"Yesterday, in Anchorage, Alaska, Donald Trump wobbled down the red carpet like it was a flat red slalom course. His ankles swollen, suit jacket open, clapping his hands, waiting to receive the Russian war criminal with the enthusiasms he once reserved for teenage beauty pageants." Steve Schmidt

INCOMPETENT MAGA STAFF, GIFT FOR PUTIN Eight pages produced by U.S. staff were left in an Anchorage, AK, printer for an NPR reporter to discover reveal the names of several U.S. and Russian state leaders, as well as the revelation that Trump apparently planned to give Putin a ceremonial gift.

so basically we’ve got two options here: 1. Iran does not meaningfully respond and the stupidest assholes alive take a victory lap and think they can do this again with impunity 2. Iran does respond and the same stupid assholes escalate into god knows what great, wonderful, no notes

Hard for the West to moralise about Russian attacking Ukraine outside international law when Israel and its puppet state the USA are flouting every principle with their attack on Iran. This will not end well.

Dee reposted

Trump has just increased the global threat level to an incredible degree... Now any country can execute a preemptive attack on any facility in any other country under the spurious grounds of self-defence, and point to the example of the USA striking Iran as the justification for their own action.

What I want is a world where we can all coexist and you can scream until you're blue in the face that bombing people is the way to get there and I will die never believing you.

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

Fuck any marine, any enlisted person, that would march on their own countrymen. Fuck every cop, but especially any cop that would fire on their own people, their own free press, to suppress the expression of free speech. And especially fuck ICE for just existing, let alone everything else.

We need to fundamentally appreciate those on the streets of LA are there because ICE + the fucking military took family members, neighbors + co-workers - this isn't an abstraction. What would you do if it happened to you? How would you feel about someone crying more over a Waymo than your child?

Rioters breaking into the Capitol to try to lynch the VP: "great patriots [in a] peaceful lovefest" Citizens being shot with rubber bullets cos they protested ICE arrests: "insurrectionist, violent foreign terrorists [leading a] form of rebellion" Place your bets on Martial Law being declared

So many people around the world are being so very brave, who shouldn't have to be. Palestinians, the flotilla volunteers, La neighbourhoods, reporters, the little girl who ICE agents assaulted as they kidnapped her mother and left the girl alone on the street in Massachusetts.

Trump’s grand “security” vow masks a brutal clash in LA, where LAPD fires rubber bullets at protesters and hits reporter Lauren Tomasi. Aristocrats sneer as journalists bleed for truth near the ICE office. #3E

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

I can't even imagine being jailed for donating $51 to a cause I believe in. It's equal parts terrifying and comical.

#Russia & the US swapped prisoners in Abu Dhabi. Russia freed Ksenia Karelina, a US-Russian citizen who was jailed for 12 years for treason after donating $51 to support #Ukraine. The US released Arthur Petrov, a German-Russian citizen arrested in 2023 for allegedly exporting sensitive electronics.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Tonight Russia attacked Kyiv with so many drones! We heard a swarm of them right outside our windows. One was getting faster as if it was closer to the target or shot down. so close. I got my 2022 nervous tremor back. Russia sees only weakness in the new American administration tactics.

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

I had an excellent call with President von der Leyen about the road ahead for Canada-E.U. trade. Canada and Europe are strong, reliable partners. In a shifting global economy, that matters more than ever. We’re ready to secure new transatlantic business opportunities together.

Hungary's Russian-backed Orban regime facing massive protests in Budapest today. Crowds demanding Orban step down to face justice after looting the country into position of 3rd poorest country in Europe.

Vive la France. The French had a very solid resistance against the fascists during WW2 as well. Non oubliez jamais.

Activists, as part of a campaign by StopElon.eu, are handing out “boycott Tesla” flyers to customers outside Tesla stores in Paris. The leaflet claims Elon Musk uses X (formerly Twitter) to promote anti-EU parties, and urges people not to buy Teslas so as not to support his efforts.
