Edited lede—The 28-point peace plan that the United States and Russia want to impose on Ukraine and Europe… (prepares) the way for a larger war in the future. (It) benefits unnamed Russian and American investors…

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."

@markhertling.bsky.social writes, “the administration’s desire for diplomacy is admirable. The desire to end a war is understandable.” Does the administration intend to end the war on just terms (note: not by this agreement) or simply hand Russia a victory? I fear it’s the latter.

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Trump saying “But he knew nothing about it” about Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Jamal Khashoggi’s murder is as big a lie as if Trump said he knew nothing about the murders of the at least 83 people on 22 vessels allegedly carrying drugs from South America to the U.S. Murder is not “things happen.”
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
