It’s borderline criminal.

The US has pulled out of NATO training exercises in Europe, stressing that its focus has now moved to Asia. Whatever the fine print says, America is no longer in NATO. It won’t come to signatories’ aid. The sooner that’s grasped, the sooner everyone else can move forward with actual allies.

Trump has ordered massive swathes of US national forests to be cut down. Hundreds of millions of acres of trees will be razed and endangered species will not be protected.

Trump cuts aid for elderly people and families who use food banks in Michigan "The USDA has confirmed to the council that... purchases made after Jan. 19 are not currently eligible for reimbursement and it's unclear when or if they will be..." www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just told Americans to stop demanding things like “access to cheap goods” because it’s “not the essence of the American dream.”

AP jaw-dropper: “In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan” apnews.com/article/dei-...

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

If the Democratic leaders really want to fight Trump, they need to first address the issues facing Americans with real-world solutions and, most importantly, get with grassroots organizations to launch huge protests in the streets and get in the face of the Republicans reps who serve him. Resist!

Shameless.

I applaud Al Green for calling out Trump on the House floor. I just wish the rest of the Democrats in Congress had taken his lead. Small signs and white boards are not enough. Resistance must be shouted from the rooftops.

I chose not to watch the state of the union last night. We know the state of the union with Trump and the Republican party taking the lead - oppression, pain, and dictatorship. The question now is how long are the American people going to keep watching this shit show before taking action. Will they?

March 4th 2025, another day of Trump and the Republican Party committing atrocities against the American people and the world.

Tonight, we will discover if the United States’ Congress and Senate have the courage to overthrow a loser tyrant who is destroying the country so many before bravely suffered and died to preserve and protect. God help them stop the psychopaths.

Zelenskyy must not sign this minerals deal. He would be giving Trump the strings to be his puppeteer, and Trump is on Putin’s side, not Ukraine.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Trump is planning to clear-cut the trees in our national forests in large amounts. Trump destroys. He never heals. He never gives back. He only takes. The American people be damn!

How long can we as Americans stand idle as Trump destroys this country and sells us off Russia. This needs to end!

My latest piece on Substack: “This is not who we are” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Our government may have abandoned you, Ukraine, but the true majority of Americans stand with you!

Great piece by @clarajeffery.bsky.social comparing the burgeoning anti-Tesla/Musk movement with the anti-apartheid movement of the 70s/80s. And not just because of Musk's South African roots. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

For what happened the other day in the Oval Office with Zalinsky, Trump and his people siding with Russia, and their propaganda about Ukraine, should confirm to everyone they are not only despicable but also traitorous. This is what the American people wanted? I think not!

Donald Trump has betrayed America. If you couldn’t see it before, you just saw it today.

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for. They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

The US boors showed their true colors and provoked an outpouring of support from Europe and Canada, thank goodness. Zelenskyy, unfazed and unbowed, thanked them all, even Trump (!) and made his case on Fox News. Heroic. Persistent. A wartime leader doing all he can.🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

Trump & Vance tried to humiliate Ukraine. And ended up humiliating America.

Whatever you think about Ukraine and Russia, you have to admit that Zelensky's refusal to fellate Trump and Vance on tv was a major diplomatic failure.

“Zelenskyy found himself ambushed by Trump and his serpentine vice-president, JD Vance. He was expected to sit back and take a beating from Nurse Ratched and Miss Trunchbull. He refused.” 2/28/25 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today wasn’t a meeting—it was an Oval Office ambush, and it was planned. Zelenskyy has thanked the U.S. and its president dozens of times. Everyone knows that—including Trump. But gratitude was never what he wanted; he wanted a spectacle. “This is going to be great television” - Donald Trump

WOW Just watched the clips of the Orange Buffoon embarrassing our nation in front of one of the bravest men alive; President Zelenskyy. Words don't get it, but surely this is one of this nations most shameful days. Unbelievable Please accept our most humble apologies

Boykin: Vance didn’t even know enough about the topic to be having the discussion. When Zelenskyy asked him if he’s ever been to Ukraine, he said no, he’s seen it on TV. Are you kidding me? Seeing it on TV is your excuse for being able to lecture him while he’s in the middle of a war.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

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

50501 stands firmly with President Zelenskyy, the resilient people of Ukraine, and the enduring principles of democracy. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #March4thForDemocracy #ImpeachTrump #NoKings #PoliticalRevolution #BuildTheResistance @polrev.bsky.social

This isn't about Zelenskyy, a patriot and hero. This is about an American administration penetrated and compromised by America's enemies.

Seriously after seeing that oval office meeting, this country lost whatever credibility it had left.. Fuck Putin and his puppet Trump. Fucking disgraceful.

therecord.media/hegseth-orde... He turned off listening and opened the doors. It's the US, N Korea and Russia Wow

The entire free world needs to act fast. Act as if Trump declared war on your nation. Immediately stop all trade, travel, everything. Label the Trump regime as a dictatorship. Let us rumble this out in our isolation. Check how we’re doing every two years.

I agree with Mark Hamill. Japan is allied with the United States, but the second Trump administration is damaging the prestige and credibility of the United States. Even as a Japanese, I can only describe their words and actions as completely insane. #SlavaUkraine #KudosZelenskyy 🇺🇦

Don’t buy today. Give the greedheads a taste of their own medicine.

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

That stunt Trump pulled with Zelenskyy was just that, a stunt. It had nothing to do with obtaining mineral rights. Their meeting in the Whitehouse was a stunt to insult and bully. It makes me ashamed to call myself an American. Trump and his people are worthless! America, we need to wake up!
