Vladimir Putin’s investment in Donald Trump pays off bigly After secretly helping Trump's last three presidential campaigns, Russia is getting its money's worth from him.

Talk about a good ROI—Vladimir Putin’s investment in Donald Trump is sure paying off.

In the ’80s, the American public had a much more rudimentary understanding of colonialism’s dependence on racism than it does today. But even kids in high school knew that apartheid was wrong, and famine was wrong, and that these two things happening in Africa were somehow connected, and connected to America’s dark racial history, and to the music we listened to and the future we hoped we represented. Our parents didn’t have childhood friendships across races and sexes—that would have been mostly impossible. But we did. We were naive (the white kids far more than the Black kids, it must be said) but not wrong in feeling that, even as we eye-rolled and camped it up when we sang along, that we are the children…we’re saving our own lives / It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me.

Mother Jones' editor-in-chief @clarajeffery.bsky.social evokes history to contextualize why USAID was first on the chopping block and the significance of widespread protests today.

"If you think mass protests can’t combat evil, remember what we did in the 1980s."

In Trump’s Washington, a Moscow-Like Chill Takes Hold A new administration’s efforts to pressure the news media, punish political opponents and tame the nation’s tycoons evoke the early days of President Vladimir V. Putin’s reign in Russia.

"The oligarchs kissing the ring, the lawsuits against the media, the constraints on which media should be in the White House pool, and which are not — all that sounds familiar": How Trump's Washington feels like the early days of Putin's Moscow. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Opinion | Trump’s Misguided Strategies for Peace in Ukraine In their silence, Republicans are betraying the Ukrainians, national security and their own party’s values.

President Trump's approach to the war in Ukraine is a reversal of the last three years, the editorial board writes, "but also a repudiation of a nearly eight-decade core belief that the United States was safer in a world where it stood against aggression and authoritarianism and for freedom."

Please don't use Nancy Mace's so-called victim hotline, advocates say No one picks up. That's not a hotline—it's Nancy's answering machine.

That so-called hotline Nancy Mace claimed to set up to encourage victims to come forward?

Nobody actually answers—and leading domestic violence advocates in Mace’s home state say they don’t want victims to call. @juliannemcshane.bsky.social has the scoop:

White House Orders C.I.A. to Send an Unclassified Email With Names of Some Employees The list of partial names was provided in an effort to comply with an executive order to trim the federal work force.

The White House ordered the CIA to send an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force, in a move that former officials say risked the list leaking to adversaries.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)
