Last year, foreign affairs journalist Anne Applebaum wrote: “The only way Putin wins now is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to be sick of the war…by persuading Trump to cut off Ukraine…and by convincing Europeans that they can’t win either.” He's already persuaded Trump to cut off Ukraine.

A good outcome with the Greek state acquiring these photographs, even if it feels very wrong for the dealer to have benefitted financially.

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

I…..didn’t realize that this was going to be a story about me. I thought it was about the Revolution / 250th! I wanted people to know that everyday people coming together to act can result in momentous change… www.wtnh.com/celebrate-25...

An important reminder

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Hate sells. It’s their brand.

Imagine having this little self-awareness.

When asked what would come next on the tariff front, "#War,” posted Bannon, an ally of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein who had even tried to revamp Epstein’s character up until his arrest.

Always the same: because sentimental pasts are a nostalgic invention there’s rarely any evidence of this imaginative place so the AI slop machine is cranked into gear to provide it.

Trump says he is imposing new global tariffs and that he can destroy any country

We don’t share this lightly. We’ve received information about a possible ICE surge. Please stay aware, double-check sources before sharing, and make sure your neighbors know their rights. If you need support, you’re not alone. #maryland #ICE #DMV #baltimore

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody. That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

The Nerve has been reporting this story for weeks now ...

The UK is not messing around. @AGPamBondi and @TheJusticeDept that is what accountability looks like. It’s time to act. The American people demand justice for the survivors.

"Opposition is a defined constitutional role - not something you can just claim... It is utterly depressing to see all media cover Farage's shadow-shadow cabinet nonsense as if it is of any consequence or has any substance. I might as well announce my Bermondsey Olympics team for Los Angeles 2024."

"Republican dominated Alabama legislature is under stress this legislative session after discovering a new $200 million annual bill courtesy of the Trump Regime's Big Beautiful Bill which cut federal funding for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program serving about 750,000 Alabamians." - Telegraph

Ever since his sister became the Attorney General, business has been good for Brad Bondi, a white-collar defense lawyer. He has racked up an amazing set of wins for clients facing investigation and prosecution by Pam’s DOJ. But maybe it’s just a coincidence. youtube.com/shorts/9200i...

Man who ruined the country suggests more ways to do so www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Barack Obama: There’s this young state rep, James Talarico. He’s a really talented young man. What people long for is some core integrity. Just a sense of someone who walks the walk, doesn't just talk the talk. A guy like him, his starting point is ‘Let me say what I believe.’

James Talarico: There is a backlash growing across Texas to the extremism and the corruption in our politics. We have a people powered movement to take take back our country — and clearly Donald Trump has taken note. We're building something really special in Texas.

James Talarico: My Republican colleagues were promoting a hoax that students were identifying as cats. They want us talking about furries so we don't realize that they are picking our pockets, gutting our health care, and raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for their billionaire donors.

Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump r**ing children.

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

The website for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is completely scrubbed and gone! They didn't even leave a legacy statement.

Colbert and Kimmel have met the moment under our slide into fascism in a way that institutions, press, and the Democratic Party haven’t
