Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers. Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

I just got a new strop to sharpen my kitchen knives. It's made in Ukraine by a Ukrainian company. And, that makes me happy. Слава Україні. beavercrafttools.com/pages/about-us

Trump using same strategies as Orban and Erdogan. How democracies in Hungary and Turkey were overthrown. data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-doge-p...

Heartbreaking. Russia continues to target and kill the innocent. Everyday. For over 3 years. Remember. Take action. Donate.

A compelling synopsis. Ugly, self-serving ambition.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

🇪🇺 EU chief diplomat: The free world needs a new leader, and today that became clear

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today. And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

🇺🇦 In Ukraine, you often realise that you won't get to know yet another remarkable person as you find out about them too late, after their death. Cheka, Iryna Tsybukh, paramedic with the Hospitaliers, is one of them. Today she was posthumously given the title of Heroine of Ukraine. rfi.my/AeoZ

80 years ago, American power was needed to demilitarize Germany in order to defend the values of the free world. Today, German militarization is required to defend those same values from American power!

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

In March 2022, russia deliberately bombed a drama theater in Mariupol crowded with innocent civilians including many children. @AP evidence pointed to 600 dead in that airstrike. That happened less than three years ago, & genocidal war is still ongoing. But the memory is short.

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.

I really wish all these people who want to be ruled by a king would just fuck off to a country that has one. Thailand’s pretty and has amazing food. They’ve even got lèse-majesté laws to stop people from upsetting your bootlicking souls.
