Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

President Trump called Zelensky illegitimate, unlawful, and undemocratic. Yet, a non-Ukrainian IBAF poll shows 64% of eligible Ukrainian voters support Zelensky. Even if polls are wrong and he loses future elections, he’ll likely accept defeat without urging attacks on Ukraine’s parliament.

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

Government is not a business.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

VETERANS! RED ALERT! (Link in second post.)

Europeans are in grave danger. We need a defence-industrial strategy targeted at not only deterring but defeating Russia if necessary - & positioning us to compete long-term. We need a 🌊'Smart Wave' focused on emerging defence tech not just a 💥'Big Bang that pumps money into govt-defence nexus.

Forrådt.

Germans have been subjected to covert Russian propaganda as well as overt American propaganda - jointly in support of the far-right www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

1. Yesterday, Maine Governor Janet Mills confronted Trump to his own face at a Governor's Dinner over his anti-trans EO. When he threatened her for allowing trans people in sports, she responded: "See you in court." The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

That was one of many, many peaceful protests. My Dad participated in plenty of them in the 60's. They arrested him, tortured him with electro shocks then kicked him out of the country

I'm sold!

He nails it.

When you see trans people being erased, do not look away. Speak up. Push back. Refuse to let it happen in silence. Whether it’s in politics, media or even within our own community, trans erasure is dangerous and it requires action. Make it clear that we will not let this happen on our watch.

In honour of #EastEnders 40th anniversary, here’s its first gay kiss, which sparked tabloid outrage at the time. Brace yourself, it’s a bit racy!

Extortion, pure and simple.

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

There's a lot of explanations claimin Trump has a transactional mindset, that he is looking for deals. That is only partly true. Trump doesn't respect deals, and that is the problem. However good a deal is, or whatever dirty tricks have been used to get a deal - the deal itself is not worth shit.

From "the department of totally irrelevant news that are not even satire":

Sänkta löner och skatter har gjort den svenska ekonomin så knackig att högern känner att vi behöver sänka löner och skatter för att komma tillrätta med den saken.

Now you know. From the best and most reliable news outlet - BrokenNews. Follow @larryandpaul.bsky.social for more on this and other news. (And for heaven's sake, buy the lads some coffee. They look a bit pale).

Hvis dette er tilfelle, at USA i mangel av dårligere ord bruker utpressing, bør vel Listhaugs tanke om å kjøpe amerikanske fregatter legges død for den overskuelige fremtid

VG har også avdekka at to av dei fem fjelltoppane i statistikken har direkte samanheng med saker i VG. Det kunne vere interessant å høyre nokre redaktørar diskutere dette.

Pleading with people to understand exactly this:

A few thoughts on this, Dr Upton isn’t at the centre of a legal case, she’s been dragged into a case between NHS Fife who are complying with the law and a GC nurse who abandoned her patients because trans people give her the ick. I also don’t believe updating GMC details generates a new record

To whip the European defense industry into shape, Brussels has appointed veteran Lithuanian politician Andrius Kubilius as its first-ever defense commissioner. The Kyiv Independent sat down with Commissioner Kubilius to ask whether the EU is ready to step up in the light of recent shifts in the U.S.
