I feel like we’re weeks away from seeing Trumpers do this en masse at a rally

America will have to live with the shame of what's happening here for years. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

On the one side, I do not love being a Jew in a country now ruled by explicit Nazis. On the other hand, this is all amazing ad footage for the Dems in 2026.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

For those who still believe Russian propaganda: #Zelensky had already offered Putin negotiations On February 25, 2022—just one day after #Russia launched its full-scale invasion—Zelensky publicly called on Putin to negotiate, hoping to stop the bloodshed. The response? Silence.

Steve Bannon last night with a Nazi salute followed by the smug nod which says, ‘Yeah, we can do this in the open now.’

Bannon has a bit of a "I can't afford to sue all of you if you call it a Nazi salute" half heartedness to it that Musk's didn't.

I’m sure Steve Bannon was just doing an “awkward gesture”.

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.” In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.

Via Euronews: As EU countries try to close ranks on Trump, Hungary emerges as main roadblock www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Donald Trump wants to strike a deal to end Russia's war on Ukraine. What could possibly go wrong? For Europe, just about everything, it seems.

The transatlantic partnership is in our interest but it’s at a turning point. Rather than hand-wringing, time to muscle up. 🔹seize $300bn in frozen Russian assets & use them to arm Ukraine 🔹boost defence spending & industry now 🔹no new Yalta. @carnegieendowment.org @rmomtaz.bsky.social

An Israeli minister says that removing Palestinians from Gaza would rely on force rather than so-called "voluntary migration". Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi called the scheme a “deportation plan”. He attacked Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara for demanding a legal review of the plan.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

The Moscow Institute of Computer Science has "caught fire", I felt a great disturbance in the algorithm, as if millions of bots suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

It’s midnight in Ukraine. Russia just dropped an aerial bomb on a 9-story apartment building in Kherson full of sleeping people. Russia is a terrorist state!

Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, resigned on Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order that she drop a corruption case against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, that she had championed, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

if I were Europe I'd be doing a crash university buildout right now. a whole bunch of top US academics can be had at pennies on the dollar www.thebulwark.com/p/the-doge-b...

First, we were told everyone voted for Trump because of economic anxiety and a desire for lower prices. Now, we’re told that economic hardship and higher prices are what people voted for. So which is it?

⚡️'Russia will try to divide us' — Kallas on US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia. European foreign ministers and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the U.S.-Russia talks in Riyadh, Kallas said on X on Feb. 18.

Cuerpo (Spanish finmin) argued that issuing common debt to finance “public goods” such as defense and electricity interconnectors is a “no-brainer.” Also: Spain is the NATO country with the lowest ratio of military spending. www.politico.eu/article/eu-w...

The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

He said he wanted to be a dictator...

I guess one way to get around FOIA is to fire everyone who handles the FOIA requests 🙃

"I called it ethnic cleansing. But when I saw the images of starving babies in Gaza I had to upgrade my language." By Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Joe Sacco www.theguardian.com/world/pictur...

look I'm on record not being a fan of the current Prime Minister Keir Starmer but I take Starmer ANY DAY over Vladimir fucking Putin because I know what I'm talking about, you aged leather purse

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

“It just felt like such a second violation, but on a much, much deeper level." Paula Doyle is one of several survivors of sexual violence calling for a ban on the use of victims' counselling notes in trials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9Xd7XQSJck

Happy Independence Day "Lithuania"! Here is a picture of you peacefully leaving Russia in 1991, for which you don’t show enough gratitude. Russia is the leading provider of European independence days.

BROWN: Is it a mistake to not include Ukraine in this meeting about ending the war in Ukraine? BURCHETT: No, ma'am. The last 3.5 years, no one has attempted to negotiate with Russia. All they're done is open up the American taxpayers to $200b+ of investment & I think the gravy train is about to end

The Daily Mail has for a long time been protecting a senior journalist who it knows to be a sexual predator. We are helping his victims get justice by suing the Daily Mail - and him. goodlaw.social/24jb

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

Baltic states have shut down last links to Russian electricity grid • Move highlights deep, structural impact of war in Ukraine on Europe's energy supplies and infrastructure • Baltic states will connect to EU grid and Russian enclave of Kaliningrad will need to generate own power supplies

If you’ve been scolded by the Pope AND by the Auschwitz Memorial in the same week, it’s time to take a minute and reconsider your choices.

On a cold December evening in 2021, during an OSCE meeting in Stockholm, Lavrov outlined what he called “a new security architecture” for Europe. And Trump, knowingly or otherwise, might now be implementing those plans.🧵1/5

Yesterday, Vivamedi Clinic director pleaded with people close to hunger-striking regime prisoner journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli for her to end the hunger strike in order to avoid a lethal result. It makes us think that her condition is critical. It's her 38th day today.

He is firing FAA workers by the hundreds and he knows he is going to end up killing a lot of people so we get this tweet and that covers everything apparently

JD Vance shares the story of when Donald Trump asked him to be his Vice President.

The JD Vance team flagged my TikToks for impersonation and had my account banned for making fun of him in a doughnut shop.

The QAnon administration: pro-child sexual abuse, pro-CSAM, pro-human trafficking. Perversion as praxis.

Trump officials are reportedly pushing Romania to let Andrew Tate and his brother leave the country, amid human trafficking and sex crime cases. www.ft.com/content/3f95...
