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

Bucharest is excited for their mayor, Nicușor Dan, to have been elected the new president of Romania! The world is rejecting Trumpism.

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

#ResistanceRoots Blake Brockington was born on this day in 1996 in Charleston, S.C. He was the first openly transgender high school homecoming king in North Carolina, and his suicide at age 18 drew attention to the bullying, discrimination, harassment and violence transgender youth face. /1

Day 165 Tbilisi Georgia

This part

And this is why due process, and requiring the government to justify to a judge *why* they grabbed you off the street and stuck you in jail, matters

What a surprise that the “full and comprehensive” free trade agreement Trump is announcing with much fanfare this morning is not exactly full and comprehensive.

Turkey rejects fascism

Russian communities are facing a surge in crimes from both returning veterans and criminals using the war to get out of jail. But in Vladimir Putin’s new Russia, soldiers are the new heroes, and tough wartime censorship laws leave little room to criticize them.

The country thats still defending is winning, the country that is breaking out tanks from WW2 in storage and attacking on donkeys and lost 900,000 men and got kicked out of Kyiv and begs NK for troops and Iran for weapons, isn’t. youtu.be/lvVI64jVXuI

They are losing, and desperate.

🇺🇸 Kellogg: Russia will not win the war. In the last 1.5 years, Russia hasn’t achieved serious victories—no capture of Kyiv, no progress west of the Dnipro, and no capture of Odesa. They’ve lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers with minimal progress.

Every once in a while I think man, we were so close to never having to think about that motherfucker again, and then people said nah, let’s just ruin our lives instead

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

good job canada. you managed to do something america could not, make an obvious choice

🤬 This is what "Russian World" looks like…

Since some in govt and the GOP seem to have forgotten how a war works, here’s a reminder. For a defending nation to win, they just have to….. wait for it…. Keep on defending. Ukraine is winner and Russia is destroying its youth Basic math

Russians are using for the meat waves golf carts, E-scooters and busses. The lack of armored vehicles of the Russian army lays bare to all of us. The level of destruction of Russian human material will escalate more and more.

He’s a loser. He always loses. He will continue to lose. And so long as he is president, So will we.

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan. "Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

‼️Less than half an hour ago, Major General Yaroslav Moskalik, Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of Russian Armed Forces, was eliminated by a planted IED in Balashikha, Moscow region. The IED was placed in a vehicle and detonated as Russian general was passing by.

Thinking you'll achieve peace by rewarding invasions is like thinking you'll cure alcoholism with vodka.

Ukraine is beating Russia—sinking their fleet without a navy, killing 800,000+ invaders, and holding the line for 3 years. Donald Trump wants to save Putin. He won’t say Russia is the aggressor. Let’s be clear: there’d be a cease-fire if Russia…stopped. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/ukraine-is...
