You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

No, vote blue like the life of everyone you have ever loved depends on it

Annieli's daily compendium over at Daily Kos of Vladimir Putin's war crimes against Ukraine—and Donald Trump lustily sucking Putin's ass to support those crimes. Quaoar's compendium will be available after 12 noon EST.

Day 1706. 😱💔

What Russia cynically calls ‘liberation’ means Ukrainian cities reduced to rubble, civilians driven from their homes, and entire communities destroyed. This devastation is what the Kremlin proudly calls ‘victory’ and finds worth celebrating.

From the slaveholding South to Jim Crow, Reagan’s billionaire revolution, and Trump’s police state, the same dangerous pattern keeps repeating. Is fascism conservatism’s ultimate destination? hartmannreport.com/p/does-conse...

Fascism is an international movement. And so is the resistance.

Alternate history in music is rare, so when I learned the Austrian metal band, Dragony, made a whole alternate history album, I was intrigued. Called "Viribus Unitis" its set during the end of Austria-Hungary and features plenty of #AlternateHistoween fun, including magic, demons and zombies!

The images and footage from across Serbia tonight are genuinely inspirational. A protest movement taking its country back. This is Freedom Square in the city of Novi Sad. 🇷🇸👏 (🎥 192 RS)

Trump is a bully. Like all bullies, he can't take being punched in his own face.

wellstone was the first politician i ever got to volunteer for. people love to quote “we all do better when we all do better” but i try to live by this one: “If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them.”

Best post of today!!! (You know unless… 😵)

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

Hello again and thanks for joining me on Day 1705 of Russia's attempt to remove Ukraine from the map. Time for another daily thread, with all the fact-checked news of the war in one handy thread, updated throughout the day, every single day, without fail.

Today, another Russian smear campaign is trying to pretend that Ukraine, or Zelenskyy personally, rejected a good "peace deal" in Istanbul in 2022. ​The "peace plan" in question included strict limitations on the Ukrainian armed forces, rendering them harmless and defenseless.

The recent Starlink / Starshield incident in Ukraine has created a dangerous precedence for the US export industry, many haven't yet grasped. The sudden deactivation respectively curtailing of those systems without warning not only cost precious lives, but also equipment worth millions.

There are Nazis, & there are forerunners of Nazism. Today is the birthday of Karl Lueger (1844), the Mayor of Vienna who, through his Christian Social Movement, not only improved the city & services, but also pioneered a new populist politics of resentment, including antisemitism

Imagine being such a horrible piece of shit that when you're two hours late to a campaign event, people all across America immediately have the same thought and are disappointed when you finally arrive.

Amazing. Shattering. Please read the entire thread. ❤️💔🙏🏻✡️☮️

And it was actually a prisoner exchange in which we gave them an actual Russian criminal and we also gave them diplomatic cover in a war of aggression — not only morally shameful and personally humiliating but as a negotiation absolutely laughably unequal.

Ukraine wants partners’ Patriot interceptors now, in exchange for its own future deliveries. Europe can hand them over only with US approval, Zelenskyy said after Russia fired 21 ballistic missiles at Kyiv. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/10/23/u...

The first year of the war broke me. I lost myself. The constant missiles, drones, and endless air raid alerts were unbearable. I came very close to taking my own life. Today, I look back and see how much stronger I’ve become. I’m so glad I stayed. ❤️
