For those who buy Russia’s filthy oil: this is who Russia is fighting in Ukraine. This is childhood in Ukraine in 2026. We will not forget!

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

Wisconsin liberals have a chance next month to go up 5-2 on the state supreme court for the first time in modern history. If they succeed, they'll also block conservatives from earning a court majority through the next presidential election and until at least 2030.

Ex-Israeli Official to Netanyahu: “Update us… what are the goals of the war? What have we achieved? Do you, your wife, your children run to the shelter during attacks? Or are you in some underground bunker that protects you from missiles… and from the wrath of the citizens?”

It’s just incredible how a known serial liar and domestic abuser can suddenly be trusted when accusing someone of abuse without any proof and when there is clear evidence they abused the person they accuse of abuse. I refuse to understand the absurd.

The U.S. unexpectedly loses 92,000 jobs, adding to worries about the economy The job market showed further signs of weakness last month as employers cut 92,000 jobs. The unemployment rate inched up to 4.4%, from 4.3% in January.

Everyone who understands the impact of Smoot-Hawley is saying I told you so right now.

Iran is getting assistance from Russia to target US forces.

List of military alliances - Wikipedia

Wikipedia has this extremely useful list to find real extant military alliances. Excluding MNNAs, which isn’t truly a defense pact, it just gives countries second in line priority to purchase American military surplus and does not obligate us to their defense. Aside from that its good.

Sure sure… Saudi Arabia and Israel are “Non-NATO Allies”, just like Afghanistan and Pakistan.

So what does this mean?

Honestly, let’s just check in on the situation between Afghanistan and Pakistan…

In technical terms it has meant nothing at all since 2021.

Especially when we refuse to close the sky over Ukraine, a country which we have real legal security guarantees to due to the Budapest Memorandum, even if they are poorly defined, they exist.

We have no such treaty with any country south of Turkey.

Please stop prefacing every statement about Middle eastern countries except Turkey with “our partners”.

The only country which could possibly be considered Middle Eastern with a defense pact with the USA is Turkey. It is our only ally in the region.

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

So yes, the hidden Epstein Files directly relate to Donald Trump. #EpsteinFiles

There should be no assistance to Russia after this war is over to help them rebuild. We should help Ukraine, obviously, and Russia should pay for it.

Instead of rebuilding Russian oil infrastructure, build a greener future.

On top of this, 5 EU members + the UK (which should be an EU member) have sent defensive deployments to defend Cyprus, which is the appropriate response to threats to the European Union.

I just wish they would be as quick to send weapons to Ukraine…

OK, so Iran hasn’t only attacked Turkey, they have also attacked the United Kingdom at their territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. That’s 2 NATO members. That’s an enormous mistake.

They’re starting to do experiments on Trans people in prisons now, and I’m certain they’ll start on the POC they have abducted.
Housecleaning after this regime is going to require severe punishment to leave no doubt that it won’t happen again.

Zelensky should only help Israel and the United States in exchange for assistance to defeat Russia, sanctions compliance, weapons deliveries, and everything else Ukraine needs.

The UN refugee agency says about 100,000 people fled Tehran in the first 2 days of the war.

Around 2000 vehicles per day have been leaving the city, mostly heading north.

So far, no increase in people crossing international borders has been reported. (AP)

It doesn’t really matter what Trump and Netanyahu did. Türkiye was not involved in this war, but that wasn’t enough for Iran.

To be fair, the Soviet Union opted out of the ECSC and instead chose to colonize every country between Berlin and Moscow… but the other countries which were uncolonized after World War II joined alliances to build peace.

The Middle East needs the same, just without Russia.
