Veterans are literally DEI. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

We all know what they say about people who make assumptions.

Here's a story that illustrates why primary sources are important & how Black history is whitewashed. It involves a mass slave escape, Government-sponsored slut-shaming, my nomination for the Blackest name in history & the guy who discovered two words that might end racism. A thread.

Norway is considering using its €1.7 trillion sovereign fund to boost support for Ukraine www.euractiv.com/section/poli...

The UK is going to supply Ukraine with 5,000 air defense missiles.This has been announced by the UK Ministry of Defence.

An underreported piece of the DOGE rampage is many very big companies have very big government contracts (including in IT stuff that DOGE is aiming to completely take over) and will they take this lying down? (Same for Verizon/StarLink?) Also ending these contracts could collapse parts of DC economy

Sure seems like the accusations of indoctrination were also projection!

“The best thing about heroes is that they always win at the end. And if they aren’t winning, then it’s not the end.” —Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Kyiv

After watching the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting in whole, I’m feeling prepared to comment on it in a proper way. Long thread incoming:

Former Vice President Henry Wallace warned in the 1940s that totalitarianism, authoritarianism and fascism were not merely foreign threats.

You’ll notice that when Musk delivered his bogus “when we make mistakes we correct them quickly” statement in the cabinet meeting he chose to mention suspension of Ebola funding and not the firing of workers who maintain U.S. nuclear weaponry.

Every Democrat in Congress should boycott Trump’s State of the Union address — or even better, walk out as he begins speaking. #SOTU

youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

👇🎯 Today in “neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party”

also He's taking a fucking ski vacation? Right now?

Upstanding Americans feel the shame of the degenerate spectacle yesterday in the Oval Office but can console themselves that the values and institutions we took the lead in building, now upheld by the free states of Europe, can uphold our values until America can beak free of its current captivity.

We are the ones who are coming to save us.

The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.
Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks 
The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available." www.bklynlibrary.org/media/press/...

"One former CMS employee who was cut worked on identifying fraud within Medicare prescription drug payments — a particularly ironic firing considering Trump and Musk have said they want to root out fraud, waste, and abuse within Medicare and Medicaid."

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

A bunch of bigots co-opting your “anti-woke” language should be enough to rethink your rejection of “identity politics” as too co-opted to be of use.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

We stand in solidarity with @womensmarch.bsky.social and all those taking action on March 8th for International Women’s Day. Join our Movement of Movements calling for change. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #InternationalWomensDay #WomensMarch #WeThePeople @polrev.bsky.social

It's very reasonable for normal, upstanding Americans to make clear that they won't stand for unAmerican trash like JD Vance. Everyone has their limits.

A reckless lie that puts my family in danger. If they think this is true, do an investigation, but they know it’s not so they just spread it on social media to intimidate. Fuck them. Bring it and don’t bring it weak, bitches.

Now would be the time to pile on wrongful firing suits.

Every abuser, ever.

I stand with Ukraine. Zelensky was the only leader in that room. I made this quilt three years ago, when the invasion started. I’m ashamed to be an American now. #slavaukraini #fucktrump #resist

USAID cancels large contracts of Georgia peanut butter supplier www.ajc.com/news/georgia...

A maximum display of ignorance and malice from Vance today.

Oh my, my. When Trump doesn’t get what he wants a tantrum ensues. This time his tantrum was shown in front of the world press. Big mistake. Optical mistake. Tactical mistake. Europe will take it from here, and we will defeat Putin. Slava Ukraini!

Agree.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

That was the most shameful performance by any American president in a century. I want to fucking throw up.

Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 #UNITED24

‼️ Zelensky has just finished speaking with Macron and is now speaking with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, — Financial Times

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊
