Kyiv, Ukraine—tonight. We deserve a better life than this. Russia is a terrorist state.

BREAKING: 59, er, sorry, 60 South Africans are being returned to South Africa from America effective immediately. Update: South Africa not accepting these deportees. Our Gov has been contacted for hosting them on our Island. We respectfully suggested they build Alcatraz faster.

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1968: Shortly after midnight, Robert F. Kennedy is shot and fatally wounded at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. He had just won the California primary and was on his way to be the Democratic presidential nominee. /1

Democrats, Republicans and independents alike can agree that shelter animals deserve dignity and care. The BARK Act will feed the growing population of hungry pets. Let's get it done! And thanks, Montgomery County Humane Society, for the assist.

We hope you and your family find the joy and love inherent in #PrideMonth even, and maybe especially, in the times and places where we are still fighting hatred and injustice.

The Honest to God's Truth..

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Memorial platform 🇺🇦 #Ukraine 5-year-old Oleksandryna Kirillova was killed in Mariupol on April 1, 2022. A Russian tank shot her room. The fragment of the shell pierced the girl's carotid artery. #RussiaIsATerroristState

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

We have to become the people of Serbia so we don’t become the people of North Korea.

Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.

Love it!!! 🇺🇦

🚨BREAKING: Over 40 Russian Military planes were reportedly hit in a massive Ukrainian drone strike on four Russian strategic air bases. Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦

Trump: “Ukraine has no cards!” Ukraine <destroys 1/3rd of Russias bomber force> Trump: “”

Forget his excuses. Russia’s autocrat doesn’t worry about NATO. What terrifies him is the prospect of a flourishing Ukrainian democracy.

🇨🇿 Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský: "NATO expansion is in the interest of Russian security. There is no war where Russia borders NATO countries. There is war elsewhere."

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
