Evidence of one of the most horrific crimes in American history . . .

The Trump-Epstein library, essentially, the Epstein files in analog—is intended to represent the staggering scale of Epstein’s crimes, as well as the impunity with which he carried them out.

The Trump-Epstein files must be released and the rapists along with the co-conspirators brought to justice.

'What we've seen is despicable': Dems hold hearing with Epstein survivors that Epstein-republicans won't.

Jeffrey Epstein and hundreds of rapists left a trail of over 1,200 victims. Those are just the ones who lived.

At the #Epstein hearing in West Palm Beach, Florida, survivors of Trump best friend Epstein abuse testified publicly. For the first time, a survivor identified as “Rosa" spoke publicly about how #Epstein exploited her immigration status. Democratic Congressman Maxwell Frost, member of the House Oversight Committee who attended the hearing, joins MS NOW to discuss why Democrats felt this hearing was necessary and why he says it's "despicable" how republicans are handling the Epstein investigation. They are co-conspirators to #Epstein child trafficking ring.

Joint efforts remain essential to ensure the return of all #Ukrainian children and to hold accountable those responsible for forced deportation, forced adoption, re-education, Russification, and militarization of #Ukrainian children. We are grateful to our partners for increasing pressure through sanctions.

🇬🇧 The #UnitedKingdom has sanctioned 85 individuals and entities.
🇨🇦 #Canada is imposing sanctions on 23 individuals and 5 organizations.
🇪🇺 The #EuropeanUnion sanctions target 16 individuals and 7 organizations.

“These measures target not only individuals and entities, but also the entire machinery behind the forced deportation and assimilation of #Ukrainian children. This is not politics. It is about protecting children, defending human dignity, and upholding international law,” stated #Ukraine 's Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha. 👉 Arrest wanted war criminal Putin

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that as of 7:00 on Friday, May 8, more than 140 strikes on frontline positions and 10 assault operations had been recorded. Russian forces also carried out more than 850 drone strikes using various types of UAVs.

Over the course of last night, the terrorist russian army continued to strike Ukrainian positions. As of 7 a.m., more than 140 strikes recorded.

Putin invaded Ukraine 12.5 years ago, kidnapped 4 million Ukrainians, including 700,000 Ukrainian children; is indicted by the International Criminal Court for genocide against #Ukraine; violated the ceasefire but demands Ukraine allow his propaganda parade for starting World War II

Drag the whole kremlin criminal regime to a war crimes tribunal. russia is a terrorist state.

russia invaded Crimea and Donbas region of #Ukraine in February 2014, which was 12 years and 3 months ago. Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine started 4 years and 3 months ago.

#Ukrainian defenders have been protecting their families, friends, homes, towns and nation from the full-scale invasion for 1,529 days.

In Donbas, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea, Ukrainians have been resisting the russian terrorist invaders for 4,473 days.

On behalf of Americans who support #Ukraine, we stand firm in our commitment to a free, independent, democratic, and sovereign Ukraine, capable of defending itself and deterring future aggression. Give every weapon in the arsenal of democracy to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

They need partners to deliver air defense and weapons- speak up for Ukraine. Thank you.

@[email protected] There are good Russian reasons for Russia to attack Europe soon. The fact that it doesn't make sense to us didn't stop them from attacking Ukraine either.

Please listen to me explain why Russian reasoning for war is different to ours here in Europe, and we ignore those differences at our own peril!

Why Viktor Orban’s defeat matters — especially against fash right-wing movements.

There is global alignment and coordination between the fascist far-right, tech-nazis and the Moscow KGB, and it poses a massive threat.

What does the Iran war have to do with sustaining the russian economy? Lifting sanctions for russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for russia to continue its genocidal war against #Ukraine

The Financial Times reports that russia is earning $150m per day in additional revenue from oil sales, making putin the "biggest winner" from the Middle East war.

President Zelenskyy: russian oil is money for the war. On board are over 12 million tons of russian oil, which, due to the easing of sanctions, can be sold without consequences. That is $10 billion – a resource that is directly converted into more war crimes against Ukraine.

Terrorist russia invaded Crimea and Donbas Ukraine Feb 2014, that was 12 years, 2 months ago. russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine began over 4 years ago. This war could easily be brought to end, but felon-Trump and his regime consistently choose to side with the aggressor.

Listen to Prof. Tim Snyder

GABRIELIUS LANDSBERGIS:
The Baltic States could treat Zelenskyy’s warnings with respect

If Zelenskyy is warning us that Russia might attack the Baltics, I think he probably has a pretty good reason.

Lithuania has also declared readiness to contribute to opening the Strait of Hormuz.
​
Vilnius is considering sending logistics personnel and sappers to assist the United States, although the support “will not fundamentally change the situation,” said presidential adviser Deividas Matulionis.
​
➡Earlier, Latvia and Estonia also expressed willingness to take part in demining the Strait of Hormuz.

🎞️Time for more abandoned places on 35mm film! A collection of Soviet-era murals, scattered across Latvia and Lithuania. Captured on a 1950s USSR-made film camera.

Captured on Kodak Ektar, I selected this film for its ability to capture colourful scenes vividly. This film is so fine-grained; it captures the smallest details, producing smooth and crisp images (when exposed correctly!).

It did not disappoint!

A rogue president.

His illegal war.

$2Billion dollars wasted every day.

Mounting deaths and destruction.

No clear purpose or goal.

Oil and gas prices soaring.

Future terrorism unleashed for years to come.

Killing thousands of innocent civilians.

Killing American military persons.

Enriching child kidnapper war criminal Putin.

Taking #Ukrain 's defense weapon from Ukraine.

Taking Ukraine's best trained defenders out of Ukraine.

Hi Fediverse!

After hovering around here for a long time as a passive observer, I've decided to be more of an active participant, and try to do the #introduction thingy.

I'm #autistic, so obviously the only good way to introduce myself is by making a long list of topics I think too much about. Besides the standard Fedi topics, I'll be tooting about:

‣ The surreal experience of growing up in the #Baltics in the 90s, and why the last half a decade of geopolitical events unfolding has made my hair go gray.
‣ Deconstructing bad takes about " #EasternEurope " I keep hearing from fellow leftists in the west. About the othering that comes with just being born there, often even in #radical spaces.
‣ A long and confusing journey of understanding my fluid #gender experience, after growing up in one of the more #queer unfriendly regions of #Europe.
‣ Observations from a decade of hedonistic escapism in the #Amsterdam "underground" #techno scene. About performative politics, gatekeeping and classism in the scene, and why we need to make dance music political again.
‣ The absurdity that has been happening since #techbros took over the #psychedelics space.

Unfortunately, I don't have a cat to post pictures of. However, I have made friends with the local murder of #crows, hopefully that works!
