Search and rescue operations are still ongoing in Ternopil, Ukraine at the site of the Russian strike that destroyed an apartment building. 26 people killed, including 3 children. 93 people were injured, among them 18 children. 22 others remain missing.

"This war can be brought to an end, but the basic logic remains what it always was: the Ukrainians have to be supported so that Russia no longer aspires to destroy their country. That is the foundation. Negotiations will work when that has been achieved."

‘Star Trek’ actor recalls boyhood detention during WWII in camp for Japanese-Americans

In Ternopil, the clearing of the rubble is still ongoing. 22 people are considered missing. As of now, there are 26 dead, including three children. The damn pilots killed more people with one missile than the serial killer Chikatilo. We hope the names of the pilots, planners, and equipers are

So on I went.

As expected Ukrainian President Zelenskyy didn’t even consider the Russian-Trump „proposal“, refusing to even talk to Witkoff. It is basically the same ridiculous wishlist Putin has unsuccessfully put forward again and again.

Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. (1/2)

NEW: Larry Summers will immediately leave his role as an instructor at Harvard while the University investigates his ties to child sex trafficker Epstein, per Harvard Crimson. Let the consequences begin!!!!

Americans don’t want dirty water. They don't want polluters to run roughshod over their environment. That’s why we have federal laws to protect our water—but Trump and Zeldin are turning the Clean Water Act into a polluter's paradise. Clean water is a right, not an inconvenience.

The Russian opposition and the depoliticised majority of the Russian population share the same colonising conception of the Kremlin. They view the Kremlin not as an institution Russia creates, but as a foreign power - an external authority that happens to rule them.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrJDscF4/ This is the kind of candidate we need more of. Bernard is a good guy and a really decent candidate. But he isn’t the kind of candidate that orthodox party goes for (he doesn’t come from money and doesn’t spend all his time fundraising). But he is sincere & authentic.

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work. snyder.substack.com/p/how-to-neg...

Alex Padilla lays it plain.

Last night Russia sent about five hundred drones and missiles to kill Ukrainians. Most were intercepted but those that got through hit a post office, a store, a power plant, and multiple residences. 19 people were killed in Ternopil. (1/2)

When half the internet doesn't work because of a failure of a single vendor, that vendor is a utility, in the same way that power, water, and, back in the day, the phone companies, are/were utilities. 3/5

Pope Leo has once again condemned Trump's stringent anti-immigration policies, describing the administration's treatment of foreigners living in the US as “extremely disrespectful”. Speaking from his residence in Castel Gandolfo, outside Rome, the pontiff urged people in the US “to look for ways

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace! #Justice4TheEPSTEIN_SurvivorsNOW ✊

In a democracy, the press – reporters – are the representatives of We, the People. That’s why our nation’s Founders protected the press in the First Amendment. When Trump attacks reporters, calling them “Piggy“ and threatening their networks, he is really attacking you and me.

Richardson spent “limited time in daily operations meetings and shrank away from his role,” according to The Washington Post.

Every news channel in America: airs the Epstein survivors’ entire press conference. Fox News: “TRUMP DECLARES HIS LOVE FOR MCDONALDS, FAST FOOD” Hey Fox News—Nice job siding with the Epstein Class & protecting pedophiles.

“You are our president. Please start acting like it. Show some class. Show some real leadership. Show that you actually care about the people other than yourself. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment.”

Hundreds of US troops are helping in the Philippines after back-to-back typhoons

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

Trump announced popular weight loss treatments would be offered directly on a new “TrumpRx.gov” website at lower prices.

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working. And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place. You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

The Pentagon's missions and personnel are increasingly vulnerable to "malicious actors" who can disrupt operations by aggregating digital information from data brokers, websites and other sources, the Government Accountability Office concluded in a new report. (from @wyattwolson.bsky.social)
