Not uniquely evil for the U.S. to stand in solidarity with a despot aggressor and in opposition to a democracy when that democracy is inconvenient and the despot is convenient, but the Zelenskyy shakedown strikes me as uniquely unprofessional. Trump/Vance are sloppy mob henchmen, real Fredo shit.

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

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Those who voted for Donald Trump didn't know that they would lose their health care. He promised time and time again he wouldn't touch Medicaid — now he's blessed the House Republicans' plan to take it all away. He lies over and over again. It's time we wake up.

The Zelensky thing is very much like Trump's relationship with Fauci. The other guy was obviously right on the merits but positioning Trump to do something he didn't want to do, so Trump made them into a scapegoat. Then his base ran with it.

Watching Trump & Vance disrespect, talk over and yell at Zelensky felt like classic abuse tactics. Gaslight, blame, deflect & then threaten. That was not diplomacy. That was not Presidential. I’m grateful Zelensky held his own and made sure everyone knew Russia broke the first ceasefire.

This may well be the most shameful diplomatic episode in the last 100 years. Neville Chamberlain will no longer be the name on people’s lips whenever it comes to disgraceful capitulation.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

NEW: RFK Jr.'s "radical transparency" means ending a 54-year-old transparency policy. A Nixon-era policy gave the public the ability to comment on HHS decisions relating to “public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts.“ RFK Jr. ended that on Friday. www.lawdork.com/p/rfk-jr-rad...

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.
