All it took for Trump and Vance to repeatedly declare that Zelenskyy was "not ready for peace talks" was for him to try to speak during a meeting at the White House, but notice how Trump does not call the insane remarks below by Vladimir Putin evidence that the Kremlin is "not ready for peace talks"

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Very laugh-til-you-cry: WaPo Opinions declined a chagrined column by American icon and reader fave @annelamott.bsky.social—in fairness, it is NOT an ode to the free market—so she took it to the LAT. There, of course, it was auto-countered by AI…calling for REVOLUTION www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
![Los Angeles Times — AI responses to an Anne Lamott column:
Different views on the topic
• Critics might argue Lamott's focus on individual spiritual renewal dangerously minimizes the urgency of structural political action, particularly given her dismissal of Musk/Trump conflicts as comic fodder rather than existential threats to democracy!61.
• Her analogy comparing national crises to
12-step programs ("trust and surrender") could be seen as passive compared to direct challenges to power structures, echoing critiques that 12-step models prioritize personal acceptance over systemic change 3116]
• While Lamott cites 1960s anti-war protests as evidence small actions create change, opponents note today's polarized media landscape and authoritarian leanings require more confrontational tactics than her proposed "community organizing" and boat-building symbolism 41161.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zwlj2d6nr2yun2poyvokffjy/bafkreicjsggarxlsmpy4p5oqksp37ktbhg5pwyao5wdr6cumiewggurikq@jpeg)

Prem might be the most important journalist in America right now, the only person covering this story with the urgency it needs. Absurd that there isn't wall to wall coverage of this.
SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.
He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."
