Watching reporters walking on eggshells during White House press briefings so they won't lose access to their White House press credentials is scary.

This wasn't an accident. Trump did exactly what Putin told him to do. Gaslighting Zelensky, threatening world war 3, pulling back resources, and making it appear as if it's #Ukraine's fault.
I hope you put up your Ukraine 🇺🇦 flags again.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize.
It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.
If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Is there a way for this administration to be more disgusting? I bet there is. But this is atrocious...

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat.
I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.
"Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land."
BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

What happened in Germany in the 30s and 40s wasn't just because of people in the SS and Hitlerjugend.
It was because people looked away. After all, it wasn't their books burned. It wasn't their church destroyed. It wasn't their family rounded up and put into KZs.

I'm not religious, I left the catholic church when I was 15. However, I am in awe of Christians identifying the fake Christianity rooted in hate and blind followership as what it really is: Loyalty to a person, not a God or a country.

Trump is now viciously attacking the bishop who asked him to have mercy on immigrants and LGBTQ people, suggesting she is not a real bishop and demanding she apologize.
