US military aid for Ukraine is about to cease. Is Europe ready? | David Shimer

Most people haven’t heard of this test, which is available in the US. It accurately predicts Alzheimer’s (not just if there’s a risk, but when). It is modulated by exercise and likely other lifestyle factors. Here’s (almost) everything we know about it erictopol.substack.com/p/the-breakt...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene disclosed that she had purchased between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock on April 8 and 9, the day before and the day of President Trump’s announcement that he was pausing a sweeping set of global tariffs.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

So now the Trump administration wants affirmative action for MAGAs. You cannot make this stuff up

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Read the full, short thread:

They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism. It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism. This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

"Although the narrative persists that Ukraine must beg for security guarantees to survive, it looks more & more like they're ensuring Europe’s survival, even if we aren’t ensuring theirs. This shift in balance of power is underappreciated & not fully understood." landsbergis.com/so-whos-guar...

Please share this. It's a gift link so no paywall. Her case is not getting the attention it should for all the wrong reasons. Trump is literally using our law enforcement to help Putin persecute Russians who oppose his war right here in the United States www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

"Dems need to stop giving Trump cover. They shouldn’t be saying, as Whitmer did, that they can understand Trump’s motivation. Shawn Fain, UAW's president, has done his members a disservice by endorsing Trump’s auto tariffs... all he's done is throw away credibility" open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

@aoc.bsky.social to Utah residents: "It doesn't have to be like this anymore...We can make a new world, a better world, a better country where we can fight for the dignity of ALL people." This event drew 20,000 people!....Something's happening, guys. Change is in the air.

Not Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Firebombing a Jewish governor‘s house during Passover - Doing a Sieg Hitler salute - Eating dinner with neo-Nazis Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Saying Israelis and Palestinians deserve rights and dignity - Using freedom of speech on campus

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

“The Trump administration is indeed discussing this idea behind the scenes …. In their most serious form, these conversations have revolved around attempting to denaturalize American citizens and deport them to other countries, including El Salvador.”

Why can’t Trump, Vance or Rubio simply say this? Why won’t they?

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Remember that hubbub over "they spent $100 million for condoms in Gaza" that the Trump-Musk White House went to the mat over back in January? Well, turns out it was a complete fabrication. It wasn't $100 million. It wasn't for condoms. And it wasn't in the Gaza Strip. www.wsj.com/world/africa...

Meanwhile in Russia: head of RT Margarita Simonyan described an intent to partition Ukraine, which sounded eerily similar to the plan mentioned by General Keith Kellogg in his controversial interview. She also predicted Trump will run for a third term. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SISO...

This is Kiril Illiashenko. He saved many lives today. 13 year old Kirill was on a bus today with his mom Maryna. After the Russian missile strike, the bus caught fire. The explosion blocked the bus doors. Many people were killed and injured on the spot⤵️

World leaders have responded to russia's brutal attack on Sumy, condemning the aggressive act, expressing their condolences, and calling for increased pressure on the terrorist state. We thank them for their support. #StandWithUkraine

Mark Carney led the Bank of Canada through the 2008 financial crisis. He led the Bank of England through the Brexit crisis. Canadians are facing the biggest crisis of our lifetimes — and Mark Carney is ready to lead.

Arson at the home of the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania on the first night of Passover. Seems like the Trump administration might be looking for anti-Semitism in all the wrong places.

El sĂĄbado por la noche en Coachella la sorpresa no la dio Charli XCX al llevar a Billie Eilish. La dio Bernie Sanders, que subiĂł al escenario para criticar las polĂ­ticas de Trump y animar a los jĂłvenes a ser crĂ­ticos contra el mandatario elpais.com/us/2025-04-13/b...
