Wow Western media is SHOCKINGLY bad at Ukraine coverage. All of these are misleading headlines. There is no ceasefire. Russia has to agree to a ceasefire. They are shooting at Ukraine as I type this. A correct headline would be: "US and Ukraine agree on ceasefire proposal to be presented to Russia"

This should scare everyone. The Trump admin revoked Mahmoud’s legal status, kidnapped him, and is now holding him in an ICE detention facility without any due process. Trump is an authoritarian, testing the limits to see how much he can get away with. He won’t stop here.

This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.

“Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world?” Rory Stewart UK

Republicans just voted to take your money and give it to billionaires. It’s not enough that House Republicans are enabling Trump and Elon Musk’s outrageous power grab. Now they’re selling out everyday Americans so that Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies can get even richer.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
