Trump seems to think Ukraine and its govt will bend to his will. He's mistaken.
Zelenskyy: “The United States does not want Ukraine to be in NATO.

“What separate agreements the US has with Russia — we do not know.

“Over time all secrets come to light.”

I enjoyed doing this podcast about mental health and families. Of course I learned stuff about myself in the middle of talking about myself. Always a danger! Or opportunity, if you're into being more conscious (which I am, but often grudgingly).

The US wants five years of some tourists' social media to enter the country. Digital rights advocates say the plan is an affront to civil liberties.

📌Last year, Trump inherited an economy that according to the British magazine "The Economist" was "the envy of the world" coming off Covid.

It has taken him less than a year to completely wreck it.

Trumplethinskin creates his own version of reality & then expects us to believe it as if we don't have eyes, ears or functioning brains.

Please read this excellent, imperative piece by @gregggonsalves.bsky.social.

This is not the time to cede ground to the right-wing effort to destroy public health, and it won’t save anyone anyway.

It's time we stopped flinching at the assaults of the far right—and started fighting back.

I was pleased to again partner with virologist @jimalwine.bsky.social on this piece about the continued, insidious assault on public health by RFK Jr.

We are truly on a bullet train back to the dark ages; prisoners to Kennedy’s bizarre whims.

He is contemptible.

The president doesn’t have the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner.

Killing civilians is a crime under both domestic and international law. That's why we and our partners are suing the Trump administration to demand they release their legal justifications for these unlawful strikes.
BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to demand they release the secret memo they claim justifies their illegal strikes on civilians at sea.

Transparency must come immediately — while there’s still an opportunity to stop this cruel and unconstitutional bombing campaign.

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.
