He fancies himself a king, when he’s actually just a pawn.

It was perhaps fitting that Munich was the site of the Trump Administration’s dramatic appeasement of the Kremlin dictator, when the Vice President attacked our western allies, and the Defense Secretary weakened our NATO alliance. 🧵

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

Trump is a gambler, gambling with the lives of Americans. It’s not his “unbending will” that makes this wicked monster seem successful, but simply a lust for destructive power, even if it means the complete annihilation of our constitution & rule of law. Do not obey this fucking Nazi in advance!

In every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People. —Eugene Debs

By stoning would be nice!

GFY buddy. We elect Presidents who WORK FOR US. YOU are NOT A KING.

BREAKING: The US Internal Revenue Service will lay off about 6,700 employees on Thursday, in a restructuring that could strain the tax-collecting agency's resources during the critical tax-filing season, a person familiar with the matter said reut.rs/4gI5Ss4

Two Ukrainian oppositional leaders: Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko (both hate Zelensky and hate each other) have publicly supported Zelensky, said his term prolongation is legit until the end of the war, and said elections are impossible now. Listen to Ukrainian opposition.

Iowa Rep. Zach Nunn is a coward & a liar. He is an odious Nazi Musk apologist. Vote him the fuck out! bsky.app/profile/digg...

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

The Dep't of Health and Human Services laid off employees Saturday evening across some of its biggest agencies, including the FDA and CDC. Those laid off included people who evaluate the safety of medical devices. @rachelcohrs.bsky.social @bloomberg.com Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

JFC indeed.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine. “Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process” Done

Please do!

And if you call for an Uber or Lyft and get a Tesla, cancel it and tell them why.

How do y'all like the new Constitution Trump is drafting so far? @walshfreedom.bsky.social unpacks what's in and what's out! @thebulwark.bsky.social 🎧 pod.fo/e/2ac9a2 📺 y2u.be/u-PFsqE5GZg

“If you were considering buying a Tesla, don’t. If you’re renting a car, choose another brand. And if you own a Tesla, sell it. Yes, that would help: A deluge of used Teslas would lower their resale value, further depressing the new-car sales that the company depends upon.” bsky.app/profile/nate...

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

Holy shit. Trump officials fired the U.S. nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s entire weapons stockpile. Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration as part of broader Energy Department layoffs. But there’s more:

The Trump administration has fired a quarter of the federal employees in a central program office responsible for coordinating the tracking and monitoring of the growing bird flu outbreak.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Captures it perfectly.

The community note 🤌😘

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.
