The American empire is failing because of one man's greed, hatred and stupidity.

‼️ Rutte: Europe — with the UK and Türkiye and with Norway — is over 500 million people. We are facing an adversary in Russia of about 120 to 140 million people. And we are now overly dependent on one ally with about 350 million people making sure that we can defend ourselves against Russia.

👏 Rescued residents of Lyman Soldiers of the 63rd OMB of the Third Corps evacuated two wounded comrades and five civilians from the combat zone. Including a mother with a 7-year-old child.

Germany is conducting a nationwide experiment on whether austerity and neoliberal reforms really fuel the rise of the extreme right. So far it’s confirming the state of the literature. A new poll has the AfD at 28 percent, a comfortable 6 percent ahead. Chart via @patrickkaczmarczyk.bsky.social

🚨🚨This is a MAJOR political and strategic mistake by the UK and a policy which I think has very limited popular support. Loosening sanctions on #Russia is very much playing directly in the hands of #Putin. 🧵 www.bbc.com/news/article...

russians struck Konotop in the Sumy region: part of a residential building was destroyed, and people may still be trapped under the rubble.

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

HODGES: We are going to regret that we, United States, didn’t do more to help Ukraine, because Ukraine going to win this war. Ukraine’s defeat of Russia is in best interests of all of us. Ukraine will become dominant defense industry power in Europe. America will be left behind.

To those who "don't do politics": I believe that politics is gonna do YOU. 😒

Kyiv bids farewell to 12yo Lyubava and 17yo Vira Yakovlieva, murdered in the russian missile attack on their home on May 14. Many defenders, their fallen dad's brothers-in-arms arrived to pay them the last tribute. This is unbearable.

The President of the United States is a traitor.

PLEASE NO!!!!

Among the unexpected gifts war gave me is : owning yourself. War breaks you. War ruins you. It damages you, takes all you have. It’s like fighting the beast you can’t beat. It makes you mental. Some of it you can fix and heal, most you can’t . The only thing you’re left with is : owning it.

More money for the Russians, so they can go on killing Ukrainian civilians.

US Treasury extends sanctions waiver for Russian oil by 30 days. Of course they do. Nobody cares that Russia leveled a residential building onto sleeping families using that oil money just days ago. Unfuckingbelievable.

The US has eased sanctions on Russian oil once again — just two days after renewing them — amid fears of global supply disruptions, Reuters reported. The move came after several countries asked Washington for more time to continue buying Russian crude.

Twenty six, incl a toddler girl & a 10yo boy, were injured in a brutal overnight bombing of Dnipro. For 6h, russians shook the city w drones, ballistics & cruise missiles. Isn't it terrifying that this daily violence stopped being newsworthy? Silence kills. Photo Hromadske.

So today International Gymnatics federation decided to lift (!) all restrictions for Russian and Belarusian athletes . Was it Russian bombing of Dnipro today that wounded a kid that’s only a 5 months old that inspired World Gymnastics ? Or Russian drone bombing a bus stop in Kherson this morning ?

The number of wounded in Dnipro rose to 18 after Russia’s overnight combined strike. The injured include a 2-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, adding children to the toll from the attack on Dnipro and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. #Ukraine

🚨 Russian forces attacked Dnipro and the surrounding region for more than six hours overnight. The massive missile and drone strike damaged an apartment building, energy infrastructure, and homes across the region. Dozens were injured, including children.

Neo-fascists across Europe are trying to trick the voters they are not far-right, extremists, while literally quoting fascist slogans, with some small embellishments. "Blood and soil" seems to be their favourite, as they are racist till the bone, and this tickles them the most. From Sweden to UK.

Upplever samma misstro när man söker vård, första tanken verkar alltid vara att man gnäller i onödan och stör vården. Men jag får ju iaf prata direkt med sköterska och kanske till och med läkare innan de nekar mig vård. Frihet! Valfrihet! (Välj vilken vårdinstans som ska neka dig vård!)
