🤯 WOW: Lithuanian basketball rivals unite to chant support for Ukraine. Fans of Žalgiris and Rytas stunned the arena, pausing their feud to chant Ukrainian slogans in a massive show of solidarity.

It’s not even so much about “sane” vs. “insane” anymore, as it so often was circa 2020. The fundamental split today is between the *decent* and the *indecent.* It is monstrous to desire, excuse, sanitize, whitewash avoidable killing even of one’s perceived foes.

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

Marco Rubio’s state department is a clown show. The man is presiding over an organization scorned by its allies and ridiculed by its adversaries as American stature internationally marches ever lower. What a humiliation.

YES @carolecadwalla.bsky.social ! These digital feudalism cathedrals are built on lies and disdain for the rest of us - but they are made of air and grease - and the bubbles that enrich them with our money cannot - must not - hold... #ReleasetheEpsteinfiles broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-great-...

Trump would hate it if you shared this photo from his speech at the University of Alabama showing the place half empty.

Fans of rival Lithuanian teams Rytas and Zalgiris chanted “Glory to Ukraine” in a show of unity.

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

Sanewashing aside (there aren't enough tariffs to pay for the tax cuts!), there's something that feels inevitable about this, like it was only a matter of time before there was an administration decided that providing global goods wasn't worth it and wanted to alter the deal

Michelle Goldberg. Gift link. I am not, not, NOT an investment person, just someone who sporadically reads what they say. But I don't think most of them have come to terms with the extent of the devastation to come either. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIDAtyB...

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

That’s right. 🇺🇦

Help Wanted: Leader of the Free World. R.I.P. The American Century. Date of death: February 28, 2025. Some thoughts from me on a remarkable (and by that I mean nauseating, disastrous, mind-boggling and infuriating) couple of days. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Timothy Snyder - hits the nail on the head. It makes no sense.

The GDP of the richest 7 NATO-aligned countries not counting the US are all greater than the GDP of Russia. Meanwhile the US administration insists on torching its NATO allies in favour of Russia. The art of the deal.

Starlink, Space X, Tesla and X are both economic and political vehicles created not just to enrich but empower their owner. He is an ignorant, racist, rogue, narcissist who supports America's enemies and an anti-democratic, white supremacist agenda. Supporting those companies in any way at all...
