Five European nations have determined that Russia poisoned Alexei Navalny.

This was a cowardly act from a frightened leader.

Russia has long acted as a terrorist state, relying on terrorist methods.

Poisoning political opponents.
Silencing journalists.
Invading peaceful neighbors.

The claim that climate change is a "hoax" or a "con job" is the biggest hoax or con job the Republicans have ever pushed. I hope that future generations remember exactly who these fools were.

"I am a member of no organized party; I am a Democrat."

A classic saying and a reminder that our Party is NOT PERFECT!

But they align with my values, and they represent our best shot to fight Trump.

Continuing to hamstring them is NOT A SMART PLAY.

And I will fight you if you try.

President Trump is butting heads with the Constitution again. This time, he is floating the idea to "nationalize" elections in America's cities. @azsecretary.bsky.social Adrian Fontes joins me at 11 a.m. EST on why Trump's musings are blatant election interference. #Velshi

I’m not reposting Trump’s latest obscene racism, because it’s widely posted. If you don’t know what it is, look. It’s not news in terms of telling us who he isβ€”if you didn’t know this by now, you’re not going toβ€”but the blunt openness of it is a rhetorically violent escalation, & that is news.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

I feel this in my soul. The heartbreak is real. The panic is real. The sleepless nights and nightmares are real. πŸ’”

Looking at what we’ve become is truly soul-crushing. Trump and vile MAGA Republicans must be stopped.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

So we're not going to follow the constitution.

The Supreme Court is allowing them to arrest people based on race, the job they have, or the language they speak or even their accent...somehow that's reasonable suspicion? Or probable cause?

FYI- "Just following orders" is not a defense.

George Mitchell’s name removed from US-Ireland scholarship after Epstein files release Scholarship was set up in name of Belfast Agreement broker

It's rather dizzying how much more responsive to the Epstein file releases at least some European countries have been than the US.

I'm not surprised, mind.
