How Zelenskyy is able to stand there and listen to this Russian whore spew his Putin bullshit is extraordinary.

What a fucking embarrassment

"Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed" - JFC these amateurs

Amazing how the US has effectively lured citizens from other countries at the level of some nation-states. The list is just incredible, what a success story en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigra...

AI sucks - immigration data from radical anti-immigrant think tank CIS get presented as baseline

America Faced Domestic Fascists Before — and Then Buried That History | When Americans ignore or discount extremism, they miss how effectively such movements borrowed American idioms, such as patriotism, Christianity and law and order, to further hatred, violence and exclusion.

Trumpists are gutter trash.

Never not amazes me how out-of-sync I am with the average American voter "[In Dec 2024] The majority felt hopeful about what would come to pass in 2025." Trump had just been elected then

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

JD should really get off the couch more

I feel we should discuss why Vance does not work out more - he owes the American people push-ups and badly executed pull-ups like god intended - looks way too soft

Pennsylvania Joins Coalition of 19 States and D.C. in Lawsuit Over HHS Move That Could Curtail Youth Gender-Affirming Care | At issue is the HHS declaration that called treatments like puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgeries unsafe and ineffective for children and adolescents.

In any case, if you don't start your discussion of "trust" in the media by understanding the right's well-planned, well-funded, methodical effort to destroy that trust, you're a sucker playing right into their hands.

Do you understand this @carlomasala1.bsky.social @rikefranke.bsky.social? Does it really reflect the lack of concern these numbers would suggest? I find this shocking.

We strongly condemn the U.S. decision to impose travel restrictions on five European individuals, including former Commissioner Thierry Breton. Link to full statement: link.europa.eu/NtMX4K

Freedom of speech is the foundation of our strong and vibrant European democracy. We are proud of it. We will protect it. Because the @ec.europa.eu is the guardian of our values.

We’re going to need more opposition to the US in the coming months.

Only 8% of Germans think the Russian war against Ukraine is one of the country's central problems. Unbelievable.

Terror is not a byproduct of Trumpism; it is central to governing, which is to win over hold-outs via fear. One thing I did not expect here is that foreign actors who support Trump or seek to sow division may be joining this form of stochastic terrorism.

Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Critics say it was, in fact, Putin who derailed peace talks

Reminder that Bari Weiss held the 60 Minutes piece on migrant gulags with the suggestion that Stephen Miller (whose number she has) should comment. Maybe if 60 Minutes could just post this video alongside the story, it would meet Weiss's vaunted editorial standards.

Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation. It sends a message that “people impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said.
