If you only watch one video today, let it be this one. And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Don’t fuck with Vermont. They’re small, cold, tough and practical.

I was asked by @nataliebrender.bsky.social where my usual instinct for optimism stood in this historical moment (I do believe a degree of whiggish optimism is an important component of secular morality). My initial answer was “in the basement.” On reflection, I offered this perverse case for hope:

And you too KAREN!!!

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

The parade of nations for the LA Olympics should be quick.

PubMed has been down for at least 11 hours and we are EXTREMELY concerned. We hope it’s mere incompetence and not an official action. If any of our followers have media events today, please mention it.

Zelensky has more patience in his little finger than I've ever had in my entire life.

WSJ editorial board: "But as with the war, Mr. Zelensky didn’t start this Oval Office exchange. Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years?"

The world knows who the villains are (Russia and the US) and who the hero is (Zelensky). The history books will be kind to him and brutal to us.

Anyway. Congratulations to Russia on winning the Cold War. The long game worked.

What sort of country tries to make Zelensky look like a pariah yet welcomes in the Tate boys?

We'll be losing Allies as long as the current president stays in office.

Europe. Ain't Playing

One thing I can’t get out of my head is that zelensky speaks English as a foreign language and then you have these two arrogant men just shouting over him. Really primal, schoolyard bully stuff.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: “Trump claims to put "America First," but repeatedly makes deals and statements that put Putin first.” www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

no lie, this Cavs team is like sound functioning infrastructure in every possible way. • no drama • smart investments • found value in trades • good leadership • undervalued • can manage a deficit • knows load management • country pays no attention • just works

WOW Just watched the clips of the Orange Buffoon embarrassing our nation in front of one of the bravest men alive; President Zelenskyy. Words don't get it, but surely this is one of this nations most shameful days. Unbelievable Please accept our most humble apologies

Of course I signed in support of President Zelenskyy & Ukraine. 🇺🇦 I also donated to help Ukraine.

You know why Trump, Vance. & all those Repubs hate Zelennsky? Because those mofos do not understand how he stands solidly and strongly by his country IN A WAR ZONE with his massive balls, while they would have bailed with their shriveled up little pecans. Worthless weak cowardly pieces of excrement.

Yup!

If you mean that, stop collaborating with your Kremlin-owned Republican Party. Leaving the GOP (Government of Putin) would be the ultimate resistance move and would make a statement an action.

JD "Couchman" Vance implied that Zelenskyy had not thanked the US for support when Vance blew up the Oval Office meeting yesterday. The inimitable @ddale8.bsky.social found 33 public instances in English where Zelenskyy did. There are more in Ukrainian, no doubt. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Texas officials and RFK Jr have portrayed the outbreak in Texas as isolated to a religious community. This is a way to both evade blame and claim it’s a problem of “others”. This is a lie. The antivax sentiment driving this is not a feature of Mennonite beliefs.

A neat illustration of who is on what side in this.

For the dunces in the back: Canada - ally Denmark/ Greenland - ally Panama - ally Mexico - ally UK - ally EU - ally South Korea - ally Ukraine - ally Russia - NOT AN ALLY There is a Manchurian candidate (now president) in the WH!!!

I’m not embarrassed by what the US president did. I am ASHAMED. I am DISGUSTED. I am appalled. I am horrified. I am enraged. Not in my name!! Unforgivable.

When you've lost Karl Rove.

As the nation reels from the humiliating actions of Trump and his Russian allies. A collective gasp of disbelief can be heard around the world. The US President is insane. In a rational world congress would declare the him unfit and remove him. Call your reps, specifically the GOP 202 224 3121

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

I’ve watched enough mafia movies to know that if you’re gonna shakedown a pillar of the community, you do it in private, you make it clear they’re not to tell anyone, maybe you put a couple of your goons on the front door so no one comes in. Because it’s shameful. You don’t do it on live television

Hey US media - as you cogitate about the pure shit done by Trump yesterday to Zelensky, you should not ignore the fact that Trump got impeached the first time for trying to extort Zelensky. I mean - that should be foundational to any argument you make in a story on Ukraine.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

When America has your back — the weekly illustration from The Economist

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:
