He risked his life daily so no Ukrainian hero would be forgotten. Oleksii Yukov, head of Platsdarm, was killed on the front lines while recovering fallen soldiers to return them to their families with dignity. 🧵 1/5 ⬇️
Really don’t like to see feculent hogs like this repeat word-for-word White Russian propaganda from 1919
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 2h agoIn Tucker’s recent interview with his favorite Holocaust-denying “historian,” TC is shocked to learn that the Bolsheviks erected a statue to Judas in Moscow. The only problem is, there is no evidence that this ever happened. But who cares about evidence when you have a fascist narrative to push?
Teach your children ‘democrats are not always good, but republicans ARE always bad’ and in 2026 you’ve covered like 90% of their practical civic education wrt voting.
Stan Oklobdzija@stano.bsky.social · 14h agoThe best thing about Vote Blue No Matter Who is that it unloads a lot of cognitive burden. I wanted Tom Steyer to be in the Governor's race, but he's not so I'm gonna vote for Becerra. I don't follow his campaign at all: I'm voting for him because he's not a Republican.
If investors believe this, they deserve to have their money taken. I will shed no tears for someone who loses everything when the grift is this obvious.

Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
Sometimes, I enjoy having been right. Stevens' concession literally speaks about El Sayed's public health record, as it should.
Alon (they/them)@alonlevy.bsky.social · last wk.With Platner it was multiway-ish - Mills didn't really want it, so pushing out third options had a purpose. It isn't now - Stevens is going to fight as hard as possible, and then after the vote everyone is going to discover how great El Sayed's public health record/Stevens' auto bailout record was.
Hebrewsky is threading about Ben Gvir's idea of having a moat full of alligators around the prisons for Palestinians (stricken down by the HCJ, on animal cruelty grounds). So far the winner is the post suggesting a moat full of Ben Gvirs and appointing an alligator as minister of police.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, BofA Enabled Epstein, Wyden Report Says
Democrat Ron Wyden cited nonpublic documents held by the US Treasury in a report that says banks delayed reporting suspicious financial transactions and calls for tougher anti-money-laundering rules, ...

it’s actually crazy how every Republican who claims they will stand up to Trump is just a total cuck with a humiliation fetish
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"

Cao Cao Power Hour Enthusiast@statsboyandi.bsky.social · 2d agoOne reason I’m not terribly worried about the Michigan race is this is a very easy slam dunk for Public Health expert El-Sayed to make the general election about. And if he can’t hit that? Well that’s on him.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterdayBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
pleased to announce that I've been hired by The New York Times. my job is to commission articles written by right-wing politicians, activists, and billionaires where they describe their activities in whatever way they see fit. it's nice because I don't have to edit or fact check anything
It gets better: The guy in charge of big DOD strategy literally wrote a book on how we should never do this, with the threat of China being his main reason as to why we should avoid more wars in the Middle East. It’s idiots and hypocrites all the way down.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · yesterdayI have zero knowledge about military stuff. So correct me if I'm wrong: Basically we spent decades building up a big stockpile of advanced weapons so we could be ready for any potential conflict with China or Russia? And then Trump used ALL OF THEM in a literally aimless war with Iran?
We watched the "Americans wont mind paying a bit more for things like fast food if it means workers get paid a better wage" claim explode in real time during the Biden years, I dont know why anyone at this point wouldnt think "Americans will be willing to pay more for quality items" is a lie too.
Regime Accountant, CPA ☠️🎢@regimecpa.bsky.social · 2d agoI personally think American consumers are fucking hogs who are lying when they say they will pay more for quality and nothing short of banning cheap goods will make that supposedly existing preference emerge.
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
So called Rational market actors when trump nearly blows up the world economy for the 29th time: nah its priced in it’ll all be fhne Those same actors when interest rates go up slightly to reduce inflation: OH FUCK SELL EVERYTHING THE GROUPCHAT SAYS THE BANKS OUT OF MONEY GO GO BAILOUT
This is ridiculously scary. Yes, we are currently talking about ballrooms and reflecting pools and inflation and Iran and Venezuela and Epstein and crypto grift and the moral rot of the GOP. But all that is going to be forgotten soon. Shit is about to get real, as they say.
Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 3d agoI'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Oracle has become the poster child for the AI bubble. It has $130B in debt and is taking on hundreds of billions more in data-center obligations based on a $300B contract with OpenAI over 5 years. The problem is many doubt OpenAI will make anywhere close to enough money to pay up.
