Zelensky said he will not meet Putin in Moscow and publicly invited him to come to Kyiv instead, if he dares. He said invitations to Moscow come from those who do not want talks but avoid saying it directly. Zelensky also ruled out a meeting in Belarus. #Ukraine

Walz said the most striking thing about talking to Trump, is he didn't seem to discern the difference between what he's doing in Minneapolis Vs. Venezuela. Such a little Putin wannabe. It should be clear, no state is safe from military action, by this f'n Pedo-🤡.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.
