Elon Musk didn’t spend $44 billion to buy Twitter, it was Elon Musk and his wealthy co-investors all of which are deeply tied to Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and organized crime.

🚨 🚨 As you find yourself appalled, day after day, by what is happening, never let the far right convince you that you are somehow in the minority. Most Americans agree with you. They do not like what they’re seeing either. 1/

russians are actually dying for nothing. Ukrainians are dying to defend themselves from genocide

It disgusts me when individuals like Elon Musk claim that their desire to end the war is motivated by concern for Ukrainian lives. He couldn't care less about them

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Not to alarm anyone but the stooge currently serving as acting head of the Social Security Administration, you know, the one w/access to all your personal info, was, as recently as two weeks ago on paid leave b/c career folks thought he was violating multiple privacy and tax laws

Amen to that.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Kennedy Center reeling from 'stunning' ticket sales collapse after Trump takeover: report: A decision by Donald Trump to fire everyone and wrest control of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on the banks of the Potomac has led to an alarming downward spiral in ticket sales and…

Stephanie Kelton - "We can, and must, tax the rich. But not because we can't afford to do anything without them. We should tax billionaires to rebalance the distributions of wealth and income and to protect the health of our democracy" France to introduce a 2% wealth tax on those worth over €100m.

Interesting how papers in other countries aren't afraid to call this what it is. elpais.com/mexico/2025-...

Let us not despair but act. @bctallis.bsky.social 🧵 Please Germany 🇩🇪 vote accordingly

This. If my fellow Americans refuse to learn from German history, maybe Germany can learn from America's present.

GOPers say “Enough” To Trump’s Ukraine-Bashing As Crisis Escalates: We are in a situation now of global, geopolitical repositioning. This is no small matter. And who do we have in charge of the delicate negotiations necessary to ensure the least damage and greatest good for all? A small time hood,…

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Spot the European arms manufacturer and the American one

While attention understandably is on US-Europe relations, we should not lose sight of the fact that Russia may try to utilize this situation to disunite Europe on Ukraine and other issues. We need to be awake and sensitive to signs of this.

'Truly stunning': GOP-led lawsuit that could dismantle disability protections draws outrage: A push by Republican attorneys general in 17 states to strike down part of a federal law that protects disabled people from discrimination has prompted an outcry from advocates, parents and some local…

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a former Ukrainian politician and president, Viktor Yanukovych. He’s best known for selling his country to Russia, trying to turn it into an authoritarian state, and eventually fleeing to Moscow once his plan failed. 1/22

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Ja jos jälleen haetaan asiasta jotain positiivista, mikään parodia ei tunnu enää yliampuvalta.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

French President Emmanuel Macron: "Russia has produced a considerable war effort, with the result that Russia today invests 10% of its gross domestic product in arms production. In France, it's 2%. And we've almost doubled our budget since I've been here.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

One aspect of doing a political purge of the military and civil service is you can't come back in afterwards and just revert to status quo ante policies. A counter-purge becomes a necessity before you can then restore usual norms and protections. The people he's installing can't be left in place.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

Per @juliadavisnews.bsky.social: “The Trump administration wants revenues from Ukraine’s natural resources, according to a draft obtained by The New York Times, with no security guarantee in exchange. Some of the terms appear even worse than in a previous draft.”

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

I think having a Black president started this path, but the idea of a woman president following a Black one supercharged it. Their view was that it was an existential threat to perpetual white dominance in America.

BREAKING: Donald Trump purged the Military to install loyalists, his Administration suffered a significant loss at the Supreme Court, and Republicans are being held accountable by their constituents. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors! Let that sink in for a minute…

NEWS: Right now, Republicans appearing at town halls around the country are being heckled and confronted by constituents. It is likely only just the beginning. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

The GOP go-to is "blame immigrants" -- and it's not working this time

MUST LISTEN: A Republican veteran just checked Congresswoman Stephanie Bice for letting COLLEGE KIDS access sensitive government systems—including the ability to cut off veteran benefits. She had NO ANSWERS. Just straight-up LIES.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!
