OTD in 1944 Red Army completed operation to 'liberate' #Estonia, #Lithuania & #Latvia from Nazis. Who had 'liberated' them from us.
Who had 'liberated' them from themselves.

OTD in 2015 Turkey shot down a Russian jet in their airspace after we kept violating their border.

Our response was to sanction Turkish tomatoes. So in fact they also shot down our red lines.

I’m worried about Richard, the supposed Reform candidate in some council by election or other in Lincolnshire.
Look at the faraway look in his eyes.
The sadness.
The furrowed brow.
The dull listlessness…😔

Is he being held hostage against his will by Andrea Jenkyns?
😱

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.

At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.

Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

If the media wants to hyperventilate over the polling that puts Farage in No.10, perhaps they could put the same energy into scrutinising his every link to Russia, his dodgy donors, his US/Trump/far right connections, his brazen racism, his councils’ incompetence and his barrelling Brexit shitshow.

Still not explained why he gave the same themed pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament as Nathan Gill.

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.

Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

The answer is to try to get more people to recognise all other human beings as full persons who matter and to treat them as well and with as much human dignity as we can.

Mahmood would rather soothe the racists than do the “hard work of confronting the economic failure… and cowardice that has enabled the rise of the far right.”

As if making life even worse for immigrants will make our country happier and better off.
It won’t.

Today, for the first time in years, Facebook showed me a #dating site ad. It was a badly targeted ad, because I'm not into anime, and I'm happily married. I don't need a Sailor Mistress.

Now I'm going to tell a story about advertising, #DnD, and I why I haven't seen a dating ad in years.

Twig reading Charlie Kirk quotes to Republican Members of Congress in their own offices.

Her energy and courage are absolutely amazing. No aggression, just pure assertion. She's boss.

‘Arabic numerals’
Seriously? How many times!?

For heaven's sake, Europe has been using them since the 10th century.

(And it feels like populist charlatans have been using them to stir up xenophobia ever since.)

My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court.

These cases — and others like them —
will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

We are killing Ukrainian kids again right now.

Russia attacked Ukraine every single day Trump was POTUS the 1st time

Russia has attacked Ukraine every single time Trump has been POTUS 2nd time.

And he's helped us kill each time.
