If Russia hasn’t been able to occupy more than 19% of Ukraine since 2014, how can it defeat NATO or seize Europe? It’s impossible. Their plans are failing, their army is weakening. It’s time to stop Moscow in Ukraine. Ukraine’s victory is Europe’s security. The time to act is NOW

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

U.S. stocks took a massive nosedive after reports showed worries about how Donald Trump’s policies will likely affect the economy

“So Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ‘transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.” H/T @palafo.bsky.social, who posted the above on another platform.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Mr Garcia, I have drafted an appropriate response for you. You're welcome.

Do you like how the world sees us?

Someday I hope we find out what Putin has on Trump. Would answer a whole lot of nagging questions.

If you-know-who thinks he’s a king now, I think this pic suits him better than the one he posted. 😏

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

“It’s no longer just Putin’s Russia that threatens the foundations of Western liberal democracy but Trump’s Washington.”

It’s almost like these people were in the MCU Blip during Trump’s *first* term.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Meanwhile, the new head of the FBI apparently has no reservations about expressing himself, considering that it was his party’s president who incited the sacking of the Capitol.

So I wonder what happens next if he ignores this letter? Does he get summoned to a kangaroo court? 😔

Did you catch this? In one of his first official acts, RFK Jr. shows that he’s no longer an environmentalist and that he’ll put Trump’s right-wing agenda ahead of his vow to make Americans healthier.

Listen I know shit sucks but PLEASE find the things that make you happy and keep doing them. It is not frivolous. It is how you survive.

If they want to ban “obscene” books, to be consistent they’ll have to ban the Bible, too. Have any of them ever read that thing? There’s some pretty messed up stuff in there! 😏

In other news: Happy One-Year “Adopt-a-versary” to my cat, Pretty Girl! 💖💖💖

He knows that’s not how this works, right?

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston is temporarily closed after Elon Musk fired members of its staff.

If you seriously believed him last year, you probably also thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall. 😆

Not all heroes wear capes.

Heh

I didn’t have time to make a sign for the demonstration at the Capitol today, so I carried “Old Glory” as a symbol of the country and the democracy we’re trying to save.

I can’t wait to see Elon being chased in the streets with pitchforks and torches! 😎🔥

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

I have had several US colleagues contact me to find out how the job market works over here... the exodus from the US is about to begin. This kind of self-harm can take a generation to heal. Hey, at least #Brexit is no longer the most stupid act of national self-sabotage in the last 10 years!

Demonstrating at the California State Capitol today against Trump and Musk tearing up the federal government. Good crowd!

Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?

Let your voices be heard today!

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…” This was never about efficiency. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLXa9r...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
