Iowa Farmers paid $151,081,106 more for diesel for spring planting this year. And this is before diesel hit record highs this fall, just in time for harvest. The Iran war is devastating Iowa farmers. Zach Nunn voted 5x for this.

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

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.

Brazil. Absolutely amazing. Let's do it here next.

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Bad night for Trump and the global ethno nationalist right. Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of villains.

Congrats to Lula in Brazil! Fuck you, fascists!

I bow my head to you Serbia. Congrats

I feel like it should be a much bigger story that in early 2025 the MAGA regime requested a cybersecurity agency to secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it and directed them to not alert the voting machine company if it uncovered flaws. That’s called setting up for rigging an election.

Stand with Zelensky and against Putin. Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE. Stand with No Kings and against Meta. Stand with the people and against the oligarchs. Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.

Zelenskyy simply and accurately explains why giving up the Donbas won’t end the war: "Putin says he wants the Donbas, but why, at the start of the full-scale invasion, was he trying to occupy Kyiv? Is that the east of our country? Is that the Donbas? No, that’s the capital.

Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

LAPD cops working for ICE contractors off duty — while the department fights to keep its moonlighting records hidden. That is the accusation now being leveled directly at LAPD leadership after a judge ordered the records turned over.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Families are still trying to recover from the trauma of Trump's aggression on our streets. Children are trying to forget the images of armed, masked agents in their neighborhoods and childcare centers. The cruelty and depravity are real and ongoing.

Trump and Vance to Zelenskyy 18 months ago: You are losing this war. You have no cards. Meanwhile, while Ukraine is kicking a much larger country’s ass who invaded it, Trump and Vance are losing to Iran.

BREAKING: An ICE agent has been arrested in the shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant in Minnesota after being charged with assault and lying to investigators.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Last week, Danbury area residents showed up in huge numbers to draw the line on the brutal ICE tactics being used there - including traumatizing kids at school bus stops. It's action like this that saves our democracy.

These religious leaders were arrested for protesting ICE. Looks like fascism to me. This was in Vermont

Voting Rights Groups Are Preparing to Confront ICE at the Polls Trusted figures such as firefighters and clergy will protect Black, Latino, and Asian precincts that could be targets.

The shooting at a Tucson gay bar last night that left 3 men dead has been confirmed as a hate crime by Mayor Romero. The killer was found with addresses of “multiple LGBTQ+ friendly venues”. To the friends and families of the victims and to the LGBTQ+ community, I send my deepest sympathy.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

www.aclusocal.org/news/governm... In newly disclosed court documents, we’ve exposed what community members and advocates on the ground have known all along: the Trump administration has relied on race and ethnicity to decide whom to stop during its immigration enforcement operations. #Pinks
