“U.S. proposes recognizing Crimea as Russian as peace talks ramp up…..” NO FUCKING WAY! Crimea is Ukraine.

Reality check Governor Newson is reading the room. The paparazzi on Bernie is why we lose elections.

First an insult. Now tariffs. Trump has made it a tough month for Lesotho. Lesotho 🇱🇸 is 1/3 sovereign enclaves on the planet — nations entirely surrounded by other nations. That and a long-standing friendship with the 🇺🇸 have made it an unlikely target for 🇺🇸 aggression.

Ted Cruz warns of midterm ‘bloodbath’ if Trump tariffs cause a recession 3-2-1 - go ….. Republicans start blaming Democrats for the tariffs…… 🤦‍♀️

Just found out the owner of The Atlantic is a woman and now it makes sense why they are not afraid to stand up to trump!

President says ‘there are methods’ for seeking third term in White House ☝🏻if this is true - bring back President Obama!!!! 🇺🇸

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

For Europeans, Signal chat gives unfiltered view of Trump team’s disdain “In the amazing story of the Signal group coordinating Yemen air strikes, Vice President JD Vance once again comes out as driven by deep anti-European resentment,” former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt posted

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

Putin’s one and only route to victory is through Trump’s head.

Autocrats roll back rights and rule of law — and cite Trump’s example Orban noted Biden’s ambassador to 🇭🇺 David Pressman, a fierce Orban critic directly challenged the democratic backsliding — and made a point of participating in Budapest Pride, an event w/ 35K people to 🇭🇺 capital, to protect it.

Amid ceasefire talks, Russian strike kills family in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine Never never trust Russia…..

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul. If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think. And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast. #NAACP #BlackSky

Ukraine’s army escapes from Kursk by the skin of its teeth economist.com/europe/2025/... from The Economist

Just throwing out some possibilities. 1) Blue states declare a state of emergency 2) Enact the title 2 of the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 3) Restrict moneys transferred out of state specifically targeting transfers to the IRS 4) Redirect those transfers to a state escrow account. 5) Sue me

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding. inews.co.uk/news/world/m...

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Today I wasn’t Zelensky gutting out the fight for dignity. The fight for safety and sovereignty. No pity parties. 🇺🇸

Wow. This one is powerful

This 👀👇🏻😵‍💫🤯😤🥲

Sen. Mark Kelly former NASA astronaut and Navy pilot who flew combat missions during Operation Desert Storm, visited 🇺🇦 mtg w/ the 🇺🇦 military, nurses + others, posted “…we can’t give up on the 🇺🇦 people.” In reply, Musk wrote: “You are a traitor.” #FuckMusk www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Our allies are already hesitant about sharing intelligence with us. Does anyone actually think this is a good thing, that this makes us more safe? Americans supposedly voted for egg prices? We got worse egg prices and worse everything else while we’re at it.

Stop normalizing annexation of sovereign countries. 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇹🇼🇺🇦🇵🇦 …

The empathy struggle when cuts hit WA's Trump country - the reddest part of Washington State. The 4th is famously the most government-dependent part of the state. It’s basically a company town, where the company is Uncle Sam. My empathy is zero. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Trump has backed 🇺🇦 into a corner by pausing 🇺🇸 weapons shipments + intelligence.. The main immediate impact will be felt from the cutoff of intelligence, which will constrain 🇺🇦 ability to accurately target long-range strikes to knock out 🇷🇺 troops and equipment before they reach the battlefield.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/h... Dangerous pathogens unsecured @ labs across Africa. Halted inspections for mpox, Ebola etc. Trump’s pause of aid has hobbled programs that prevent/snuff out outbreaks around the world - leaving people everywhere vulnerable to viruses and bacteria.

WA Ukrainians scramble, leave U.S., as legal status may end www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... More than 30,000 Ukrainians have arrived in Wa since 2022, drawn by the large community from their country already here. Among the newcomers - doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, tradespeople. 🇺🇦

President Trump has ordered a pause to intelligence sharing with Ukraine, said Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe, a move that deprives Kyiv of a key tool in fighting Russian forces

Yes- he even agrees that he should be impeached!!!!!

Washington now ‘largely aligns’ with Moscow’s vision, Kremlin says. Washington Post headline. “The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state television on Sunday. “This largely aligns with our vision.”

Uncertainty over Trump’s plans for U.S. troops in Europe fuels anxiety Many NATO allies left a meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last month believing Washington could pull thousands of troops from Europe in the coming years, officials said. #standwithNATO

The televised clash between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky left many in Ukraine aghast. Yet, in a way, this confrontation was inevitable. “By refusing to bend, Zelensky was the honor of Europe. Now, it is upon us Europeans to decide what we want to be. And whether we want to be,” 🇫🇷 PM

That’s because autocrats always want to kill science and universities. It’s the Orban playbook. It’s Humboldt under the Nazis and then under East German rule. It’s Lysenkoism. @dahlialithwick.bsky.social :

science, and universities. The attacks on NIH — the multiple funding freezes, comms and travel bans, federal register freezes, halting student recruitment, firing new and also senior employees — these aren’t misunderstandings. Trump and Musk want to kill American science. 2/

“Today’s meeting confirmed that the US is now aligned with Russia and against Ukraine, Europe, and most of the planet. I felt physically sick watching the president yell at a brave ally…” @radiofreetom.bsky.social The US is marching to authoritarianism and THAT is why they’re attacking #NIH … 1/

I stand with Zelensky!!! Shame on Trump!!! #shameonTrump

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/w... “There’s an overwhelming feeling in Canada of betrayal,” Mr. Fukazawa said. “There is no country closer to us than the United States.” I’m so ashamed of the USA. I love and respect Canada!🇨🇦

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

1/3. It should be astonishing, though it’s not, that the American negotiators want to begin from the premise that Russia was right and that Ukraine is not sovereign. Accepting the lies of the aggressor isn’t just unethical, it’s also unstrategic.
