This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

🔴 The UN Commission of Inquiry has formally ruled that Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.

⚡️ BREAKING: UN report recognizes Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure as war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Independent International Commission found Russian commanders ordered the attacks fully aware of the severe impact on civilians.

Per Telegraph, Putin and Trump admin are discussing the “need” for NATO withdrawal back to its 1997 borders as part of the “peace plan”. That means withdrawal of NATO forces from Poland, Baltics and Finland.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a vocal critic of U.S. President Donald Trump, was reelected Sunday. His opponent Flávio Bolsonaro refused to concede defeat and asked for the election results to be annulled due to a last-minute decision extended voting by two hours.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

He destroyed his country, maybe they want him to destroy the UN as well?

⚡️ The Trump administration has proposed former Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General, a decision backed by Russia and China, according to The Wall Street Journal. The US State Department estimates Orbán could secure at least eight votes in the UN Security Council.

18. Dehumanizing homeless people is a disability politics issue, as many unhoused people have disabilities.

As a man of faith, I pray every day. Faith is a thing there’s just too little of in Washington.

A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well. ​An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children. ​6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.

Met a voter who happens to be a Republican for Pearson! He refuses to participate in destroying our democracy. Trump-endorsed Brent Taylor supports expensive and illegal wars, driving up costs for all of us. We must put everyday people first, no matter what party.

🚨 BREAKING: A baby in a stroller and two women were killed after a Russian attack targeted a park in Kharkiv region. Fourteen people were injured, seven of them children.

Worth noting this, in light of Meta's temporary ban on the 'No Kings' Instagram account

Anyway, both Ukraine and Sudan were granted TPS for an “ongoing armed conflict.” By law, such TPS MUST be extended if the conflict is still ongoing. It’s not a discretionary decision. So if they DO terminate TPS post-midterms, it’s clearly illegal, but courts could do nothing.

So LIndsay Graham's sanctions bill on Russia passed 86 to 11 in the Senate. A veto proof majority. So Trump, who loves America and Democracy so much, wrote an "Executive Order" to get around that pesky Constitution. Yet I'm watching as we struggle to retake the House and Senate from a traitor. 🙄

The crowd absolutely erupts when Carney says the Pacific Link pipeline will reduce Canada's dependence on the U.S. Mark Carney: "Careful. They might think that's election interference. They're a little touchy down there. We're not. We're getting on with it."

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

🚨 BREAKING: A Russian ballistic missile hit a residential apartment building in Kyiv’s Desnyanskyi district, sparking a major fire, according to Mayor Vitalii Klychko. Presidential Advisor Dmytro Lytvyn confirmed there was no advance warning from international partners.

English translation.

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

This is the behavior of a dictator. All elected officials must full-throatedly condemn this lawless act of intimidation. I stand with @ilhanmn.bsky.social.

Polish PM Tusk: Anyone who, through betrayal, stupidity or for money, seeks to weaken Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression is acting directly against their own people, their country’s security and its sovereignty.

This is exactly why they are proposing public executions.

In India, the right-wing government of Narendra Modi is facing its biggest challenge yet.

The targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Just read it. Bessent wrote Warren a letter

10/10. No notes.

“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side

Morning Fellas Quote of the day

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

America, they are trying to desensitize you to violence. They want us to dehumanize one another so we become numb to their attacks on our liberty. They wish to normalize total state control thru visual terror. Attention is currency. Don’t invest it in evil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Gerry Pollet is backed by urbanists like @juliareedwa.bsky.social and @organizewithshaun.bsky.social. The best choice for urbanism, for housing, and for a progressive representative from the 46th is Pollet.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

🚨BREAKING: ICE vehicle RAMS through NYC protesters attempting to block it from leaving after ICE agents SHOT a man in NYC—the man’s young son was in the back seat. WE’RE LIVE ON SCENE ⬇️

Just today: - The Trump admin announced the first public execution since 1936. - Trump tried to incite a race war against Somalis. - Trump said anyone using the phrase AI is "THE ENEMY" - The NYT reported on a potential ICE plan to deport migrants on military boats and ferries.

BREAKING: The Pentagon says it will livestream the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.

This is incitement. Racist incitement.

Jesus Christ, I didn't think we'd actually get to the "public executions" stage of Trump's project to roll back the last 100 years of societal development.
