Palm Sunday. Russia attacks Sumy city centre with ballistic missiles, killing 21, leaving at least 20 injured. All civilians. Putin does not want peace. He wants to destroy Ukraine. Divide the free world. He must be deterred, not appeased. #StandWithUkraine kyivindependent.com/russia-kills...

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

trump's fascism requires willing agents. There are federal agents willing to do his despicable work for him, even when it involves scaring kids, taking parents away from children, exiling children who urgently need medical care. Shameful does not begin to describe this.

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.
