Garry Kasparov at Halifax Security Forum:

"For 4 years, Ukraine has been fighting for the whole of Europe. NATO was created to fight one war — not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria — one war: to save free Europe from Russian aggression.

Irony is dead.

My question is how can we ensure every Republican spends two weeks on Trump's bad side? They are all weak and this might be a winning strategy to turning over Congress before the next election.

Russia is not winning its war in Ukraine

But Steve Witkoff has agreed to treat them as a victor

It’s a long Russian con to make America complicit — and it makes America weak, and corrupt

I gotta say hearing everyone keep talking about so called ‘peace plan’ Russia is trying to push on us while air raid siren alert is on in my city and rescuers continue to search for 14 people in Ternopil after Russia bombed a civilian apartment building there yesterday is absolutely f*cked up.

Today I spent the whole day holding my children. I wanted them to feel that I am here and that they are safe. The fear for your children is the worst fear.

Today a Russian missile took so many lives. It hurts so much that I don’t know how to cope with it.

Your boss brags about avoiding-- as many years as possible-- paying the IRS a dime on his billionaire cash-pile.

But please do tell us about all the grifters ripping the US treasury off for that sweet, sweet bounty of...food stamps.

Trying to make Mohammed bin Salman feel at home as they take questions from the press, President Trump invites the Saudi Crown Prince to select one reporter to have executed.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The Putin ally and asset strikes again.

I wonder if she's actually read the words of Jesus.

How can we call ourselves followers of Jesus while pushing for a government that privileges our faith above others? It’s a dangerous line to blur. True influence means advocating for the flourishing of ALL communities, not just our own. Are we truly seeking the common good?

This is obscene. No CEO is worth that much to a company that has only generated half that much revenue in the 22 years since it was founded.

It's a glitch in the Matrix!

Yeah Nick- that’s the whole point

Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, and it internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day, company documents show.

“Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day.”

Hakeem Jeffries: “The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a ped*phile protection program…that’s the reason why they refused to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.”

Tear Gas, Pepper Balls Among Weapons Deployed Against Illinois Protesters A judge recently issued a restraining order on crowd-control tactics by federal agents in the state, including those involved in Operation Midway Blitz.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

‘He lost us’: Generals, senior officers say trust in Hegseth has evaporated Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders, with his public “grandstanding” widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former ...

Just going to leave this here.

Democracies are under pressure — and the stakes could not be higher.

In 90 seconds, I explain why I wrote Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder.

Out October 28 from HarperCollins / Mariner Books.

Trump never fails to disappoint.

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

OTD in 1906 Hannah Arendt was born.

"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact & fiction and the distinction between true & false no longer exist".

One out of every 25 people on death row is innocent! We can't just shake our heads at this—it's a moral outrage! States should be fighting for justice, not against DNA testing. If the truth sets us free, why the resistance? Let’s demand accountability! #JusticeMatters

Trump's America is a disgusting place where armed agents can attack a Mom waiting to pick up her kids at school only to later release her because she's got her papers.

Is America becoming the Rome of our time? The parallels are alarming. As Christian Nationalists push for an imperial faith, we must ask: who are we really worshiping? Jesus or the empire? Let’s stand firm and ensure we’re lifting the true Lord above all false idols.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.
