A resounding repudiation of the most egregious individual to hold political office, whose two decades of rhetoric has cultivated hatred at an unprecedented scale globally.

russia hit Ukraine’s energy infrastructure again.
Kyiv is struggling with power outages, the subway from the Left Bank of the Dnipro won’t run.
People just trying to get to work, kids to school and this is what russia calls “war.” It’s pure terrorism. #UkrainianView

Ukraine needs adequate military support from its allies right now. It’s still not too late to hold Russia accountable. Every second of delay costs Ukraine its people and Europe its security and future. The hard decisions not made today will only be harder and costlier to make tomorrow.

⚡️Russia killed a 7-year-old boy in Zaporizhzhia — the son of a Ukrainian soldier just freed after three years in Russian captivity.

The father is in critical condition, and the family’s new home lies in ruins.

Behold the false preacher who distorts God's Word to lead his congregants astray.

“Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says the LORD.

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 1d

A White Christian nationalist pastor argued recently on a right-wing podcast that the Bible--specifically Deuteronomy 21, about how a father must bring his rebellious son to the town square to be stoned--justifies state violence against Black boys and young men.

It appears that America might have to take a page from Portugal's Revolução dos Cravos - a popular uprising that ultimately led to the overthrow of its dictatorial regime through a military coup.

As feeble a man Scholz was, thank goodness Merkel weren’t Chancellor during the full-scale invasion, otherwise Leopards and other weapons systems - beneficial to Ukraine - wouldn’t have been sent.

Fascism occurs twice: first as the tragedy of a Second World War started by men who fought the First and knowingly chose slaughter, then as the farce of an ignorant draft dodger trying to provoke a war against his own people.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
