I stopped caring about what others think of me decades ago. If I offend you in any way, block me, mute me, do whatever - because I don't care what others think of me, and that includes you.

Truth.
Trump’s 28-point peace plan with Russia “is misnamed,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. “It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future.”
The Murky Plan That Ensures a Future War
Who will benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

A thread (1/6):
The RWNJs either never learned/were taught to trust others, or had that trust utterly destroyed very early in life. Either way, their political positions (and how they approach life in general) are basically fear responses from their survival instinct.

Here's a detail not mentioned:
The ACA tax credits expire at the end of this year.
The GOP is stalling to cause that to happen.

Klippenstein: To what extent it’s going to activate what are called Joint Terrorism Task Forces?
The military is really limited in terms of what they can do.
But these Joint Terrorism Task Forces don’t have those limitations. They can do and go places the military can’t.

🚨WHOA. According to @haleaziz.bsky.social, the Trump admin was actually going to implement the ICE "bounties" it has repeatedly said were false, offering $200 per arrest leading to a rapid deportation — and only walked the plan back after the New York Times got a copy of the memo.
