Polish PM criticises presidential candidate for readiness to drop support for Ukraine’s NATO accession

Putin’s first and most important demand for #Ukraine and the West is to prevent Ukraine from joining #NATO. Nawrocki [opposition candidate] has just willingly subscribed to this demand.

@DrSprockets North Carolina Rep. Chuck Edwards is very happy to let the Trump administration tell him what the recommendations of the task force are, regardless of what the task force - of which Edwards is a member - has concluded independently.

@xs4me2

i remind myself of #fascist #spain under #franco and look at spain today

doesn't mean spain is utopia today

doesn't mean "it's going to be ok, relax"

it means getting better is real

but:

1. we have a lot fucking work to do

2. there is a lot of fucking suffering ahead of us

3. do not accept #pessimism #cynicism nor #capitulation

as long as we *fight* we can right this rotten ship

biggest ally of #maga:

lazy indifference

#americans:

get off your fucking asses and fight

Trump walks back #Tariffs after #Tesla boycott and $5 Trillion in Q1 losses.

US markets will attempt to rally on Monday and break a multi-month #bloodbath #redwave. Algorithm trading expected to dominate #volume.
