Mykhailo Rohoza @MykhailoRohoza During talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Pakistan, the topic of Ukraine unexpectedly came up. While discussing U.S. guarantees in the event that Iran halts uranium enrichment and abandons the development of nuclear weapons, the Iranian side asked how the United States is fulfilling the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which it pledged to respect and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty. The U.S. delegation left the question unanswered. 10:10 PM · Apr 20, 2026 · 321.4K Views

Tall children have a biological advantage in basketball & should be banned from playing high-school ball. It's not fair to the other students.
"Men don't like kids" is a weak take from someone doubtlessly unloved and without skill, but it did remind me that you can make friends with anyone under four years old by throwing them into the air twice

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.
Peter Thiel talks about “the West” because of his Lord of the Rings fetish, although it’s not clear how he continues to evade the realization that Tolkien would immediately throw him and all his works into Mount Doom
Without committing to specific numbers, a federal anti-SLAPP law for high-government officials should clearly be on the agenda of the next sentient Congress.
1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work"

"This couldn’t be a simpler scandal to sum up for the American people, if anyone cared to do so: This is Donald Trump ordering the looting of the public treasury for his own benefit."
"Trump’s behavior has been so erratic that any deal might be metaphysically impossible. One cannot make a bargain with an entity that is categorically incapable of behaving in a consistent manner." prospect.org/2026/04/20/t...

My heart is breaking for Shreveport, Louisiana.
Eight young lives stolen in a devastating act of domestic gun violence.
All of us should be outraged that we live in a country that routinely subjects our kids to such unimaginable violence.
A difficult concept to navigate properly is that *testing* is itself a major problem in education (most exemplified by the No Child Left Behind testing regimes. This can mean that the very tests revealing declines in learning are themselves part of what is causing the decline.
What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …
The plot to enslave America. The plot to enslave humanity. They are announcing it because they think we can no longer stop them
