Lindsey Graham immediately following up an Oval Office meeting at which Trump and Vance disgraced themselves and the United States with a call for Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine's presidency only makes me feel more strongly that this whole event today was pre-planned and in service of Kremlin interests.

Why no, I’m not in charge of the Dems. If I was, you’d know it because there would be a brain trust running strategy and centralizing all other Dem and Dem affiliated orgs on one messaging regime and the beginning of a two year national branding ad campaign in the style of BP after the oil spill.

Putin is controlling America from inside the Oval Office now.

America, This is our Germany 1933 moment. Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond. This is beyond party, beyond country. This is about our collective humanity. #Ukraine

"Threatening criminal proceedings for exercising the First Amendment is itself a violation of the First Amendment" is absolutely correct. Good letter from @aoc.bsky.social. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

i'm stealing this from someone on twitter but the difference in body language here is due to the fact that both of these men are condemned to eternal damnation in the deepest circle of Hell but only Rubio realizes it

I truly believe today is the lowest point in American history. And the terrifying thing is, I don't think we're going anywhere but down—unless We The People decide we will not.

Fuck Donald Trump!

Trump is Putin’s bitch. Always has been. Always will be. Be ashamed, America.

Donald Trump is a fucking disaster. He’s spit in the face of every American that ever died in combat to protect this country.

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

POTUS and VPOTUS “showed the U.S.-led alliance something it needed urgently to know: The national-security system of the West is led by two men who cannot be trusted to defend America’s allies—and who deeply sympathize with the world’s most aggressive dictator.” search.app/uwV185FqGEFb...

Zelenskyy has huge balls. Doing this all right in front of the press. Honestly the first bit of inspiring media I've seen in a long time.

"MAGA simply doesn't understand how Trump plays in places that have nothing to do with Russia and Ukraine. Countries around the world now understand that the USA isn't someone you can depend on when the going gets tough. Trump is weak, and that is what he portrayed." www.rawstory.com/trump-zelens...

I don’t believe for one second that whole debacle in the White House wasn’t planned and orchestrated. Trump let JD go off on purpose. These clowns wanted it.

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

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

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

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

Marco Rubio just sat there like a useless sack of shit. What a global embarrassment.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

Donald Trump is a piece of shit.

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

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.

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.

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

Me too!

You voted for a corrupt sexual predator who assaulted multiple women and even admitted it on tape. What did you think would happen?

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly. Let’s start today.

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

So Puppet Trump is talking about tariffs on prescriptions. Stupid. That’ll raise your prices unlike anything you’ve seen before. Obviously, big pharma, his owner, wants this so they can rip you off with no competition. He’s easily manipulated, and *your* wallet pays the price!

The idiocalypse if you will 🧟

Every opinion piece in the Washington Post must now follow Bezos' new rightwing guidelines. Writers can say that they would have written the same thing anyway, but the fact remains: Their piece was only published because it met his new rightwing guidelines. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

It really is reasonable to ask how we could possibly ever forgive our fellow Americans for voting for what is happening to us right now and what is going to continue to happen for years and years. I mean the simple answer would be... we just don't, right? Ever? Because some things are unforgivable?

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Consumer confidence down. Unemployment up. Iran has enough highly enriched uranium to make 6 nuclear warheads. Are we great again yet?

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Sincere question.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.
