Ukraine did not misuse or lose half of the aid the United States has provided. Ukraine repeatedly invited Putin to negotiate in early 2022. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has denied reports that the United States threatened to shut off Starlink in Ukraine unless Kyiv agreed to a minerals deal. Responding to a report by Reuters, Musk called the claim "false" and accused the news agency of lying.

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

OH NO!!! JK ROWLING IS GONNA BE SHOCKED!!! SHOCKED I TELL YOU!!

Just in case anyone ever needs to know when the first murders in the new Nazi US regime happened, it's now.

This is how it’s done.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

I never heard of Judge Reyes until today but I'm in love with Judge Reyes!

Tiny is so cute & so lucky to have been rescued by Sasha @beneaththewood.bsky.social She's having a #vegan SHOUT OUT to find more #Pigoneers to help care for her & 98 piggy friends because although Sasha has a heart of gold, her bank isn't filled with it. Can you spare a couple of quid to help 💚

@warren.senate.gov: "Elon is gonna do X Money... There's just one bump in the way and that's the CFPB... He doesn't like that... Move the bump out of the way before you start. It's like a bank robber saying, 'Before I go into the lobby with my sacks, I'm just going to fire the cops.'"

No international body is searching for hundreds of Yazidi women and girls still held captive by the Islamic State. Instead, that task has been taken up by a sprawling network of activists, survivors, family members, informants and amateur detectives.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

This is the way.

Tfft. Now do TB before we get antibiotic resistant strains because USAID was running treatment clinics around the world - stopping antibiotics mid treatment that can be as long as 6 months long is a great way to disable the antibiotics we still have that work on TB, as well as killing the patient!

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

I enjoyed going to the theatre today. I sit near the front because further back it feels like TV or cinema. I want to see the fluff on their lapels! Man in front of me smelled of wee, man beside me fidgeted through the entire play, woman to other side's phone rang ten mins in. Still a great play!

Deregulation as the default, Musk said. Hope the few sane people in the administration would prefer not to experience a nuclear winter.

From a federal court decision blocking Trump's anti-trans healthcare order: "The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist."

Why is no one explaining that the narrative about plummeting NHS productivity is a false narrative? There are loads of articles being written about this - have any of the journalists actually examined the long-term trends?🚨 The Tories reduced the ‘input’ during the 2010s, by reducing hospital …

“Didn’t you flog off some flats and didn’t declare it or have I got that wrong?”

From next week our X account will close and be archived. We will be solely on BlueSky where we will continue to promote #history, historical practice and the humanities. Please do join us #Skystorians

Repost if you agree Trump is both DANGEROUS and INCOMPETENT! 💙

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

America, bought and paid for.

This is amazing. Via @nytimes.com

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

Oh, not handing in my art coursework on time. Whole class got a bad grade. We all had handed them in, but the guy had mounted them all on the walls for parent's evening and forgot to mark them. A lot of tippex on the end of year report card for everyone 😁

Sitting down on the floor because I was about to pass out.

Every day, these guys offer a new type of "for me but not for thee." This great piece from @metrauxjulia.bsky.social reminds us how integral public health funding can be to those we love most. (Though I think most of us aren't trying to gut the resources and care our loved ones receive!)

Reposr with your apocalypse skill: Recounting popular film and TV shows until my heart medication runs out, and then recreating the Holy Grail scene with the writing on the wall trailing off for real...

They want you demoralized, beaten, and silent—because they know resistance works. Prove them right to be afraid. Stay loud. Organize. Protect your communities. Build power they can’t take. Hopelessness is their weapon—don’t hand it to them. Make them regret every move.

🐣 Did you know that #chickens have been known to form close bonds with each other, other #animals like #ducks and #rabbits and even humans? #Veganuary is over, but you can help chickens by leaving them off your plate and trying more #PlantBased dishes!

Too true!
