Even when a man's bullying delivers what people want, it leaves people underwhelmed at best. And now we get to see how it's received when it's self-serving and damaging. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/o...

One thing that has been great about America no matter which party was in control has been our GDP! For decades, American GDP per capita has been 6 times the world average. GDP is now falling, and like pouring sand in a carburetor, Doge/tariff/trump will charge history www.yahoo.com/news/us-econ...

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.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

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

Daniel Fried: “The Europeans are horrified and dismayed,” Mr. Fried said, adding that Europeans see the United States shifting to a great-power strategy in which large countries carve up the world. “They’re watching the America they know and respect change in a matter of a couple of weeks.” NYT

Today, Trump & Vance cast a shit stain on the USA while doing the bidding of a "KGB war criminal" who has some kind of magical spell over the pair of them

Today, the current occupant of the White House and his lap dog @JDVance tried to act tough. Zelenskyy made it clear to the world how weak they are. They have reduced the United States position to be nothing more than Putin or bust. Zelenskyy smartly chose to go home.

The leaders of France, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Norway, Ireland and Spain have all tweeted support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine over Trump. Putin thought he could divide Europe, and a victory for Trump would weaken the west. Wrong on both counts.

Zelenskyy flew to Washington and got a meeting with the Kremlin. A day of national shame.

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.

Trump wants to be an autocrat like Vladimir Putin—and that starts with collecting cowardly oligarchs who pay you to be kind to them. He has that. Now he's moved on to trying to create vassal states like Russia has Belarus. He wants Ukraine to be a vassal state and is enraged that Zelenskyy refuses.

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them. Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.

For anyone who hadn’t noticed: Trump and Vance buried what was left of the transatlantic alliance by berating and trying to humiliate Zelensky today, openly siding with the aggressor Russia. What a shameful, utterly disgraceful display of who these 2 truly align with.

🤝 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has also expressed his support for Ukraine in the wake of the argument between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S.

🤝 President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen: Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Green cards for "shit hole countries" and gold cards for all the rest. As we crawl back to our three-fifths recognition of some people?

The quickening pace of corruption - the brazen use of the White House to enrich himself and his friends - is stunning. Soon, before we know it, government will no longer serve us at all. It will just be a mechanism to enrich billionaires loyal to Trump.

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

Kash Patel should never be allowed inside the FBI. He is perhaps the most dangerous of all the Trump nominees. He shamelessly wants to turn the agency into Trump's loyalty police. I'm going to Senate floor at 4pm to raise the alarm for my Republican colleagues.

savelife.in.ua/en/ With the way things are going, supporting Ukraine's ability to protect itself is the best we can do for Ukraine, Europe and the US!

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

Because this platform is moderated. This is not Twitter. There is no Elon Musk dominating an algorithm that drags down the platform Bluesky is unique. We need it to grow.

Something you won’t find on Twitter.
