My grandfather was Antifa. He flew this DC-9 in WWII to help kick a bunch of facist ass. Fuck all facist authoritarians.

Zelensky increasingly looks like the man holding the West’s future in his hands

Financial Times columnist Edward Luce argues that Volodymyr Zelensky has found himself in a unique position: simultaneously confronting Putin, facing pressure from Trump, and yet remaining one of the most recognizable and influential political figures in the world.

According to the author, Ukraine is playing an increasingly important role in shaping debates about the future of the EU, NATO, and European security. And with Europe’s largest and most battle-tested army, Kyiv now carries significant weight in those discussions.

While many Western politicians shift their positions according to polls and election cycles, Zelensky has spent the last four years defending the very values the West often claims to stand for.

@clashreport Yeah, about that...

I russi hanno sistemi di telecomunicazioni satellitari obsoleti, totalmente inadeguati a una guerra moderna.

Beh, da oggi non hanno più nemmeno quelli.

Gli ucraini hanno distrutto il centro di comunicazione spaziale Dubna, nell'area di Mosca, nodo chiave dell'infrastruttura satellitare russa, attraverso il quale operano canali di comunicazione, stazioni terrestri e manutenzione della rete satellitare.

Ora gli restano solo i piccioni viaggiatori.

Conan O'Brien says he'd rather fly commercial than private: “I like going through TSA”

“My rule is I'll fly on a private jet if someone else is paying for it. That's my rule. If someone is going somewhere and they say, ‘Hey, I'm also going there, you can fly with me,’ I'll go. But for the most part, I would rather educate my children. I fly commercial and I'm fortunate I get to fly in the part of the plane where I get some leg room, which is nice”

“I was shocked when I found out what people pay. It's insane. It's going to sound crazy, but I really like to go through and chat up the people at TSA. I don't mind taking the belt off. I like being in the world with other people that are traveling. And also, flying commercial is so smart if you don't want to go broke”

Abigail Disney famously shared what happened to her dad when he began flying private:

"So all of the sudden, we went from being comfortable, upper-middle-class people to suddenly my dad had a private jet. That's when I feel that my dad really lost his way in life..."

"If I were queen of the world, I would pass a law against private jets, because they enable you to get around a certain reality. You don't have to go through an airport terminal, you don't have to interact, you don't have to be patient, you don't have to be uncomfortable. These are the things that remind us we're human"

Amazon received $17.5 billion in tax subsidies last year and made $78 billion in profit. If they're so successful, why do taxpayers have to give them subsidies?

To buy our politicians and keep the grift going.

Look at the men in the comments 🙄

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Four years ago, the Supreme Court stripped away a fundamental Constitutional right and put abortion care out of reach for millions of Americans.

Today, we're sending a different message. With New York State, we are investing $495,000 to expand the NYC Abortion Access Hub, connecting more people to abortion care, medication, transportation, lodging and support services, no matter where they live.

Abortion is health care. Health care is a human right. We're protecting that right in New York City.

Let me be really clear about what just happened.

The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.

You don’t get to look away from this one.

This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.

Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.

Stay informed. Stay loud.

🇪🇸 Spain

​Benjamin Netanyahu: "Spain defamed Israeli soldiers, who are the most moral army in the world. I ordered Spain to be excluded from the military coordination center in Kiryat Gat."

​Spanish response – Minister Sira Rego:

​"We are not defaming you; we are describing you as you are."
"You are a system of extermination and crime, and you will all stand before the International Criminal Court."

🚨 Another disgrace by FIFA and the USA.

Mehdi Taremi and assistant coach Saeid Alhoei have been held back while the rest of the squad is on its way to Seattle, waiting for the two of them.

How long will FIFA and the United States continue to mistreat the Iranian national team?

@SportPoliBlend Americans are so propagandized and divided that they’d rather revolt against their own neighbors than the billionaires and both capitalist parties that serve the billionaires.

Ain’t no way Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are taking over Albania’s island to build a luxury resort. These people aren’t playing games. They understand their collective power and will burn it all down before they allow their land to be stolen. All power to the Albanian people!

Kyle Kulinski on Elon Musk: “You are the fraudster. You are the criminal. You are the one who’s robbing American taxpayers. It’s not these underfunded programs which keep people alive barely. Fuck you. This man belongs in prison for life. This man is a disgrace, he’s shameful, he’s disgusting, he’s pathetic, he has blood on his hands, and he is the biggest scammer maybe of all time only rivaled by Donald J. Trump”

Russian air defenses are showing serious, systemic problems.

My analysis of what went wrong during the latest Ukrainian strikes on Moscow — including the widely shared MANPAD failure and what it reveals about training, early warning, and command issues.
