The U.S. Must Not Push Ukraine Into an Unjust, Unstable Peace
It would be a moral betrayal and a strategic blunder.

Your neighbor breaks into your house, occupies 4 rooms, shoots at your family for 3 years. Trump's "peace deal": neighbor keeps all 4 rooms PLUS gets a 5th room they never reached. You can only own 1 gun and can't join neighborhood watch. Neighbor promises not to rob anyone else. #TrumpUkraineDeal

And republicans members of congress do nothing.
Until this week I’d never seen a president call one female reporter a “piggy,” tell another she’s insubordinate and appear to threaten members of Congress with execution.
Any 1 of those are unprecedented occurrences. We got 3 of them in one week courtesy of Donald Trump

Donald Trump's piggish, savage behavior hits new low
From insults to death threats and princely thugs, the president is out of control

Rep. Eugene Vindman: " I want to start by condemning the president for calling for six Democratic members of Congress, all of whom are patriots who served our country to be hanged. It is the kind of thing we expect from a Saudi Crown Prince, not an American President."

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

It's unsurprising Trump is trying again to blackmail Ukraine into surrender. Keep in mind that Ukrainians have always been clear-eyed about the fickleness of the US as an ally. Ukraine has never been a US proxy. It fights for its independence and sovereignty and a US betrayal won't change that.

Zelenskyy has posted a deeply difficult, ten‑minute national address. It is honestly heartbreaking to watch. I’m sure translations are already circulating and you’ll find it online, but the first point you need to hear is this:

"Right now is one of the most difficult moments in our history. ,

By the way, for those who want to know why this denialist line is nonsense: disinfecting clothes actually requires a lot *more* Zyklon B than killing humans does - low levels of cyanide residue on the chamber walls prove that it *wasn't* being used for the former!
French authorities are taking X to court because Grok is now doing straight up holocaust denial. Gas chambers intended for disinfection, cyanide residue tiny, ‘story’ persists because of taboo against critical examination. (Full translation in alt text)

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

I have zero doubt that if Trump could get away with ordering the assassination of his Democratic opponents, he would. Instead, he's trying to get his followers to do it for him. Sick.
