JD Vance is a Russian asset
Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president...

Zelenskyy: Have you ever been to Ukraine?...

Vance: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour...

JD Vance is a fickle man who craves the admiration of dictators

Watching this administration berate a leader of a country who has been invaded, and brutalized by a foreign dictator because of his support of a previous administration is beyond embarrassing. This is what weak US leadership looks like. Slava Ukraine

If you are lucky enough to live near a movie theater that is showing The Brutalist, rush out and see it today.

"[Musk is] already very clearly operating here as an independent actor whose actions the President blesses after he’s found out what’s happened. This is a parallel overlaying of authority over the entire structure of the US government.

We’re in dystopian quasi-science fiction territory here."

Once again, you’re in a class war.

Politicians won’t save you. Corporations won’t save you. The media won’t save you. They’re all on the same side.

Find the people you trust, build coalitions in your communities and workplaces. Only through solidarity will we be able to fight back.
