Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, plunging families into every parent's worst nightmare.

Now, Trump funding cuts threaten to close a Yale center that helps identify these children and bring them home.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

The Israeli Embassy shooting is horrifying.

And it comes than six weeks after a Trump supporter tried to assassinate Gov Josh Shapiro and his family.

Anti-Semitism, like all hate, is vile and must be eradicated.

The murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in D.C. tonight is horrifying. This is what happens when antisemitic propaganda is permitted to go unaccountable. We cannot condone hateful rhetoric against the Jewish community.

Mhairi is my favorite romance author, miles above the rest. I devour everything she writes and this one was no exception. I loved this!

If the Democrats don’t make an absolute buffet out of this group chat national security scandal, primary each and every one of them. It’s literally on a silver platter.

I love how much it has haunted me since I read it, and yet I recommend it to everyone. So many feelings when reading it, and wish I could read it again for the first time! It truly is a masterpiece.

It might’ve rained today in South Yorkshire, but it didn’t stop me from getting some cute daisies for my nails 💅 🌼

Conclave robbed. Jesse Eisenberg robbed. Anora wasn’t good. At all. Glad this years #oscars season is over. Blegh.

Finally watched The Brutalist and unsure what to think. All I’m hoping for tomorrow’s #oscars is for Conclave to win Best Picture, and for Jessie Eisenberg to win for Best Original Screenplay.

Aaaaaaand nothing for Emilia Perez.

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America.

It’s already starting to be a shitty Monday, two job rejection emails before 10am. A new record!

Would just like to read books forever instead of working please and thank you.

the Jewish community is united in our heartbreak about the Bibas family.

no resistance movement can justify kidnapping and murdering babies. it can't be argued or minimized with vapid whataboutism.

this line can't be uncrossed.

So deserved. Absolutely phenomenal film with great performances, and cinematography (which it sadly wasn’t nominated for).
