Everyone should see this. Everything trump does in his administration is beginning to make a lot more sense...

A very detailed explanation why Putin can't end this war from a man with a profound knowledge of both Russian history and current realities.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Anthropic CEO worries we're 6-12 months away from a swarm of AI agents capable of taking over the ENTIRE internet

Calls for immediate, global 1-2 year slowdown in AI development

Time to trust the people building the technology over the people merely investing in it

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch.
Let's go.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Good for @tarapalmeri. Wow! Silence. I've wondered this for a long time. Who is paying Michael Tracey to harass and smear Epstein's survivors? Which powerful men are behind this propaganda effort?

[Marvin Baumann @MarvinTBaumann]

We Germans know what fascism looks like.

My dear Americans, those of you who are still sane. You need to resist with everything that you have.

Use the first, second and whatever other amendment at your disposal.

The very existence of your republic and democracy is at stake.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

This is absolutely insane. Monstrous.

It’s also infuriating that MAGA thinks our government is owed any kind of respect or support by anyone - Olympians, U.S. citizens, foreigners. The U.S. is currently right up there with the worst human rights abusers.

[Julian Röpcke 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦 @JulianRoepcke]

Not sure people understand how dangerous it is to rewrite history.
As a German, I can tell you: this is the recipe for heading into the abyss.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

I typically don't like to be alarmist but any student of history would tell you: all the lights are blinking scarlet red.

I mean:
- Massive military expansion: check (see below)
- Annexation threats: check
- Demonstrated willingness to use force unilaterally: check
- New imperial doctrine proclaimed: check
- Withdrawal from international organizations and international treaties: check

At this stage we're not even watching warning signs anymore. We're watching the thing itself, in motion.

The only way the world stops this train is to put differences aside and form a balancing coalition. Otherwise the dominos will keep falling one after the other.

Hope of self-restraint of a rogue great power isn't historically a very successful strategy. Self-restraint requires either institutions (now being exited) or norms (now being shredded). The only thing that can bring it back is fear of consequences.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Renee Good was trying to drive away.

The ICE agent shot her twice through her side window.

The ICE agent walked away uninjured.

We all saw this on video. They all know we saw this on video.

They're lying about it for the same reason they lie about everything: they think they can get away with anything, even murder.

They are despicable, garbage human beings.

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

Remember, there was video of January 6, too. Lots and lots of video. Way more than of this. They actually *did* assault and kill cops. But they convinced half the country that they didn’t see what they saw—or that it wasn’t that bad.

Remember all of it.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Why have Americans become so mean, sad, and alienated? The answer is simple, @nytdavidbrooks argues. People no longer grow up learning how to be decent to one another: https://t.co/Lr6seNcD00

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Carol of the Bells in Kyiv subway.

Voices of the Embassies of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom came together to perform Shchedryk in the Kyiv metro as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine.

Thankful to everyone who stands with us!

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

He was married to a Us citizen and arrested at his green card appointment. His family says his health deteriorated because they would not give him the right diet to manage his diabetes. Rest in peace and may the bastards whose neglect killed him face justice.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

WSJ reporting Putin studied psychological profiles of the officials around Trump, and was behind an effort to promote Witkoff as U.S. Envoy. Trump once again getting played as a #PutinPuppet
I gifted this so you can read it.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

A senior White House official is caught on tape accepting $50K in cash in a paper bag in exchange for steering contracts, and that person will go to work on Monday, and the entire GOP will be fine with it.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

There always was Trump/Russia. There still is Trump/Russia.

The early actions of the Trump administration signal the continuing force of Trump/Russia.

Feel free to add to the list, but here’s my list.

Note: It’s only been a month.

Trump should be in prison not the White House.
