I will never trust a country that thought it was a good idea to elect this ridiculous, malevolent man as its leader.

😢 Zelensky: Sumy. The world must respond firmly. The US, Europe, everyone in the world who wants this war and these killings to end. Russia wants exactly this kind of terror and is dragging this war out. Without pressure on Russia, peace is impossible.

This is an absolute nightmare. In Sumy, following a strike by terrorists from the Russian Federation, there are already 83 injured and dozens of civilians killed. The Kremlin butcher openly mocks the notion of “negotiations” and continues his genocide of the Ukrainian people.

Interesting—so everything before that was still within the bounds of decency?

This is the thing. I never capped up black, never used the word Latinx and never displayed my pronouns. Apart from the odd angry tweet, there were precisely zero negative implications for these decisions. No-one was ever forced to do a damn thing.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

From last month.

Art of the Deal!

🤬 In Kharkiv, the Russians attacked a kindergarten with a drone, — Terekhov Whitkoff went to Putin and the terror began...

Never call this Deportation......

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

🕯️✈️ Air Force: On April 12, 2025, 21-year-old Pavlo Ivanov was killed while performing a combat mission on F-16 fighter jet. 💔 We express our deepest condolences to Pavlo's family. He died in battle, defending his land from the occupiers.

The variables in my overly simplistic formula for who is going to "win" a trade war are: a) Economic strength b) Skill in wielding that strength strategically c) Your public's commitment to the cause and pain tolerance You can draw your own conclusions.

This part

MTG is the dumbest person on the planet.. except when it comes to the stock market? 🤔

Corn now exempt from corn law tariff.

🕯️✈️ Last photo of F-16 pilot Pavlo Ivanov, who died today during an air battle…

Who saw that coming..

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

Trump surrenders again.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation. When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for. Unacceptable.

Worst Yelp review ever. 🤡 #UMich (via Michael McDonough)

owning a small business in 2025…

And wait until we see, on the other side of the ledger, higher borrowing costs (from decreased demand for Treasury securities) and decreased revenues (from laxer tax enforcement if not also tax cuts).

Expectation: - Trans women 1st, 2nd and 3rd on every podium at elite level - Whole teams of trans women - Cis women injured in extreme ways Reality: - One trans woman in coed sport at a local level came 7th out of 15 - The under 14s goalie looks a bit butch - Minor injuries common in all sport

Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

And they wonder why we don't buy food from them.

🛳️🇪🇪 Estonia has detained the oil tanker Kiwala under the flag of Djibouti, part of Russia's "shadow fleet", transporting oil from Ust-Luga, - head of the Estonian Navy.

For Russia, human life means nothing. For political and business leaders who treat Russia as a normal country, human dignity means nothing.

I’m going to coin a law - call it Maugham’s First Law - and it is that nothing Wes Streeting ever says turns out to be true. 🧵

When do you think the White House will announce that they've had a beautiful call with Xi and the China tariffs are going to be lowered or paused?

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

The truth has become basic. Trump is a fool who is fucking everything up. There's no more to it than that. But there's only so many times you can write that column. So people are forced to construct 'well actually he has a point' arguments and 'hidden strategy' think pieces.

11 April 1939 | A Hungarian Jewish boy, Janos Willheim, was born in Salgotarjan. In 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Hope this helps.
