“Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote. There is no reason which can excuse the denial of that right. There is no duty which weighs more heavily on us than the duty we have to ensure that right.” ~President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1965. Image: LBJ Presidential Library and Museum.

Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social · 20h ago“I think America is big enough for all of us. [JD Vance’s] view of America is small. It's small like him.” A lot of money quotes in this @gregsargent.bsky.social interview with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, but this is the best one in my view.

Important new US intelligence assessment leaked to WSJ concludes—largely backing the Poles and Balts—that Putin personally ordered the commencement of a new large-scale sabotage and terrorism operation targeting the European members of NATO.

Zelenskyy says that "Starlink is still limited, but secretary [Rubio] told me that he will work with his team on this to unblock this. God bless, it will be done."
Back last year, the invaluable Julia Davis pulled a series of pieces from Russian media in which Kremlin-connected analysts described exactly how Putin anticipated that he would turn Trump into his ally and plaything in the coming months. Everything they said has come to pass. And more.
