It's idiotic to ask him these things while his mind is freshly full of Russian propaganda. Ru wants to occupy all of Ukraine, destroy everything Ukrainian, absorb, russify, and rebuild as Ru. That's what they're attempting to do in the occupied territories. It's genocidal intent, not good will.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Apparently, the days of Americans allowing Trump's ICE Nazis to kidnap human beings and deport them to concentration camps unimpeded are ending. Please be careful out there, y'all. Trump's already murdering people in dinghys and he's looking for an excuse to kill U.S. citizens.

Midterms aside, is there anything to look forward to in 2026? We sometimes get table scraps of good news but feels like another year in the books that’s slid further into the abyss.

Isolationist policies designed to stop freedom of speech or actions. Why would anyone from anywhere want to come to the US right now? ICE at every sporting event in 2026 should be a warning to everyone here and elsewhere.

Oh my Canadian friends…. Please stop coming here until this insanity is over. Don’t come for vacation, groceries, shopping, business, or even a layover in an airport. Most of us love you all dearly. But until we can stop this insanity, we are not a safe place for you to come. It isn’t you. It is 🍊💩
New U.S. border rule just dropped! Canadians now get photographed EVERY time they enter and exit the U.S. land, air, sea.

Actually it’s more like “I may have stolen your social security money that you’ve PAID into your entire life so you need to work til you die so nobody finds out”

Hard NO! It is OUR money that we have PAID so hands off. It’s not a benefit because I’m pretty sure I will never get back what I put in.
Not everyone has the luxury of sitting in front of a microphone in their basement spouting a few hours of fascist bullshit a few times a week.

I hope too.
And they took the family groceries to boot. I keep hoping that each & every person who is participating as ICE officers has their identity revealed. May their families be embarrassed & ashamed of their actions. May their children be horrified to have a parent who willingly did this.

#FuckIce
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Yesterday, I’d no idea how many people would respond to my call to action to fight for civil rights. Today, I have some hope. Trump destroyed civil rights when he closed 7 of 12 Reg offices & fired 1/2 the attorneys.

AGSulzberger’s NYT fails to adapt to the fascist MAGA movement’s assault on democracy, ignores the pro-democracy movement, poorly covers #NoKings & communities rallying to defend from ICE/masked agents.

Of all the examples of people dying because somebody inexperienced was in charge, the biggest, most horrifying was Elon Musk and DOGE. No idea what AID did, didn’t care, blew it up and at least 600,000 people died unnecessarily as a consequence. Mass murder out of ignorance and bias. Thanks, Elon.
the very last person who should be prattling on about the dangers of inexperience is the grifting troglodyte who killed millions when he was put in charge of “efficiency”

Our Congressional leaders need to assert themselves far more forcefully now for "Putin is a ruthless murderer who has no interest in peace and cannot be trusted" and Trump is a corrupt, venal, compromised man hellbent on selling out the West. My latest 👇

We need leadership that will actively back Ukraine...

...rather than attacking Venezuela and Nigeria while trying to takeover Greenland.

Russia will continue to be the world's enemy as long as Putin is in power and is supported by the Felon Rapist.
Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them.

And we discuss signing something with them?

This US administration is now completely losing any semblance of sanity in sanctioning "censorship masterminds". There's no other way to put it, this is tin pot dictatorship territory and must be called out as such. Including in the US.
Definite upsurge in Trump administration attacks on the EU / Europe in the last week, and I think of it rather as a cross between a toddler tantrum and an arsonist where the key fact is the project to reshape the world and even the US is failing.
