The US government is literally for sale to the highest bidder.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, made together with chef invité @martinlaineolen.bsky.social , we discuss the extensive links between pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and Russian officials and intelligence operatives, and how Western politicians reinforced these links. 1/23
Streets of Minneapolis av/med Bruce Springsteen var helt ok. Lyssna! Bästa (nya) protestsången hittills i år.
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor: "Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
Nu hoppas man ju att ”Heated Rivalry” äntligen tystar "go woke, go broke"-pöbeln.
Något för svenska medier att ta i beaktande?
I love this point in Margaret Sullivan's newsletter: "There should be far less emphasis on 'we don’t want to look biased,' and far more on 'how well are we doing our jobs of getting across the truth?'” It's not biased to call out authoritarian liars. 1/2🧵 @sulliview.bsky.social
When Russia invaded Ukraine, the first country to capitulate was the United States of America. The White House is a sock puppet for the Kremlin. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...
Updated 20-point "peace plan" does not oblige Ukraine to give up its NATO aspirations
The updated 20-point US "peace plan" for Ukraine formally contains no ban on Ukraine's NATO membership and does not oblige Kyiv to renounce its aspiration to join the Alliance. Meanwhile, Washington h...

The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story. The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth. And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Regarding the NATO planes scrambled yesterday and airport closures, I am fairly sickened by Romania's statement. A Russian drone DID cross over the border. They sent jets to look, then let it cross back into Ukraine. WTF? This isn't far off firing a projectile at Ukraine themselves.
Reminder. When the USA was attacked on 9/11 and asked its allies to stand with her in the fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, Denmark responded and sent troops to help. 43 Danish soldiers never came home. (more per captia than any country) They died defending America in her hour of need.
In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.
Macchiarini all over again..
➡️ My latest: Scientists at the F.D.A. had concerns about a lab-grown blood vessel. The company had deemed early deaths and amputations as 'success' cases in a key study. FDA scientists counted them as failures. The agency approved it anyway. GIFT: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/h...
Is there no republican who supports Ukraine left in Congress? Where are half the GOP congressmen who complained about Biden not doing enough for Ukraine? McCaul, Turner, Rogers? Are you just useless cowards now supporting Putin like Trump?
