For those deliberately misleading people tonight that a Trump retweet means he is souring on Putin, please cast your mind back almost a year ago to this Trump tweet threatening Putin. It’s a regular tactic Trump used to trick fools. There are sadly lots of them.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

Tax the parasites. They won’t leave, as the MA tax on millionaires, another important corridor for capital accumulation, has already demonstrated. Trust the NYTimes to uncritically reproduce their bullshit talking points. www.wbur.org/news/2025/04...

Canada stands with Ukraine. Our new loan guarantees and financing will support a just and lasting peace — and help the Ukrainian people rebuild and recover.

Ukraine’s cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is Canada’s cause. At this critical juncture, we are reinforcing our support with up to $2.5B in new loan guarantees and other mechanisms to help Ukraine secure a just and lasting peace, and to recover and rebuild. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news...

Soutien total à @rokhayadiallo.bsky.social. Et comparer ce dessin à Joséphine Baker est un contresens total. Baker tentait de subvertir 1 dispositif raciste,auquel elle s’opposait,dans 1 contexte scénique qu’elle maîtrisait. Là,1 imaginaire colonial est réactivé pour déshumaniser la personne visée.

NEW: Alan Dershowitz tells Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor "You are a real mensch:" Newly released emails show that Florida federal prosecutors had "social" meetings with Epstein's lawyers as they worked to mitigate the sex trafficker's sentence. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Trump in 2024: I "was never on Epstein’s Plane". Trump DOJ 5 years ago: "Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)". Stop breaking the the law. Release ALL the Files.

If we want an independent media that isn’t the plaything of oligarchs, we’re going to have to build it together. That's why were offering 30 days free right now for Bulwark+. Get it here: lnk.thebulwark.com/48QbKyS

People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.

60 Minutes, dead at 57. The murder weapon was Bari Weiss.

💯 Il ne suffit pas de stipuler que la vente de produits incitant à la haine raciale ou objets de discrimination basée sur la race, le sexe, la religion ou l’orientation sexuelle dans ses CGU, il faut l'appliquer. Fnac, Cultura et Amazon doivent prendre leurs responsabilités !

Let's have one of those shadow hearings.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

ALERTE GENERALE ! Une pétition a été lancée sur le site de l'Assemblée nationale demandant que le gouvernement arrête d'utiliser X pour ses communications officielles. On signe toutes et tous pour lui donner le maximum de visibilité. C'est ici : petitions.assemblee-nationale.fr/initiatives/...

NEW: Doxing-for-hire services are using forging emergency data requests from law enforcement to trick major tech companies like Apple and Amazon into handing over people's private information. @davidgilbert.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/doxers...

I mean, we directly threatened their territorial sovereignty repeatedly in the last several years. What did you expect?

When far right authoritarians team up to “defend democracy” by dismantling multilateral institutions, you know it’s an absolute con job.

NEW: SCOTUS will hear arguments Monday on Trump’s attempt to fire the last Democratic FTC commissioner. A ruling for the president could dangerously expand his control over agencies regulating the economy, stock market, campaign finance and communications.

OTD in 1978 USSR & Afghanistan signed a "friendship treaty". We invaded them a year later. So you can trust us with a peace deal now.

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests." Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race." Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

This week showed what online communities can do. By sharing the petition for an inquiry into Russian influence, people have forced Parliament to act.

From lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty, to taking on the media-backed gambling lobby, there was much to praise and far less to criticise in the Chancellor’s annual statement, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Let's also not forget that when Marjorie Taylor Greene entered Congress in 2021, she was worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later, worth around $25,000,000. Donald Trump isn't the only person using a political office to make money. #Corruption

These are wealthy men in their fifties cackling at the idea of outsourcing your bullying to a chatbot

Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.

Charlie Sykes provides some appropriate perspective on the soon-to-be former representative.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

It is indisputable that Brexit has been an economic disaster, and notable that none of its political architects have paid any price.

Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes. Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

Yes, the president of the United States endorsed hanging senators and representatives.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Mother Jones has been on fire on the John Roberts beat and, man, I'd love to see our national press pick up this ball. "It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Presenting Ukraine with an ultimatum ain't great. To put it mildly. What was even more worrisome in the Axios rundown is that USA-Russia secret negotiation will also deal with 'security of Europe'. Bad sign. There's already a plan for that: NATO. Any new plan Russia created is very bad.

Agree this is an important piece. Also: -Don't miss Lincoln Caplan's excellent piece, on same theme, last month in Harvard magazine www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem... -Every Roberts profile should point out that he was on GWB's Florida Recount team in 2000. As were Brett K, Amy CB.

🚨 Have employers of women reporters who have been berated and abused in the past few days by Trump spoken up to defend their journalists? He called a Bloomberg report "piggy," and berated a women reporter from ABC News/Disney. Bloomberg or ABC News statements? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/b...

She’s lying, of course, but it is noteworthy that the feels like she has to lie and say these things. She’s a weathervane and this is a sign of the way the wind is blowing.

I call these #SchrodingersChildren They are both too young & impressionable to see a drag show w/o being dangerously groomed AND Old enough to be hanging out w rich predators w/o it being a big deal anyone should worry about AT THE SAME TIME! They’re kids/mature enough depending on the narrative.
