NATO failed to retaliate for Russia's drone attack on Poland on September 9th. NATO failed to shoot down three Russian interceptor aircraft that violated Estonian airspace on September 19th. This policy of cowardice is a huge strategic blunder that escalates Russia's war.

1/ Russia appears to be running out of surface-to-air missiles, with air defence crews having to be reassigned to the infantry because they have nothing to fire. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/anto...

It really does not get more explicit than Trump telling top active-duty military generals that they will need to participate in occupations of large cities run by his political opponents as part of his "war from within"

Today I spoke with a neighbor (a reliable Democratic voter) about Prop 50. She was dead set against it, but I was able to change her mind. She didn't understand that Republicans are stealing Democratic Congressional seats across the country. Talk to your friends & tell them to vote YES on Prop50!

Appeasing Trump doesn’t work

79. American citizen.

So exhausting..

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

The Right lead the anti-establishment left around by the nose.

Um...

❗️Without China, Putin's Russia is nothing, Zelensky at UN Security Council meeting "If China really wanted this war to end, it would force Moscow to stop this invasion. Without China, Putin's Russia is nothing, but China remains silent and aloof, instead of acting for peace."

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Fuck ICE. Cowardly bastards.

NEW: SCOTUS majority says Trump can ignore precedent if the majority doesn't like it. A 90-year-old precedent meant nothing to the majority allowing Trump to fire an FTC commissioner during litigation. This is no way to run a court, let alone a country. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Donald is trying to get the AG to find a reason to prosecute his opponents, but is fine with Tom Homan taking a bribe. Got it. Most corrupt president in history

"As Ellison Buys Out TikTok, US Moves Toward One-Party Media" fair.org/home/as-elli...

According to our most recent 'State of Social Media in Canada 2025' report (n= 1500), right/right-leaning users on TikTok outnumber left/left-leaning users (39% vs. 33% ). Imagine what it will be like one year after a takeover by Trump's allies. socialmedialab.ca/2025/05/05/n...

Russia is a brutal colonial empire, and indoctrination starts in childhood.

RIP to a champion of women's rights 😇

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

Unbelievable…

Trump isn’t embarrassed that his narrative for firing Cook is in tatters, so, as usual, we must be embarrassed for him. That's not the mention Letitia James, the New York AG, who last year won a $355 million civil fraud case against the president. trib.al/Ort8BCN

The New York Times has an opportunity, and an obligation, to rise to its role and put a stop to the insidious legal idea that Trump can go to war with the media. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

🧵 Trump can’t pronounce “Azerbaijan,” confuses Armenia with Albania, and then brags about ending a war that never even happened. If Biden had done this, the headlines would scream unfit for office for weeks. But with Trump? The corporate media shrugs, just another “gaffe. @atrupar.com

The dictatorship is working. The largest corporations are under the thumb of this totalitarian regime. Meanwhile, over 300,000 people have died since Trump ended USAID, but Kimmel may be the last straw for the country. Well, whatever it takes.

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Not to mention Matthew Dowd, Terry Moran and Jim Acosta. And anyone at the CDC who dared to care about science. If you still think freedom of speech exists in American, you’re wrong. If you still don’t understand you’re living under fascism… please wake up.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Himes: ABC took Jimmy Kimmel off the air because Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, didn’t like some things Kimmel said.. I’m talking to you now because I’m just getting so damn sick of people who claim to be for free speech but turn out to only support free speech for people they agree with.

ABBY PHILLIP TO SCOTT JENNINGS: “Hold on… There are plenty of people over on (Fox) who lied about the election and denigrate half of 🇺🇸 every night, and they are allowed to do it… is the government supposed to be punishing people for speech they don’t like?”
