“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

GEN. PETRAEUS: What I mean by Arsenal of Democracy is that Ukraine will be most important military-industrial complex in free world. It is producing most impressive, cutting-edge, extraordinary unmanned systems, that integrate software with hardware, with constant innovation.

The Earth is getting bigger in the window. The crew of Artemis II is now about 8,200 nautical miles from splashdown, which should happen in about one hour. You can watch live here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXv_...

On Sunday, Hungary will hold parliamentary elections. These elections loom large the world over. Viktor Orbán is a central figure in the international far right and his loss would be blow to familiar figures like JD Vance and Donald Trump, who are his pupils. snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

Word.

Without a doubt!

Senate Democrats who pose and preen like Cory Booker should spend more of their time actually fighting as the opposition party to a fascist takeover, instead of just writing about it… njtoday.news/2026/02/04/s...

Lo que está pasando es moviendo para adelante, todo el mundo está preparándose para sobrevivir y existir sin el apoyo o la influencia de los EEUU.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

¡Órale pues!

Muy orgullosos de que el criminal de guerra Netanyahu, máximo responsable del genocidio en Palestina y ahora en Líbano, nos considere un país hostil. #BoicotIsrael #ParemosElGenocidio #PalestinaLibre www.publico.es/internaciona...

I’m in the shop all by myself today - so let’s have the best day ever, just to prove to the others that I do do some work.

No country in history has killed as many Journalists, bombed as many ambulances, deliberately killed as many paramedics or killed such a high percentage of children as Israel. Not one, EVER.

I know, I know… but keep watching ☠️☠️☠️

¡es cierto! 😻

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon? - Cancelled his July 4th US visit. - Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore. - Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war. The first American pope. He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked Democrats' war powers resolution to end Trump's Iran war. This reckless, unauthorized war has taken the lives of servicemembers, thousands of civilians abroad, & it's costing families here at home. And Republicans continue to be complicit.

No more lies. No more cover-ups. It’s time to release ALL of the Epstein files, NOW.

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues. He had just asked to call his wife. They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw. Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

Illinois has upheld our commitments. Trump must stop this political stunt and start releasing the funds, get the project moving again, and protect the Great Lakes.

Oof!

This is gross.

Un ataque con drones israelí mata al corresponsal de la cadena Al Jazeera Mohammed Wishah en la ciudad de Gaza

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

Wow!!!! 💙

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth. My firm is now 4-0 in these cases against DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/cases/massac...

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

The truest thing I’ve read today….🤣

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

Congress is completely useless at this point.

One good use of the supposed two-week ceasefire is to get back to talking about the Epstein files

Uruguay generates nearly 43% of its electricity from wind and solar. In 2010, the share was less than 1%. Most of the rest if hydro. Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources. More here www.forbes.com/sites/kensil...

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate, has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result expands the court’s liberal majority to 5–2, extending its current ideological balance for years to come.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

America is now on the clock. We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.

If anyone wonders who is to blame for *all of this,* look no further than to mitch mcconnell. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Maybe when jv vance finishes campaigning for orbán over in Hungary, he can come back to the US and do his job . . .

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
