I deleted my account the day before Vance & Trump berated Zelenskyy. I decided to come back because the betrayal of Trump and his sycophants must be met by fierce opposition from every American.

James Comey's former lawyer Daniel Richman points out that Trump's DOJ "does not seriously argue" that it didn't violate his rights with a bad searches.

Feds just say they need the fruits of that search to try prosecuting Comey.

Early yesterday morning, a drone struck the center of Chernihiv in northern Ukraine—damaging a building and rupturing a gas line, leaving families without heat. Within an hour, WCK was providing hot drinks, water, and food to residents gathered in a safe, warm space near the blast. #ChefsForUkraine

5 citizens are in DC today sharing how immigration agents detained them

DHS still denies it is arresting citizens

Dayanne Figueroa of Chicago agrees. What happened to her wasn’t an arrest, she told House & Senate Democrats just now

“It was an assault & kidnapping of a U.S. citizen.”

2. Paramount says its hostile takeover bid is structured to avoid review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)

Even though the Saudis and other Middle Eastern governments are putting up $24 BILLION -- most of the equity financing.

This makes facially neutral policies--like poll taxes and literacy tests--that we know were adopted for discriminatory purposes legal. Organizations can now simply claim there was no discriminatory intent regardless of outcome. It's unconstrained institutionalized racism.

🚨 NEW: Andrea Velez and Javier Ramirez are American citizens. ICE detained them anyways. Why? They looked undocumented.

Today, they speak out, sharing their stories. Please repost this and share their experiences. ICE has detained 170 American citizens since January 20th.

Reading this interview (see link in QT) is maddening. I really don't know how anyone can sit through his lies and arrogance without just saying, "That's it, Mr. President. You are a fool and a blowhard. I am done with your lies. This interview is over!"
That moment when Trump tells Dasha Burns, who was born in Ukraine, that she's of Ukrainian descent.

It is worth noting that although over 60,000 ukrainians have lost their lives in this war defending against the Russian invasion,

It's still less than 1/10th the number of Americans who died in the civil war.

Why do we expect them to give up?

If China fulfills the 12M-ton purchase commitment by year's end, the 2025 total would be ~18M tons--a 33% drop from the 26.8M tons exported in 2024 under Biden.

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.

These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.

The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

Trump is a liar.

The United States allocated nowhere near $350 billion to Ukrainian defenders during Biden’s presidency.

The U.S. allowed Ukraine to purchase Javelins in 2018 but Trump restricted their use: Javelins could not be placed at the front to knock out russian tanks.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump: Biden gave $350 billion to Ukraine. You know what I gave them? Nothing. Well, I gave them Javelins at the beginning, they knocked out tanks.

SCOTUS is essentially proposing to swoop in and shout "Fooled you! We're going to unwind the constraints, but not the delegation of power—even though you might not have accepted the delegation without the constraints."

Make no mistake. 🇷🇺 seeks to make 🇺🇦 uninhabitable. They are seeking to collapse the morale of the Ukrainian people and they do not care if their actions lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians. Why the @whitehouse-47.bsky.social doesn't understand the evil behind 🇷🇺's actions is beyond me
December 8, 2025 at 8:50 PM
I am more bothered that this is NOT a pro-life statement. The @whitehouse-47.bsky.social is saying babies from conception are not "man", which is the implication of "God became man" "nine months later"
