US President Donald Trump’s proposed Russia-Ukraine peace plan overlooks the need for justice for atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine. Governments should urgently reinforce efforts to support credible justice and civilian protection.

Trump’s Budget Bill: An Attack on Public Schools, Working Families, and Immigrants | NEA
The budget reconciliation bill President Trump just signed is a betrayal to vulnerable students and public schools—and largely at odds with what most people want.

Each time a protest is violently shut down, a university is defunded for political reasons, or a person is deported without a fair hearing, the foundation of our democracy cracks just a little bit more. We must all raise our voice in opposition before the damage is irreparable.

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.
