America's network of democratic alliances was a jewel. Never before had a great power relied on cultivating voluntary relationships, leading to the richest, most powerful country in history, and benefitting the world relative to the alternative.

Then America decided to throw it away. And for what?

An AIPAC stooge has launched a campaign against Kat.

Not a fucking dime to that dude.
Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.

This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

Als Oekraïne het nieuws haalt, dan is dat vaak door een gekke uitspraak van Trump. Dan gaat het over Trump. Maar juist de gewone Oekraïners in bezet gebied verdienen onze aandacht. Die moeten al 3,5 jaar onder een schrikbewind leven.
Een vlag vasthouden is genoeg om in Melitopol voorgoed te verdwijnen: het verhaal van Maxim illustreert 3,5 jaar Russische bezetting. - Hidde Bouwmeester

3 years ago today, the armed forces of Ukraine liberated Kherson.

Ever since, Russia has done everything in its power to make the city uninhabitable.

From across the river, they relentlessly bombard Kherson with glide bombs, artillery, and drones.

At a time when Trump wants to double premiums and throw 15 million off the health care they have, please remember that the U.S. is the only major country on Earth not the guarantee health care to all as a human right.

This thread is horrifying, and is only happening with the complicity of Congress and the Supreme Court
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.

If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.

Obscene.

I write often about how private equity is destroying US healthcare. Lina Khan is a rare person who has used her position in power to fight back against private equity’s hold on the US economy. Very excited to see what she does in New York.
If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.
