Kharkiv tonight

If I ever find the lamp:

Could you imagine if the head of the United States healthcare system didn’t believe that HIV caused AIDS? …And that instead they believed that AIDS is caused by recreational drugs (“poppers”) used by gay people? Oh wait…🥴

He dodged the draft. He disrespected POWs. Now he wants to rewrite the meaning of Veterans Day? Tell this man to sit down and shut the fuck up. #TuckFrump

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

A headline in Russian media: "Russia is ready to help Taliban in their fight against terrorism." Terrorists will help terrorists to "fight terrorism".

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

The Trump administration has agreed to pay the family of Ashli Babbitt. American taxpayers will now be forced to give likely millions of dollars to the family of a January 6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol.

JUST IN: Judge Beryl Howell SLAMS Trump’s Executive Order (EO) targeting law firm, Perkins Coie. She is blocking executive branch agencies from enforcing this unconstitutional EO. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

Okay, but why may 8th when you kept fighting after? 🤔

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

🇱🇻🇺🇦 AFU use drone-bombers BEAK, developed by Latvian Origin Robotics, - Forbes. Drone is capable of hitting enemy targets at a depth of up to 15 km and is resistant to radio-electronic interference. The maximum take-off weight of the device is 11 kg.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Very sad news… Jill Sobule, the singer of “Supermodel” and “I Kissed A Girl” has died in a house fire. She was 66.

Thank you, @GerryConnolly, for your years of leadership on the Oversight Committee and in Congress. You’ve been a fierce defender of truth and accountability, and it’s been an honor to not only serve alongside you, but to learn from you.

Same stupidity as Americans, run to the supermarket, and strip the shelves 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Doesn’t “I assume they preordered” equate to agreeing that tariffs are a bad idea?

As the federal govt considers “investigating” ActBlue, I can report that i sat through meeting where they literally patterned their version of it, called WinRed as identical. They even follow me (screenshot for when they unfollow in a panic soon:

complete batshit insanity

There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

⚡️Russian Telegram channels report a drone attack on Kremniy El microelectronics plant in Bryansk region of Russia. This is the fifth attack on Kremniy El since the start of the full-scale war.

💀 Russia has lost almost 950,000 soldiers since February 2022

❗️🤬 Cherkasy under attack by UAVs. There were up to 10 Shaheds around the city. Explosions are heard, air defense is active.

🇭🇺⚠️ Orbán’s government is being accused of handing more than €1bn in unlawful subsidies to pro-government media, adding to concerns that state support is being used to bolster the Hungarian leader’s grip on power, - FT

her constituents are gonna completely break her sooner than later

Breaking: Rep. Gerry Connolly announces that he is not running for re-election and will step down as ranking member of the Oversight Committee.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

By request: the Barbenheimer houses.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not. Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

Russia has moved on from full denial of Korth Korean soldiers being at the frontline to them being in the spotlight, and Moscow promising to reciprocate: ◾️A video of North Korean soldiers training within the Russian armed forces appeared on Russian media.

My suggestion for White House lawn signs.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

What do y'all think of the Capitol steps sit in that @booker.senate.gov is hosting today?

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

The chickadee outside my window this morning: “ITS SPRING!” ok, I agree, that’s great, but it will also be spring two hours from now when it’s not FIVE THIRTY AM.

Project 2025 thinks we’ll break. They drown us in cruelty and chaos to crush our hope. But we rise furious. We rise hurting. We rise anyway. We fight because we love. We fight because we must. We are the storm they fear. #MomSky
