Elon denies he betrayed the Ukrainians in the midst of a Russian assault in order to help Putin. But WSJ has the evidence: he did. Can we allow a drug addict from South Africa to run US military assets in the middle of a war? How did this happen? www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

This is a sitting member of Congress who called for immigrants to be executed by throwing them to their deaths out of helicopters. Mike Collins personally amplified neo-Nazi propaganda online. It's disqualifying for a member of Congress and for a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

for a corrective to dan bessner's inane claim that "liberalism" was behind pete hegseth's push for a livestreamed firing squad, we have gareth watkins, with a deep and unnerving dive into the fascist ideology of death and spectacle--and especially how this developed *after* world war two

[Q]: You called Ukraine a disgrace for attacking Russia. You want Zelensky out. Have you forgotten that President Putin just started the war? [President Trump]: Well, I know the details, okay? And at some point I'll release the details. But I don't care anything except for one.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

The news just since I left work: -A planned livestream of an execution by firing squad -Trump basically trying to incite a pogrom against Somalis Nothing mysterious or complicated about what's happening.

The #CostOfTrumpsCorruption has no bottom. The American people are paying for it every flipping day. We are tired and suffering and this administration cares only about the wealthy from the top down.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

I’m so f*cking sick of the corruption in this administration. Trump’s ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, pressured a MAGA donor to pay off $100,000 in credit card debt while offering access to Trump officials. And she wanted it done without a paper trail. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

The Ukrainian town of Maryinka was located in the Donetsk region. Before the arrival of russian troops, it was a cozy, green, and peaceful town with a population of about 10,000 people. This is what it means to neighbor russia...

I really feel like it should be bigger news that fibreglass is in IV saline bags in the US. This isn’t a situation where you might get a little sick. Fibreglass going directly into your veins will kill you. IV saline is used for almost every medical procedure. This is unconscionable:

Between October 2025 and July 2026, the U.S. accepted 10,258 refugees. All but three (3!) were white South Africans. Regardless of your opinion of South Africa's laws and government, I don't know how you could call this anything other than an explicitly racist policy.

I think a reason the younger generations were so quick to memeify Charlie Kirk was that we were taught there was nothing we could do to prevent our entire class from being killed by a single gunman. Utterly desensitizing & made the outcry over 1 evil guy getting merc’d look ridiculous by comparison

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

🧵Macalester College Buddhist studies professor Erik Davis and Home Health Care nurse Natasha Rakotz have been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism charges for their roles in protests against ICE in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area. The charges are ludicrous.

Garcia: The pool has been drained twice in just three months for repairs. It was built so incompetently that they're trying to put an innocent man in jail to cover up their shoddy work, with contracts going to Donald Trump's friends and donors. What a disgrace and completely shameful.

"A.i." is a tool pushed by racist, fascist billionaires for racist, fascist purposes.

The Breach@breachmedia.ca

Ontario jails are using an AI tool that claims to predict prisoners’ behaviour. And it’s disproportionately placing Black prisoners in maximum security. An investigation by @desmondcole.bsky.social reveals the province knew the tool would discriminate against Black people—and used it anyway.

AGAIN: the #1 predictor of a mass shooter is violence against women. Cops perpetrate VAW at higher % (though exact # unknown ofc) than the gen population. At some point our culture must take seriously the fact that this is a real red flag. It requires hating women less, though.

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

Trump must be impeached for undermining and subverting our free and fair elections. And when he sends ICE agents to the polls, then we must turn civic action into civil disobedience and take to the streets. Sit in. Protest. Withhold our labor. Everything must be on the table.

I think it is important to remind ourselves we actually have very little control over what happens in the world at any given time. The control we do have—however limited—is in our response to what is happening. Most of our existence is internal. We live and die in our own minds.

This is Joan Sebastian Guerrero, the 26-year-old Colombian father and husband murdered by ICE fascists in broad daylight in front of his 3-year-old daughter. He was NOT the target of the ICE warrant. He was documented. He did everything right. ICE murdered him anyway. And yet… 1/2

For those keeping track, this is 110 times the amount of money from foreign sources that House Republicans claimed went to the “Biden family” (most of that actually went to non family business partners, none to Joe Biden).

Who knows if there will be a final agreement. But if there is, two things will be true at the same time: a) It's essentially surrender to Iran. b) We should be glad about it, because every day this insane, illegal war continues, we get weaker. 1/ Let me explain.

Hi! I'm Bret Rhett Chet, here to tell you why you should buy and hodl SpaceX stonk. For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1

Well the point is that there are very few things that can threaten the life and status of somebody that rich, and one of those things is the national security apparatus of a nation that perceives itself to be under threat.

Some policies might be reversed with a vote. Some executive orders can be undone with a signature. But hollowed-out agencies, interrupted research, damaged schools, frightened public servants, untreated illness, and normalized corruption leaves scars that last.
