🇵🇱🤝🇺🇦 "Poland bought Starlinks, which it gave to Ukraine. We pay and will continue to pay a subscription fee for satellite internet for Ukraine. I cannot imagine that someone could decide to terminate a business contract for a commercial service, to which Poland is a party."

A draft deal between the United States and Ukraine over rare earth minerals and other natural resources is “not the one President Zelensky would accept,” according to a source familiar with the negotiations. bit.ly/4i9dXHr

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

This question needs to be answered: Why haven't all living former Presidents stepped up and shown collective rejection of the fascist takeover of America? Americans need to see this. - Devin Duke

“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

Name one thing Trump has done that Putin isn’t ecstatic about.

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

@cnn.com Abby Phillip and Kaitlan Collins doing great job. Thanks.

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Facts matter

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

California, Ukraine, and NATO Europe are getting versions of the same gangsterlike extortive approach www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

This. This was the <third> time people had a chance to vote for him/this.

Just as jarring as Trump's pro-Russia foreign policy pivot has been his embrace of Putin-like tactics at home, unfolding with a speed and ferocity far different than what Trump was able to pull off in his first term. Call it the Putinization of America. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...
