Powerful & heartbreaking from @lukeharding1968.bsky.social on Trump’s attempts at extortion of Ukraine’s wealth. Essential reading. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

This is a mighty fine beer

It feels like people are waking up

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Dear supporters of Ukraine! Join rallies in your city for the 3rd anniversary of the full-scale war/ 11th of russian aggression! Let's remind the world that russia is a terrorist state and must pay for its crimes. Ukraine needs your voices. Check locations: uaworldmap.ukrainianworldcongress.org/en

If you are Diddy's lawyer which let's face it is a licence to print money and you quit then you must know something that's not worth risking your career for - good grief either that or Trump is about to pardon him ?! youtu.be/QxPCfVrz7as?...

Phew that sure is a “controversial gesture” as the media would say

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

The good news is that he’s not very popular, the bad news is he is very very very very ensconced

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?
