russia says Ukraine never existed. Yet my ancestors lived here. They spoke Ukrainian. They kept our culture alive. Empires tried to erase our language, Our history, Our identity. But here I am. Born in Donbas. Ukrainian by choice. They couldn’t erase my ancestors. And they won’t erase me🇺🇦

The Trump administration proposed charging universities $70,000 for each international student seeking work experience in America, plus $30,000 for renewals. The American internship has officially entered the luxury real estate price bracket. #StudentVisas

Oversight records show rooms for agents at $1,185 a night, five times the government rate and 24 times the $50 the company advertised. The released slice tops $1.4 million. That is the visible tip. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Trump's Iran War has spiked food prices by raising the cost of fertilizer and fuel. His cuts to FDA and HHS have made foodborne illness outbreaks harder to contain. And his SNAP cuts have made it even harder for millions to feed themselves. He's making America hungry again.

So it was actually five guys trying to steal diesel from farms in the area around that US airbase in the UK and not terrorists. They’ve all been released on bail and it’s not a terrorist plot. Although US intelligence will be very slow on the uptake on this.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

The image is a poster with a bold message painted in large, green, brushstroke-style letters on a dark background. It reads:
“FIGHT POVERTY NOT THE POOR”

The style is raw and expressive, conveying urgency and social activism. At the bottom, it includes the text “Poor People’s Campaign | poorpeoplescampaign.org” and credits the design to Jesse Purcell, 2017.

A 'peace' of Ukraine.
A black-and-white political cartoon featuring four minimalist stick figures arranged horizontally against a plain white background, illustrating a critique of foreign perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine war.
From left to right, the scene unfolds as follows:
• The Aggressor (Far Left): A stick figure facing right holds a detailed grey assault rifle directly at the next figure's face. A grenade and a knife hang from its waist. A rectangular Russian flag (horizontal stripes of white, blue, and red) is pasted across its upper chest. A speech bubble above its head reads in bold black text: "I will destroy you and take all your land."
• The Victim (Center-Left): A stick figure stands defenseless, leaning backward with its hands raised in a gesture of retreat or surrender. A rectangular Ukrainian flag (horizontal blue and yellow stripes) is pasted across its chest. It looks at the armed figure with a sad, worried expression.
• The First Detractor (Center-Right): A stick figure faces left, pointing an angry finger at the Ukrainian figure. It wears a bright red baseball cap with the letters "MAGA" in white. Its mouth is wide open in a yell.
• The Second Detractor (Far Right): A stick figure stands closely behind the MAGA figure, also facing left with a stern, angry glare. It is drawn with a red torso and wears a grey, Soviet-style ushanka winter hat featuring a small red star emblem on the front.
A joint speech bubble originates from both the MAGA and Soviet-hatted figures, pointing directly at the Ukrainian figure. It reads in bold black text: "Ukraine, why don't you want peace? Make peace with Russia!"
