THIS.... is what Putin plans for Europe. It is vile and barbaric what Ukrainians are enduring from the hands of Putin.

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 question is: Why did Trump derail peace talks?

Kudos to NBC New York for saying it without equivocation: "The US is to blame for the world falling behind in the fight against climate change."

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

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. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

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...

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

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.”

We most especially do not have any idea why Trump made an about face in his support for Ukraine this week and announced that he was relaxing sanctions that had been passed in the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/trump-kowt...

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.

alanfarago.bsky.social reposted

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.

⚡️ '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

A CNN investigation reveals Russia likely provided crucial satellite information about U.S. bases, giving Tehran a major advantage in the war. And not a word from Senile Satan.

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.
