President Trump has declared his intention to “fix” the 100-year-old Reflecting Pool on the National Mall in Washington.

My Slavic friends, get with the program. BW have known forever that Trump was a crook, that Putin is a bully & a thug. They don't idolize empty suits like Bernie. They've been on the right side for domestic issues, minority rights, & foreign policy. MAGA and DSA are throwing Ukraine to the wolves.
Follow the 92% and all will be better. When I was in spaces on X I was surrounded Black women. I listen to credible Black women voices and have Black women around me.
If a group of people see something in 92% out of 100% fashion? They know something the rest don't. Seek them out. It's that simple.

I learned at a binational government meeting that when Canadians "table" an issue, they put it on the agenda, whereas we in the US "table" it to set it aside. TBH the Canadian use makes more sense.

❗️The Telegraph published the full 24-point EU plan to end the war in Ukraine.
And honestly?
To me it finally sounds like a real plan.
Not capitulation. Not pressure on Ukraine to “give up”
Just an attempt to stop the bleeding before even more lives are lost.
We do need a ceasefire.
ASAP.

Russian peace proposal
Another horrible night in Ukraine with russia sending 486 "messengers of peace" in the form of ballistic and cruise missiles, and Shahed drones.
russia's vision of a "peace plan" is killing people in their beds — and why would they stop, if they bet on getting amnesty with the US Admin backing?

I sleep at night knowing that these two milquetoast jerks do not have the broad appeal to do a populism like Trump or Mamdani.
10/14 Meanwhile, Rubio denied this was a US plan, then backpedaled.
The Vance-Rubio rivalry is exploding.
Both want the presidency in 2028. Both have different foreign policy visions. Rubio is bad. Vance is worse: a pro-Russia traitor owned by foreign-born far-right oligarchs

Everyone MUST watch this to understand why Zelenskyy cannot accept the deal the Trump administration is attempting to push. Putin has deliberately killed civilians. He cannot be rewarded. If anything he should be prosecuted for war crimes. #Ukraine

They have never been civilized, just imperial thugs in fancy gowns & palaces who exterminate ethnic minorities & oppress their own poor subjects. Russians can only begin to resemble democrats once they come to terms with their colonial history. Confederates were never held to account, so here we are
OPINION: According to Yulia Navalnaya, the Russian opposition believe their nation is an inseparable part of European civilization.
For this reason, they see the dark years of Putinism as an aberration, not an historical inevitability.
