Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Sucking up to Trump, who views friendship as leverage, won't work. Standing up to a bully may be uncomfortable but firmly extracting security guarantees and denying him an easy victory is the only option.

I've just signed "Marks & Spencer - stop advertising on GB News" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @StopFundingHate

23 February 1928 | A French Jewish girl, Marguerite Gruska, was born in Metz. She arrived at #Auschwitz in a transport of 1,300 Jews deported from Drancy on 31 July 1944. She did not survive.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

Through incredible courage, resilience, and dignity, survivors share their harrowing experiences of genocide. Their stories of loss, hope, and survival continue to inspire us all. #NeverForget www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

O Lord, grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end. #Compline prayers for Pope Francis for a speedy and full recovery. 🙏

Something to remind you It's a world worth saving

lol “defended” is a wild word to use since that would make him 0 and 1

Compare this with Trudeau's readout

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

If you disagree, please repost.

All the transphobes who gleefully post a pre-transition photo of Dr Upton are not respecting her privacy and are doing so without her expressed consent. This completely invalidates their argument that they care about Nurse Sandie's privacy. They just hate trans women.

Very interesting…

In a world of Trumps, be a Chris Kluwe. 💙

Thousands attended the Ukraine solidarity rally in London today www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Trump's DOJ is preparing to put all incarcerated transgender women into men's facilities as early as next week, and according to NPR "the bureau is well aware of concerns about potential risks of assault, sexual violence and suicides"

That's one way to backfire all over yourself and demonstrate something is true. Byline Times must be doing something right, eh?

I always thought French Far Right National Rally Party (formally National Front Party) a bunch of Fascist pigs.. But it speaks volumes, that they pulled out of CPAC over Steve Bannon’s Nazi salute❗️ Trump will soon speak.. Musk, Farage, Afd’s Weidel, Truss etc all remain sniffing each other’s bums🥴

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

🤣

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...

And so the saga continues

The firing of Brown is going to get most of the attention, but the firings of the JAGs might be more significant in some ways. They're responsible for ensuring the military follows the law. - @ktoropin.bsky.social and @tomnovelly.bsky.social with the news www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Seems like a good time to mention this story that was a pain in the ass to report but we thought could be important. Upshot - military officials insisted the JAsG (I think that's technically what it should be) would review the orders. Same officers who were axed tonight.

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chimed in online after Canada beat the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off final. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

“Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over democracies of free Europe.He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny” www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

IT IS A COUP. In the few days since @carolecadwalla.bsky.social wrote this terrifying article, Trump and Musk have loudly displayed their allegiance to Putin. They are rapidly turning the USA into a Putinist dictatorship. broligarchy.substack.com/p/it-is-a-co...

If you're an immigrant and you voted for Trump you're even dumber than the other MAGA dumbfucks.

"Hey Scotland, you know that disastrous strategy that someone most of the country utterly reviles is carrying out in the US? We're going to do that" is very much worthy of a slow clap for the transphobes over at Scottish Labour.

Since AI is supposedly destined to put us all out of work, the Daily Star decided to investigate if it could do better than a man who is feeling the pressure – Ruben Amorim.

So Russian aggression should not be called Russian aggression, even if it is aggression by Russia. Why would the US want to stop people from calling Russian aggression Russian aggression...? It's almost as though Trump is Putin's puppet. Will they ban the phrase "Putin's puppet" next...?
