👀Trump just rescinded the rule designed to prevent bank collapses - and subsequent taxpayer bailouts of banks and their wealthy uninsured depositors.

The rule was put in place right after the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. https://www.levernews.com/bank-failures-for-all/

Rather than lower rates, Arkansas jail simply cancels all inmate phone calls

He is a drooling, brain-dead husk, incapable of reading, thinking, or grasping even the simplest logic. No reason, no focus, no plan—just a malfunctioning meat puppet spewing gibberish. A walking void, an unthinking parasite, a monument to stupidity so profound it defies comprehension. He is the death of intelligence-made flesh.

Trump got nothing. Putin tricked Trump into demanding that Ukraine can no longer bomb Russian oil refineries, while Putin can continue bombing civilians, and Ukraine can have 0 weapon deliveries for 30 days.

Trump truly possesses a lethal level of stupidity.

It is time the international community tells the wannabe dictator, that we do not deal with fools, and we will now help Ukraine send Putin's murderers back to Moscow.

Enough is enough.

“When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.”

So not disabled or incapacitated if you are under 22 years old…? Are you supposed to live on air? Not everyone has a home and parents; if in foster or state care can be thrown out at sixteen. This is monstrous, cruel and I hope it’s challenged in the courts. #Disability #Labour

The history of Kyiv, Ukraine's capitol, officially begins when it was founded in 482, but the city dates back more than 2,000 years. Archaeologists have dated the oldest known settlement in the area to 25,000 BC!

🇺🇦 Kyiv was a center of power and commerce, a state that flourished to grandeur unknown in the European world while Moscow remained an empty forest, where the darkness waited to rise.

💩moscow was founded in 1150, SIX-HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGTH YEARS after Kyiv 🇺🇦

With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, the Russian Federation became an independent country in 1991! KGB Putina does not know his pathetic history or is trying to hide it.

Dictator Donald just erased evidence of Russia’s child abductions, shielding Putin from war crimes. This isn’t diplomacy—it’s treason. He’s not ending a war; he’s helping a dictator cover up kidnapping and genocide. The message is clear: Trump serves Putin, not justice, not truth, and sure as hell not America.

Tim Walz on the offensive in Iowa!

If the rest of us do enough now to still have mid terms, efforts like this will be important. Plus, Walz and local Dems are right to stoke red district anger. Only way we can save democracy.

Trump is boosting Russia economically helping it when Russia was losing on the economy side and ultimately the war. We in Europe must not accept this. USA is letting Russia live and attack in the future.

A conservative friend of mine has changed their mind on trans issues based on having a trans grandchild. Why does it take knowing someone of a group to miraculously then understand them? You could just love and understand them without having to know them personally. It’s easy.

Some Hospitals Canceled Care for Trans Youth Despite Judge Blocking Trump Order

LGBTQ advocates accuse medical institutions of “obeying in advance” after Trump issued the anti-trans executive order.

Texas takes its first political prisoner under its fascist abortion ban, arresting a midwife at gunpoint like a violent criminal. Ken Paxton, a corrupt fraud, weaponizes the state to control women's bodies while letting actual killers walk free. This isn't about "life"—it's about power, oppression, and dragging America into theocratic authoritarianism.

The two NASA astronauts who were unexpectedly stranded on the space station for the last nine months have been picked up and are on the way back.

I'm imagining a conversation during the journey back:

Astronauts: So, what's been going on these last nine months?

Rescue Crew: [...]

Astronauts: TURN THIS THING AROUND RIGHT NOW.
