The narrative of exceptional Ukrainian resilience is one of the most harmful tropes I’ve seen during this war.
Yes, we refuse to give up. Yes, we have picnics in -15°C. Yes, we keep living, drinking coffee, and even laughing occasionally, but all of this stems from a lack of choice.

About the press conference:
Trump is absolutely detached from reality. He doesn’t understand how to end this war or what he is doing. But he visibly enjoys bragging about his relationship with putin and their sweet phone calls in front of Zelenskyy.

Peter Navaro on #FoxNews - "wages are up 8% under Trump". Peter Navaro - "wages were down 4% under Biden" #PeterNavaro- "everything Biden did was inflationary" #Peter #Navaro "trust us". What a fucking waffler. Wages drive inflation as much as tarriffs.
