Ukraine never signed a “Trump peace plan”; no such plan exists. Trump pushed a Russia written proposal and tried to pass it off as his own, it was replaced by a legitimate European framework coordinated with the US. Real peace requires Russia to leave all Ukrainian territory.

Despite MAGA and Russian disinformation, Ukraine did not sign Trump / Vance’s Russian written surrender plan. Ukraine agreed to present a revised plan to Russia, this has been done multiple times. It’s basically a notion to agree to present a plan, nothing more or less.

Update: The US National Debt has now surpassed $39 trillion. It was $36 trillion when Trump took office earlier this year. Trump’s tariff manipulation has also nearly wiped out entire industries across the United States, countless now unemployed.
The official statement from the MAGA White House as the US hits a rapidly increasing all-time high $38 trillion national debt, is:
“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”

"Enigma Suite" by ex-Yngwie siblings the Johansson brothers--drummer Anders & keyboardist Jens--originally from Sweden. This lengthy instrumental #music track has, near the start, an almost cliche yet still lovable piano solo, & near the end, a bagpipe-soundin' fugue. A whole wordless story in 12min

In all this, we are bathing in the negative. Clichés everywhere, clichés that float, that turn into mental clichés and then turn back into physical clichés. And so what happens? You have to evaluate words, you have to evaluate images by their weight.

Driven by the Christian right’s hierarchy of obedience, the U.S is flipping the human rights framework & branding nations that protect abortion access, LGBTQ+ people, DEI, or anti-hate laws as violators.
