Give your key defenses and fortress cities to Russia which has been unable to take them in 12 years of fighting, and then we who are acting to strengthen Russia will pretend to help you protect the rest of your country. This is shameful, rotten, and stinks of corruption.

Exclusive: The US has made its offer of security guarantees needed for a peace deal in Ukraine conditional on Kyiv ceding all of the country's eastern region of Donbas to Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Reuters reut.rs/3NPWIkK

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US This view is wrong A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

Unfortunately, it seems like the value of this was not obvious to people in America. Just another case of “oh, that’s what that was for” in the weeks ahead

It is stunning how committed Trump is to removing American soft power, built up over generations.

The smallest red carpet ever. And it’s in a puddle.🤣🤣🤣 Bravo Canada 👏🏽

Just let the crazies talk. They live off the attention of sane people. We should treat them for what they are: Loonies from the insane asylum.

This is white supremacist, great replacement Nazi shit coming out of the mouth of the U.S. vice president.

Massive protests in Belgrade, Serbia call for the resignation of the pro-Kremlin president Vucic. #3E #EndImpunity #SerbiaProtests

The U.S. is making more seizures of illegal eggs than fentanyl at its Canadian and Mexican borders - The Logic

Since October, U.S. customs officers have made 3,768 seizures of bird and poultry-related products, including eggs, compared to 352 fentanyl seizures.

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious

Oh The Urbanity!@ohtheurbanity.bsky.social · 2y ago

This is exactly why Canadians are fed up with US media. A segment on Canadians cancelling Vermont vacations. Mentions tariffs but not (1) who started the trade war or (2) that the US is constantly threatening to ANNEX our country! This isn’t MAGA. It’s not FOX. It’s a random NBC affiliate.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 2y ago

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

In a world of widespread nuclear proliferation, what happens to American military power? Offensively, it will simply dilute and run the risk of disappearing. Imagine such a world.

Just making sure everyone saw what the former Social Security Administrator told CNBC on Saturday...

This is all lies. Reporting has made clear that - Food and health spending is still paused, or contracts have been cancelled entirely (e.g. Ready-to-use therapeutic food for starving children) - Money owed for work done during Biden still hasn't gone out - Musk's people are the blockers

more and more i think the trump's actual revenge tour is against the american people www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/b...

‘How Are We Going to Afford This?’ U.S. Companies Face Tariff Reality. (Gift Article)

Business owners told The Times that President Trump’s tariffs could lead to higher costs and expressed frustration at the sudden uncertainty about policy.

ay lmao

4. Nationalize Tesla, SpaceX, Google for starters 5. Life imprisonment for bush, cheney, john yoo, james clapper, trump, and musk for starters 6. Re-education programs for MAGA, including forced labor for coup participants 7. Trains. Lots of trains

What if trump aimed to devalue US wages by 20 to 30%, to make the country's manufacturing competitive? What if it rains to compete with China in the long run? Who will States companies sell to after the trade war backlash closes markets to their products?

It could not be more obvious that we elected a Russian asset but if there’s still any question after this, or if news outlets are still not stating it outright, I’m not even sure what to say.

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

Exactly. Europe needs to stand on its own feet and lead where it should. Let's start by building our defenses, banning x and heavily regulating social media.

Kaja Kallas@kajakallas.bsky.social · 2y ago

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Journalists at mainstream US publications are absolutely allowed to engage in activism as long as it is aimed at reinforcing existing hierarchies and undermining progressive change. NYT news reporters recently engaged in a startlingly effective campaign against trans rights, for example.

steven monacelli@stevanzetti.bsky.social · 2y ago

This isn't meant to be a dunk, but I'm genuinely surprised when people don't understand that journalists generally cannot take part in activism if they want to be taken seriously as journalists
