When SCOTUS wants to move fast, it can — like when it wanted to decide the TikTok ban fast enough to stick it on Biden. And when it wants to drag its feet, it can do that too. Which it has regularly done to protect Trump.

The people claiming that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy “doesn’t want peace” seem really mad that he hasn’t agreed to give Putin and Russia literally everything they want. There’s a word for that, and it isn’t “peace.”

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

They will never willingly stop taking. Never. They can only BE stopped. The sooner we all face that reality, the better. Too many people still have no idea about the implications of what is happening and where this trajectory leads. We must use every means at our disposal to make them aware.

Have @aoc.bsky.social or other Dems been forewarned if they organize a protest March on Washington, Trump will give orders to shoot at unarmed men, women and kids? If not, let's go! If so, tell us! Trump/JD/Musk sold their souls to Putin but they can't sell US. We, the People, are not for sale.

"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.

When you think of Nazi Germany the good Germans that didn’t vote for Hitler aren’t the first to come up in your heads. The same goes for the US or Russia. Don’t want to be represented by evil? This is your turn to show what you would have done under Nazi rule.
