Breaking news: Russian stats are still allergic to the truth! 🧐

Ukrainian blogger Michael Sheitelman dropped a hilarious bombshell, exposing another Russian lie so absurd it’ll make you snort your borsch.

I haven’t seen a single Republican show any concern for workers going without pay, still scraping together money for childcare and transportation just to get to the office.

They just care about keeping Trump happy and blocking the Epstein files.

Clearly Trump lied when he said his $250 million ballroom wouldn’t “interfere” with the White House.

So who’s watching this mess; the White House Historical Association or the Office of the Curator? Because someone needs to make sure he’s not bulldozing history for a dance floor.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

‘member this one? from december 2016.
at the time, i called it “hopefully not, but quite possibly the most prescient image of the 21st century.

norwegian political cartoon from december 2016, depicting donald trump portrayed as a crawling baby, wearing a diaper overflowing with diarrhea, his legs and hands and face and the floor also streaked with diarrhea, tugging at a table-cloth made from a US flag, also smearing it with diarrhea, and causing a globe on the table-top to teeter precariously over the edge.

The country once described as a gas station with nukes is now forced to import gasoline. Fantastic work, Ukraine!

Phillips OBrien @phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 19d

That grinding sound you are hearing is the Ukrainians relentlessly dissecting arguably the most important part of the Russian economy. And they are doing this with almost no help from their partners--indeed the US has tried to stop them from attacking into Russia. kyivindependent.com/russia-to-be...

Russia to import gasoline from Asia as nearly 40% of refining capacity shuts down, media reports

Russia is considering importing fuel from China, South Korea, and Singapore to stabilize its domestic market, according to Kommersant.

It is imperative that journalists & Congress disabuse Trump of the idea that regime change will be a “cakewalk” (a term Republicans used to describe the Iraq invasion). If you think I’m exaggerating about Trump’s addiction to stealing oil, watch what he said about the Iraq invasion in 2017! 6/

“Objective of US mission has shifted from fighting drug traffickers to regime change” (Financial Times)
This is EXTREMELY dangerous. Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves & Trump never met a hydrocarbon he didn’t covet. Here’s why it won’t be easy to install a govt & take the oil. 1/

Non-voters allowed this happen. In the US, non-voters are the single largest subgroup of citizens. In the last presidential election, 31% voted for Harris. 32% for Trump. 37% did not vote.

Political cartoon shows a red car crashed into a tree. The driver is a parody of the president saying: This is the Democrats' fault.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: We are not losing this war and Putin is not winning. His army is in a weak position now. They could occupy 1% of our land, but they spent 1.3 million people.

I don't understand why the leader of the largest country on Earth need some more kilometers. This war is about our independence.

We often forget how far we have come:

➡️ Today almost 50% of EU electricity generation is from renewable energy sources.

➡️ It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix. This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation.
