#AbortionIsHealthcare #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

On this day two years ago, Finland joined NATO. This more than doubled Russia’s border with NATO, but Putin said it was “no problem.” In fact, he even withdrew most Russian troops from the Finnish border zone. Putin’s problem is Ukrainian independence not NATO enlargement

it’s so cool how we live in a world where startup founders will just go online, post stupid shit, and completely nuke their own credibility

Elite forces test Benelli’s counter-drone shotgun defence-blog.com/elite-forces...

The two most powerful Republican politicians in America - the president and co-president of the United States - are publicly praising and defending and excusing the crimes of a far-right foreign politician who leads a party founded by a Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi. We are in a very, very dark place.

If only the Constitution granted the legislature power to regulate commerce with foreign nations

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law.

How do I get one of these contracts?

As soon as Trump has isolated Britain from the EU he will smell the weakness and bully us into accepting a terrible deal. Starmer needs to stand with our more trustworthy allies like Canada and the EU before it is too late and we have none.

My colleagues speaking bluntly:

Want to drive a Chinese electric car in the US? Well, it's an uphill battle, but it's possible. And here's what I found: where almost no Chinese EVs are legally sold here, there are workarounds that allow them onto American roads—often temporarily or at a price. www.wired.com/story/this-i...

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none. Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

Not only are they proving that what they really care about is not Europe rearming, but they are also providing Europe with more leverage. Time to double down.

Well, maybe the US should stop undermining European security by cozying up to Russia and threatening to invade NATO countries.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

U.S. Army says searchers have now recovered the body of the 4th missing U.S. soldier.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

So sorry to hear that @bletchleypark veteran Betty Webb, OBE, Légion d’Honneur has left us. Betty joined up aged 18, & ‘wanted to do more than make sausage rolls’. She worked with first encrypted Nazi German radio signals, so contributing to breaking the #Enigma cipher… 🧵

Nothing could go wrong....

Let's be clear about what is going on. The Trump administration is not combating antisemitism and university leaders are not protecting free speech. It is authoritarianism and capitulation all the way down. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

seems like this should be a firing offense

Russia is preparing for a long-term confrontation with NATO, – Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys. During a press conference, he said that NATO intelligence has agreed that Russia is a long-term military direct threat to Europe and North Atlantic security in general.

This weekend, the so-called "Tesla Shield" came out to defend Elon Musk and counter the #TeslaTakedown protests. Among those taking part: • MAGA • Proud Boys • Armed Militias • And a guy dressed as Hitler www.wired.com/story/proud-...

It’s a funny date. But my public lecture will sadly not be for laughs. If you’re around Bern, I‘d still love for you to come by as I try to cram 8 years of research on Russia and anti-genderism into 45‘ and we get to discuss together to make sense of madness. www.gendercampus.ch/public/user_...

Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler. More on the "Tesla Takedown" protests here:

US MAGA terrorist confirms he murdered 23 people and wounded dozens of others at the direction of Donald Trump. His lawyer states that he was responding to the “presidents” call to stop an invasion at the border.

If there are 10 people sitting at a table sympathizing with one fascists, there are 11 fascists at the table.

This tells you a couple things: 1) Putin is committed to the fight in Ukraine. 2) Putin is not negotiating in good faith. 3) Putin is convinced he has control of the narrative at home. 4) Ukraine is stacking up dead Russians in a very efficient way. www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/03/31/p...

Universities cannot escape the Doom Loop by cutting. That only makes the spiral tighter and tighter. Just watch. ☹️

As tensions between Canada and the US grow, the Canadian tech community is rethinking its relationship with Silicon Valley in a big way, with some prominent Canadian companies considering major strategy changes—or even relocation out of the US.

The Netherlands will allocate €2.2B to Ukraine in 2025, announced Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans. The aid includes €500M for UAV development/production, strengthening air defenses, artillery/ammo, equipment maintenance, and training/education for Ukrainian troops.

Rep. Joe Wilson and I sent a bipartisan letter urging the Trump Admin to change outdated Syria sanctions to give the people a fighting chance after Assad’s brutal rule and prevent instability in the region. The U.S. must act before it’s too late.

What an amazing coincidence that the chair of Wisconsin College Republicans got one of Elon Musk's $1 million checks in Musk's most-likely-illegal stunt to bribe the voters. MAGA Republicans are con artists trolling for easy marks. Don't be one, Wisconsinites.

"no modern administration has insisted on this standard before, & the idea that foreigners who are here on valid visas should live under fear that their every political opinion might become grounds for sudden incarceration in Louisiana or El Salvador is inhumane and close to un-American in spirit."
