Here we go!

Ukrainian troops have captured two Chinese nationals who were fighting in the ranks of the Russian military against Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 8. Ukrainian troops clashed with six Chinese soldiers in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. kyivindependent.com/ukraine-capt... #UkrainianView

Ours laws don't allow children to be beaten or murdered just because someone has some freaky religious beliefs and thinks the kid is possessed or something. But if they're antivax that's somehow okay, even though the outcome is the same?

my offer to america: we bring woke back

White House: we want reciprocal tariffs Vietnam: fine, let’s do zero percent White House: fuck you Absolute clown car administration

Y'all, if you haven't looked into #CurtisYarvin you need to. This is about tech bros, oligarchs and billionaires dividing up the global spoils and ruling over the "peasants." This is about a return to a feudal society. That is not rhetoric. They're serious.

At some point people are going to finally believe that these seemingly random comments are his actual plans and he has people that work for him happy to make it happen. Everything he's thrown out has been executed.

Couldn't believe this was actually true. Checked into it. It's actually true. www.snopes.com/fact-check/k...

Please enjoy my OOO reply

Where is our humanity?

I can only imagine the bailout package they are drawing up for themselves. As the saying goes, privatize the profits, and socialize the losses.

And it's still not enough. They want Canadian, Panamanian and Greenland's resources as well. Billionaires always so thirsty. It's never enough.

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement. Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy. 
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable. #50501movement #HandsOff #April5

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

It's just crazy that an entire political party has convinced so many Americans they're fighting a culture war while the politicians, on behalf of billionaires, are actually fighting a class war - and winning.

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

Two heroic stray dogs rescued an injured dog from the middle of the road by dragging him to safety. The dog had been hit by a car and was stranded. Many cars passed by, but it was two stray dogs who pulled him off the road. The injured dog survived, and the stray dogs were rescued. 15/10 for both

If this ain't a goddamn perfect eulogy, I don't know what is.

We were undermined from within by our refusal to see that we're in a class war, not a culture war. Those who hate are happy to go without, as long as it means those they hate are going without. Meanwhile we're all going without. Maybe the lesson is we're all in this together.

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk. Watch here: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Did you know? Chromosome testing in sports has been done before and was stopped because cisgender people repeatedly learned that their chromosomes didn’t match their assigned sex. — Something the “XX and XY only” crowd seems to have forgotten.

Finally some leadership

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

We've been saying it all along: They want U.S. women to have more kids because jobs need to be filled. It sounded like crazy rhetoric, and yet here we are.

As a Missouri resident, I could see everything that’s happening coming a mile away because they already did it to my state. Defunded schools, kicked kids off Medicaid, refused the will of voters, attacked marginalized communities, and sold off farmland to foreign companies. We knew.

This is an actual post from the White House. When you’re doing cosplay, you want to play the action star.

Uh guys? NBC just found out a DHS staffer accidentally added a journalist to an email thread about an ICE raid in Denver. Yeah, a completely separate incident. THAT staffer is being punished — so why aren’t Hegseth & Waltz???

No horror is too low to go for them.
