❗️For the first time in NATO history, the 🇺🇦Ukrainian Navy led and implemented planning, coordination and control of the forces of the hypothetical enemy (OPFOR) during the REPMUS/Dynamic Messenger 25 exercises, which took place in Portugal.

Fixed MTG’s tweet for her! “Bad Bunny says America has 4 months to learn Spanish before his performance at the Super Bowl halftime. [¡Preparémonos para la fiesta, América!]”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Since he blocked comments, I’ll post my thoughts here: 1. Taylor is not the savior of the world. We already have someone filling that role. 2. These songs, as I noted simply by looking at the copyright, are from 2024. At least it is on the 7 lyrics videos I’ve managed to watch tonight. More ⬇️

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies. This is dangerous and could cause serious injury. The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke. They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”. Stay strong Portland.

Explosions are being heard in Zaporizhzhia and the surrounding region — the city is under attack by guided aerial bombs. Local channels report that four explosions have already been heard. Smoke is rising over the city.

Within 24 hours of the Kirk shooting, top Trump officials and administration lawyers were drafting legal memos, writing blueprints for possible executive actions and prioritizing which liberal organizations and strongholds of the left needed targeting. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social always has a way of putting into words exactly what most of us are thinking… youtube.com/shorts/MYc9H...

Massive attacks are ongoing in Kharkiv, Ukraine right now. Explosions are happening across the city. Russia is a terrorist state!

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

If this man is the ‘dangerous criminal’ that tRump, Miller, Noem, and others claim, then why did these illegally masked men, one in plain clothes, eventually give up due to pressure from the growing crowd, and run away? Kudos to those that stopped to help. 💖

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

This is fascism.

I guess the good thing about ridiculous and selfish people running the government is that they never seem to learn from their mistakes… Gift link to the article is 👇🏻 (Thanks, taber!)

Just blocked a follower—someone I was also following and had added to my Resistance list/feed—and another person I followed… why? Turns out they are pro-genocide. In the world I seek to belong, you’re anti-genocide, anti-war, and also anti-terrorist attacks/groups. You’re against hate, racism,… ⬇️

For your listening pleasure…

I used to work for Purdue—thanks for the complex PTSD!—but this is upsetting because it served low-income students that may not have made it to college w/o the program. Why was it terminated? It “included DEI training, culturally responsive teaching, and social emotional learning in STEM.” 🫠

Wow! Apple has caved, again, to the felon, tRump! This time, they are removing @iceblock.app—an app that allows you to anonymously report ICE sightings. It’s the only app I use as I’m protected from retribution and kidnapping by ICE. Just another reason to dump Apple products. 🤬

This is what happens when you put the guy that collects roadkill and has a [supposedly] dead brain worm floating around the empty space it created… $50M of our money wasted on a belief “that exposure to different kinds of environments… can influence the likelihood that a person will have autism.”

Unfortunately with my current finances, I'm gunna have to ask for help again. Job searching sucks & bills are getting tight so I'm asking if anyone has anything to spare to help allieviate the stress until I can get myself back stable, it would help alot! ko-fi.com/ososillyme

I cannot express enough how this is what has been happening for some time in Broadview. Federal agents assault, shoot chemical munitions at, and arrest protesters completely unprovoked. And state police are now helping border patrol to combat and arrest protesters. Great work everyone.

💕💸Any amount helps, thank you for keeping mutual aid alive on here.

Graveyard America, yard sale of corpses, healthcare gagging in a coffin, education nailed shut, free speech clawing the lid. Democracy in stripes, women’s rights with skulls locked in rigor. Stephen Miller, dead-eyed and soulless, breathes rot, sweats filth, and feeds on cruelty.

We seem to have a race for who can start WW3… tRump, Netanyahu, and Putin all seem in a rush to make it happen. Putin may beat out tRump in his anger, especially with moves like the one described below 👇🏻

Just discovered J Post. I could call this opinion article ‘interesting’… but, it’s really pro-Republican and pro-tRump propaganda. The website is annoying, but keep scrolling/reading until you get to the paragraph about the writer. You don’t want to miss the end… www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

According to neurotypicals, I have a habit of being “annoying” and “too much,” so I’d probably get sent BACK to the U.S. and tucked away in a cave on some mountain range with no way to communicate or travel (I’m disabled). I wonder if they’d let me take my cat + library… /s [Hi ICE! You suck!]

Honestly wondering if Cicero simply knew a member of the tRump family and predicted they would become so power hungry that they would jokingly enter politics and actually win… twice! He was a simple fool who quickly allowed others to rule in his stead in exchange for their adoration. Now? A TRAITOR!

From the linked article: “US President Donald Trump has given Hamas a firm deadline to accept a US peace plan for Gaza, agreed between himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.” Isn’t this the plan that will give FOTUS redevelopment rights to Gaza?! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump just turned the Caribbean into his personal war zone calling it an “armed conflict” with cartels. Is the orange 🍊 felon going to keep bombing fishing boats with innocent civilians to distract from Epstein? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #USDemocracy #Pinks apnews.com/article/trum...

Love that the AP shared the following facts: “The allegations of violence against Sheff G had already been made public when he appeared with Trump onstage in May 2024.” And: “Among those charged was Tegan Chambers” [aka: Sleepy Hallow] “who also appeared on stage with Trump and Sheff G…”

Can we please just stop the violence?! I don’t care what you do or do not believe, but as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—the church that had the mass shooting and fire in Michigan on Sunday—my heart and prayers are with the Jewish community in Manchester. As a note… ⬇️

Wow!

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

I don’t know if any of these allegations are true, but it’s honestly believable given the disgusting man he is. If he’s okay throwing ketchup on the walls of OUR White House, why would we expect him to be any different when visiting another country? youtu.be/35-Xr-E4OAo?...

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

I’m not sure what’s more embarrassing—that another university in Utah let this group onto their campus, that a former U.S. Congressman spoke, or that the current governor of Utah spoke in defense of Kirk and his hatred for anyone not ‘like’ him. ⬇️ youtu.be/zRlAjk3tRMA?...

🎯 @repdean.bsky.social is right, and @SpeakerJohnson knows it. What is it called when everyone in a group is too afraid to criticize the leader for something they know is objectively wrong?
