We have betrayed the most noble allies. It is a stain that will stay with us for a long time. https://youtu.be/h4RIiBpfxnU

We are just getting started with the staining, unfortunately….

America is heading in the same direction- a population of the haves and have nots. trump is trying to groom for a docile cowed population which he has succeeded in doing so in the Republican house and senate.

It’s not most of the people it’s the orange turd and his clones! I hope they get the message that most of us are supporting them against Putin!

Trump & Musk are cancers to America and the free world.

Gazprom tower, in russia. Where abject poverty lies right next to obscene wealth.
Russia today.
America tomorrow.

We've got to keep showing up, and making our voices heard. To give up, is compliance.

Today I am ashamed to be a U. S. Citizen. My deepest apologies to Ukraine.

Cowed and docile? That's not in the American psyche.

Yes, this is where we are heading, the money class vs everyone else. Listened to CNBC, it’s a parade of proTrump investors and politicians gaslighting the viewers. The only ones who are going to come out of this chaos are the rich.

I'm ashamed to be an American.

Before the enlightened geniuses start commenting, perhaps verify: What is the current U.S. inflation rate and national debt ? And where exactly did the 4.5 million Ukrainian refugees tracked by EU statistics go?

Every sane person on the planet is in shock. What's unravelling before our eyes is a dystopian fever-dream worse than any of us could have imagined.

Americans have no idea what it is like to live under an autocratic dictatorship. MAGA believed the lies that they lived in a country that was in decline. Now we will all be subjected to a country truly in decline. The loss of democracy & American values will split the country apart.

And trashing generations of friendship between nations here at home...

Ukraine is what democracy is all about. I wanted to fight, I still do, but my country prohibits it. But why? If there is injustice in the world, why should the righteous of freedom be banned. I am 53 years old, I have lived a life of trial and hardship. Why would I wish that on any other.

Thanks in part to the Robert’s court? And the installed judges through the network that brought us P25, the platform R’s lied about to help get their guy in office.

It’s never been about efficiency. It’s tearing down the US strength, security, economy, health and education for the benefit of the tinpot war criminal and allow the uberrich to pick up assets cheap in a recession.

We need to retake our democracy to help democracies under attack.

Russia is on the brink of economic collapse. Inflation almost 8%. They've spent every dollar on the war in Ukraine. They're down 5 million workers who have fled the country. Guess who Putin will come calling to to bail him out. And guess who owes him a favor for the election? Who pays? US taxpayers!

Well, if it can, it might & THAT could trigger a lot of kinetics. 🤔
