1. The Republicans and the very obscenely rich have wanted to “privatize” Social Security and Medicare pretty much since the start of both safety-net programs. They have tried a few times, most memorably after the 2004 presidential election, and every time they did, they got zapped.

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

A typical price list from the bar of a pub in 1970. Compared to a contemporary version. According to the BofE inflation calculator, adjusted for inflation, a pint of lager should now cost around £1.35. Is it any wonder that pubs are closing at an alarming rate? No one can afford to buy a round.

Any ceasefire or peace deal in Ukraine is unlikely to bring a lasting peace in Europe. Russia will likely regard it merely as a new phase in the war.

For those who still believe Russian propaganda: #Zelensky had already offered Putin negotiations On February 25, 2022—just one day after #Russia launched its full-scale invasion—Zelensky publicly called on Putin to negotiate, hoping to stop the bloodshed. The response? Silence.

Another booth with a yellow and black striped backdrop resembling a prison cell’s bars was called a “Deportation Center.” Attendees photographed themselves at this booth, posing beside full-size cutouts of Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan.

At some point global leaders are going to have to start acknowledging that Trump's America can't be worked with. His Presidency has made neo-Nazis so emboldened that even Bardella is put off. That should be a sign to stop pretending it is business as usual. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
