I sincerely hope that the rest of the world understands that not all of us are MAGA cultists, and that a lot of us are just as horrified - if not more so because it’s happening here - as they are. #uspol #FuckTrump #fuckfascism #fuckfascists #resist #StandWithUkraine

Via Acyn: Kinzinger: There’s a reason that every Trump cabinet member has had to tweet how strong he was today. Because they got the memo from The White House that they better come out and support Trump because this is a really bad day for them and they know it

Just watched 5 minutes of the meeting between Trump and Zelensky. I cannot believe how badly diplomacy has failed. Europe must double down on support for Ukraïna. https://www.axios.com/2025/02/28/trump-zelensky-meeting-vance-ukraine-minerals-deal?ref=activitypub #USPol #EUPol

The Social Security Administration “eliminated” the Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity (OCREO) on Tuesday, Law Dork has learned. “The OCREO office has been eliminated,” the auto-response message read of a person who, as of Monday at least, had been a director in the office. “Please […]

Another illegal act by the occupant of the White House. In August 2021 an act was passed (https://www.congress.gov/117/plaws/publ32/PLAW-117publ32.pdf) to honor the "sacrifice of heroes including Capitol Police Officers Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood, Metropolitan Police Department […]

It’s long past time for the House to impeach Trump again (3rd time hopefully a charm) and the Senate must convict. Meanwhile the rest of peace-oriented world leaders must put down Trump and his administration, build an alternate leadership and program to push Putin out of Ukraine, and rebuild […]

Trudeau just posted, on Twitter, his continued support for Ukraine. He did not mention the United States. I used the JoinSocialBC account to implore him to find or create a Canadian social media platform to use for his outreach. #RussiaUkraineWar #CanPoli #CdnPoli #Canada #DumpMusk #SocialBC

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? It is because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is NATO's umbrella," - Kaja Kallas

Honestly, I have no idea why you still allow women to vote! /s

Trump voters are starting to feel the pain.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 A new WaPo/Ipsos poll shows that most Americans reject his agenda. Why? He’s pardoning insurrectionists, shuttering key government agencies, firing necessary personnel, & funneling power to Pres Musk while ignoring rising costs. jewishdems.bsky.social

Our elected officials are totally abandoning their duty to their constituents while Elon Musk does as he pleases. Whether your senators are on the right, on the left, or in the center, they ALL need to hear from everyday Americans like us today. I just […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

The GOP is primarily servicing the Project 2025 ideology owned by a few billionaire elites through ultra conservative organizations. The cultural issues are covers to distract from the main objective of further controlling the economic environment and further transferring wealth from the middle […]

Putin’s criminality must be held front and center in every discussion of peace in Ukraine. He should not be given a pass to Saudi Arabia; he should be held and transported to The Hague. Same with a visit to the U.S. https://sfba.social/@skykiss/114065113691267745

Every defence and security system we have is entangled with the US. Even GPS is wholly owned by the US Space Force. Our intelligence is automatically shared with the US, whose bases here are allowed to spy on our own citizens. So if the US is now an enemy power, the enemy is already here.

Somebody hacked the TVs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the US today to play this video on a loop. They couldn’t figure out what to do so they sent staff to turn off the TVs, but other staff started turning them back on.

I learned a new word today, which happens to be of Spanish origin. “Autogolpe”. “A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish autogolpe) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d'état in which a political leader, having come to power through […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

The UN should NOT accept the U.S. resolution. Russia is unmistakably the aggressor since the invasion in 2014 and gaining 2022. Denying Putin’s war crimes does not lead to peace. It merely gives Putin another opportunity to rebuild for another attack. Calling for an immediate end to the […]

Chris Murphy (D-CT) provided a summary of the House budget plan. The GOP tried to shield the public from the plan to hand over money and wealth to the rich by holding the hearing on the weekend night. The tax cut to the rich is 850x what is offered to the working class. And any reduction to the […]

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near feature. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop […]
