If Putin actually wanted to end the war in Ukraine, he’d only need to do one thing... pull Russian forces out of Ukraine.

If you read the depressing account of the destruction of the Justice Dept by @carolleonnig.bsky.social, you'd know the FBI did alllllll of the investigative steps they're claiming to have invented today.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

According to this Supreme Court: ❌ Using race conscious admissions in college to give minorities a fair shot ✅ Using race to profile people on the street to detain for immigration sweeps ✅ Using race to disenfranchise minorities in elecciones The only consistency is white supremacy.

I went to New Orleans to see what it looks like when a great American city comes under siege from the government, as masked goons of 'Catahoula Crunch' lie about nabbing bad guys before swarming Home Depot, roofing jobs for folks with brown skin My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/new-...

Note that Roger Stone refers to Prospera, the Network State city in Honduras, as a "freedom city." Trump wants to build ten of these cities on federal land, and Stone makes it clear that these fascist cities are, indeed, the Network State.

Growing numbers of Americans reject authoritarian actions by the Trump regime and are refusing to cooperate, indicating a positive shift in democratic support and a crack in the regime’s power base. Read this excellent analysis 👇 www.justsecurity.org/125639/us-ab...

WCK’s #ChefsForUkraine team has been on the ground in Kryvyi Rih since shortly after Wednesday’s missile strike. To support families and responders working at the site, our team delivered sandwiches, hot soup, and fresh fruit—ensuring people had something warm and comforting as recovery began.

This is good stuff.

I'm a Brit and, I'm going to be frank. Really frank. I'm fucking disgusted looking at these images. What the fuck is America doing to itself? Have you all lost your fucking minds? We all fought and won WW2 to prevent this kind of thing happening in our countries. And here you are doing it anyway.

FLORIDA — Woman in scrubs: “I’m a U.S. citizen! Why are you doing this to me??”

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

Day three of #ArtAdventCalendar. Many moons ago, I used to paint stones. I’d sketch out an idea and then slowly transfer it onto a selected pebble. Here’s an example of one of my concept sketches and the finished stone.

Representative Jim Hines after seeing the unedited strike videos says its one of the most troubling scenes he's ever seen in his time in public service.

OTD in 2003 two Rwandan journalists were given life sentences & a third got 30 years. Their crime? "Inciting genocide". There are a number of "journalists" today who should be genuinely worried by this precedent. Tell Prez your favorite candidate below.

Social Security field office closures, long phone wait times, mass firings, and customer service delays are ALL de facto benefit cuts btw

Going thru customs in India today: - Name? - Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin - Occupation? - No, those are self defence militias and Russia is not involved

Everything in our nativity was done to real people in Chicagoland. After Hannity put our church on his show, some people said that it was "sacrilege," but the real sacrilege is what is done to our immigrant neighbors and siblings by ICE. That's what profanes the image of God.

He stressed that “two individuals in clear distress, with no ability to move and with their vessel already destroyed, were killed by the United States.”

The mysterious Christopher Harborne, who describes himself as a crypto investor, turns out to be the virtual sole source financier for Nigel Farage's Reform Party.

Sen Cotton also believes that the invasion and occupation of Greenland should be a priority.

I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."

A single teaspoon of neutron star matter would weigh about 4 billion tons on Earth — roughly the mass of Mount Everest.
