Ukraine could have surrendered in 2014. But we didn’t.
Ukraine could have surrendered in 2022. But we didn’t.
And we could surrender now. But we will not.

We. Are. Ukrainians. We will not surrender.

The US tried to pressure Europe to accept the 28 point capitulation plan by warning that Russia is stockpiling long-range missiles which can be used against Europe.

...but haven't they actually just identified why Russia needs to be defeated now? Seems a strange argument to use.

It's quite disturbing that the @bsky.app sometimes decides to suppress certain comments and hide them (without even sending a notification).

I cannot fully express my utter outrage and grief.

May Sarah’s memory be a blessing and comfort to her loved ones.
November 28, 2025 at 1:38 AM
This is a tragedy. I hold 2 people responsible:

The shooter
And the man who forced our troops to be in DC illegally

My heart goes out to Sarah’s family. She gave the ultimate sacrifice in her service. She never asked for this assignment.
Sarah Beckstrom, 20, one of two National Guardsmen shot yesterday, has succumbed to her injuries. She has died.

Sarah Beckstrom, RIP...and thank you for your service to this country.

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

Some very important context to the criminal who shot two of our national guard troops and the criminal who enabled him to do it.
A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Gutting US counterterrorism and federal law enforcement capacity was a bad idea.

Sorry to get so partisan. I know the president wants to see more political violence in the US, and thinks it's important for federal forces to prioritize crackdowns on nonviolent, noncriminal migrants. I just disagree.

NEW: A $1 MILLION DOLLAR SANCTIONS order against Felon Trump & parking lot lawyer, Alina Habba, has been upheld by a federal appeals court.

I've got the details of that order, incl. the affirmation that Trump has a “pattern of misusing the courts” for bad faith litigation.

I am heartbroken by the tragic news that two National Guard members were shot near the White House today. My thoughts are with the families and everyone affected as we learn more. This kind of senseless violence has no place in our country.
