A former Soviet intelligence officer has claimed Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov" Who would have guessed www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

💥 Apple is upholding its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Despite attack from right-wing anti-DEI shareholder activists -- the same anti-DEI group that targeted Costco. And just like Costco, look for Apple shareholders to tell anti-DEI activists to take a hike on Feb 25.

The reason the USA is so messed up is because everyone thinks bad things will never happen to them.

In case you were wondering!

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

New Pharaoh's tomb just dropped. The tomb of King Thutmose II has been uncovered, Egyptian officials announced on Tuesday, marking the first discovery of a royal resting place since King Tutankhamun’s was unearthed in 1922.

He better get some armed guards so trump can’t Putin him. 😬

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

You just watch: the Trump-Musk administration isn't so much interested in your individual #IRS tax returns as it is in scrutinizing and planning to go after the tax filings of nonprofit groups whose work they dislike and want to harass into oblivion.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

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.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

This is beyond pseudohistory, it’s dangerous. Pure fascism. It is a FACT that Stonewall, riots that changed LGBTQ rights globally, would not have happened without the lead of trans & non-binary people. To erase them, in this way, is despicable, cowardly & to appease Nazism.

Not enough attn to this. Main Justice ordered New York office (SDNY) to drop the charges agst Eric Adams on Monday. Most - me included - thought that meant it was done. Already happened. But as of right now no one has filed a motion to drop the charges. We're going on three days later.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Abraham Lincoln had a male ‘roommate’ who he shared a bed with for years

Let me bust open this Babble app and start brushing up on my Danish. In response to Rump’s continuous threats of a hostile US takeover of Greenland … Dane’s🇩🇰 make a counteroffer: “we’ll by California for a trillion dollars.” The petition to purchase the sunshine state has amassed 200K signatures.

Can the aliens who were supposed to take over the world at the end of X-Files hurry up already?

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

Senate Democrats launched a new portal for federal employees to blow the whistle on illegal or illicit activities being done in the federal government under the purview of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or DOGE.

Google removing Black History month from their calendars WHILE we’re in the midst of Black History Month is vile behavior. They also removed Pride Month.

Great history thread - read it, you will learn a lot.

Another reason to ❤️ Costco. While Target and others cancel diversity to appease Trump, Costco’s investing in the community—building apartments above its stores, starting in LA. This $425M project includes 184 low-income units, with key services, plus a rooftop pool and fitness center.

The best evidence that buying the press pays off.
