Plotting revenge

I know that in the Bible, religious people ended up abandoning God and mindlessly worshiping a golden calf, so it shouldn’t be surprising that so many today are now bowing down to this orange jack*ss. It’s just more terrifying seeing it this close... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

In my book Twilight of Democracy, I wrote about how authoritarian populism had divided friends, including in Hungary. After Prime Minister Magyar was sworn in today, he said he hoped "Family, friends and communities will be able to speak to each other again." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

Loköttr, the Adventurer

#OTD in 1921, Sophie Scholl was born “She was a central member of the anti-Nazi White Rose group in wartime Germany. She was captured, charged with high treason for distributing anti-war literature, & beheaded along with her brother, Hans.”

Made in Ukraine. Pokuttia ceramics I saw today. Traditional pottery from Western Ukraine, known for its warm colors, carved ornaments, and hand-painted designs.

MAGA is dumb as fuck, Jesse Watters is sexist as fuck, Nick Fuentes is racist as fuck, and Donny Convict is delusional as fuck. thank you for your attention to 'this week in stupid,' my every-Saturday wrap-up of the dumbest fucking shit that happened. link is here, go read it: bit.ly/4faPLGb

APPLEBAUM: Ukraine has drone technology that other people want. EU now able to guarantee funding for Ukraine. Ukraine has become a player in world politics and is valuable to other countries. I think that’s really flipped the narrative. Suddenly, it looks like Ukraine has cards.

😎😅🇺🇦That’s why Ukraine will win — because we never give up. Here are Ukrainian veterans showing their strength, courage, and sense of humor even through the hardest times.

Mother’s Day content for thinking parents, from a defiant Texas mom

She hates me now, but she's geotagged and has a harness for the long road trip home.

⚡️France arrests Ukrainian linked to notorious Russian torture prison in occupied Donetsk. The man is accused of assisting the head of the Izolyatsia prison camp in the torture of inmates. His arrest marks the second time a foreign country has detained a suspect charged with war crimes in Ukraine.

"We are exceeding our plan for destroying Russian forces": Robert "Madiar" Brovdi in an interview with the BBC ▪️ In recent weeks, #Ukraine has sharply intensified strategic strikes, primarily targeting Russia’s oil export infrastructure. 📹: BBC

✈️🇺🇦 Nearly half of the pledged F-16 aircraft have been delayed for various reasons. This raises questions about whether the issue is systemic, what constraints exist, and how many F-16s Ukraine currently has in service. Belgium and Norway are delaying the transfer of 36 F-16 fighters.

Quite frankly anyone travelling to the US voluntarily gets no sympathy from me. They know what they are getting into. news.sky.com/story/englan...

Latest in @theatlantic.com The Ukrainians are now longer pretending that Donald Trump's USA is their friend. Their honesty is important as they seem to understand how much Trump is helping Putin and how important it is that Europe stick together. Gift Link. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

2/2 Putin is directly responsible for all this destruction and wastage. Despite persecuting his own population, Russia would have been left in peace had it not been for invading its neighbour. And so the Syzran refinery burns again and oil revenues are lost.

He's helping

A senior Iranian official says vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz will still be required to pay tolls to the IRGC

Ukraine has confirmed a private air defense unit downed a jet-powered Shahed drone flying over 400 kmh in Kharkiv region, marking a first. The system has integrated 19 enterprise-based units into the national air defense network.

Virginia bluebells.

this is me.

If a Russian is taking they are lying. The only invention that came out of Russia is the Ruse!

I think the answer is yes and I think that Dems should make it very clear that the careers of everyone involved will end in chains and disgrace

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

Interesting that you've all decided that a mad president threatening war crimes and nukes is bad and he should be removed from office. Let's be honest tho, you're a bit inconsistent in how you apply this.

Something that pisses me off to no end. You see it in everything now. All to reduce our quantity and/or quality to make a few cents more.

Republicans? Your move. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

Agreements within the framework of the so-called "Union State" grant Russians the same rights to residence and employment as Belarusians. Also, there is no language barrier. Skyrocketing real estate prices driven by increased demand, competition in the labor market, and strain on infrastructure -

Unexpectedly pretty.

The purge of professional military officers continues.

I'll state this plainly. It will be misread anyway, but that's your problem. Trump is president until he's not, and he retains all the power of that. He can and will do a lot of damage. But it is over for him as a political operator. It's been going that way, but the speech marks the end.

From Orikhovo, Zaporizhzhia region, 16 goats were evacuated because the owner did not want to leave without them.

HERE WE GO AGAIN 👁️🔥 DroneBomber

this is not handing it to the brutal, homicidal, repressive regime, but there’s been a very stark contrast between our idiot, homicidal, incompetent regime and theirs

Russian drones over Kharkiv right now ‼️ air defense is active.

Mockler: This administration is not just changing objectives every single day. They're lowering the threshold for what victory is considered as.

This is what WAR looks like!!!! #Iran #EpsteinFiles

To be completely fair to Sauer, there's no way to come prepare adequately to defend a stupid, ahistorical, illogical, bad faith argument. Winning on one depends on stupid or dishonest judges.

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito fairly and accurately represent the values and character of the people who put them there and who continue to support them.

here's the clip of Gorsuch on "Roman law sources"

We are ruled by morons and it makes me want to light my law degree on fire

If we don't discuss the history of the Holocaust, or if we treat it as an event outside of history, then it can be vacuously dismissed, as the judge does here. I try to explain the usefulness of seeing historical patterns in "Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning."

Ukrainian art. The paintings I especially liked at the exhibition dedicated to the Carpathian Mountains.

Russia launches mass daytime drone attack on western, central Ukraine; Zelensky pitches Easter ceasefire to US negotiators as Russia continues attacks; Russia tells Zelensky to withdraw Ukrainian troops from Donbas 'already today'; and more.
