Some of the ugliest Russian war crimes include abducting children and attempting to hide it by erasing their Ukrainian identity.
Russia is abducting Ukrainian children, changing their identities, and placing them with Russian families under the guise of “adoption.”

“Climate change” is unavailable for comment.
JUST IN: Sen. Ted Cruz, speaking at Federalist Society conference, says efforts to censor are uniformly from the left. Cruz: "It is not both sides. It is only one side saying: 'Silence my critics.'...It's only one side that is calling for silencing those they disagree with.'"

The 6 far-right extremist terrorists on the Supreme Court have now begun hearing arguments from criminal career bigot Kim Davis about ending same-sex marriage. She’s the scumbag known for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

How the fuck can a country allow "one man" to receive a $1 trillion dollar pay package, while at the exact same moment committing to starving 42 million citizens?
It's completely insane.

There’s a bill pushed by Republicans in the US congress that would deny me future federal funding for research because I’ve co-authored papers with scientists in China in the past 5 years. 🙄

This strikes at the fundamental issue of our time in the U.S. – the check and balance branches that should be limiting the authoritarian regime are not capable of doing the job.
The extra judicial killings will continue until Congress decides to do its job
The U.S. military killed at least three people in another strike on a boat in the Caribbean Sea, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on social media on Saturday. He said that the vessel was being used to smuggle drugs without providing evidence to support the claim.

Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?

I honestly think targeting SNAP was in Trumps plan after all and this just gave him an easy way to do it. A starving population is easier to control because when people are too busy trying to survive, they stop fighting back. That’s why corrupt governments cut food aid first.

Listen to what Zohran Mamdani has to say here about Donald Trump’s attack on NY AG Tish James..
When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.
New York has her back.
Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.
