I don’t think that enough people realize that the shitshow we saw today was a full and complete capitulation by the United States. The west lost the Cold War in front of our eyes.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Boycotts are effective. Boycotts must have a demand. We are boycotting Target because they bent to bigotry. Target’s foot traffic is down 10% since we called for a boycott. We will continue to boycott until our demands are met. We will keep organizing.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

On February 26, 2022, when the USA offered evacuation from Kyiv, Zelensky said, "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride." Today, Zelensky didn't need a ride either; he walked away.

At this point, no world leaders should meet with the 💩 stain or anyone else from the US. Stop legitimizing this dictatorship. Meet with Harris (or some other legit leader) and a shadow cabinet of her choosing instead. Ridicule the 🍊💩 and his bootlicking minions every day.

There's no way this massive coup of the government by Elon Musk doesn't end in violence at some point. They're breaking the government in irreversible ways and when people start fully experiencing the effects of that, the pitch forks and torches are going to come out and it won't be pretty.

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.

JD Vance is a Nazi who's thinks he's too smart to be a Nazi and is some other, better form of white supremacist, and if he hadn't gotten Appalachian affirmative action he'd be sitting in jail right now after trying to blow up a power plant with a bag of potting soil he thought was fertilizer
