Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect Him to be strong. Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought. Trump is the worst negotiator

🚨The European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas : “The free world needs a new leader” The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

#SlavaUkraini ✊🏾 After👇🏾 post, President Zelensky spent the next 3 hours thanking European Prime Ministers for their support, as they rallied in his defense. 🇺🇦 As an American, I stand with President Zelensky and Ukraine. "UKRAINE NEEDS JUST AND LASTING PEACE..." #BlueSkyVets #Voices4Victory

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

For the record Pres. Zelenskyy has thanked the United States and Americans - 33 times to date including in an emotional speech to Congress.

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things: 1. The US is not a trusted ally 2. Zelensky is a hero

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

In a horrible moment for democracy and our standing in the world, Trump staged public confrontation with Ukrainian President Zelensky. He openly sides with Russian dictator Putin.

The Trump presidency is deeply embarrassing. Today, he and JD Vance, went to new lows in attacking president Zelenskyy – a true war hero. Trump and Vance looked weak. Absent their positions they are weak. Today we witnessed way beyond Nixonian abuses of power. It was Hilterian.

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

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤️ if you do, too.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

One White House reporter consistently asks Trump the best questions.

Raise your ✋ and repost this if you're participating.

The economic black out is tomorrow. I'm participating.

Disgusting and sick.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

Dear World, I apologize. We have a Russian asset in the White House. Trump stands with Putin. He doesn’t stand with Ukraine, NATO or the free world. Many, many, many of us Americans apologize profusely for this. Sincerely, A Ukraine-Supporting, NATO-Supporting American

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6

We must flood the media with the sobering reality!

Raise your hand 🖐️ and Repost if you still support President Zelenskyy and the brave people of Ukraine! 🇺🇦 I want all of my 168K friends to follow YOU! 💙 Like ❤️ and repost 🔄 and you will get MORE followers! 🚀 Who is with me? 🖐️

Send out a company-wide email tomorrow saying you're bringing in a team of pubescent hackers to break into everyone's private information in order to find instances of waste and fraud. Let's see how it plays out.

Hey, sorry but no more Yosemite. It’s getting more efficient.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

💙 MUST READ: JIM ACOSTA CALLS FOR NEWS BOYCOTT! 💙 "News organizations...should be banding together to send the message that...the press will determine how they cover the news, not the man behind the Resolute Desk." "The presidential Sharpie is not mightier than the pen.”

Yes, indeed — what the fuck!!! 😡

Feb 28. Economic Blackout. Please share and prepare. Plan ahead and buy whatever you need before Feb 27 at 11:59pm, and then do not spend any money (in person or online) for 24 hours. We can do this. 🚫💵

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

If it broke through to CNN, it’s effective messaging. (It also has the added value of being true.)
