This is a generational race.

It’s about old ideas vs new ideas. About whether Democrats win by fighting for serious structural change — or lose to Susan Collins yet again by doing more of the same.

With time, people will realize that this cease-fire does not mean peace.

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 1h

Last weekend, Trump flew to the Middle East to celebrate a ceasefire his administration helped broker between Hamas and Israel, after over two years of war.

Still, despite celebrations and the release of surviving hostages, much remains unknown about what will happen next.

“No actual plan”: Why the ceasefire does not mean peace

"It is also being claimed that we have a historic peace deal. That is absolutely fictitious.”

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now.

The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

I don't think Putin can afford to admit that the war hasn't been a mistake&stop the war he cannot win.This’ll mean the end of his power.He needs a war that lasts- lasts until the end of his life

Is Putin ready to stop the war?That is the wrong question
The right question is:Can Putin stop the war?⤵️

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
