Trump is probably jealous of Putin’s collection of failed dictators and wants to start his own.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

WE WON!!!! FUCK YOU, FASCISTS!!!!!

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

We won not only against Bolsonaro, but against the full force of the USian's Big Techs, Meta, CIA, Trump, the Brazilian right-wing elites, the billionaires' press and more.

“The communications backbone for an entire country’s military has gone down and nobody knows who is responsible” Yeah we’re gonna need to send people to prison and start nationalizing things.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

it’s just great marketing

Time to burn more Russian refineries.

Soo, Ed Sheeran dropped Macklemore from his tour after being pressured by Israel-supporting billionaire Robert Kraft. Let’s check who this Kraft fellow is… …oh yeah, that tracks.

Smoothbrains in shambles. What Platner’s defeat means:

Elon Musk’s demolition of USAID, and the resulting suffering and death, “is going to be a defining part of his legacy, and I do wonder if that’s why he’s scrambling so hard to rewrite that history now," @jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social told me: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“After it ended, the Belgian team’s social media account had a message to the U.S. on Twitter: “Overturn this.” Perfect. #WellPlayed #Belgium

Emboldened by his recent pathetic failure in Iran, Trump is now ready to resume his efforts to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Ukraine.

🇬🇧 Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis: We now have a limited window of opportunity. Ukraine’s forces are fighting with incredible determination and momentum. They are counting on us to help keep them going. We cannot and will not let them down. Thank you, and Slava Ukraini!

🇬🇧 Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis: United Kingdom will provide 150,000 drones, more than 350 air defence missiles and radars, all of which will be delivered by the end of the year as part of £752 million package, funded by a sale of seized Russian assets through ERA loan program.

Moscow's oil infrastructure going viral, maybe time for the Ukrainian post office to issue some stamps.

🔥🛸Spectacular explosion of the fuel storage tanks at the Moscow Oil Refinery during this morning's attack.

Russians try to shoot down an incoming Ukrainian drone near Moscow oil refinery, first with small arms fire and then with a MANPADS. Unclear if successful, and another drone is seen incoming shortly after. The locals appear to be enjoying the show.

JD Vance getting the blame for a treaty Trump signed to end a war Trump started is so funny. In a "worst person you know hit in crotch on live TV after declaring himself 'iron junk' and daring anyone to try it" kind of way.

ahahahaha suck it Vance, there's your legacy right there. Tarred by your failure of a boss to distract attention one last time before his cataracts burst

Signing what amounts to a complete surrender in Versailles is certainly a choice.

Holy shit hahahaha

More trouble for Tommy Robinson. He’s been working with Russia propagandists to incite violence in the UK well before fuelling pogroms in Belfast last week, from his well heeled perched in Moscow with agents like Malofeev BBC report t.co/xTQuLCVNDa

Newsom spent the last year working to prove he's an across-the-aisle guy who can work with — and befriend — even fascists. This is what it got him. This is why you don't associate with them in any capacity whatsoever.

'We are clamping down on the harm caused by social media. 'Read all about it on the Nazi pogrom deepfake abuse website'

Israel is again working overtime to make sure there will be no peace between the US and Iran. And by extension, working overtime to make sure that the energy crisis across the world continues and worsens.

My latest is out. youtu.be/cwivVonr4hY

Palantir loses legal challenge against Swiss investigative magazine ft.trib.al/TS7SOJp

The last three months summarized in one CNN Chyron.

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

The Far Right riot in Belfast last night was nothing less than “a race-based pogrom”, Belfast MP and leader of the SDLP Claire Hanna said. The mob hunted down non-whites and set fire to their homes. Carl Whyte, a local councillor, called it “a hard Far Right element”.

Humiliation for Trump. As expected, Netanyahu ignored his pleas not to attack Iran. Israel struck Iran several times overnight. Iranian missiles are now en route to Israel.

Scott Pelley is leaving, but not before he drops a big stack of receipts on what happened at 60 minutes. It's worse than you could have imagined, and bless this man for fighting as hard as he could and then tearing down the blackout curtains so we could see what's happening inside.

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

🔥 Magyar: KRONSHTADT (St. Petersburg), June 3. Birds of the 1st OC SBS hunted down and set fire to the corvette "Boykiy", a carrier of guided missile weapons.

🧵 I decided to take a look at how the chemical weapon denialists were responding to the latest news out of Syria about chemical weapons, and this reply from Aaron Mate says a lot about the credibility of the denialists positions.

Gabbard's story in 15 minutes: She told everyone in 2019 that Trump lied when he promised to keep us out of wars. Then in 2024 she endorsed him anyway, claiming he would keep us out of wars. And as he got us into more wars, she did nothing. She's a complete sellout. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA4O...

Erich Vad lag in allen wesentlichen Einschätzungen zur Ukraine völlig falsch, und Roderich Kiesewetter legt hier absolut richtig den Finger in die Wunde. Und zwar so sehr, dass Vad durchdreht.

The European Union actually don't need to build an emotional support taskforce of comfort animal emissaries to placate the leader of a nation spending 40% of its budget on a war and still badly losing it. Have some dignity for heaven's sake.

2/ The Trump administration's complete neglect of soft power meant that when it turned around to NATO for help getting out of its self-created quagmire, not even the UK turned up. Meanwhile Zelenskyy charmed, memed and right-side-of-historied billions in aid that kept Ukraine in the fight.

1/ We got 50,000 articles about how weak and impotent soft power has proven in the 21st century. Meanwhile, the "1st army in the world" can't bend Iran to its will and the (self-proclaimed) "2nd army in the world" is over a thousand days into its 3 day special military operation.

NEW: We’ve identified the man who runs the far-right troll account on X “HowlingMutant,” whose jokes about rape and the Holocaust have earned him nearly 200,000 followers, which include Vice President JD Vance. His name is Alexander Norden, from Rockaway Park in New York City.
