Trump is lying when he says Zelensky was offered many deals. Ukraine hasn’t been offered ANY deals. They've been repeatedly pressured to make concessions in exchange for NOTHING but a promise to start peace talks. Meanwhile, russia has repeated non-stop that it intends to achieve ALL its goals.

HG Wells is alleged to have remarked "Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race”. You could see this shocking chart as an index of civilisation. A country which gets this issue so badly wrong is likely to fail in many other ways.

In addition to producing hazardous air pollution and endangering pets and wildlife, fireworks make the 4th of July the most common day for human-started wildfires in the US. The West is a tinderbox - maybe it’s time to consider alternatives without catastrophic consequences.
A graph (frequency distribution) showing number of wildfires caused by lightning (purple) and humans (red) by day of year for the coterminous United States from 1992 to 2012. There is a sharp spike in human-caused fires on July 4 (annotation pointing to this spike added by me).

There was a rule when I was in Trump's first term: if a memo had a staple in it, it was too long for him to read. Life-or-death decisions were cut to one page. Or a half-page. Or less. Bold fonts. BIG pictures. When you’re wondering why everything’s a mess, remember that.

After banning Afghan refugees, this week the Trump regime announces increased refugee acceptance from 7500 to 17,500—with all but 3 slots going to white South Africans.😐 Another reminder that US immigration laws were never about “CoMiNg hErE LeGaLlY”. Always about advancing white supremacy.

After Nixon’s “I am not a crook” tax scandal, the IRS mandated that the president’s tax returns be audited yearly. Every president since Nixon (except Trump) publicly released theirs. With the new DOJ settlement ending his audits, Trump is essentially announcing “I am a crook.”
