A beautiful tribute to the animals who have endured this war alongside their humans--

Cartoon showing a jungle with dangerous animals. An ape looks a lot like Donald Trump, while a snake has a head resembling Putin. A poisonous frog looks a lot like Netanyahu, while a large spider has the head of Kim Jong Un. In a river swims a crocodile with the head of Xi Jinping. A house in the middle of the jungle has a walled garden and a flagpole with a European flag in it. A man is mowing the lawn as he looks at the various dangerous animals surrounding him.

In hostile territory. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje...

Trump 'blocked from accessing nuclear codes' by head of US military US President Donald Trump is alleged to have received push-back from a senior military person in a meeting at the White House during an attempt to access his country's nuclear codes

Allegedly tRump tried to grab the nuclear codes in a White House meltdown—only for the Joint Chiefs chairman to stand up and say “No.” Apparently, even the military knows this unhinged man is too dangerous for the football. How much longer can America risk it?

Researching China isn’t easy. With many foreign sites blocked, journalists depend on domestic platforms. Even under tight controls, Chinese apps are the main window into the country. Chu Yang’s latest guide explains how to research Xiaohongshu (Rednote). www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

Trump tariff refunds begin but consumers likely to miss out — BBC News Businesses can apply online through a portal for refunds expected to total $160bn.

Once again. This administration screws over the average worker who paid dearly in higher consumer prices for goods and services.

Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia, speaking to an audience. (Mike Stewart / Associated Press)

Jon Ossoff: "Draft Dodging Donald loves sending other people’s children to war—

While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions of dollars — bc they’re crooks, & everybody knows it”

🇱🇻 FM Baiba Braže: Ukrainians stabilized the front, and Russia is unable to advance. The stronger Ukraine is on the battlefield, the better our chances for a long-lasting peace. That kind of peace requires Russia not getting what it wants, meaning not achieving its objectives.

LT. GEN. HERTLING: Ukraine is very proud nation fighting for its territorial integrity and sovereignty. And anyone who suggests that they should give up territory to get a peace deal is out of their mind.

And good Lord, isn’t that what United States fought for 250 years ago?

Five (FIVE) ships of Russia's Black Sea Fleet were under strikes by Ukrainian Defenders in recent days.

Wow.

All Russian Project 775 large landing ships that were in the bay at the time of the operations were struck by Ukraine.

(Ukrainian housewives do have some cards, I might add)⤵️

These are the stories of animals harmed by Russia’s war in #Ukraine - ones I have written about over the years. Sadly, there are many more.

Do you remember them? Which story stayed with you the most?

How the Trump Administration Is Quietly Defunding HBCUs Despite Donald Trump's false claim that he "saved HBCUs," he is overseeing the biggest economic attack on historically Black college institutions in U.S. history.

Donald Trump claims he “saved historically Black colleges.”

According to college administrators, HBCU presidents and the actual data, Trump is overseeing the worst attack on these institutions in American history.

"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking

Why conservatives think they own religion From the Moral Majority to Trump portraying himself as Jesus, the right thinks religion belongs to them.

im never gonna let the world forget this about kash patel

"His main qualification, in Trump’s eyes, appears to have been a series of children’s books he wrote as thinly disguised fiction praising Trump and promoting conspiracies. Patel even inserted himself in the books as a wizard character."

If this were anyone else, I think it would fly right by.

But people with Nazi tattoos should proceed with caution. Hand waves and raised-arm gestures in freeze frame can feed a very real existing narrative.

Just sayin.
