Russia is once again preparing to escalate the forced removal and deportation of Ukrainian children during upcoming summer months. Russian official stated that about 53K children from occupied Ukraine will “spend their summer holidays” in children’s camps throughout occupied Ukraine and Russia

I feel like I'm burning a lot of calories lately just by wrenching myself from the clutches of cynicism.

A few months late, but ok, yeah, let's go.

So, globalism is bad unless we're using it to torture people. Got it.

Whoever this Mr. Spock is, they sure know of what they speak.

Hey, @maddow.msnbc.com have you seen this??

&?#@!

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

I won't be out marching tomorrow (for health reasons) but I made this donation, and I'm hoping to make a couple of others in the morning. There are so many ways to show up! ✊🏻

I've heard several people describe the market response as a panic. I don't actually view it that way. It seems like a rational response to a completely irrational policy. - Charlotte Howard, Executive Editor of The Economist

The Dow is again down more than 2,000 pts, or 5%, with an hour left to go in the trading day. The Trump people and industry heads on Bloomberg are twisting logic to an amazing degree to try and make it sound not disastrous.

"The numbers have been calculated by the Council of Economic Advisors."

Best parody account in ages.

What kind of person does this and why kind of people enable it? That’s the question- and the answer is clear: cognitively impaired, w/severe personality disorders, such that they do inhabit reality if America isn’t calling their representatives tomorrow they are toast. Every single American-call.

Wisconsin soundly defeated Elon Musk tonight. Elon's an E-normous E-loser! 🤣

I think we all just found out who is going to lead us through this. #corybooker

BOOM

Cool, a new boycott list!

This all feels so much like the early days of the COVID pandemic, except now the disease is fascism, and the entire US is one big infected body. Nobody knows how bad it will get or how long we can survive. 1/2

What a set of bullet points

@schumer.senate.gov Please listen. You have done so much good work in your tenure, but right now you are missing the mark terribly. You must stop thinking about the midterms entirely & show us that you understand this moment. So far, you're falling. Terribly. We are begging you to hear us!

I think we can all agree that "What the fucking fuck?" is a valid form of inquiry.

What @thedemcoalition.bsky.social should do tonight is all show up and then stand with their backs to him for the entire speech.

@maddow.msnbc.com has beautifully summarized the blatantly obvious signs that Trump, Vance & Musk are all, in fact, working for Putin. This one is a must watch. youtu.be/Zn9BTALjtLY?...

Slava Ukraini!! 🇺🇦

America will never again be seen as the leaders of the free world. That officially ended today.

In a telephone town hall tonight, Rep Joe Morrelle (D-NY) said discussions are happening within NYS re: withholding our share of funds from the feds if critical programs like SSDI and Medicare are cut back far enough. NY currently puts in 2x what we get back. 🔥 Let's fucking GO!! 🔥

Roberts can f*ck all the way off.

The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.

Speaker @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social interview with @maddow.msnbc.com last night was infuriating. She tried repeatedly to point out that the current threats and actions by Trump & Musk are far outside the scope of procedure and require a response to match. Yet he could not reply with any… 1/4

God, I love her.❤️

The key is this: The resistance lost, so the revolution must succeed. Grieve fully, then prepare. Find whatever motivation you can and, as much as possible, be a motivator for others. 1/2

Yes, in fact, minds are changing. People are waking up.🧵 A dear friend of mine who is a conservative Christian & a deeply caring person sent a group text today declaring his full-throated opposition to Trump. He was never much of a fan, and he has always been against Christian nationalism, but… 1/

Of course he did

“We wanted to saw the Western world into pieces, but he decided to saw through it himself,” one Russian state television host said.

No one in the GOP is going to stand up to anything, and even as the courts stand strong, our enforcement capacity is being decimated. We are a hair's breadth from becoming an official dictatorship. Prepare, prepare, prepare.

This is indeed THE question.

Probably after he starts having journalists arrested and/or he shuts down the outlets completely.

Breaking "the government" and replacing the "deep state" civil servants with AI bots programmed by 20-something right wing Elon fanboys may sound like a great idea until it's time to eat an egg or a chicken sandwich without fear of getting sick, or deal with a hurricane or get on an airplane.

We're living in 1941 Europe, except there is no United States in the wings about to swoop in and come to the rescue.

Seconded

Rep. Clyberg just now on Deadline Whitehouse was saying the Dems have no power and it's up to the Republicans to turn against Trump's agenda. For the love of god, is this seriously their messaging?!

This happened at my daughter's college in Philly. All 3 involved were arrested are charged, thankfully.

I've been almost entirely focused on the dismantling of the U.S. emergency management system but SUPER important to understand they're also dismantling significant parts of the systems everyone uses to manage disasters globally.

This is a very real thing. And the top brass has zero use for Trump. I predict an eventual split within the ranks, with the good guys led by those with superior experience, knowledge and judgement.
