If the President can successfully order the IRS to hand over billions of dollars to his personal bank account, the Constitution is dead and no longer operative. I'm not kidding. We've crossed a kind of Rubicon and the social contract is null and void.

The free market regulating itself. Good for America, I guess?

Phew, now that Trump is on China’s case, China can finally develop into a modern country! 💪

Good! 👍

If I had plans to increase attacks on airports in russia, right in time for the summer vacation season, I would propose an airport ceasefire. Because russia would obviously decline it, perhaps even mocking me in the process. And then no one could say I didn’t offer a truce before the campaign.

Pretty sure many US politicians simply assume they’ll be able to say “But guys, that wasn’t _us_, it was _them_!” after Trump. But that won’t work, because it isn’t true. And everyone knows.

Yeah but just look how happy and excited everyone is to be there. Top staffing! 👌

From yesterday, Montenegro 🇲🇪 vs. Serbia 🇷🇸: - Citizens of 🇲🇪 live better than those in 🇷🇸 - Unlike 🇷🇸, 🇲🇪 has democratic changes of government - 🇲🇪 sanctions media outlets spreading ethnic hatred - 🇲🇪 has closed 14 EU accession chapters vs. 🇷🇸 with only 2 Link: youtu.be/k1mbwaBtEMs Insert 👇

The systematic grooming and indoctrination of children to turn them into soldiers, as the russians do, is one of the surest indicators that their cause is against any human values and aligns with inhuman ideologies such as those of the Islamic republic of Iran, the Taliban, ISIS, and Hamas.

In my opinion, yesterday a turning point in the war took place. Perhaps we still do not fully grasp the significance of what happened. For the first time, Putin publicly showed his weakness and inability to independently protect his capital, his parade, and himself from our strikes.

God be like “But I already gave you maximum retardation what more do you—oooh.”

Has the hospital ship made it to Greenland yet?

All of America misy be quite proud of this. Perhaps not school-bombing proud, but, you know, up there. 👍

Zelensky making it clear that if the prisoner exchange doesn't take place, it'll show russia and the US both went back on their word. Ukraine's position is honest and strong.

Ran out of instructions, did he? Bibi be scrambling to get the next batch ready on such short notice, I bet.

Auf ORF 3 laufen "Dokus", die eigentlich Image-Filme für Unternehmen und Institutionen sind. Eine Recherche mit @diedunkelkammer.bsky.social zeigt, dass Filme von ÖBB, WKÖ oder sogar unbekannten Dritten finanziert wurden, ohne dass dies ausgewiesen wurde.

"The U.S. administration has suggested that the troop withdrawal was meant to punish German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for criticizing Washington’s Iran policy. But in fact it punishes the pro-American German middle class" www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

The Rutte-Palantir Coup "In just twelve months, Palantir has gone from being a US supplier into a key pillar of European command and intelligence. Nato is rapidly adopting a solution that concentrates it elsewhere.The Netherlands appears among allies with indirect dependency through subcontracting"

So yesterday, the president's allies unveiled a 22-foot-tall golden statue of him that they prayed around, and then the president confused Iran and Iraq, seemed clueless about his FDA commissioner getting fired, and called a reporter a bitch? Cool. Cool cool cool.

I will pay an editorial cartoonist to create this for The Handbasket. email/msg on signal if interested.

ICYMI, I did: “the discovery of the camera …provides the first concrete evidence of spying on key military supply and logistics routes in Germany. Security agencies and the Bundeswehr have long been warning that Russia is preparing for a possible military escalation against NATO.”

Each year russia sets up a propaganda event across the river from Estonia 🇪🇪 for victory parade day. Videos, music, military equipment. But can you spot the difference from this year and 2023? Nobody blody showed up! Collapse of russian imperialism even among vatniks!

"Despite reportedly kidnapping and marrying an underage woman—which is also illegal across the Russian Federation—and operating as a propagandist for a strongman who oppresses his people and purges the republic LGBTQ+ population, the UFC has no qualms with featuring Chimaev atop their fight cards."

"Parade" 🥴🥴🥴

In 🇩🇪 you can buy AAC bricks at any hardware store, and because they are so lightweight you can easily transport them yourself. They are great for bathroom remodeling as you can tile directly onto them and they will never take water damage. It's a triumph of material science🧪 youtu.be/mMoH2xP-BhQ?...

Good morning ☕️

The U.S. had to step in and pressure Ukraine so that little Ruasia can hold its pathetic parade. Great power Russia cannot secure even the absolute center of its fascist empire. How embarrassing. How weak.

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Nobody will respect the US until it gets rid of its current infantile, mendacious, ignorant, incompetent POTUS. What are you going to do about it, fellow Americans?

As venues are struggling to sell tickets, I bet they appreciate the "hope no one gets blown up in the parking lot" message.

The Pentagon warns European allies not to expect urgently needed weapons deliveries (Patriots, Himars etc.) - while rushing ANOTHER 17 billion $ package to the Middle East. This tells you all you need to know about the state of NATO. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/u...

“Artur Sushkov, a 36-year-old third secretary at the 🇷🇺 Russian Embassy in Budapest, was forced to leave the country along with his spouse on May 4, 2026. Sushkov was identified by 🇭🇺 Hungarian authorities as an undercover officer of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).”

The whole AI in education insanity will make this Canvas ransomware fiasco look like no big deal. In a couple of years when campuses rely on AI agents for everything, what could go wrong? For-profit educational “tools” are just bad accidents waiting to happen.

After sacrificing hundreds of thousands of lives, wrecking its economy, and turning itself into China’s junior partner, russia is now losing ground in Ukraine. Imperial delusions in a chart form @thestudyofwar.bsky.social

Excellent. 👌

Ukraine has not made any threats against fascist Russia's Victory Day parade in Moscow in May 9. These threats of terrorism just go to show how fearful the Putin regime has now become as the war begins to turn in Ukraine's favor.

Armenia‘s shift away from Russia has reached levels which were unthinkable a few years ago. Together with the severely strained relations with Azerbaijan it is obvious that Russia‘s influence in the Caucasus has reached a low point unseen in the last 250 years.

It’s very ironic, but Georgians lost their freedoms so quickly precisely because it’s unfathomable: most people both at home and abroad were sure Georgia’s path could not be reversed, and missed all the red flags. The illusion of security can subvert many more societies.
