A president doing something like dropping “crap” on protesters isn’t just childish it’s a full-blown disgrace. The highest office in the land is supposed to command respect, judgment, and responsibility, not pander to tantrums or petty grudges.

Was DC’s ‘No Kings’ protest a ‘hate rally’? @premthakker.bsky.social brings you inside the US capital’s huge, historic mobilization — and speaks to Mehdi Hasan, Bill Nye, Chris Murphy, Al Green, and the protesters.

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.

You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

Ya "when it's ready" is being determined by the EU. Had it not stood aside as Ukraine was being unilaterally disarmed & rolled out the red carpet to Ukraine for acting in good faith after signing the Budapest Memorandum, the EU would instead be benefitting considerably from Ukraine's contributions.

Presidential candidate Heather Humphreys endorsed by anti-trans, Enoch Burke.

This is likely to be the kiss of death to her gaining votes from anyone under 45 & most people over that. Currently only her own party grassroots are supporting her. Humphreys has also used anti-LGBTQ rhetoric #Aras25

So there you have it..... the Burkes are controlled opposition, promoting a vote for Heather Humphries and doing what the far right always does.... taking away votes from the left to keep the establishment in power.

It’s weird to see criticism of the peaceful “No Kings” rally at the Capitol from the same Josh Hawley who literally fist-pump cheered the violent January 6th rally at the Capitol.

Freezing the front lines of Russia’s invasion is not a path to peace but a sure way to extend the war.

It would reward Russian aggression and give the enemy breathing space to prepare the next offensive. It abandons millions of people to occupation and slavery, destroying hope.

If Trump could read he would know that Putin has said that he recognises the 1991 border between Russia and Ukraine so stopping the war must mean restoring that border. Germany did not gain land after WWII, so too Russia must get nothing. Trump has zero knowledge of history.

we've lived
through tough times before
and made it
picked ourselves up
and moved on
wiser for having been there
but when goodness
has been traded for gold
and the blind deaf
and more than dumb
lead the parade
the only thing waiting
is a cliff

Big Dumper and Epstein's Victims didn’t cooperate likely because they were threatened by wealthy and powerful people.

If people want the wrongdoing rich to face justice, document everything and make copies... They have a way of silencing people...

No Donald, it is very easy to figure out, the internationally recognized borders are known precisely. Putin is on record saying that he recognizes the 1991 border between Russia and Ukraine.
