...there is no reason to believe that autocrat Putin's sudden willingness for direct peace talks was made in good faith.
Nothing has changed from 3 months ago.
Russia is racing the clock to avoid an economic collapse.
Ukraine is racing the clock to hold out until Russia's economy collapses.

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE.
This is appropriate levels of rage.
This is why such governance is doomed to fail. When leadership is fueled by self-elevation rather than collective elevation, it builds no foundation. Only a summit with no structure beneath it. Collapse is inevitable.
When a presidency governs primarily through executive fiat, it signals not strength but institutional failure. The inability or unwillingness to build consensus becomes a gateway to authoritarian drift.
At the federal level Canadians have a choice of five political parties, who represent Canada’s 40 million people. American have a choice between two political parties which represent 340 million Americans. Former US President Jimmy Carter called the US an “oligarchy with unlimited political bribery”
Fuck the Russian Oligarch Billionaires and their Dictator who want to exploit Ukraine. 🇺🇦
Fuck the American Oligarch Billionaires and their wannabe Dictator who've been exploiting the United States. 🇺🇲
SAY NO!
This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.
The C.E.O. of Bluesky wants to liberate social media from the “self-styled tech monarch.” Can its decentralized structure help give power back to the user?
NYT and Washington Post, put your best reporters on this and place their stories on your front pages. MSNBC, hammer on this—you haven’t been. Democrats, talk about this every day, several times a day. Do not let Trump’s sewer standards jade us.

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”

While we called for caution in trying to untangle the Trump administration's mixed signals about crafting a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, we are not surprised by today's outcome.
Since Trump took office, the U.S. and Russia have not negotiated in good faith.

Canada and the US had a diplomatic standoff that's gone largely under the radar.
Carney and Trump faced off on who would call who first. Trump caved in and lost when he saw Canadians moving their business to the EU. This makes the US look even weaker as they initiated the stand off. #cdnpoli
The US, India, China, and Russia are all openly interfering in the Canadian elections, united behind a single candidate / platform. Common sense dictates, whomever they are behind is not the person or people you want to elect. Be smart, make the right choice. #cdnpoli
Trump’s proxy candidate in Canada is Pierre Poilievre — a political embodiment of the same pathology. Dismantling his logic is essential to preserving the civic freedoms and democratic integrity that Canadians rightfully cherish.
We also have a guide to protecting yourself from government surveillance.
Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.
Amid growing concerns over Big Tech firms aligning with Trump administration policies, people are starting to move their digital lives to services based overseas. Here's what you need to know.
The pardons are dictorial to begin with, but doing and undoing absolute decrees hardly seems like a viable system. Presidential immunity, pardons, executive orders, and unregulated control of JSOC all need to be removed from the presidential arsenal.
Make presidents servants again. #EndImpunity

L’idée de Donald Trump d’annexer le Canada n’est pas populaire aux États-Unis.
Seulement 8 % des Américains estiment que c’est une bonne idée.
Chez les partisans de Trump, c’est à peine plus, à 14 %.
