For almost a year, Donald Trump's personal police force has rampaged across America. His administration has driven extremism and cruelty while discarding basic safeguards and accountability. Now, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen is dead.

Considering that I was largely correct about how the war in Ukraine would develop and where Europe would eventually find itself, I will allow myself to share a few thoughts on how I see things unfolding for us in the future:

🇦🇺🇳🇿🇺🇦 Australia and New Zealand are ready to invest about $65 million to buy American weapons for Ukraine, - Militarnyi Australia - $50 million, New Zealand - $15 million. The funds could be combined with funds from another country or a combination of European countries.

Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

The #NoKings protests were good, but need to attract wider support, focus on core issue of Trump’s threat to US democracy, get elites behind it, and be sustained over the long haul, to build momentum and achieve success. This is Americans fight alone, but we all have a stake in its success.

Donald Trump says he wants our military to use cities like Los Angeles and Portland as a "training ground." Absolutely not. This un-American, illegal use of the military to terrorize in our communities must end now.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

🔥🚫 The Moscow Times: About 70% of the downtime at oil refineries, according to the statistics agency Siala, was the result of attacks by Ukrainian armed forces drones: by the end of September, they had disabled about a quarter of Russian oil refining, or about 236,000 tons per day.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Struggling to keep track of - or make sense of - Ukrainian attacks against Russian oil refineries? Let me try to help: Firstly, see this 'Bingo card' made by @KHoholenko on Twitter. Note that the effect of individual drone strikes differ. A 'hit' refinery is not necessarily a 'destroyed' one. 1/6

Let’s recognize the good work that good legislators are trying to do.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.gov

We’re fighting back against Trump & Hegseth’s Orwellian censorship crackdowns. My legislation with @houlahan.house.gov restores banned books to schools for children of our servicemembers, protecting students’ right to read, think and read.

🇦🇺🤝🇺🇦 The Australian government has decided to lower the price ceiling for Russian oil from $60 to $47.60 per barrel. Australia has imposed sanctions against 95 vessels of Russian "shadow fleet". In total, more than 150 such vessels are already under Australian restrictions.

Tonight, countless calories will be burned powering the brains of analysts and political commentators, and millions of keystrokes spent explaining what happened in Alaska. Yet sometimes, a simple diagram explains it better than a PhD thesis: Photo credit: @vatniksoup.bsky.social

"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."

Alaska stands with Ukraine. Residents of Alaska are planning protests in response to the Trump-Putin summit. The demonstrations will be held under the slogan “Alaska with Ukraine” and will be aimed against the presence of the Russian president in the state.

And how does one know that he/she is being stopped by ICE officers and not gangsters if they wear masks and don’t show ID? Unidentified men in masks disappearing people should be left to cartels, or the secret police in dictatorships. Again, it’s about instilling fear & impunity.

In May 1944, Stalin deported 238500 Crimean Tatars to Central Asia. Forced into cattle cars, 30000 died en route. By 1947, nearly half were gone. They returned decades later, but after Russia’s 2014 invasion, repression returned. The Sürgünlik must never be forgotten. Art: Rustem Eminov
