We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.

But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Take a break and look at this sky.

I am sorry to say it, but this is probably one of the most important things you can repost today.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

Big crowd

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

Thousands are seen spread out for hundreds of metres towards buildings in the distance. The mountains are seen on the horizon.

A quick 🧵of the incredible sights in cities across the USA right now.

Millions are on the street speaking out against Trump & Musk trampling the Constitution.

Let’s start here with Salt Lake City 😳👏
