Yale Investigation: Deported Ukrainian Children Taken to Over 210 Facilities in Russia - Profolus Yale researchers identified and verified 210 sites in Russia holding Ukrainian deported children.

Not just isolated cases: Ukrainian children deported to Russia are held in at least 210 facilities. From indoctrination to military training, Yale investigators reveal a vast system that may amount to war crimes.

Swalwell: Thereโ€™s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because youโ€™re going to be in this room answering questions

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Japan broke it's All-time NATIONAL heat record for the 2nd time in... checks notes... less than a week!
It's not coincidence. It's climate change.
Japan is surrounded by the most anomalously hot water on the planet right now. The city of Isesaki hit 107 - it's in a valley NW of Tokyo. 1/

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didnโ€™t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesnโ€™t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they werenโ€™t).

I could say something funny here, but I wonโ€™t. Itโ€™s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Hereโ€™s the thing about a strike: we canโ€™t call one until weโ€™re ready. If we do, the government will know to just wait us out. We wonโ€™t be able to last as long as we need to to be successful.

And this doesnโ€™t just mean everyone needs to sign a strike card. Thereโ€™s so much more.

Oregon lawmakers to decide whether big tech should pay to support local journalism Companies including Google and Meta could be required to pay millions to online Oregon news outlets.

This is accurate. Millions globally and across every single state. 1,300 community protests. From hundreds to hundreds of thousands. We want MAGAs to gets their grubby hands off our democracy. And we want Dems to find their spines. And we're just getting started (again).

She marched against Trump in 2017. Now, she says, โ€˜just let it all burn.โ€™ Democrats are struggling to match the massive โ€œresistanceโ€ movement that sprang up in Trumpโ€™s first term โ€” and battling cynicism among their own voters.

if you were looking for signs that Jeff Bezos's obeisance to Trump has bled over into newsroom coverage it would probably look something like this article getting top billing over the story of 3-5 million people marching yesterday www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.

Trumpโ€™s โ€œGender Ideologyโ€ Attacks Are Following a Global Movement In Europe and Latin America, the concept has been used to demand and justify far-reaching attacks on womenโ€™s rights and LGBTQ rights.

Happy International Womenโ€™s Day.

Authoritarians want to reimpose repressive gender structures worldwide.

Theyโ€™re pro-rape, anti-abortion. Pro-battering, anti-divorce. Pro-death in childbirth, anti-birth control. Pro-toxic masculinity, anti-LGBTQ.

Stop them.
