* Zelensky accused Trump of reaching agreements with Putin “behind Ukraine’s back” while Kyiv’s delegation is in Florida. He said the US is giving Russia “additional money to wage war” & called Ukraine’s team a “smokescreen” for a decision that is “unfair” and “not partner-like.” *

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

After the First Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, and the Iran War, Republican voters are just going to have to accept at some point that warmongering is their brand, despite how often the people who start them talk about peace.

The Trump administration told Germany and France to release emergency diesel reserves or potentially face a U.S. diesel export ban. International energy diplomacy has apparently evolved into “open your emergency stash or we close ours.” #Diesel

And you know who spent the last 40 years convincing us that politics should be entertainment? For-profit corporate media. That's right—if you work in corporate media, you're the reason this country is collapsing. You gave us entertainment when what we really needed were leaders.

All this is rhetorical, of course. I know why we have no such politicians. Because they'd be boring. We got Trump and a collapsing society because we confused politics and entertainment. Politics is supposed to be boring but enormously consequential—the opposite of entertainment.

The world found alternative solutions to fossil fuels but “conservative” politicians and the energy companies sponsoring them spend the last 50 years to convince as many people as possible to hate every alternative… it’s massive lobbying and lies, not “didn’t want to change”.

The Albanian island which Jared & Ivanka want, has been a military stronghold during many conflicts. If you control this island, you control the strait that NATO would need to access in a military conflict. They want to have control of the strait to stop NATO from responding to military aggression.
