Druzhkivka used to be home to over 50 thousand people. They built their lives here, built homes, had dreams. Now, it is in ruins, another town in Donbas destroyed by Russia.

The 4 million extra votes Lulu got will probably be the buffer that keeps Bolsonaro from being able to get the race overturned. US voters can take a lesson from this!

My brain cannot process this level of corruption.
She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee."
And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money.

What Sikorski says is true and most Americans don't believe it because they're received a steady drip feed of rubbish about Ukraine for years from US corporate media. bsky.app/profile/noth...
Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar.
“The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”
WELKER: You urged Congress to pass this law in Sen. Graham's memory. Do you agree with President Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russia?
LANKFORD: He is choosing the American people first is what he's doing

“Explain to me why the risk is low, somebody. Because to me, when I look at this virus spreading, it’s spreading very efficiently. Like, there’s no force field around China. It’s not going to stop there.”

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.
Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come.
Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.
❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.
Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.
😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his WhatsApp channel…” 1/
⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says.
Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, musk, are doing everything to help terrorist Russia murder Ukrainians.
Siding with terrorists, restricting Starlink on top of funding genocide. This is beyond outrageous

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
