Frida Kahlo born 6th July 1907: "They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality."

Ukraine's frontline trajectory is improving, but winter terror looms. A lack of air defense leaves civilians exposed. Europe must urgently order interceptors, SAMP/T batteries, generators, and spare parts for Ukraine’s energy infra. We also need to fund Ukraine's own air defense programs

Maria Avdeeva @maria_avdv 22 killed.The scariest part is that Russian strikes are becoming routine.At night you count the explosions,in the morning you see the devastation,in a day the names & faces of the killed appear. Still someone to debate whether we’re “winning enough” to deserve more help?

As the NATO summit convenes, Putin's attacks on Ukraine are designed to highlight the prospect that Trump will abandon Europe exactly the way he has abandoned Ukraine—not resupplying their Patriot stocks and leaving them fully vulnerable to his attacks.

So Does Dump have Giannis mobile number so Kier can “ask” to get the red card for Quandah “suspended” Isn’t that how it works with FIFA these days?

Russia’s WWII memory cult is built on lies. Stalin backed Hitler’s early war machine before being betrayed in 1941. Now, the Kremlin claims to ”denazify” Ukraine while deploying its own neo-nazi units like Rusich. Modern Russia has become the inheritor of the fascism it claims to despise

Physicist & chemist Marie Curie was the: + First woman to win a Nobel Prize + First person & only woman to win twice + Only person to ever win a Nobel Prize in 2 different sciences: Physics (1903) & Chemistry (1911) Marie Skłodowska Curie died #OTD in 1934. #WomenInSTEM

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today is Constitution Day of Ukraine! Exactly 30 years ago, the Fundamental Law of our state was adopted, which is empowered by Ukrainians. Our people, who write the pages of our history, and it is they who fill the pages of our Constitution – with life.

On this day in 1967, Janis Joplin performed at the Summer Solstice celebration.

Trump has made himself the laughing stock of the world by his persistent lying. He has also concentrated all power in his own hands, while refuting all competence. As a result, the US has become unable to pursue international negotiations.

"War has instead done what it usually does: empowered the powerful, rallied the faithful, and allowed an apparatus of repression to present its imperatives in terms of national security" Read Laura Secor on the abandonment of the Iranian people www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

"russ_and_stacie_sullivan: Good morning, friends! Last night at WaterFire in #Providence, 🔥a bunch of friends from different groups got together for a Signs of Fascism awareness event Signs of #Fascism is an event that highlights historical warning signs of #authoritarianism..." Threads 2-3 👇

If Russia and China spend this much time attacking @kajakallas.bsky.social, it says more about her effectiveness than her failures. The EU can reform the High Representative's mandate, but Kallas's clarity, resolve, and understanding of authoritarian tactics are exactly what Europe needs

Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire is a warning sign of extreme wealth concentration. No unelected individual should wield such power over politics, media, and public life. A healthy democracy cannot coexist with a trillionaire class

Rubio congratulated Russians on Russia Day 💩 He is wishing a “more prosperous future for Russian people” at the very moment when they are slaughtering thousands of Ukrainians under occupation, across the front line, and behind it with missiles and drones. What a disgrace!

Blinded by the Flag - Banksy, 2026

Remember when they claimed Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit?

Just a few feet to your left and you’ll be consumed by Ukrainian hellfire.

Next week, EU Defence Ministers will discuss how to further ramp up our support for Ukraine and increase the EU’s own defence readiness. (3/3)

Unearthed footage shows Elias Irizarry joining a mob to breach the US Capitol. Now, he’s been rewarded with a top counterterrorism job at the Pentagon. You literally cannot make this up. Apparently, invading a government building is great resume building for national security now. 🙄

A bunch of US Far Right influencers, including Candace Owens, are currently in Russia at Putin’s expense. They’re all saying what a wonderful Christian country Russia is and how it should be a friend and ally.

It is deeply alarming that European countries tolerate Russian propaganda operations on their soil. Bolloré promoting RT’s Xenia Fedorova in France highlights the depth of the problem. Hostile state interference must be systematically removed. What are regulators doing?

Donald Trump is trading stocks in companies his government affects through policy decisions. He’s holding the stocks while pulling the levers that determine their value. It’s corruption, plain and simple.

Day 549 of daily, uninterrupted protests in Georgia. 🇬🇪

" #Italy condemns rising executions in #Iran. ALL NATIONS MUST COME TOGETHER. Where We Go One, We Go ALL!!!" #StopExecutionsInIran #NoDeathPenalty

A very large rally for Georgia's Independence Day, organized by the Opposition Alliance. Georgians have been protesting daily in 8+ cities against state capture by the pro-Russian Georgian Dream regime. This is day 545.

Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine last night shows the Kremlin’s brutality and disregard for both human life and peace negotiations. Terror against civilians is not strength. It's despair. We stand firmly with Ukraine, with further support on the way to reinforce its air defence systems.

Thoughts about the massive Russian bombing of Ukraine last night: 1. It was truly awful. 2. Europe can no longer just send regrets. it must establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine. 3. It looks a desperate russian move - a last blow. Too expensive & no military purpose.

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

Russia hit a dead-end on the battlefield, so it terrorizes Ukraine with deliberate strikes on city centres. These are abhorrent acts of terror meant to kill as many civilians as possible. (1/2)

🇬🇪🇪🇺 We won’t give up! 1. New, free and fair elections! 2. Free political prisoners! #GeorgiaProtests 5️⃣4️⃣2️⃣th day

It's full on rewriting of history. Soon, they will push for changes to textbooks like right-wingers did circa 2010, seeking to replace the civil rights movement with Phyllis Schlafly and Newt Gingrich.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime. Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/farewell-and-thank-you-stephen-colbert

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

Kill Trump's Authoritarian Ideas, Bernie's Correct.......

This is utterly batshit crazy. FFS it's way past the time of some 25th amendment. He belongs in some mental institution babbling away every day. Absolutely he is projecting. His every accusation is a confession. Thank you for your attention to this matter, LOL!!

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

Gerhard Schröder is one of Europe’s biggest traitors. He works for Russia and therefore can’t serve as a mediator

We cannot just complain about the rise of populists in Europe. We have to address the root causes. Our economic and social policies are failing everyday people. Until we fix our economies, we are going to keep losing elections to dangerous and traitorous extremists

"The system can persist for as long as Mr Putin remains in power. But his every move to preserve and expand it accelerates decay. His instinctive response may be to intensify repression. He may start another war. But these actions would only make things worse" www.economist.com/by-invitatio...

Mariupol was a city of half a million people that was systematically erased. The Uppsala Conflict Data Program high estimate sits at 88k deaths in under three months. We must acknowledge that this single Russian operation likely claimed more lives than the whole war in Gaza

Day 525 of nonstop protests in Georgia.
