“Americans should stand up and send their political leadership a clear message: We don’t support what you’re doing, so stop doing it in our name. We don’t want an alliance with Russia, and we don’t want a betrayal of Ukraine. And frankly, we are embarrassed.” kyivindependent.com/editorial-a-...

Another way to see this: White westerners have long told Eastern Europeans how they are not part of “the West,” not “as civilized” as they are, etc. a long history of discrimination against EE as a way to prop up alleged western superiority, including ideas of “democracy”

The far right conspiracy sphere has spent years painting Zelenskyy as a tyrannical and Satanic despot cranked to the gills on meth and running a New World Order slave state. Trump is going to tap into that image as an excuse for why it has to hand Ukraine over to Russia.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

For the moment, I’m going to keep reading the Post — the news pages, anyway, for the same reason I read the WSJ news pages. I will not blame anyone if they choose not to. In the meantime I will point out that NPR/PBS and your local stations only answer ultimately to the public. Support them.

certain respectable, centrist pundits have said or implied that i'm basically hysterical about the idea that the trump administration is segregationist but then we get stories like this one. huh, wonder what ideological perspective might explain this decision.

the main effect of firing 800,000 people — in addition to debilitating the federal government — would be to plunge the US economy into a recessionary spiral that rivaled the Great Recession

“Freedom is ethical—it minimizes coercion” is a statement, but it certainly isn’t one that squares with a vast swath of American history. Unless, of course, you’re only concerned with “freedom” as defined and exercised by those with tremendous wealth against those who lack it.

Looking forward to all the WaPo op-eds about the personal liberties of controlling one’s own reproduction, determining one’s own gender expression, finding one’s own definition of sexual satisfaction, choosing one’s own definition of family…

Yes! The people defending this as trolling don’t understand what trolling is. “Libs will get offended by ANYTHING these days” only works if the thing you’re doing isn’t offensive!
