My take: two ways to fight the trump regime: 1) Democrats stop working with Republicans on anything. 2) If the world wants to help, boycott the U.S. Do not visit. Do not buy our products. This regime feeds on money and power and we need to starve them. #Resist
The United States: the country of the archaic electoral college, 'winner takes all', a partisan supreme court, gerrymandering, disproportionate representation in the Senate, voter suppression, law suits against journalists and civil servants, etc..teaches us Europeans about freedom and democracy?!
F#ck you, Nile Gardiner. You and your buddies want to divide Europe, and turn it into a colony. You and your extremist #HeritageFoundation can stick it where the sun don't shine. There is no "conservatism" here, you are calling for authoritarianism and imperialism, just like your Russian friends.
This is what a civilized country does when someone tries to steal their democracy.

Had iemand in ons land een Russische archeoloog uitgenodigd die opgravingen doet in bezet Oekraiens land op de Krim?

The 28-point wishlist from the kremlin is sucking oxygen out of every newsroom. Meanwhile, we have 11 years of evidence that russia doesn’t want peace in Ukraine, it wants #Ukraine in pieces Hot off the press nypost.com/2025/11/22/o...
The Ukraine ‘peace plan’ distracts from the real issue: why Russia’s desperate to keep fighting
Say what you will about President Trump’s methods, but his wish to end Russia’s war is genuine. The problem is Moscow doesn’t want peace in Ukraine, it wants Ukraine in pieces. A panicking Vladimir…

If the US withdraws support on Thursday Ukraine will struggle to contain Russia as the US will lift sanctions and allow Russia to continue murdering civilians. The US is a disgrace.
9/9 russia’s excuses are collapsing. Its lies are exposed. The war is unjust, brutal, and failing. The only way forward is to keep supporting Ukraine until russia’s aggression is defeated—for good
Thank you for the 'on tyranny' resources. Would it be possible to have them available in more languages?

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social
Moderna withdraws application for COVID-flu combination vaccine
Moderna said on Wednesday it has withdrawn an application seeking approval for its flu and COVID combination vaccine candidate after discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Ukraine doesn’t need America to win the war. Ukraine needs Europe to realize together we can win the war without America, assume responsibility, and make it happen.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot urged the EU to impose stringent sanctions on Russia to cripple its economy and halt military actions. He highlighted Ukraine's ceasefire agreement a month ago, contrasting it with Russia's lack of commitment to peace efforts.
It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.
So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.
The U.S. has stopped giving advance warning to UA air defence about impending long-range drone- and missile strikes. Every single civilian that dies in Ukraine tonight, dies because of Donald Trump. Fuck the U.S. Hit them where it hurts. Boycott their goods. Make the EU a superpower.
8. Trump has marginalized the US as a mendacious & unreliable power, so why even talk to such don men? 9. The collapse of the Trump regime on Ukraine means that Europe has to do everything - also negotiations. Trump's talks with Putin are only hostile activities.
As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

De Verenigde Staten hadden in USAID een koopje om overal politieke invloed te kopen en dat werkte beter dan de intimidatie-techniek van Trump. De Verenigde Staten zijn straks geschiedenis als wereldmacht.
Europa heeft de VS niet nodig om Rusland te neutraliseren. Maar dan moeten we nu wel gaan beseffen dat deze dreiging niet zomaar verdwijnt en dat waarschuwen absoluut niet werkt.

Between 2013-2021, cervical cancer mortality in U.S. women under 25 dropped by 62%, thanks to widespread HPV vaccination. Yet, vaccination rates fell to 75.9% in 2023. Let's prioritize protecting the next generations. Vaccines Rock no matter what the anti vaxxers claim falsely. #Medsky 🧪
