Due to russia's constant attacks, blackouts and power cuts have become the reality for millions, especially in medical facilities. Without a stable power supply, life is threatened.

Thanks to your donations via UNITED24, more Ukrainian hospitals can still save lives💙💛

This is apparently an actual letter that Donald Trump sent yesterday to Jonas Gahr, the prime minister of Norway.

Was Biden's dementia worse than this?

He needs to be impeached and removed from office
A source confirms to me that this disturbing letter from Trump to the Norwegian PM is real.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Throw the book at him. He only understands strength. Appeasing Trump never works.

Kyiv is moving to a schedule of 4.5–5 outage rotations: power cuts may last more than 16 hours, according to Yasno’s CEO.

Meanwhile, the weather is freezing. This is a humanitarian disaster caused by russia. Please do not look away!

Russia is targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and residential buildings. People are sitting in -20°C without electricity, water, or heating.
Pipes are bursting. Homes are freezing.

Trump: “UKRAINE AND ZELENSKY DON’T WANT PEACE.”

What the actual f*ck.

Important work here from the NYT. Ross wasn’t run over. He dropped his cell phone, which he had shifted to his left hand to draw his weapon. And then he shot and killed a person with the gun in his right hand.

A US early-warning radar of one sort or another has been on Greenland for nearly 70 years—without the need for US sovereignty. Greenland is also covered by Article Five & US could protect it v Russia or China. Conflating Greenland's military importance with the issue of US ownership is dishonest.

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.

“Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all.”

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

The best thing about being in Costa Rica is we aren't getting news right now. Everyone needs a break from dumb dumb in chief

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

.@PabloReports: Why do you think it’s so hard for some to just accept that you have always been for abolishing ICE?

AOC: I don’t know, man. People are like, “Oh, you said cut funding, but not abolish”—how do you think you abolish an agency, man? You don’t keep funding it to the tune of billions

Anyone who's been paying attention, will come to the obvious conclusion that they've been *ordered to escalate* – and to be particularly aggressive to women and people of color.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
