From the US. Reaching out to the world to support democracy and show global solidarity. I'm offering a human-to-human apology for how our current administration treats sovereign nations. Join me in building bridges. #alliesnotenemies #democracy No DMs

Welcome. Guidelines:

Be respectful. Disagree, but no personal attacks.

Correct with kindness: ok to correct comments, but cite source (a link is best!)

Zero tolerance for taking over sovereign nations!

Thanks for being here and for helping us keep this a space for allies, not enemies.

Russia's war aim is to annihilate Ukrainians as a people and to make a colony of all Ukrainian land.

There is no "deal" that can possibly stop Russian imperialism. Only the total defeat of the Russian invaders and their unconditional surrender can stop it.

Why do we have to say this?
Why is this controversial?
UKRAIN is not the cause.
NATO is not the cause.

Just listen to Putin's speeches to Russia.
He says it, period.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

One autopen, Biden owned it.

Two signatures,
Trump denies them: a deportation order and a birthday book.

Pattern or crisis?

Either way, the public deserves transparency.

I don't often say this, but Trump's right.
We need an investigation.

President Trump and Elon Musk spent $15 billion to fire 200,000+ federal workers, and now 750,000 more are furloughed without pay.

This was never about efficiency – and we’re making sure everyone knows it.

I will never stop repeating this, and I don't know why it doesn't infuriate everyone:

They NEVER defined what "wastes" and "abuse" are.

So there numbers are BS!

reassuring to know they feel embarrassed at some level

I just assumed they didn't access that emotion

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Is it really risky when we don't get the results?

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."
