Hundreds gathered downtown Saturday, waving Ukrainian flags and carrying signs that read “Ukraine is not for sale” and “Putin the war criminal” to mark three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

"Unfortunately, rather than be shocked by each time Trump or one of his closest allies utter something openly authoritarian, we need to take a step back and realize that the Republican Party has become an authoritarian political party."

I feel like I've been intermittently screaming about this since it happened

"What happened to lead so many claiming the label ‘conservative’ to support driving from office genuine conservatives who opposed the insurrection such as Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger?" www.liberalcurrents.com/the-suicide-...

Totally see Saliba, Gabriel, maybe even Ødegaard and Saka looking at options away this season. Think we're going to sell at least one of them... And not challenge again for a few years.

A point was never going to be enough. Time to put Saka in bubble-wrap, ban him from international play, buy an actual forward, sell #5, buy a midfielder, figure out how to play Saka and Nwaneri at the same time, get a backup keeper, sell about 6 players, figure out the left side, keep the defense

Fact of the matter is, in a Premier League with teams owned by actual countries you have a small window when you can win anything. The Kroenkes lousy history of sports ownership (outside of 1 dodgy NFL championship) does not inspire confidence

*starts thinking about where we stored the KroenkeOut banners*

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Cryptic clue of the year, nominated for preservation in the Library of Congress.

The talent drain will be immense.

Politico’s owner liked Vance cozying up to the Nazi-tainted AfD. Good to know.

The FBI has only ever had Republican directors. Trump illegally forced out the last two FBI directors for not being Republican enough. Today, Senate Republicans let him appoint a new FBI director who posted an AI video of himself chainsawing Democrats’ heads off

I regret* to inform you that @propublica.org has updated our DOGE tracker again with a bunch more names: projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do... *delight

let's keep pushing this technology onto really important things though

Watch this clip, folks 👇 Does Bannon sound like he's joking about Trump becoming dictator for life? Because he isn't.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

It’s almost like having abortion options are an important part of health care 🤔 Physicians can’t be afraid to perform critical procedures to save a woman’s life just because the government doesn’t understand women’s health issues and has tied our hands in some states. #Medsky

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Exactly right

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

A brutal and well-deserved takedown of a shamefully derisible position.

And there it is

Once again @oliverdarcy.bsky.social covers the media like no one else. This time, he takes on the scandal surrounding The Washington Post's decisions regarding selling ads. Part of this tale involves a scurrilous ads it ran in October targeting me. www.status.news/p/washington...

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. *This* is how democracy dies.

We are incredibly disappointed that the AMA @amermedicalassn.bsky.social did not stand up against the RFK nomination. We expect better from you over the months and years to come as RFK and Trump dismantle our public health infrastructure. rollcall.com/2025/02/03/k...

#ICYMI: ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 Musk-affiliated staffers who are helping the world’s richest man dismantle or downsize federal agencies one by one.

This is why we are on BlueSky. Facebook and Twitter are censoring the resistance.

We should have told them.

Americans don't do history. That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.

This tax season, we're here to remind you about TurboTax's 20-year fight to stop Americans from filing their taxes for free. (Published Oct. 2019)

Arsenal must sign a disappointing left 8 every summer, so they can become a highly impactful striker in every February

Does everyone know how bad the AfD is? Have you read their “manifesto”? I have. I’m attaching a snippet about some AfD members from Brittanica.com This is a corrupt party that spoons with Russia & China and loves Nazis. This is who JD “colored beard” Vance met with. It’s time for a bar fight.

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com: "Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Kai Havertz is the latest Arsenal player to suffer a serious hamstring injury. With Saka, Martinelli and Jesus also sidelined, it leaves their attack stretched to its limits. So we ask: does Arteta need to rotate more? Read more 👇 theanalyst.com/eu/2025/02/k...

between this guy and vance feels like we are seeing the first ever political movement with a core value of actively hating your own children

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

It was not unreasonable to expect Kai Havertz to remain fit in the second half of this season, given his injury record. But it was still a huge gamble, and it has already backfired badly on Arsenal. #AFC rolled the dice and now they must pay the price. www.telegraph.co.uk/football/202...

WATCH: The Nicaraguans who keep Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories working are sending home their most prized possessions, bracing for potential mass deportations. “We don’t have much, but what we do have is important.” 📽️: @josesepulveda.bsky.social
