“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

“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.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

If you’re wondering if you’re in a constitutional crisis and that the republic could collapse at any moment, you are.

It’s not illegal to like this, share it and even copy the picture and make your own post. These are four of the six people that have been gutting the treasury department. They are between 19 and 24 years old.

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

Like with every single negotiation he does, Donold is going to lose and then declare victory and then his fans will all call him a genius even though he’s a lying moron.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The Air Force will no longer teach its recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen, Black pioneer pilots honored for their service during World War II. Also halted, teaching the history of Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, the female World War II pilots who were essential in ferrying warplanes…

Thank you for speaking truth to power through love, Rev Mariann Edgar Budde. The kind, just people of this world see you and appreciate you.

Hi, I’m God. I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

Good morning, as I sit here waiting to see if my lovely spouse's car passes emissions. It is 9 degrees F, and sunny, unlike my grumpy old self.

Tell him, Mark!

THe world is little more dim.

One of the best things about retirement is that i can take my fiber anytime of day. Okay, it's because I'm old and don't remember when I last took it. Could be none, could be 47 times. Only my bowels know for sure.

Imagine if we get a bird flu pandemic and RFK Jr. is the heath secretary 🤦🏽‍♂️😡

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

Does this hat make me look employed? I am not a spokesperson, I just can't quit you.

Chocolate peanut butter.

Happy birthday to my lovely spouse, the love of my life. Have a wonderful day 😊 love ❤️

I see how this is a problem. Do you see how this is a problem?

Good morning 🌄

Banana bread. Some with nuts. Have a good morning.

Norms are good. Pressure works. We need to protect norms. This feels like a small victory but every victory is in fact a victory. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/u...

Hi, I’m God. Thou shalt not steal. That includes taking from the poor and giving it to the rich.

If Trump suspends the Constitution because of a "National Emergency," people should remember that the 2nd Amendment is also suspended.

Leak the report. Pass it on.

Girl Scout candies. Like Girl Scout cookies, but candies.

You’ll never guess who says he is considering taking away Medicaid and food stamps from up to 70 million Americans… Did y’all wanna talk about the price of eggs still or nah?
