The current leader who best epitomizes the spirit of the Declaration of Independence is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Orban banned it, so even more people turned out

I talk to people all the time who want to know what they can do to start fighting back against Donald Trump.

The answer is simple: Use your voice.

Call Sean Spicer. He’ll fill in all the empty spaces.

Happy #FlagDay. The flag belongs to all of us. Don’t let anyone appropriate patriotism. 🇺🇸

The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.

From Abby’s Bakery in Los Fresnos to the Australian MMA coach to the El Salvador gulag, we see the cruelty, stupidity & lawlessness of Trump’s war on immigrants.

The immigration issue can’t be ducked. It’s the beating heart of Trumpism. Confronting Trumpism means defending immigrants & immigration.

Opinion | There’s a Name for What Trump Is Doing to Trans People: Denationalizing The message is that we are a threat to the nation. The subtext is that we are not of this nation.

Blame Canada Our warmongering, drugged-out conspiracy theory

Very smart warnings on Trump, Canada, lies, Putin and Ukraine. Shockingly believable that we are in this crazy place.

"I decide who is a Jew"

If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.

Very bad news. The attack on the US as a haven for refugees continues.

Grim.

This is who Trump wants America to impress and appease. They say Ukraine is a flea-ridden dog that needs to be put down.

Psychotic. Evil. Yet aided by Trump.

That’s right. 🇺🇦

In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt answered the "America First" of his day - and foresaw the "America First" of ours:

"We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests."

European Leaders Rally Around Zelensky After Explosive Meeting With Trump The statements piled up on social media, offering words of encouragement to the Ukrainian leader and his people.

There’s still a strong force for good in this world. But it’s not on this side of the Atlantic. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

In this instance, standing up against and defying the United States of America is the morally, geopolitically, and strategically right decision.
