Reminder that what is offensively called Ireland's "great famine" or "great hunger" was in fact a colonial genocide by England. It's crazy that people still think it's because "Irish people literally just ate potatoes and whoops, there was a blight suddenly"...

Trump Met With Putin. Now Zelensky’s Bringing The Grown-Ups.

Hey, Trump. They are not here to HONOR you or America. They are here in solidarity for President Zelinskyy. They are here due to the fiasco in Alaska and your bowing down to Putin. Stop patting yourself on the back, stop your delusions, stop trying to spin the truth and sell bull to the MAGAs.

I’m filing a formal request for information about the Trump Administration’s action and role in directing federal law enforcement and military personnel in a recent operation intended to intimidate those defending a fair electoral process.

Massive demonstrations erupted in Washington, D.C. over the weekend against Trump, despite heavy patrols by regime forces. Thousands of people filled the streets, chanting “Trump Must Go”; demanding his resignation. ( 📹 @scootercasterny.bsky.social ) #3E #NoKings #TrumpTakeover #Resist #indivisible

‘The only way to negotiate with Russia is with a gun on the table’ - Dovilė Šakalienė, Lithuanian Minister of Defence. Absolutely correct.

Jessica: I also heard no complaints when Mike Johnson decided to abdicate his job to say actually congress isn't in session anymore because I don't want to have to vote on turning over the Epstein files…. so be equal opportunity in your complaints about fleeing your job

It should be an impeachable offense, on its own. Same for the “golf” trips. If there are to be cuts, let ‘em START at the top!

KYLE CLARK: “The Trump administration is trying to get insider access to voting systems in Colorado…” REPUBLICAN officials stopped them, and are sounding the alarm🚨

This part...

Sabotaging anything good has become a GOP trademark. It's all "take us back to the dark ages" with those folks.

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

If true, it’s worrisome.

Gov. Kathy Hochul on NYC Comptroller Brad Lander’s arrest: “It’s bullshit.”

HAPPENING NOW: New Yorkers are protesting against ICE’s illegal arrest of NYC comptroller Brad Lander.

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

IMPORTANT LOS ANGELES UPDATE: For those who don't live here, LA is not in "crisis". It is not a war zone. This is a distraction driven by a desperate administration and aided by an even more desperate main stream media and social media morons. The LAPD even said the protests are peaceful.

This administration is filled to the brim with fools.

People really need to keep up on this, not just for themselves. For others.

While Trump continues to cry for white South Africans, bemoaning a bogus white genocide, House Republicans voted for massive Medicaid cuts — voted for poor and middle class Americans to die by the millions

As many as seven GOP senators “are threatening to oppose the House bill if it limits states’ ability to receive more federal Medicaid funding through health care provider taxes and if it requires more working-class people to pay more into the program.” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.)…

Lies, lies, and more lies. A never-ending stream of lies. It’s a historic level of depravity.

My new favorite book

BREAKING: European leaders have issued a ceasefire ULTIMATUM to Putin. Either he negotiates an end to the war, or Europe will unleash “massive” sanctions against Russia and supply Ukraine devastating weapons. Putin has 36 hours to respond.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

We live in hell, dude www.wired.com/story/massiv...

In an authoritarian regime, telling the truth is a Hostile and Political Act.

I really hope #peeweegerman becomes a well known thing. 😀

Take this guy's expert advice: Don't fly into Newark. 😳

⚡Crimean Tatar Mejlis rejects any international recognition of Crimea as Russian, chairman says. The statement comes amid reports that the recognition of Crimea as Russian territory is being considered as part of a U.S.-backed proposal to end the war in Ukraine.

Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Iowa. Wow, we see you 💚! Huge thanks to local law enforcement for helping keep everyone safe. With their support, four MAGA individuals have already been arrested for assault.
