“Since Putin is clearly set on continuing the war while dividing the West…threats (by America) to walk away only incentivise him to carry on. It is a counter-productive approach in defiance of all recent experience of bringing peace talks to a successful conclusion.” A must-read: virg.in/4jCtvUE

"One of the primary goals of all authoritarian regimes is to make people reticent and fearful to engage in basic acts of decency and civic virtue. It’s important that we find the courage to keep doing these things."

The courage to be decent
The Trump administration wants to make us too afraid to look out for one another. Don't let them.

This screenshot is the smoking gun.

The Defense Secretary—on Signal—live texting classified strike times to people without the proper clearance.

Hegseth’s defense? Blame a “disgruntled employee” and bash the media. And the White House is still standing by him.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Good morning and Happy Easter to all—including the Radical MAGA who'd probably deport the Easter Bunny if he didn't have papers! While they try to strip away birthright citizenship and slash Social Security, we're celebrating renewal, hope, and unity. Maybe take a break from the fearmongering! 💙
