BREAKING: Trump’s administration ordered NASA to shut down its largest library and throw the books in the trash. Not move them. Not save them. Destroy them. That’s not cost cutting. That’s straight up war on knowledge.

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.
BREAKING: Trump is illegally blocking the full Epstein files while demanding selective releases to smear his enemies. The law is being violated, victims are being erased, & the cover up is happening in plain sight.
He is not hiding it anymore. He is betting people are dumb enough to let it slide.

A tweet from MilitaryNewsUA with a Ukraine flag emoji. It reports that Sweden will not recognize Russia’s annexation of Ukrainian territories, quoting Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard. Below is a long block quote affirming that borders cannot be changed by force and that Ukraine’s armed forces and people must retain full sovereignty, including the path toward EU membership.
A screenshot of Sweden’s foreign minister speaking at a wooden podium inside a legislative chamber. The caption states that Sweden does not recognize Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea or other Ukrainian territory and will not reward aggression. The video overlay includes Ukrainian subtitles.
This is how it’s done, U.S. negotiators. Learn from other strong leaders how to deal with criminal aggressors.
this is mesmerizing

Comic panel; hesitantdoodle and Iain sit on a sofa looking haggard, Alfie between them squeaking incessantly. “One week later…”
For his birthday Alfie received the greatest gift any dog can hope for: a cheap squeaky pig toy 🙂↕️

DIE HARD (1988)
In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.
It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....
🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

He’s “President.” He has virtually full immunity. He’s capable of anything because he is a sociopath.
He has a cult following who is apparently ready to do ANYTHING he asks and they know pardons are always available.
He is a mob boss who uses extortion, physical threats and economic destruction.

I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.
Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
