People in southern Syria are protesting at Israel occupying more Syrian land.

We rescued Phoenix from being locked in a cage after being used for breeding. Nothing will prepare you for just how good he looks today… (1/5)

FACTS: Zelenskyy is a hero. Putin is a war criminal. Russia has killed civilians. Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Russia has been losing the war the entire time. Russia has had >800,000 casualties in the war. Europe has helped Ukraine >2x as much as the US has.

BREAKING: Trump digs his MAGA knife deeper into the backs of our brave veterans as his Department of Veterans Affairs fires another 1,400 employees — a staggering loss for the already understaffed organization. #Thisiswhywefight #Bluecrew #Resistance #Resist www.msn.com/en-us/career...

I don’t want to alarm you, but Susan Collins is, like, really concerned.

36 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and unification of Germany, the spirit of homo sovieticus is alive in the former DDR... it just got transformed into Neo-fascism. And yes, we are aware that this is a simplification of the German problems, but there is no way unsee this corelation.

Polish general Rajmund Andrzejczak: "If Russia attacks even an inch of Lithuanian territory, the response will come immediately. Not on the first day, but in the first minute. We will hit all strategic targets within a radius of 300 km. We will attack St. Petersburg directly". (October 2024 onet.pl)

Oooh weeeee, Maddow called out her bosses for firing the non-white news hosts Joy Reid & Alex Wagner on LIVE TV!

WATCH: Hegseth accidentally admits they fired all the military attorneys so they won’t be “roadblocks to anything” — then tries to clean it up and quickly move on

"The Republican party that McConnell is now shaking his head at is the one that he created. He has no one but himself to blame," writes Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan.

MSNBC canceled Katie Phang’s show too? If any of you are watching that awful channel, don’t. They’re down on all fours for Donald Trump.

I love this for him. More of this between now and the mid-terms!

Jonathan Capehart and Jose Diaz and Ayman are gone, too. So @msnbc.com, what's the new slogan. Making the news white again, tepid again. Seriously, with this, do you really think anyone will pay 1 cent to stream your spin off? But sure, keep the washed up, Joe Scarborough propped up.

President Zelenskyy has more courage, principle and honor in his right pinky than Trump has displayed in his whole, vile lifetime.

Crockett: They have a Trump trifecta. So, if the government shuts down, it is going to be on Trump and his minions. It is not going to be on us because we weren't elected to gut social security, medicaid, medicare, and USAID. That's not what we campaigned on. So that's not what we're going to do.

In case it wasn’t clear before, the U.S. is officially aligned with Russia

Trump: "We've actually going to Ft Knox to see if the gold is there. Because maybe somebody stole the gold. Tons of gold."

FDA employees overseeing medical devices and other key areas received calls and emails beginning Friday night notifying them that their recent terminations had been “rescinded effective immediately,” according to messages viewed by @apnews.com.

Not asking much… Make America Normal Again

Trump on Russia: "We're trying to do some economic development deals. They have a lot of things that we want ... they have massive rare earth."

REPORTER: Can you explain the rationale in having the US vote against the UN resolution that Ukraine proposed? TRUMP: It's sort of self-evident I think

Dear Europe, Trump completely melts under pushback. So push back.

youtu.be/8YGNUjRQfc4?... Yes! wow...

Ruining lives while you pretend to care about the debt then turning around and pushing to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on a literal ego trip

Styopka’s wisdom A man is defined by two things: his perseverance when he has nothing and his respect for others when he has everything #StyopkasWisdom

A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Hero President Zelenskyy is a real leader. 🇺🇦

Yeah, that's not how any of this works.

We live in a weary world that is often exhausting, defeating and terrifying. It needs to be re-enchanted again, a pilgrimage back to childhood wonders. Where we see the world as not something to be conquered but something to be delighted in.

Beatrix Potter used a portion of her wealth to buy up property in the Lake District. She did so to protect the land & curb development. I think about this a lot in consideration of the ways many use their wealth these days. The world needs more Potters.

Every time I look at the state of things, I just want to do this:

The books that are dearest to me are a part of my DNA, their words woven into the fiber of my being, so much so that I cannot imagine myself without them. (art by Frances Cochiacchio)

Same. Very much the same.
