so uhhhh did Elon shut down the National Sex Offender Registry too? www.nsopw.gov

I've now seen Elon's weekend harassment email to federal workers. Here's what it says. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/elon-...

It’s amazing how quickly circumstances can change and make assumptions you made recently obsolete.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

I see far too many westerners supportive of Ukraine but afraid of "escalation" and Russia in general. My message is: don't be. Russia isn't USSR anymore, it's not a world power. It's a third world country inflating its importance through misinformation and propaganda.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Russian forces currently occupy around 20 percent of Ukraine. At the current rate of advance, it would take Russian forces over 83 years to capture the remaining 80 percent of Ukraine, assuming that they can sustain massive personnel losses indefinitely. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

'Whatever deal is made between Trump and Putin, it will not be enforced without the Ukrainians' will to do that' - ex foreign minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba

'The West's biggest mistake about Ukraine was made before the war, and it was non recognising that Ukraine belonged to the West' - Dmytro Kuleba. There would be no war if Ukraine was part of the West and wasn't seen through the Russian lens, he said

You know, J.D. Vance wasn't there to inform the defenders of Kyiv in 2022 that Ukraine couldn’t win, so they fought bravely and fiercely and eventually defeated the Russian onslaught to take the Ukrainan capital, thus totally derailing Putin's blitzkrieg.

Light Trails Holga 120CFN (Handheld) Kodak Gold 200 Not often that I attempt a night shot & I wasn’t at all sure this would work. Probably around 4-5secs exposure (counting 1-Mississippi in my head). So technical 😁😂 #believeinfilm #thedailyholga #womencreating #womensart

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

It seems like gods are delivering a just punishment upon us all for our sins

Someone gives a Nazi salute in front a crowd, that person doesn’t deserve a moment of peace for the rest of their lives

What if, and hear me out here, folks who used their moment before a huge audience to whip out a sieg heil had to live the rest of their lives in fear?

I love a good neon sign, this one can be found in Van Wert, Ohio #photography #neon

For eight decades, alliances have formed the bedrock of American foreign, trade and cultural policy. But not any more. Europeans, but also America's Asian allies, need to accept this new world, and learn how to live in it. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Trump is a new spin on the old Manchurian candidate genre since he said he was at least half traitor on the campaign trail and Republican voters were like, "Works for me!" A bit fuzzier with low-info voters. But for MAGA this is who they wanted.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

I've long believed ICE should be dismantled, not only because we never needed the agency (its work was performed by other agencies for decades upon decades before 9/11), but also because it's a tremendously powerful magnet for bigots and bullies.

my hope is that kathy hochul gets so mad about trump fucking with congestion pricing that she retaliates by firing adams

No gods, no masters.

Never underestimate Ukraine. Many did, especially Putin. Trump is making the same mistake - again.

🚨Holy shit. Trump has just launched a scathing attack on Zelenskyy. He’s actually called him a dictator. There can be no doubt: the President of the United States is now a Kremlin asset.

You would think that if Zelenskyy was a dictator, Trump would be sucking up to him instead of whatever the fuck this disgrace is. Trump’s hatred of him is proof that he’s a paragon of democracy.

So much for the idea that a Trump presidency would be good for Ukraine. Once a russian stooge, always a russian stooge. Utterly predictable.
