It increasingly looks like Trump made the decision not to share Russian missile launch data with Ukraine and to pull the plug on their missile defenses, resulting in the needless death of scores of Ukrainian civilians. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

Trump makes clear that he has turned on Ukraine and Zelenskyy and want to help Russia destroy them. The technical term for this conduct in wartime is perfidy, an act of betrayal involving deceit.

Katie Zacharia has a curious and largely unexplained relationship with North Korea that she developed while she was living in China. Maybe that's why Trump tapped her as his press secretary.

Canada has denounced Palestine for failing to hold elections. How many eligible "voters" are still buried under the rubble isn't known. But the UN reports that Israel kills a child a day. This week this 8-year-old child was murdered by an Israeli drone copter. She deserved better.

The $111 billion Paramount Skydance–Warner Bros. Discovery merger puts two of the five largest studios, plus CNN and CBS News, under one mega-GOP-donor family. The erosion of the free press was already underway; this accelerated it. The latest from @rashedmian.bsky.social for #UNFTR.
