A king sending his troops to quell unruly Bostonians is a decision that always works out great for the king, historically speaking.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

Ru's book, What Remains?, is one of the most inspiring and life-affirming books I've read - shot through with warmth, wit, rebelliousness love and steadfast care. Not bad for a book about death, funerals and grief. It's an astonishing piece of work.

Glaciers provide stable melting water to a very large % of all farms in the entire world. When (not if) we lose this stable, slow, dependable glacier melt water, our food system will collapse.

At CPAC, Elon Musk claims that Ukrainians are dying on the front line “for the biggest graft machine I’ve ever seen.” He provides no evidence for this, nor does betray any understanding that Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom, in a war not of their choosing.

Just in case people have forgotten, Trump has an abiding hatred of Zelensky for refusing to pursue Biden and his son, Hunter in an investigation Trump wanted opened in Ukraine, as he thought it would help Trump’s 2020 Presidential run. What you see now is spite

Hours after Lavrov's lie, Russia attacked energy infrastructure in Odesa. About 160,000 people in the city are without electricity and heating. The temperatures are below zero Celsius in Ukraine this week. Hospital and daycares were also damaged. True face of Russia.

Note to media Stop saying these are peace talks. Russia, a terrorist state, invaded sovereign Ukraine in 2014 w the intention as they stated to eliminate all Ukrainians & steal lead. They are committing genocide & can stop the war at any moment by getting the hell out of Ukraine

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this. Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.” What?! 👀

As the US sits around the table with Lavrov (sanctioned by the Biden) the Russian attacks on civilians in Kyiv haven’t stopped. The Trump administration didn’t even get a cessation in drone attacks in exchange for the PR coup of talks and bringing the regime in from the cold.

This is why the Tesla boycott/divestment strategy can work where others have failed. If we can move Tesla stock, we can wipe out a huge amount (if not all) of Elon Musk's wealth. This opportunity is too important not to pursue all-out. #TeslaTakedown

Even by his god-awful standards, this is one of Trump’s most disgusting press conferences. He’s attacked Zelenskyy, using Kremlin talking points that he only has a 4% approval (LIE). Then, again, Trump blames him & Ukraine for starting the war. THEY. WERE. FUCKING. INVADED.

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

I'm sworn off existential reactionary angst political posting in reaction to world events, but world events and the media coverage are testing my resolve. I feel like the person depicted in Munch's The Scream, and my jaw aches from night-time teeth grinding. Strongly suspect I'm not alone.

Trump says Ukraine must hold new elections if it wants a seat at the negotiating table. Odd how Trump is not demanding Russia hold a democratic election for long-time dictator Putin to have a seat at the negotiating table.
