The prisoners of war come from all corners of the world: Kenya, Nepal, Tajikistan. They say they were deceived by Russia into joining a war they did not want to fight.

Tax and regulate the rich or else we're vulnerable to their childhood traumas. Literally Orson Welles' Citizen Kane warned us of this.
Musk didn't take over Twitter, because he liked how it empowered activists, journalists. He wanted to turn it into a fascist disinformation machine. DOGE is the same project. Ruining the lives of people he hates was the point. Musk is a racist trust fund kid seeking revenge for the end of apartheid

Illegal and shameful and just how police behave in authoritarian regimes. And also wildly unpopular and not the country Americans want.
"After federal immigration officers in Charlotte saw a man taking photos of them, they chased him nearly 2 miles down a main road and made plans to “smash” into him, video played in court Thursday showed. They broke his window, charged him with a federal felony and accused him of assaulting them."

Absolutely right. And let’s be honest about the timing: every time accountability starts closing in on Trump: Epstein files, witnesses, reporting…suddenly there’s a brand-new “crisis” he manufactures to dominate the headlines. People’s lives aren’t a distraction tool.
We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.
He’s going to kill people for oil.

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

Trump may lie 75% of the time, but he wasn’t lying when he said he would “Take America Back.”

It's obvious: the Dept of Ed said nursing is not a "professional career." Why? To exclude graduate nursing programs from federal loans, in the midst of a nursing shortage, in a profession held mostly by women and minorities. Catching on yet??

As a former healthcare worker turned educator, I’ve spent my entire life working in fields staffed by a female majority.
The removal of professional designations and limitations on education loans in these fields is yet another attack on US women by this abysmal administration.

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.
People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.
It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
