I'm not explaining myself. Judge me on my behaviour. "We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." — Elie Wiesel, Nobel Acceptance Speech, December 10, 1986

US negotiating behind Europe's back on Ukraine and European security has crossed the Rubicon. The world has changed. Europe must embrace this moment. Europe needs to rearm and accelerate its industries. The US is in decline and no longer reliable. Europe MUST take its place. There is nobody else.

Zelensky's speech at the Munich Security Conference ended with prolonged applause!

President Zelenskyy: “At the Munich Security Conference, I emphasized that European policy must not just be promising — it must make America want to stand with a strong Europe. Europe must decide its own future with confidence in its strength so that others have no choice but to respect its power.”

How the f*ck does the executive branch have power to shut down agencies created by Congress @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Sell your Tesla. ❌ Sell your Cybertruck. ❌ Get off Twitter. ❌ Don’t sign up for Starlink. ❌ Bankrupt him. It will take while but it’s possible. ✊🏻 #resist

This is absolutely chilling. He truly is a sociopath.

Wow

Seems he knows the difference, after all.

Elon Musk goes masks off and does a Nazi salute.

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

Unbelievable that some news outlets are tiptoeing around this. The Telegraph called it a "Roman" salute, while the Independent went with "odd-looking salute"... Let's call it what it is. This was a fascist salute, plain and simple.

Looking forward to the right-wing media spending the next 24 hours explaining how an obvious Nazi salute really wasn't a Nazi salute, you stupid libs.

EVERYONE must know Mariam Sitchinava, one of the emerging symbols of the resistance! A defiant activist of Zugdidi town was released yesterday after her detention over fireworks, and today, she again launched fireworks while wearing a protective gas mask, also outlawed. She is now detained AGAIN! 1/

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work. We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

Ha! So this is what Elmo needed a pardon for🧐

Property tycoon Nick Candy has joined Reform as their Treasurer. He is perhaps best known for partying during lockdown, so he should fit right in.

Former Syrian President Bashar Al Assad ruled ruthlessly for over two decades. With the help of Russian and Iranian forces, he also carried out some of the most vicious acts of the country’s 13-year civil war. We have documented many of these, from chemical attacks to the bombing of hospitals 🧵

Hope is for the young. I've seen enough rotten regimes follow another. But I sincerely hope the Syrian people see a brighter future than they have known.

A Syrian woman freed from Assad regime prisons reunites with her children in the city of Homs after a separation of three years.

The rebels have liberated hundreds of women, toddlers and babies held in Sednaya prison. They've also released hundred of prisoners some of which were tortured to the point of forgetting their own identity, others held for decades for speaking out against the regime. #freeSyria

Am I the only who thinks it's slightly insane that BBC news are showing the, frankly, long and boring reopening ceremony of a cathedral over the live falling of Damascus to rebel troops?

I don’t take credit for this meme, but I do co-sign.

You can put lipstick on a pig, you can polish a turd, and you can put an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon in the Oval Office, it won't change who they are. He will forever be a convicted felon. A lame duck with no mandate. Don't just give in to him. DEFY HIS ASS. #TheDefiance
