This is your daily reminder that you have millions of friends and allies in the EU.

Also, I read the other day that a whooping 73% majority of EU citizens wanted #Ukraine in the EU. This gives me hope for good sense and decency to grow and prosper. Ukraine has defended the freedom and safety of Europe with the blood of its citizens. They deserve membership.

Violent Saudi dictator, Bonesaw Mohamed bin Salmon who "invested" 2 billion in Jared Kushner's new "company," also uses Saudi fund to give untold millions to Trump's golf courses.

Trump's shady dealings don't just affect US National Security, but all of the 5 Eyes intelligence alliance (Canada ,Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States).

Are all the top secret documents Trump stole accounted for? Were they photocopied? 5 Eyes have reasons for deep concern.

'I think Thiel is right: crypto is the ultimate technology of libertarianism, the final frontier of discovery. He just missed the second footfall, which is that, through crypto, we will discover that libertarianism is bullshit.'

Elon Musk’s overhaul of Twitter has been accompanied by an increase in digital harassment of religious and ethnic minorities in some of its largest markets outside the United States — and it’s beginning to wreak havoc in the physical world as well, according to current and former employees and experts studying the issue.

Deep down, I think we all know that if you have a machine like this, you’re unanimously the bad guy, right?

Never allow Republicans to forget.

@futurebird The Collatz conjecture, and the fact that no proof of it has yet been possible, is wild to me.

If a number is even, halve it; if it’s odd triple it and add one. Do the same with each result you get and the sequence of numbers always resolves to 1. Every time. For every positive integer.

Russian oligarchy works like this: Putin lets them steal. In return, they do him favors that advance his goals. One goal is to influence US policy. Another: smear Western democracy as corrupt, dysfunctional, while dividing & weakening us. IRA troll farm, Trump Tower meeting, Kilimnik “peace plan”—all oligarch-connected.

A crook like George #Santos humiliates our system—a win for #Putin, a kudo for #oligarch #Vekselberg.

@Free_Press Time for the Putin-regime to be brought before an international tribunal.

“We can’t afford any more losses! Oh no! Oh my God! They’re shooting us down one by one. Don’t forget that. Because they are. Killing us one by one.”

—Nina Simone, April 7, 1968 during her performance of “Why? (The King Of Love Is Dead)”, on Black artists and Black activists killed or who died

(Simone dedicated her April 7, 1968 performance to Dr. King’s memory)
