ake a good look at Hegsseth's tie! White touches blue and the blue then touches red! Compare it to the pattern on ties sold as Russian flag ties. There are no stars, which are almost always on American flag. Yeah, that's a Russian flag tie! Scumbag collaborator! #secdef #hegseth #ukraine

Heading east, next stop Montana! There are over 20 No Kings events across the length of the state. People in Montana don’t want a king either! A few examples of those registered include Eureka, Hamilton, Gardiner and Glendive. Of course the bigger cities like Butte, Bozeman, Missoula are all in!

#HandsOff #50501 Philadelphia!

#HandsOff Philly

Heading across the Ben Franklin bridge for today’s #HandsOff protest, in Philadelphia. Rain be damned!

There's no reason to beat around the bush on this: Trump's Ukraine plan is literally just to make Ukraine an American colony. He's trying to divide up the country with Russia like Germany did with Poland.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

Time to #boycottstarbucks

Current American foreign policy is about draining power from the US and its allies, thereby creating atmospherics in which Donald Trump feels good and Elon Musk converts lost state capacity into personal profit. The weakness, in other words, is the point. snyder.substack.com/p/affirmativ...

Trump may be a shameful betrayer, but some of us aren’t! I took this in January in Kyiv, while unloading medical supplies, during the last @pickup4ukraine.bsky.social transport. Yes, those are air raid sirens going off in the background. Some of us stand by our friends! #trump #ukraine #betrayal

🇺🇦 Why accept #Russia’s ultimatums now when we rejected them in the toughest times? After 3 years of war, we’ve shattered their army, crushed the Black Sea Fleet, hit their oil industry & control #Kursk. So why is the U.S. negotiating with Moscow without #Ukraine & the EU? #Trump #Putin #Zelenskyy

AMEN!!!

Just cancelled my @washingtonpost.com subscription. First refusing to endorse in the election. Now spiking the Musk ad, and not running a SINGLE article about the Presidents Day protests! Looks like a once great paper has become a controlled opposition rag!

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

What to do when EW fails 😁

This seems important

OTD in 2022 some people who make ice cream informed us the best way to stop yourself being attacked is not to threaten to defend yourself. A take that has aged like one of the overpriced, pseudo-ethical ice creams left in the sun for a week.

If you voted Republican, and you care about your country, please act rather than rationalize. Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, money, country, and future, tell your elected officials that you wanted something else. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

British sendoff Ukrainian fighters....

🧵Someone from the /r/fednews subreddit put together a list of all the Elon folks working for DOGE. They are: Amanda Scales Brian Bjelde Riccardo Biasini Anthony Armstrong Steve Davis Baris Akis Thomas Shedd Edward Coristine Russell Vought Michael Peters Josh Gruenbaum Russell “Rusty” McGranahan

Purging the FBI and letting a goose stepping ketamine addict play with the governments money computer is so far beyond Rufus. It hasn’t even been a fortnight and they’ve already gone full AEthelred Unraed. Next stop. King John.

3- n between, great pizza, beer and conversation with inspiring people. We even managed a little bit of sightseeing. Now for a last jam packed day, before catching the train to Krakow.

2- While @pickup4ukraine.bsky.social colleagues were down in Dnipro, handing more vehicles over to UAF defenders, we were picking up the newly camouflaged van and delivering two more to the workshop for casevac conversion.

1- Since we got into Kyiv on Saturday, on the 14th @pickup4ukraine.bsky.social transport, its been petal to the metal. Getting medical supplies unloaded and handing vehicles over to UAF defenders here in Kyiv.

So you think Russia is winning in Ukraine? The Bright bright red is what Russia took in 2024. Almost nothing, and it cost them hundreds of thousands dead. Slava Ukrainii

In 2025, the West must not rush to force #Ukraine into an unjust peace with a brutal regime that began an unnecessary war, fought it poorly, used its military to rape, loot, torture and murder its way across a neighbour, and is unlikely to abide by any ceasefire agreement. 1/7 🧵
