Itโ€™s good that Elon Musk has backed down in the face of consequences. But he must still be held to account for what he is: a purveyor of child pornography.

Russia's daily strikes on peaceful Ukrainian cities are pure terror. These strikes have no military objectives whatsoever. Killing children on a playground is a war crime and terrorism on the part of Russia; it cannot be seen in any other way. Putin is an international criminal and a terroristโคต๏ธ

Zelenskyy is my hero. A true anti-fascist. A man with more bravery and dignity in his other finger then most of his detractors will encounter in their lifetime

Ok. Once and for all. Trump is anti Ukraine, anti Democracy, anti Europe and, above all, pro Putin. There can be no more doubtโ€”itโ€™s just a disaster itโ€™s taken so long for people to understand it.

3 years since the barbaric invasion of #Ukraine by the terrorist state Russia 3 yrs of unbelievable bravery & heroism from the Ukrainian warriors on the frontline 3 yrs I've been in awe of the Ukrainian people Lets make sure UA gets what it needs to win #SlavaUkraini from the UK, your friend always

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

Vital now that Europe steps up support for democratic Ukraine, as fascist Russia can still be beaten. Ukraine has the will to win, and Europe has the economic and military power to help them do it.

What Iโ€™ve understood from military experts who follow the battlefield situation closely is that itโ€™s currently actually starting to go better for Ukraine and less well for Russia. So the timing seems key - Trump has stepped in before Russia ends up in a worse negotiating position.

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

the richest man in the world has decided that your kids don't deserve special education programs

The irony of the world's richest man pulling the rug from life-saving funding for food and medicine to the world's poorest is beyond belief. Not to mention the dismantling of the soft power built up by the US through these programs over multiple decades. Both evil and foolish.

For a quick sugar high to โ€œown the libs,โ€ the attempts to shutter USAID would do long term damage that couldnโ€™t be reversed for a generation. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-case-f...

Lol, there was outrage from the Trump supporting UK politicians when our Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, got a few free suits from his pal who owned Asos. You just know those same people won't give a toss about this.

It's been over 6 months since Ukraine captured part of fascist Russia's territory. Russia has been unable to dislodge the Ukrainian occupying force, even with the help of North Korean special forces (who got mauled). Russia is weak, and Ukraine can win the war - if Kyiv gets enough support.

After six months of combat in the Kursk salient, the Ukrainians launched another attack in the southeastern direction of Sudzha. The Ukrainians seemingly breached the first Russian defences, and an armored column managed to advance up to 5-7 kilometers deep towards Ulanok. 1/

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)
