She/her. Not here for fascists, nor those just marching with the fascists against that one group. Left like I'm an Anglo-Irish socialist, intersectional as hell like I'm an American Democrat. Because I am.

DOGE engineer Edward Coristine, 19, is the grandson of a notorious KGB spy.

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

French President Emmanuel Macron: "Russia has produced a considerable war effort, with the result that Russia today invests 10% of its gross domestic product in arms production. In France, it's 2%. And we've almost doubled our budget since I've been here.

I have mixed emotions about "DEI." Properly, it's "DEIA." And it feels like ignoring the "Accessibility" part is ableist and forgetting people who need accessibility. But the fascist war is on "DEI." I'm going to try to use "DEIA" to remember people and not let fascists frame the narrative.

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

🇺🇳🇺🇦 The US has submitted a draft UN resolution, taking into account the Russian amendment, to mark the third anniversary of the invasion. The draft differs significantly from the text prepared by Ukraine and Europe. ❗️The Russian ambassador to the UN described the US draft as a “good step.”

Europe? You see how President Krasnov is extorting Ukraine in exchange for honoring treaty obligations? Guess what that means is the best-case scenario for Article V? Plan accordingly.

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

I gave now blocked Mark Cuban. Support for Ukraine is non-negotiable. Not extorting Ukraine is non-negotiable.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

François Heisbourg, one of the world’s leading strategists and a cool head:

Hey, American Democrats? Today is a good day to tell everybody that President Krasnov is doing so much harm to the economy that fixing it will require raising the top tax rate to 90% and introducing a 50% wealth tax on inheritances over $10 million. Yesterday would have been better.

Is it too soon to call the unprovoked and pointless US assault on Canada a new "cold" war?

So much hate. Good luck carrying forward the arts without the LGBTQ community. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Everything wrong with the US can be fixed with one simple tool.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

It's almost like the Germans have experience with this sort of thing and believe it might end poorly for everybody.

🚨🚨🚨 A former Soviet intelligence officer has alleged that Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” uk.news.yahoo.com/former-intel...

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

Half of the US needs a new dust filter for their Hoover MaxExtract PressurePro model 60.

how bad do you have to have fucked up to get dolly parton to speak out publicly against you

Tine for the real decent lawyers in the employ of the US Government to remember Elihu Root.

@4taxfairness.bsky.social identified two dozen House Republicans whose 2024 margin of victory is less than the number of people who will lose their jobs, health care and food assistance under Trump's budget. Is yours one of them?

America, it's time to ask yourself, are you better off than you were 4 weeks ago?

❗️Trump gave Europe three weeks to sign Ukraine's surrender, MEP says. If this does not happen, the US will withdraw troops from Europe, Aaltola said. Trump now and in the future prioritizes Russia's security.

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.
