I am enjoying seeing all these #handsoff protests springing up around the country in towns both big and small. It's a hopeful thing to witness in such dark, scary times.

And I love these DC protest signs.

Trump just helped Putin cover up war crimes.

Musk’s DOGE shut down a U.S.-funded database tracking 35,000 Ukrainian children deported to Russia—erasing key evidence used in war crimes cases, including Putin’s ICC indictment. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a blatant gift to the Kremlin.

Putin & Trump have choreographed a scam where Trump will announce tomorrow that he persuaded Putin to allow a Ukrainian army surrounded to return home, and will use that to try to legitimize Putin’s demands so they can blame Ukraine when they don’t accept them. It is all a lie.
