Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers.
Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

I just got a new strop to sharpen my kitchen knives.
It's made in Ukraine by a Ukrainian company.
And, that makes me happy. Слава Україні.

This picture of April 2022 will haunt me forever.
New sneakers, blue snowsuit, this 2yo was very loved. His mother tried to bring him to safety, but russians shot their car w/ a heavy machine gun. The entire family gone.
How come in 2022 this crime outraged everyone while in 2025 doesn't anymore?

A compelling synopsis. Ugly, self-serving ambition.
"America First" isn't about making America wealthier, safer, or more powerful.
It's about Donald Trump allying with dictators so that he can become one here, at home. www.thebulwark.com/p/america-fi...

‘America First’ Is a Lie
America has *always* been about putting America first. Trump’s “America First” movement is about something else entirely.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

🇺🇦 In Ukraine, you often realise that you won't get to know yet another remarkable person as you find out about them too late, after their death.
Cheka, Iryna Tsybukh, paramedic with the Hospitaliers, is one of them.
Today she was posthumously given the title of Heroine of Ukraine.

In March 2022, russia deliberately bombed a drama theater in Mariupol crowded with innocent civilians including many children. @AP evidence pointed to 600 dead in that airstrike. That happened less than three years ago, & genocidal war is still ongoing. But the memory is short.

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.
