❗️“Anyone who cannot admit that Russia attacked Ukraine should not be helping to make decisions about our national security,” Senator Tammy Duckworth commented on the response of the candidate for the position

❗️🇬🇧British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in the 🇺🇸US to meet with Trump

❗️Shares of 🇷🇺Russian companies could not withstand the extension of sanctions and began to fall

So he was drunk or lying.

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

Trump is now proposing to sell a $5 million "gold card" that will provide a fast-track to citizenship for the ultra-wealthy. He's doing this as he tries to place restrictions on certain forms legal immigration, including pausing admission to refugees displaced by violence.

As Elon Musk guts entire government agencies and fires thousands of federal workers that deliver vital services to the country, remember that his corporations have received at least $38 billion in government contracts over the past 20 years. Yet will any of this be touched by DOGE? Of course not.

Voter suppression is rarely sold by politicians as such. Instead it comes by way of logistical challenges such as reducing the number of ballot boxes in communities of color in Georgia, intimidation by “poll watchers” in Texas, or restrictive voter I.D. laws.

Senator Tammy Duckworth demolished Pete Hegseth. 🍿

I envy the Romanians. They knew what to do with their Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate.

The entire point of deferring these decisions to the WHCA was to insulate the press from jawboning via restrictions on access.

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

The U.S. has officially recorded its first measles death since 2015. Texas health officials have confirmed that an unvaccinated child has passed away from measles amid a massive outbreak that has impacted nine counties in West Texas. 👉 meidasnews.com/news/the-uni...

Global sea ice continues to set new record daily lows. Yesterday's record low extent was 2,053,000 square kilometers below the 1991-2020 average. I know I've been posting these images a lot lately, but the ongoing collapse of global sea ice is quite obviously the top story on the planet right now.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

The FAA has agreed to use SpaceX’s Starlink internet system to manage US airspace. Yet another contract for Elon Musk to profit from while he's slashing funding for others. The conflict of interest is appalling.

We dare Mike Johnson to give that answer at a town hall in front of his constituents

BREAKING: A mass resignation rebellion has erupted at DOGE. Over 20 employees, including engineers, data scientists, and product managers, have asserted they refuse to use their expert technical skills to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve the American people and uphold…

The Philadelphia Eagles have rejected White House visit, Again. I love that for them!!! Philly fans SHOULD BE PROUD as hell of their team.

“If there is one characteristic of this president and this administration, it is the utter lack of respect for legal constraints.” That’s especially dangerous in the military context. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/o...

The real president always keeps watch over his puppet

🚨BREAKING: Ninth Circuit AFFIRMS lower court decision striking down Arizona voter suppression law H.B. 2492 which imposed unconstitutional and burdensome proof of citizenship requirements. A big victory for our clients and the voters of Arizona. A stinging defeat for the RNC.

People are finding their courage. Let's hope people continue to say hell no to killing democracy.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

👀 Russian air defense is trying to shoot down drones not far from the Crimean bridge, Russians are worried...

I miss DEI

The Revolution will be AI-icized

In case it wasn’t clear before, the U.S. is officially aligned with Russia

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

The leaders of 🇫🇮Finland, 🇩🇰Denmark, 🇮🇸Iceland, 🇳🇴Norway and 🇸🇪Sweden also arrived in Kyiv this morning. 🚂 This is the third train with foreign delegations.

The screens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development were playing this video this morning

Bwahahaha. Mar-a-Lago was listed as "Kremlin Headquarters" for a little while on Google Maps. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

❗️According to Russian media, the EU has disconnected 13 Russian banks from SWIFT in the latest sanctions package and banned 8 Russian media outlets from broadcasting in Europe. New restrictions have also been imposed on supplying Russia with software, equipment, and technology for oil/gas extraction

You know they’d be besties!

Card I received this morning from my cousin. @vbenedict.bsky.social I couldn’t figure out how to attach a photo in a DM. Enjoy!

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.
