Just now from Ukraine's President Zelenskyy:

"We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region.

How many different ways can Trump and the Republican Party sycophants who bow down to him screw over farmers before they will wake up and stop voting for these people? Maybe after they lose their farms. www.wired.com/story/trumps...

“This is something every American should have to go see with their own eyes,” Casey tells MPR News. “It marks such a monumental change in American society, where our citizens are being executed on the streets of our cities.”

We wouldn't need them if voters didn't reflexively vote for incumbents, but that's a pipedream, so.... bring on the term limits!

Unbelievable that there are no term limits for governor in Texas. That Abbott has held office since 2015 and is now running for a fourth term just seems plain foolish.

Would love a ban Dominion executives from being on public college and university boards, but that would mean ending the patronage system

Another member of the chat, William Bejerano — who tried to start a pro-life group at Miami Dade College — was the primary user of the n-word in the group. At one point, he posted a block of text calling for dozens of acts of extreme violence against Black people, who he referred to using the n-word, including crucifying, beheading and dissecting people. Bejerano hung up the phone when reached by the Herald.

Dariel Gonzalez, the College Republicans’ recruitment chairman at the time, responded in the chat: “How edgy.” “Ew you had colored professors?!” Gonzalez wrote at another point. “I reguse [sic] to be indoctrinated by the coloreds.” He told the group he used the term “colored” because, “I was told we cant say black anymore.” A couple days later, he added: “Avoid the coloreds like the plague.” He did not respond to a request for comment. The group chat members — which included some women — also frequently discussed sex, sometimes describing women as “whores” and at one point using the k-word, a slur for Jewish people, to describe women they avoid.

Fun fact, fox news once tried to sic a mob on me because I wrote that being hispanic didn’t mean you couldn’t be a white supremacist, because race is subjective and many hispanics identify as white. Completely unrelated here’s how some Miami Republicans talk in private

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

She died by setting herself on fire.

The fact that he refuses to step down is just one aspect of his repugnance.

I'm not used to getting WhatsApp messages from friends in bomb shelters. I know, however, that this is sadly routine in too many parts of the world. I hardly know what to say, except "I love you" and "Be safe."

Not even a mention of how the corporate democratic establishment screwed her. How Colbert and Meidas Touch put their thumbs on the scales. Fuck them both. Tired of their big headed, smarter than you attitudes anyhow

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

PATHETIC!

So after all Trump’s whining about the “Biden autopen”, and forcing investigations, even though he uses one himself, they couldn’t build a case.

Not because they didn’t try. But because there was no case to build.

This is like November 6th all over again. I'm fvcking p!ssed. I watched post after post of ppl stating reasons why they love Crockett but voted for Talarico. I'm so over it!!

The continued selling out of the Black woman. Talarico has nothing on Crockett.

I want my fellow Black folks in Texas and elsewhere to realize that NO ONE is entitled to your vote! Other demographics like to use us when it benefits them, then try to tell us what we should be doing instead of supporting us in what we want to do. Don't keep falling for it. We have NO allies!

Tgere was a formed D TX Coalition agreed to in March 2025.

Talarico was running for Governor, Crockett for Senate. Beto was involved as was Colin Allred.

Talarico was wined/dined by a camoaign mgr pro in NYC (she was on Cuomo's mayoral - & was responsible for smearing his SA victims.)

I’m really struggling to imagine Congress without Rep Jasmine Crockett next year. We need more fighters, not fewer.

They’ve already seeded the next few generations.

Yeah negotiating is the backbone of the whole operation

Is this not quite literally the point of unions to be in negotiation with them? If you don't want union complaints, stop doing bullshit!

March 4, 2026: Charlottesville picks Walker School site over Oak Lawn for early education center Plus: Extended hours coming for McIntire Recycling Center

From this: open.substack.com/pub/communit...

Sanders said the city has had to hire staff just to work on the constant negotiations. "Having four contracts is quite a pickle that you have put us in with having us have this many contracts to manage," Sanders said. "We're in a perpetual state of constantly negotiating. That is the reality. We finish one and we move to the next one. And sometimes we have Two at the same time."

I really do not love the negative energy towards collective bargaining that city and city school leaders publicly routinely express. It trickles down to their management staff, who then blame unions for problems that are in fact management’s responsibility to solve.

When trump is finally gone, it will take a long time and much difficulty to repair the damage the fool has done. The hardest part may be restoring our nation's image on the world stage, and convincing our former friends to trust us again.

Insane.

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

This is our shame, my fellow Americans. And our crime. We're making the lives of millions of everyday people miserable -- for no good reason.

The cruelty of this US regime is unfathomable.. the cesspool era of the US
