4 years ago Russia invaded Ukraine in the largest land war since WW2. It was supposed to be a 3 day special military operation. Yet Ukraine still stands and refuses to surrener. Even though I can’t help as much as I once did, I will still help however I can until the very end. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

STAND WITH UKRAINE 🇺🇦 February 24, 2026 marks four years of the russian full-scale war. It has been 4 years since the brutal full-scale invasion began. And 12 years since russia first attacked #Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine. Ukrainian are the best people I know. 💙💛

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

It turns out that "nobody" saw the Texas floods coming by design, this disaster has a culprit and their names are Donald Trump and Elon Musk. #3E #EndAutogenocide

“Nobody could have seen this coming.” In fact, it was entirely foreseeable. When governments undermine or defund the systems & experts responsible for monitoring environmental and weather conditions, it eliminates warnings and leaves people unnecessarily vulnerable to disaster.

every single member of the senate democratic caucus voted to confirm marco rubio as secretary of state. there was not a single dissenting vote.

Here's what we are reading today: Marco Rubio marked Russia Day by expressing U.S.' support for the Russian people and reaffirming the U.S.' "constructive engagement" with Russia to bring "peace between Russia and Ukraine." This is the 1st time the U.S. has marked Russia Day.

i like bluesky because people click on links and read my work and fewer people tell me to kill myself here. and i learn new stuff about how people have sex every day

Trying to recreate the Obama success is why Hillary and Kamala failed. Rather than do something, they just reused the Obama campaign even when it didn’t match their personalities. Why else would Kamala drag back that has-been David Plouffe?

its perfectly fine to break with obama, biden and clinton. they did their thing but theyre in the past. we especially need to be rid of the constellation of consultants and hangers-on that orbit them. people like carville and axelrod do not understand modern politics and they didnt make dems win.

once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague

Two of Musk’s most strident goons manually, one-by-one, killed lifesaving programs even those Rubio wants credit for trying to save, on Musk’s orders.

I will personally campaign for any Democrat who supports wealth tax and the deportation of pro-Trump South Africans and South Asians. Anything to punish the tech bros.

makes sense. what the administration wants more than anything is to completely pollute the information environment with as much nonsense and propaganda as they and their allies, foreign and domestic, can pump out

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

the idea of how many millions the dems wasted on that stupid senate race in kentucky and the dumb sphere stunt last year drives me up a wall. you know how many media ventures they could have provided seed funds for instead? jesus.

i mean honestly look at this shit from one of the most prominent media reporters in america. republicans want to abolish npr/pbs cause its one of the few journalistic outlets not tainted with cash to the same extent as the msm press. but in brian's pov its a "both sides" deal cause dems are pro-it.

Discussions about PBS/NPR funding are predictably polarized, with one side trying to protect the existing funding and the other side trying to strip it away. But what if we started from scratch? What IS the right amount of $$$? 👇

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Ryan Cooper's reporting on Trump and Musk's cruelty is unparalleled among journalists. Everyone must read and share everything he writes. Definitely deserves a Pulitzer Prize for his work.

Today, American consumers are being encouraged to abstain from purchasing any non-essential goods as part of a 24-hour buying blackout that aims to showcase the economic power of everyday people. The goal is to advocate for “economic resistance, government accountability, and corporate reform.”

time.comWhy Consumers Are Holding an 'Economic Blackout' TodayThe blackout arrives as consumers are growing weary of rising prices on goods and services.
