Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time
Screenshot of a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reporting a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv targeting critical energy infrastructure, including the CHPP-4 power plant. Zelenskyy says a residential building was also damaged and caught fire, warns of further Russian missile attacks, and criticizes the lack of advance warnings from Ukraine’s partners. An accompanying nighttime photo shows flames engulfing part of a multistory residential building, with debris scattered across the ground.

7,080 people were struck and killed while walking in 2024, more than in any year from 1982 to 2020. Federal transportation law expires this year. Congress should tie highway money to falling death counts and penalize states that miss targets. www.smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hu...

Speak by @halseanderson.bsky.social was the 2nd most-banned book in the U.S. during the 2025-26 school year. Anderson told us about the rage she feels over the case of alleged gang rape at Cornell & how our society fails young people when we deprive them of the chance to learn about sex and consent.

If the Dems regain control and don’t push and pass universal healthcare, they don’t deserve to be elected or trusted. Medicare for All would do more to put $ in people’s pockets than anything else we could do. #MedicareForAllNow

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

Dirty politics is a global business. "A small number of influencers circulate a sensational accusation. Prominent political allies repeat it and engage with it. Musk joins the conversation. The claim gains visibility before the public has any opportunity to evaluate the evidence."

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

One of the key lessons from Dutch cycling history is cities didn't start with protected lanes. They began by making streets safer, calmer and more inviting; with lower speeds, parking restrictions, traffic filters and reduced through-traffic to create an environment in which cycling could flourish.🧵
