The U.S. just refused to sign a G7 statement condemning Russia for a missile strike that killed 35 Ukrainians on Palm Sunday.
Every other G7 country signed it.
Trump’s envoy is meeting with Putin. Civilians are dying.
And now the White House won’t even name the aggressor.

7 yrs ago my father lost his valiant fight w/ Alzheimer's. It was an agonizing, gut wrenching, soul crushing journey.
It's called "The Long Goodbye" for a very good reason.
As much as I miss him, there is a part of me who is glad he's being spared the brutal truth of our nation right now.

This is real! Tennessee passed a bill stating that it's a felony for any elected official to vote against any legislation or policy coming from Trump.
Let that sink in.
Anyone who votes against a Trump policy will be arrested for a felony.

Trump just repealed an executive order that established basic non-discrimination requirements for federal contractors
It has been in place for 60 years
It survived Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II

"11246 opened up the government contracting sector, which is a huge segment of the economy, to significant numbers of non-whites and women... it's had a very substantial economic impact.
