Dear, NATO and EU If you want Putin to cease and desist, fast-track Ukraine and other candidate states into the EU. This pathetic foot dragging is emblematic of Europe’s wishful thinking. Putin wants to occupy Ukraine. Putin wants to occupy Europe. Wake up!
The Hungary-Poland Twitter war continues
German Defense Minister Pistorius: There is definitely no reason to assume that [Russian drones violating Polish airspace] was a matter of course correction errors or anything of that sort. These drones were quite obviously deliberately directed on this course.
Channeling his intellectual mentor who pressed for “total war” … the Plenipotentiary for Total War. While many will dismiss Stephen Miller, there are others who are hearing every word and believing every word he utters. Propaganda Meister Miller.

FUN FACT: If Kamala was POTUS right now, NONE of our trade or diplomatic relations would be up in smoke. NONE of our farms and agribusiness would be going belly up. NONE of the soft power we used to get great trade opportunities would have dried up. All of this was avoidable.

Such KGB eloquence in Orwellian grammatical syntax and elocution of woven prevarication! The art of speaking without saying anything.
(In the voice of Philomena Cunk): “Which must have come as a surprise to the people in Ukraine, Georgia, Afghanistan, and all the other countries Russia has attacked.”

“The terror and cruelty are the point.” Illinois Gov. Pritzker says WH Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller chose a potential federal takeover in Chicago during the month of Mexican Independence Day.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

#Ukraine says goodbye to Andrii Parubii, ex-head of Ukrainian Parliament, famous politician and a true patriot of Ukraine. I knew Andrii well and had a lot of respect for him. Today, his murderer was caught and according to his statements, Russia might have a connection to the murder.

When the “proof is in the pudding” and an exponential increase in illness, infectious diseases, which result in long term adverse effects or mortality… they may be ‘outraged’ but it will be too late.
The phrase "the fish stinks from the head" means that when an organization is failing, the root cause is often its leadership. The head of “secretary of health and human services” is RFK.
International response should and must a repeat of Moscow Olympics 1980.
SO many reasons for democratic countries to boycott the 2028 Olympics!
Every sports event that the Russian state reaches for, it always tries to twist to the benefit of its state propaganda, and this is propaganda of hatred and war. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a distance between the sports movement and this Russian evil.
🇺🇦 Zelensky: Currently, there is no greater destroyer of sports infrastructure and even the very principles of Olympism in the world than the Russian state. During the full-scale war, more than 600 Ukrainian athletes and coaches died from strikes, hundreds of our sports facilities were destroyed.

Having been at NATO meetings in Europe I have little faith that the main countries would step up for Article 5 if we asked for their help. However, we have significant lessons to be learned from Finland and Sweden. We must also build our relations with the Baltics. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Translation: “Putin owns me. I referred to him as ‘the Boss’ during my incoherent babbles that followed Putin’s nostalgic Soviet remarks and pontifications in Alaska.“
While we support strong action against RU, we can’t help but recall MAGA hyperventilating over the US providing Ukraine with missiles which could start “WWIII”. So somehow, sanctions and support to allies is dangerous escalation, but announcing nuclear positioning is okay? -Sincerely, confused
First they came for the statisticians, and you said nothing. Then they came for the statistics, and you were silent. They came for the digits, the keyboards, the pencils, and still nobody spoke out. Then they came for you, but nobody cared, because surely…the numbers don’t lie.
Time for some good news! The human world can work together to solve environmental challenges, just like the Montreal Protocol & elimination of CFCs started in the 1980s. By 2035, the ozone “hole” may be completely closed all year long! This Government thanks you all! news.mit.edu/2025/study-h...
Lobstertarianism is actually a strong political system, I think the watchdog group needs to take a look at the Krill political structure for actual, comparable incompetence
Humans post video of “close call”... which is misleading. We were actually trying to banish Gary, but he has an uncanny ability to stick to with us like an octopus sucker

⚡️Ukrainian drone strikes halt operations at Russia’s Kuibyshevsk refinery, sources tell Reuters. The refinery, operated by Rosneft, saw both of its main crude distillation units — CDU-4 and CDU-5, each with a capacity of 70,000 barrels per day — taken offline in the recent strikes.

Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
This is Russia… foul-mouthed, superiority complex.

"You came here to work? Then shut your f*cking mouth! You’re a slave of the Russians!" Starting September 1, Russia's Moscow region will launch the Amina app to track foreigners. Its installation will be mandatory for all migrants entering Russia under the visa-free regime for work purposes.
That’s it?! Disappointment and dissatisfaction? Wait for it. More may follow. Russia is like an invasive species.
⚡️Lithuania urges EU to bypass Hungary in Ukraine membership talks. Vilnius reportedly proposes launching technical-level accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova without Hungary, provided the other 26 member states agree.

“Throughout their careers, Roger and Nancie Marzulla have represented business interests, developers, and fossil fuel companies against government environmental intervention. This raises the inevitable question: why are the Marzulla’s defending whales against offshore wind developers today?”

Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states

Trump’s buffoonery and egomaniacal personality are assets for Putin.
"The state of Illinois is ready to stand against this military deployment with every peaceful tool we have. We will see the Trump administration in court." Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker speaks out on Trump’s threat to send members of the National Guard into Chicago.
Any fabricated reason, a manipulated statistic, and excuse to be Chicken Little racing around shouting ‘the sky is falling!’… the Trumplican way.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
“Zaporozhian Cossack statesman Pylyp Orlyk’s 1710 Constitution is considered one of the earliest constitutions in the world. It was one of the first in Europe to establish separation of powers and democratic principles, predated the U.S. Constitution by decades.” kyivindependent.com/34-facts-to-...

Trump may do a ‘Yanukovych Flip’ “…it was privatized in the final weeks of Yanukovych’s leadership as Prime Minister. This privatization has been alleged as having been illegal, with no money being reported as being paid to the state for its sale.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezhyhi...

Look at how vulgar the Oval Office has become since Zelensky's last visit. Zelensky must feel as if he's in Viktor Yanukovych's tacky mansion.

"First of all, President Zelenskyy, you look fabulous in that suit” Media personality who criticized Zelenskyy's military-style attire during his last visit compliments his suit
There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
Brian Glenn: President Zelenskyy, you look fabulous in that suit Zelenskyy: You are in the same suit. I changed, you did not.
