Surprise! The Russians, who have repeatedly said they don't want a ceasefire, have once again said they don't want a ceasefire

#USDA HIRED BACK all employees fired by DOGE last week (about 6,000 of them) WITH BACK PAY. All #DOGE did was cause #chaos, and paid 6,000 workers full wages to do nothing (except develop an ulcer) for a week. #goodNews #agentKrasnov […]

Substantial layoff at Google this morning, locations around the world. IT and helpdesk hit hard. To be fair, they’re hard-pressed, last quarter’s earnings a mere $26.54B, that’s a narrow 27.51% profit margin. #google

If France would do with the US what the US is doing with Ukraine. #USpol #FRpol #UApol #meme

The Heritage Foundation is now planning to destroy the EU - with the help of Polish and Hungarian partners vsquare.org/heritage-fou...

As requested, I'm passing it on. #boycottUS #buyeuropean #buycanadian

Just a friendly reminder that Hamas, a full fledged militant terrorist organization and enemy of peace, does not represent the Palestinians as a whole or benefit their interests any more than MAGA represents Americans as a whole or benefits their interests.

I just want to point out once again that Hitler’s generals tried to kill him at least twice. He wound up doing himself and his girlfriend out of shame and terror. And Mussolini wound up hanging like the maiale he was. If we get through this, we’re going to have to do some really hard […]

US protestors waved the largest Ukrainian flag in the world in D.C. #3E #USprotests #EndImpunity

Global superpowers should be term limited. .

Dear 🌎, 🇺🇸 climbed to the top at record pace and defeated some of the most vile regimes in history, primarily because of the happy accidents of an embarrassing over-abundance of natural resources and safe geographic location. But instead of becoming a continual force for global good, which […]

Dear Luigi…

Second SpaceX launch in a row blew up tonight, here’s a video from inside a commercial airline. If you’re wondering why they are allowed to fly in this area, the FAA had grounded flights but the leadership involved got DOGE’d.

Efficient! Genius!!! https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/06/science/starship-launch-test-flight-8

I wonder (no longer) which Baltic nation will be handed over to Putin first: Via Euronews: Lithuanian publisher pulls JD Vance's memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy' from sale https://www.euronews.com/culture/2025/03/06/lithuanian-publisher-pulls-jd-vances-memoir-hillbilly-elegy-from-sale

The House Democrats who voted to censure Rep. Al Green should be fucking ashamed of themselves. We are not asking for you to protect "norms" and upload the sanctity of your now god-forsaken institution. We're asking you to *spit in the eye* of the fascist goons who are presently dismantling […]

If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.

Hey 🇺🇸, we just got taxed an additional 25% today. Is that enough to get you off the couch yet? No??? Ok then. Enjoy the continuous colonoscopy.

Another way for the world to immediately bring America to its knees immediately is to only reference metric units of measurement and temperatures without any conversion to English units across all media, product packaging, and personal, governmental and business communications. We’ll have no […]

The economic blackout on Feb. 28 doesn't appear to have had much impact — on Amazon, at least, where transactions were 1% higher than a typical Friday, though the buying pattern through the day was different from normal. Here's @forbes's story, plus details on planned boycotts. Find the full […]

Want to join me for this MoveOn event? Dem Senators will have a prebuttal and live commentary during Krasnov’s State of the Union (or whatever he’s calling it.) https://mobilize.us/s/zdetX6/o #SOTU #StopTheCoup

So I didn't know, but Europe already has a backup of PubMed, the database of biomedical research publications. The US PubMed broke down over the weekend. And here is our alternative: https://europepmc.org/ #pubmed #pmc

Which country has a Constitution most resembling that of the United States? Well, it’s Liberia, who intentionally modeled theirs based on it along with naming their capital after President Monroe. But the second closest is…RUSSIA, with provisions for freedom of speech and similar rights as […]

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Gotta love Janet! ❤️ She is a badass, isn’t she?! 🤚 Pass. It. On. ✨

Since they are definitely going to try to kill Social Security, it is worth mentioning that it is one of the most successful poverty reduction programs of all time.

For 80 years the United States was a superpower with friends around the world. That is now in many ways over. Unfathomable recklessness. We must grieve. #USpol #coup

Wait, the president who got impeached for extorting Ukraine and Zelenskyy tried to…*checks notes*…extort Ukraine and Zelenskyy again? But, but, but: why would he do that when we did absolutely nothing about it last time excerpt vaguely inconvenience him? 🤦‍♂️ #USpol #UApol #Ukraine […]

[US Politics] Went to a protest at SpaceX today. It felt good to join others in taking action.

KANSAS: Now's the time to flood the streets and legislators offices! It looks like Republicans have launched a sneaky plan to ban abortion in Kansas. https://www.alternet.org/abortion-kansas/ #AbortionBan #Kansas #WomensRights #HumanRights #ArrestTrump #ArrestMusk #DonaldKrasnov […]

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.

I wrote to the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on twitter (this link is a nitter instance: allows one to interact with twitter without twitter getting the traffic): https://xcancel.com/DavidAugust/status/1895701402556776618 h/t @MissConstrue for the inspiration. #USpol #UApol #Ukraine […]

Yikes, @w7voa is "under investigation" for his comments about current POTUS. (probably the most visible poster here on the Fediverse). https://journa.host/@samlitzinger/114084562793367210

I think that Democrats should boycott the State of the Union, which is pointless. Instead, of having a Democrat provide the rebuttal, they should bring in recently fired federal workers to describe the important work they used to do.
