Columbus never set foot in what is now the United States of America.

Trump announces that two countries who have been in a major war have agreed to a ceasefire. Ukraine said they had no idea what he was talking about. Russia said they agreed to nothing. Trump has taken a blowtorch to any credibility the US has built over two centuries.

One year ago.

If you have to terrorize an entire community to catch the ‘worst of the worst,’ maybe that was never really the goal. History has a way of exposing the truth. Remember that.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

Good thing Republicans passed the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. Very effective. Very powerful.

Donnie having a late night cry.

After the First Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, and the Iran War, Republican voters are just going to have to accept at some point that warmongering is their brand, despite how often the people who start them talk about peace.

The moment we stop believing things can change is the moment we hand them the win.

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

Zelenskyy issues a statement responding to Trump’s deal with Putin to lift sanctions to purchase Russian oil and diesel.

Imagine trading your country’s credibility for political survival. That’s not leadership that’s disgrace.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Cheap diesel sounds great until you ask who benefits, who pays the price, and what it costs us in the long run. Not every “deal” is a win.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
