Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

Whenever anyone laments the state we’re in, they’re met with a chorus of “but what do we do?” As plenty of good options are available, this response might often be wilful impotence*. I invite you all to nominate in this thread the best proposals and practices, around which we should gather. Thanks

Watching businesses cave and grovel and throw minorities under the bus and betray their workforces and professed “values” in a matter of weeks is a clarifying experience

A lesson which continues to fail to be learned by left and centre parties around the world is that trying to appease the hard/far right inevitably reinforces their place in mainstream politics, while alienating existing supporters. It's a lose/lose tactic. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.
