And this, friends, is exactly why we need DEI initiatives in all our educational institutions

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

Donald Trump is guilty of horrific war crimes that have cost way too many lives. It’s time for some transparency and some congressional oversight of whatever the fuck Trump has been up to, and exactly what it’s costing you. #VoteBlueIn7Days

The Republican Party surrounding themselves with pedophiles, rapists, and their supporters is nothing short of a bizarre turn for the Moral Majority folks.

Brazil, thank you for winning 👍

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

If Brazil falls to the right wing today, the Trump capture of South America will be complete. The US, Israel and Russia anti-democratic forces will have greater room to concentrate operations on Mexico and Canada. Brazil’s outcome will carry global consequences for democracy.

Blaming Trump, alone misses the point. He’s entirely dependent on the Republican enablers who shield him and make excuses every step of the way. It’s infuriating that they're willing to gamble with their own children's and grandchildren's futures just to appease a Putin-loyal administration.

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.

US journalist in Kyiv faces White House online attacks while under fire from Putin’s missiles.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Russia has hit Kyiv, Ukraine, with at least 6 ballistic missiles within the last 30 minutes, targeting 3 million civilians and infrastructure, after meeting with Trump's lapdog Witkoff, who praised Putin as a humanitarian and saluted him on behalf of the rogue United States.

This is what Russian “humanitarianism” looks like in Ukraine. Russian troops throw explosives into civilian homes. Not bases. Not command posts. Homes. Yesterday, Steve Witkoff called Putin a “humanitarian.” Show him this. Support link is in the first comment.
