Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

Should we believe in US now?

500 million Europeans are waiting for 340 million Americans to protect them from 140 million russians who haven’t been able to win against 40 million Ukrainians for 3 years. what happened to our confidence?

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Elvis Presley was paid $100 million by USAID to pose with Zelensky. Unbelievable!

American social media companies write the algorithms that determine what voters read; moderation systems are opaque; political advertising cannot always be tracked. Do European democracies, or any democracies, really have sovereign elections anymore? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Musk speaking to the far right German party, the AfD, today. Best picture angle, ever! 😂

Highly recommend reading this article! For those who feel defensive about Russian culture, which is not in danger of being destroyed — reflect on why you don’t have the same energy and passion to defend the cultures that Russians are destroying right now. miastoliteratury.com/aktualnosci/...

NB: Trump is repeating the misleading line that "Russia helped us win WW2". The USSR was allied to Germany till 1941; about 20m, not 60m, Soviet citizens died, of whom a disproportionate number were not Russians but Belarusians & Ukrainians; & without US & UK help, the USSR might well have lost.
