After Russia attacked Ukraine -President Zelenskyy’s country stood as a barrier between Putin and all western democracies -Providing aid to Ukraine boosted the US economy -And Putin’s army has been devastated, greatly reducing his ability to hurt America Has JD Vance said thank you once

Threads vs. Bluesky. Spot the difference.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Clay Bennett nails it.

what a day

If you are not ashamed today to be an American you are no more than a cretin, a moron, or both. Our leaders are simply trash. And the self-loathing that any decent citizen feels from knowing this is entirely earned. We elected them.

Again, please, Generative AI (chatbots, image generators...) demands crazy amount of energy and water and increases carbon footprint. When you use it, you are not just stealing copyrighted material and looking super clumsy, you are also accelerating global warming.

Putin’s Bitch

Republicans at the U.S.mint have removed the Capitol congressional gold medal from the website for purchase. What a disgrace, disservice, desecration, and betrayal to the sacrifices made by the officers who risked our lives defending the Capitol from the mob of trump supporters.

Hey, where are all the people who swore they would defend the Constitution of the United States against all domestic enemies?

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

NEW: I just asked Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett if she had a message to Elon Musk. What would she say to him? Here was her answer: “Fuck off.”

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

They are stealing from you.

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action. Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:

Just for the record, Putin started this war. Ukraine defended itself. Russia should be pushed out, and Ukraine should be defended at all costs. Anybody suggesting otherwise is a traitor.

"Somebody has to make that move!" Take 1 minute to listen to this excerpt of John Carlos' message to 400 High School students in Maryland today. Who looks that chill in front of 400 teens? Take these words to heart and send this on to someone who may need it. Somebody who needs to “make that move.”

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

One more time for the people in the back: Trump does not give a f*ck about working folks!

If you, as a politician, cannot stand up to what you know are illegal overreaches of power, you are not doing your sworn duty, and need to recognize that you are not suitable for the job, elected or not.

Just got out of jail. Only forty four left to go to catch John Lewis’s record. Remember - peaceful civil disobedience. Don’t comply in advance.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

you know what else was woke, the French revolution

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

AP: Trump admin has halted the firings of 100's of federal employees working on the nation's nuclear weapons programs. “The DOGE people are coming in with absolutely no knowledge of what these departments are responsible for,” said Daryl Kimball, w/the Arms Control Association. #ProudBlue

The cybertruck hasn't achieved much, but it has demonstrated how well other cars are designed. The universal base level of competent car design was kind of invisible until the cybertruck. It's like if a toilet came out that sprays shit across the room, making us appreciate other toilets that don't.

I heard that some of you people prefer to receive your snarky science fact-checking of viral news stories in meme format, and I am here to help.

The constituency for the destruction Trump creates are the ppl responsible for putting him in the WH: 1. Putin: trying to take down the US for decades, in revenge for what he sees as our destruction of the USSR. 2. Disaster capitalists: crisis means broligarchs, KSA & UAE can buy US assets cheap.

Well at least our military will have exploding trucks that lock soldiers inside and honk out a fart noise before they're obliterated.
