Germany’s intelligence service has designated the far-right AfD, that is supported by Elon Musk, as a “confirmed rightwing extremist” force. This means that authorities can step up their surveillance of this party that is funded by Putin. They should go one step further by banning these fascists!

The fact that Trump didn't want Amazon to show the cost of tariffs underlines that it is NOT about getting people to buy American...

Could it be that the rise of #fascism is a #smokescreen for the unwillingness of richest people to give up some of their wealth to prevent #globalwarming #politics #woke #billionaires #oligarchy #ego #blog united-for-democracy.com/2025/04/29/t...

Serbia Georgia Hungary Romania ...and of course Ukraine 💙💛 🇷🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇹🇯🇹🇩🇺🇦🇪🇺 People are fighting the corrupt Russia-puppet regimes everywhere. Could this be the European Spring?? #SerbiaProtests #HungaryProtests #GeorgiaProtests #RomaniaProtests

Europe must unite on this! @ec.europa.eu When Georgia stands strong against Russia, Europe will stand stronger too The time is *now* #GeorgiaProtests

Friends, fellas, we have a new fund HELPING PROTESTERS in Georgia! The regime confiscated previous ones and went after their founders, but this one is based in the UK and there’s nothing they can do about it. It’s as trustworthy as it can get too. There’s Gofundme or PayPal. Please amplify!

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

This is a major blow to the Trump regime’s deportation blitz — issued by a Trump appointed judge. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-alien-enemies-act-does-not-give

Today, a Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas ruled that Trump unlawfully invoked the 18th century Alien Enemies Act. US District Judge Fernando Rodriguez’s decision means Trump can’t rely on that law to deport alleged members of Venezuela gang Tren de Aragua.

Crow: When wealthy elites like Trump pound their chests and talk about war—they’re not talking about themselves. They’re talking about everybody else. They’re talking about people like me and the people I grew up with, who have do the tough work for them so they can act tough and pound their chests.

LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!!

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Instead of making them pay it, Trump is going to cut environmental, health research, and education funding to cover it. This is what a corrupt oligarchy looks like.

GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM IS A PHONY This smiling millionaire is a Republican in a Dem suit. Newsom rides the line, criticizing Trump one minute, embracing him the next. He’s using #trans women as a stepping stone to Trump and the presidency. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited 👇🏼 newrepublic.com/article/1924...

Hello DOGE, I'd like to report an egregious abuse of waste and spending? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Fascism in action!

TRUMP’S AMERICA Trump is remaking America for himself. He’s renaming, redecorating, reducing, eliminating, banning, deporting and jailing, anyone who opposes him. He wants us to fear him and obey him. #RESIST #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited 👇🏼 www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

“The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate,” Ketanji Brown Jackson said. “The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.” www.rawstory.com/ketanji-brow...

The last boats without crippling tariffs from China are arriving. The countdown to shortages and higher prices has begun. #TrumpTariffs

The Trump Administration’s move to effectively abolish the USAID has already caused human suffering and loss of lives around the world. This may lead to forced displacement of millions more individuals each year due to climatic change. Let's put it bluntly: Trump is a global climate criminal.

USA has a retirement crisis; 4 Million Americans hit retirement age every year, a majority have little to no savings. In 1980, 60% of private sector workers had pension, while today, only 4% of workers get pension. We need to unite to ensure for #PensionForAll www.thenation.com/article/acti...

BREAKING: Mike Waltz OUT as National Security Adviser in Trump Staff Shake-Up. Just yesterday Waltz praised Trump at the pathetic cabinet meeting as greatest leader ever. Today he's unemployed. Plus he gave up his seat in Congress for this. 😀 www.mediaite.com/news/12-most...

In the Chauvet cave in the south of France,archaeologists have discovered one of the most moving traces of prehistory:the footprints of a boy aged around 8 and the paw prints of a large dog next to it.These tracks are over 26,000 years old + tell of a shared journey through the darkness of the cave

Thank you so much, @malena.bsky.social, for including me in your May 1st Starter Pack! I just followed all. You're doing a lot of good work by forming an international alliance. We need people connecting others more than ever, because there is already enough division everywhere. Thank you! 💙

Friends, please help… What is “Follow Farming”? I’ve already been found “guilty”. No hallmarks of due process present— list maker @skywatch.blue targets, then plays Jury/Judge; off to List Prison. We are fighting to save democracy, and I find the process of mod listing ironic. #SheShed

Not only did America elect a spoiled five-year-old as president—he’s unraveling because he’s losing and can’t handle being called out. STARTED. GOING.

Julia Parsons, a U.S. Navy code breaker during World War II who was among the last survivors of a top-secret team of women that unscrambled messages to and from German U-boats, has died at 104.

Can we ask our sane Dem Congresspeople to write a Bill requiring him to wear a tinfoil hat at all times, especially in public?

Hard to believe we’re here: Russian Ministry of Defence TV channel Zvezda says US Secretary of State Marco Rubio or another top official may attend Putin’s propaganda extravaganza, the May 9 Victory Day parade in Moscow.

It appears that russia attempted to assassinate @sternenko.bsky.social, a major fundraiser for Ukraine. Fortunately, the SBU has detained the perpetrator. russia seems to be increasing its assassination and intimidation attempts on volunteers helping Ukraine

It’s starting to feel like this…
