We should get serious about sanctions. Russian missiles that kill Ukrainian civilians contain parts made in the West. And this repeated mass murder of civilians by Moscow should bring total boycotts on Russian gas and oil. And the Ukrainians should get everything they need to defend themselves
16 people were killed and 49 injured after russia’s strike on Ternopil. Missiles and drones hit 2 residential buildings and damaged an industrial facility. Rescue workers are still clearing the rubble. u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

You can read the emails yourself:
Trump is in the files.
He "knew about the girls."
He spent time with the victims.
He was involved in the coverup.
He was "the dog that hasn't barked."
The government can no longer be complicit in this coverup. Release the files.

Hard and fast rule of legitimate policing:
With the sole exception of the undercover infiltration of criminal activity, if as an officer you undertake duties that cause you to hide your identity from the public then what you are doing is corrupt and immoral. Also, you're an asshole.

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.
The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.
The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

Many of our current leaders are fascists. But they don’t control us yet and we need to make sure they never do.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.
It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.
