What you need to know about the war in Ukraine is: "Good cop, Bad cop." Huh? What do you mean? Yeah. You know how they're both on the same side, the good cop and the bad cop? Yeah, so? So, Donald Trump is the good cop and Vladimir Putin is the bad cop. They're both on the same same side, and […]

The "Peace Plan" Point 1. We re affirm Ukraine's sovereignty. Point 2-28. We remove Ukraine's sovereignty.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I always wince a little when I see graphs and charts on the homepage of some news outlet, but this one was really well done and conveyed a lot of interesting and timely information in very few words. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/11/24/sp500-stock-market-tech-nvidia/

Senator #markkelly, in an interview with #rachelmaddow, emphasized his view that "it's almost comical" that #trump & #petehegseth are calling it a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice that he cited part of the Uniform Code of Military Justice in a recent video. Kelly explained his […]

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

The UN votes to condemn torture. Nearly every nation on Earth says “no more.” And who proudly stands WITH torture? The U.S., Israel, and Argentina under Trump. If you ever wondered what “American values” look like in MAGA-land, here’s your map: cruelty as policy, torture as identity.

'Outrage against human decency' – European MPs warn Trump against appeasing Russia in new open letter https://kyivindependent.com/outrage-against-human-decency-european-mps-caution-trump-against-appeasing-russia-in-new-open-letter/ He could not care less...

So far, what Trump, Rubio, Witkoff, Putin consider "great progress" is light-years away from prospects for a lasting peace for Ukraine, the invaded country.

Sorry Scott, Fox thinks otherwise:

I can't believe Ukraine isn't grateful that Witkoff took a Russian plan for Ukrainian capitulation, ran it through Google Translate, and mandated that Zelenskyy accept it by Thursday! My soul is shattered over the impact of Americans having not elected Kamala. All the pain and suffering — […]

I studied waay too much Nazi Germany, also other 20th century dystopia and disasters. Cambodia, Rwanda. It's not a stretch to compare current USA leadership rhetoric with that. It's not a mistake that there are masked forces taking people without cause. This is how it happens and it's […]

The #us backed deal on #ukraine is actually a business agreement with #Russia. Many around #trump want access to the Russian market and Ukranian asset, this enables that. Again to be clear #trumpw was voted in to do this, he has the backing of the #american people to exteract value from the […]

One of the reasons we need universal basic income plus higher taxes on the rich is to boost the spending power of the bottom 60% and in doing so, reorient our economy around the needs of the majority of people who comprise it. As inequality has increased, our economy has adjusted to meet rich wants.

And what does the science say? It is clear. We must phase out fossil fuels not for the sake of the planet, but to ensure a livable future for us all. And "all" includes the inhabitants of those countries who prevented this phrase from being included in the final agreement.

Europeans will have to handle chaos from Trump and Vance's erratic incompetence every few months so there is no use panicking. Better to calmly find ways in the short term of slowrolling Washington diplomatically while preparing for a post-American world
