every single thing Trump has done since coming down that escalator has been to help Putin but he just did a few head fakes to throw people off the scent

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.

Russia cannot win on the battlefield, so it keeps brutally striking Ukrainian cities. In just 48 hours, Russia launched almost 200 missiles and drones at Odesa and the Odesa region.

Ireland’s Aughinish Alumina refinery knowingly continues to export alumina to Russia. This aluminum is used in missiles, drones, and military aircraft. 🧵 1/7 ⬇️

Would be cool if media outlets would do their job and start reporting on the Russian mass slaughter of Ukrainians over the last few days, with them randomly throwing missiles and drones at our towns and cities onto busy streets, in broad daylight, to maximize casualties with zero military objectives

OTD in 2025 we "protected Christian values from the satanic west" by double tapping an Easter church service in Sumy with cluster munitions, killing more than 30 people.

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

The key to democracy is showing up in large numbers

Ukrainians living in the occupied territories of Kherson are being targeted and controlled with landmines and drones by the Russian occupation forces. Zarina Zabrisky spoke with civilians who have managed to escape the hell that is living in the occupied territories. @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social

1. This is what America looks like with a President who is both a sociopath AND losing his mind. 2. It’s a good time to remind every member of the U.S. military they swore an oath to the Constitution, not an individual, and they have a duty/they are legally obligated to disobey illegal orders.

The U.S. just lifted sanctions on Russian cargo ships and multiple high-profile narcotics figures. Dozens of names were removed from the Specially Designated Nationals list—including vessels tied to major Russian leasing operations and individuals linked to Mexican and Colombian drug networks.

What an awful day it was. The kind of day one can’t ever get used to. Still, there’s nothing that can break our spirits completely. And your support always lifts them 💙💛 Even when we don’t hear from you, we know you’re there standing with us🇺🇦

68 missiles, 430 drones — in 1 night. Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv oblasts were hit. People were killed and wounded. Civilian and energy infrastructure — damaged. All because of terrorist russia. Help stop this; u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

OTD in 1938 the Austrian Anschluss. A dictator sent his army over the border & later had illegal referendum with rigged result that violated numerous treaties. The West expressed only “concern” which turned out not to be enough to prevent war…. Imagine that happening today.

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine. That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Not only did the US, per its own ‘intelligence,’ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE. www.reutersconnect.com/item/the-pri...

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Over the past week, Russia has attacked our country thousands of times – the enemy used nearly 1,750 attack drones, 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 39 missiles against our people.

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

Trump cut off supplies of Sidewinder missiles for Ukraine’s F-16s, which limited their ability to prevent Russian strikes on Ukraine’s cities during the dead of winter when Putin ramped up attacks. And yet, when we need help with interceptor drones for Iran, Ukraine offered them without hesitation.

Today, on the 31st anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum with its useless security assurances, we are facing a repeat of history as EU leaders warn of the risk of a peace deal without strong US security guarantees. Strength is the only true guarantor of peace for the EU.

I tell Trump my peace terms, Trump tells Witkoff what they are and then Witkoff tells me Trump's terms that I told him then I say they aren't enough so we both blame Ukraine for me not accepting my own terms and I keep attacking them. Rinse. Repeat.

OTD in 1991 Ukrainians, including those in Crimea, voted overwhelmingly for independence from USSR. I don't like that vote result, so I am changing the voters and having new votes.

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate. Extract from my press remarks following today’s informal Foreign Affairs Council ↓

Russia rolls out a surrender deal for Ukraine => Trump insists Ukraine must sign => An enormous joint diplomatic effort by Europe + Ukraine + some Americans is needed to transform the deal into something acceptable => Russia refuses to sign. Rinse and repeat.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Two photos of today haunt me: a civilian lying dead beside his car in the Donetsk region, and an elderly woman in Kherson next to her goats. Both killed — hunted — by russian drones. Both murders were deliberate. Those who support russia share the guilt and the blood on their hands.

Russians started a human safari in Pokrovsk too. Videos are just civilians getting slaughtered under the surveillance of a drone. This will obviously not make it to headlines but please don’t let russians kill in silence

OTD in 1938 Nazi Germany started occupying the Sudetenland. The west tried to appease Hitler by giving him bits of someone else's country without them being at the discussion. This was awful of the West. Which is why we want the same thing for Ukraine today.

OTD in 2015 Russia began bombing Syria. -we denied we'd do it -we then did it -we bombed lots of hospitals, shopping centers & schools to create refugees -we said it would be WW3 if NATO got involved -when NATO helped throw us out we just ran away Sound familiar?

Google has updated its maps. Now you can see the full, unfiltered scale of the devastation in Mariupol. It’s especially striking: an invisible employment center next to a vanished school, sitting in a completely empty field. Just 3.5 years ago, that place overflowed with life.
