And get some toilets installed 😂

Trump saying it is OK that Russia is helping Iran kill Americans has even the most MAGA-addled unable to respond. They have nowhere to go, except express blind loyalty to their master. If he says it, it must be right.

Make no mistake, Russian soldiers have committed atrocities in Ukraine — things we haven’t seen since WWII. Over 25,000 people, including women and children, were slaughtered in Mariupol alone, and Russia continues to bomb cities, schools and hospitals. Sickening.

?

😂

Day 1473 of Russia's despicable war on Ukraine and war crimes literally every day.

Here's another daily thread starting minutes after I closed the last one, followng an all-night vigil, detailing the long-feared multi missile attack.

All the news, all the time, every single day!

I used to consider George and the neo-cons the absolute low: ignorant, immoral and hubristic. Yet those guys were paragons of virtue compared to the horde of idiotic, self aggrandizing thieves, murderers, extortioners and traitors that is the current Trump administration.

Current administration is burning down all your institutions as we speak. Be careful what you wish for.

And sooner than you might think.

Russia just crashed a five‑story apartment building onto people’s heads in the middle of the night‼️

The building is simply gone! It was homes, families.

Such bastards…

Thanks!

The Oligarchical Corridor A Source of War

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

Love HardCore history!

Trump cut off supplies of Sidewinder missiles for Ukraine’s F-16s, which limited their ability to prevent Russian strikes on Ukraine’s cities during the dead of winter when Putin ramped up attacks. And yet, when we need help with interceptor drones for Iran, they offered it. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

AOC points out how each new hasty military invasion coincides with a different release of the Epstein files.

No wonder we’re in the shit.

Jimmy Kimmel tonight: The reason Trump hasn't testified yet about the Epstein files is you can't put him under oath. If he swears to tell the truth, he's already committed perjury.
😆

Only 57% of Americans currently disapprove of Trump. Trump may leave the scene at some point. Those 43% will still be around. Europe needs to decouple, NOW!

Too few people are talking about the most interesting revelation in the Epstein files.

Epstein admitted to helping Russian Ambassador Churkin understand Trump, and later tried to do the same for Lavrov.

Given the dirt Epstein had, it is highly likely Trump is compromised

If Trump wants Europe to properly back him on Iran, the math is simple.

Help Ukraine and stop hitting us with constant threats and tariffs.

Unfortunately, he is far too dumb and compromised to understand how basic alliances work

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Zelensky highlighting the moral and strategic poverty of the USA under Trump. In the last year Trump has ended all military aid for Ukraine, has undermined Ukrainian air defense, has tried to bully Ukraine in handing over territory, and has rolled out the red carpet for Putin.

On russian TV, Mariupol is a picture-perfect ‘liberated city,’ brought back to normal life.

In reality, it lays in ruins. Empty neighborhoods, left by russian bombardments, are hastily hidden behind facades.

The only things russia can bring are death, misery and desolation.

Russia is sending election operatives to Hungary to prop up Orban. The dirty tricks to support Putin’s puppet in the EU will be off the chart.

I regret to inform you...
