"Asked if it's fair to pressure Ukraine but not Russia, the US says it's unfair people are dying. As if it wasn't Russia's choice to kill them." Sickening. And outrageous.

Doug Wilson and his abusive cult in Moscow, Idaho are a clear and present danger and for once I’d like to see pundits taking these Christian supremacists at their word and writing about their current influence. They have been saying repeal 19A for YEARS.

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

This piece describes: - the *personalist* nature of RFK Jr’s control @ HHS & Prasad’s control @ the FDA, w/ govt decisions based on leaders’ personal preferences, - how that differs from agencies’ past reliance on career experts & actual science, & - how this type of corruption harms the public.

The mortgage delinquency rates for lower-income households are surging, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Center for Microeconomic Data But the Dow hit 50,000, right? 🤦🏻‍♂️ wapo.st/4tAq2f5

“Crime 101” Is an Enjoyably Moody Exercise in Michael Mann Lite - The New Yorker. Watched this last night. Really good movie. And this review is terrific @justincchang.bsky.social

Alexei Navalny was fatally poisoned by deadly “dart frog” toxin, European leaders say - NBC News- Putin kills people with impunity. Yet Macron wants to negotiate over Ukraine with him. Witkoff and Kushner suck up to him in Moscow. Putin is evil incarnate. You defeat him. You don’t negotiate.

My article just published in Kyiv Post: "Zelensky Should Kick the US Out of Peace Negotiations" Characteristically, in his important speech in Munich Rubio did not mention the key issues: Russia & Ukraine. Alas, the US is no ally. www.kyivpost.com/opinion/69987

Top Palantir and OpenAI executives are funding a new AI industry Super PAC, which has already amassed $100M to spend on the 2026 midterms. They want to stop anyone who supports guardrails on AI from being elected. We must not let them win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imtkNL4v2ks

Perfectly on brand. I’ll say it again, for the umpteenth time - the most powerful animating force in my former political party is white Christian nationalism. It’s scary, and it’s antithetical to our American principles of freedom, democracy, & pluralism.👇 www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

He was observing after Alex Pretti's killing. He says feds detained him at gunpoint, sampled his DNA, scanned his face, and cloned his phone.

aje.news/2yg1jx- -“Wild claims grossly misinterpreting Russia’s motives and intentions are an integral part of jingoistic populism, which has been fuelling this conflict for year”- just despicable rhetoric from @leonidragozin.bsky.social . Always blame the west- never Putin.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Dangerous climate volatility is kicking in. Despite what liar denier gaslighting Trump says. Western US gripped by extreme snow drought: ‘I’ve never seen a winter like this’ States brace for less water and fire risks… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The so-called "pro-life," "pro-family" party is perfectly fine with an 18-month-old child almost dying because of the deplorable conditions at this detention center. Hello? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/toddler-hospitalized-dilley-ice-detention-rcna257912

Holy shit.

The DHS is using administrative subpoenas to try to force tech companies to reveal the names of people who are critical of the trump regime. With tech CEOs already cozying up to trump, how long before even a warrant won't be needed?Free speech is on the chopping block. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

"Donald Trump's name is all over these files." Rep. Jamie Raskin reacts to seeing the unredacted Epstein files.

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

"Democrats have demanded a host of new restrictions on immigration enforcement operations. Many of these are desirable. None is nearly as important as simply depriving ICE and the Border Patrol of funds. The money matters most." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

RAW FOOTAGE: Minnesota State Troopers charge into anti-ICE protesters with multiple arrests after an unlawful assembly had been declared. One journalist says: "It was a free-for-all, I was grabbed twice, but ultimately let go after showing my Press badge." Make sure this gets seen! Share widely.

"[The Framers would] be appalled at what we're seeing today. That you're having a president who thinks he can run roughshod over Congress." I stopped by #Unfiltered this week to talk about the state of Democracy, and what's at stake. link to the entire conversation: youtu.be/_DLwKr7bif8?...

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

White Christian nationalism is the most powerful animating force in my former political party. It’s scary, it’s antithetical to America, and the threat that it represents should animate every single one of us.

For all those idiots who promote raw milk- it has consequences.

BREAKING: Democrat Taylor Rehmet flips GOP-held Texas state Senate seat in special election for district Trump handily won in 2024.

What is up with people in grocery stores? People just lingering in front of display aisles, standing there looking clueless, tying up the grocer aisle? Looking like they have no idea what they want or why they are even there. It’s so frustrating!! Anyone else noticing this?

Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalAction

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

Not all heroes wear capes- some wear wetsuits and fins. Doing the impossible- day after day after day. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

Hi all, I don't post here often. But this is from a woman that I consider a friend in Ukraine. She's a journalist who lives in Kyiv with her family & dog, Hans. I just want the world to see. Ive devoted the last 4 yrs to not letting the world forget her. I promised her that I will continue to do so

ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

ICE’s new policy directing agents to ignore the 4th Amendment is one of the most frightening things we’ve seen yet. And there’s no telling where it could end up. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Imagine the terror that this five-year-old must’ve felt when he was taken away from his home by a masked paramilitary. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In Ukraine, winter mornings begin in cold homes after Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure. Power comes and goes. And still, someone steps into the snow and starts dancing. Meanwhile, repair crews and Ukrainian soldiers work through sub-zero nights so the country can keep going. 💙💛

This is a massive overreach of power by the Trump administration. Due process isn't optional. It's a fundamental right.

Trump hails ‘framework’ of Greenland deal, reversing tariff threats - The Washington Post- in which WaPo provides little context how deranged the President’s speech was.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

(The Atlantic) This is the article that you need to read...about the future of what might or will happen with the US harassment and potential invasion of Greenland. Superb writing by Anne Applebaum. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Not only has the United States of America abandoned its moral role in confronting evil around the world, Donald Trump's derangement and depravity are swiftly making us the principal planetary force promoting evil.
