This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.

Kremlin couldn’t write a better script
Ukraine has “already lost” the war against Russia, says @Alice_Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany party, which is leading German opinion polls. She told @zannymb, that Germany should pull the plug on support for Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s invasion. Watch the full interview at 6pm London time (1pm in New York): bit.ly/4yrcX9s

“I think it is a bit unusual that we have a leader with such power, which the president of the United States has, who happens to be such an inadequate leader for the world.” Former Irish President Mary Robinson reflects on the importance of rule of law and her view of the Trump administration's conduct.

‼️ Russia hit Kyiv with 6 ballistic missiles. There was no warning of the launches, no air raid alert. People had no time to reach shelter. The attack is still ongoing.

Kharkiv is under heavy Russian attack tonight. An entire entrance of an apartment building is gone. People are trapped under the rubble. When Russia is desperate, it kills.

Bankrolling a Fascist War Machine and the Murder of Children: America's Ultimate Moral Collapse Just when you thought this country couldn't sink any lower under a spineless, power-mad tyrant, we hit absolute rock bottom with this sickening display of idiocy. By groveling before Vladimir Putin and trading our morality for Russian diesel, Trump has committed an unforgivable act of treason — he is a literal TRAITOR who belongs nowhere near the Oval Office. The calls for his immediate removal are a moral necessity. But the shame doesn't stop with him. Every single voter who still enables, defends, or blindly ignores this monster is completely complicit. As President Zelenskyy rightly called out this pathetic display of "obvious weakness," the ugly truth stares us in the face: our dollars are now actively filling the Kremlin’s war chest. Because of Trump's corruption and the public's spineless silence, the United States is officially bankrolling a fascist war machine and directly financing the slaughter, torture, and murder of innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.

Trump hopes his deal with Putin will get him through the mid-terms but this is about much more than fuel prices Rather than ending Russia’s war, the US is financing it, buying cheaper fuel with Ukrainian blood My @NewstalkFM interview with Pat Kenny... newstalk.com/podcasts/highli…

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up." What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today? Who struck an apartment building at 6 in the morning, wiping out entire families, including 5 small kids ON HIS BIRTHDAY!? ​You're sure you want to celebrate such a person instead of maybe mourning his victims? And they laughed in response. They fucking laughed! What the fuck is wrong with these people???

Friend, colleague, editor, mentor & one of my favourite people on the planet. Andy Sheppard showed us how to be serious about news & journalism, but never about ourselves. The best storyteller, the best company. Loved him dearly, will miss him terribly.

Every day is getting harder. The attacks on Kyiv barely stop. The hits get closer and closer. More people you know are wounded, lose their homes, or have their lives changed because of russia. And the most surreal part is slowly realizing that one day, it could be you.

Nothing says “fighting NATO expansion” quite like bombing a historic building of Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences in central Kyiv, forcing ordinary scientists to jump from windows to escape death in the fire. This has been done by fascist barbarians stripped of the last remnants of reason and conscience by impunity and endless appeasement, obsessed with senseless violence, destruction, and atrocities.
