There has been some back and forth over the headline wording but hard to be more straightforward than this.

🇺🇦Ukrainian drones struck key russian oil export terminals at the port of Novorossiysk, sparking a fire at the facility.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

A big part of Donald Trump's appeal among his ~30%, ride-or-die core is that he's the first president to be sincerely, authentically stupid and incurious in the exact same way as the fabled Median Voter. *Nothing* about his unintelligence is a gimmick or a put-on.

He really does think all the oil is in big cartoon barrels marked OIL we can just roll into a C-130 and peace out with like 1960s Batman villains robbing a bank.

I’ve been saying this for a while, but Trump won because he quite literally speaks a (variant of the English) language that non-morons cannot actually pull off

Anne Applebaum on Viktor Orban: He took over the institutions one by one, using both the power of the state and money of oligarchs. He took over 90% of the media. He took over the judiciary. He's trying to create a false picture of the worldto get people to ignore the disaster he's created at home.

starting now i am going to start sharing the books i read. finished this volume this morning. it is terrific.

I’ve commented this before, but a not insignificant portion of the Bible is Jesus just absolutely clowning on the men who professed to believe in him, and then piss their pants the moment something went slightly wrong, while the women’s faith held fast

Mike Lawler: This is not an illegal military operation...for Tim Kaine or any other Democrat to say this is illegal... is hypocritical at best. They are gaslighting the American people. Kristen Welker: It's not just Democrats, it's Republicans too...

If the last thing Donald Trump ever said was "Praise be to Allah" on Easter Sunday, I feel like that would be pretty incontrovertible proof that Islam was the one true religion, honestly.

Not the point, but the Easter outfit Mrs. Obama is wearing is gorgeous and very spring-y.

Getting closer and closer to describing the complete nuclear annihilation of the planet as an anti-DEI initiative

Balint: "If President Biden or President Obama had said anything remotely like this, it would be nonstop coverage on every single channel and everyone on the other side of the aisle would be howling about it and demanding that they step down."

textbook sanewashing

How the NYT is reporting Trump's Easter message threatening war crimes and mocking God.

We should be clear that NYT sits at the top of America's failed institutions. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump just told Fox reporter Trey Yingst he’s “considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil” if Iran doesn’t make a deal “fast”—while claiming he expects to be able to get a deal with Iran as soon as…tomorrow. Here we go again…

This General is absolutely looking like the archetype of Marine General Officer. Lt. General Mahlock is the first black woman to be named to 1, 2, and 3 stars in the USMC. Currently Deputy Commander of CYBERCOM. She looks like she eats barbed wire for breakfast

Anyway, definitely should have gotten that Nobel Peace Prize 🙃

Embarrassment is what you feel when he sharts himself in front of other world leaders. This is a confession of willingness to commit war crimes with the means of a nation that would get other world leaders convicted at the ICC. Disgust, rage, and a desire for justice are the worthy emotions here.

#Trump droht besonders vulgär im #Irankrieg und preist Allah - um das zu Ostern.

This is fucking insane

No matter how you look at it this website is in decline. It should be growing and it’s shrinking, losing out to Threads and X, neither of which anyone here should want to use

Le Point: A summary of the bordello-like esthetics of Trump can be found in the interior decor of the White House: Trump takes a classical federalist interior and fills it with cheap polyurethane ornaments purchased from a manufacturer in Taiwan which have been coated in gold paint.

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

POLYMARKET: “.. we are investigating how this slipped through our internal safeguards." @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

genuinely don't understand what any Republican lawmaker or anyone in the cabinet or even in the WH has to gain from this guy anymore, beyond like potentially getting close enough to the inner circle to do some insider trading or something

Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived

This could escalate quite quickly into a major test for EU leaders.

"The harassment isn't coordinated" which is why certain accounts will try to provoke you and the instant you respond there's a dozen people screaming at you with screenshots from posts made weeks ago

The fact that American Liberal influencers invited Marxist influencers into the anti-MAGA coalition, and now the first thing those commies do with power, is not to go after MAGA, but turn around and try to purge the coalition of Liberals, was the single most predictable fucking thing ever.

Same energy

The vice chair of the democrats in my town is a lovely woman named Mrs Watson. She’s a god fearing, straight talking, absolute fireplug of a woman who has personally motivated me to keep knocking doors when I’m tired and my feet hurt. They carry the party on their backs (for no pay!)

I read the witness accounts of the Katyn survivor Josef Czapski. In it he describes how when the Polish officers were handed over to the NKVD, and communist Pole greeted them, telling them he was a fellow communist. An NKVD officer responded "Shut up. We've shot more important communists than you"

Blood on republicans hands

Meine Ostersonntagskolumne. Leider verstärkt ein Krieg in „einem fernen Land” auch die Chance eines neuen Krieges in Europa.

Very impressive rescue effort. Think that matches the first gulf war record for successful evasion by a downed member of air crew?

"In the end, Navy SEAL Team 6 commandos extracted the officer in a massive operation that involved hundreds of special operations troops and other military personnel." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

btw, Orban's children have moved to the United States since his campaign started going downhill. The governor of the Hungarian National Bank, as well as other Orban allies, also started to move their financial assets out of Hungary to the U.S and Dubai.

The Hungarian government claims explosives were found at the gas pipeline from Serbia to Hungary. Probably a Russian interference operation.

Putin and Orban coordinating on a desperate false flag operation that everyone knew was coming.

You have to love that Vucic (a man facing electoral obliteration) and Orban (a man facing electoral obliteration next week) can come together to invent a fake terrorist incident based on a conspiracy theory spread by Orban.
