Lack of New U.S. Sanctions Allows Restricted Goods and Funds Into Russia

President Trump has issued no new restrictions on Russia this year, in effect allowing Moscow to acquire the money and materials it needs in its conflict with Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

As ceasefire deadline passes, no additional Russia sanctions announced by Trump The news comes as the U.S. president is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a high-level summit on Aug. 15 in Alaska to discuss ways toward ending the war in Ukraine.

Israel today
Anti-Genocide protests
And we are only expected to grow ✊✊

Are we exhausted?

Protests continue, but the public largely pays little to no interest anymore.

On Saturday the Rage Against The Regime protests were nationwide.

But the media didn’t post about it when it happened. The Lives are being actively suppressed on TikTok.

The really telling thing abt Trump is that NORMALLY, he'd look at a country that is as ripe for collapse as Russia and JUST bc he's pathological join in the destruction.

That he hasn't says something abt leverage Putin has over him.

THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

The Constitution dictates that the census is a count "all persons" conducted every "ten years." Donald Trump has no power to alter either the timing or who is counted.

Trump administration wants to roll back abortion access for veterans Critics fear far-reaching policy will block veterans and beneficiaries from accessing care even in states where it’s legally protected

“This is a smack in the face to those who have served our country and their loved ones, stripping pregnant women of their bodily autonomy and restricting their access to abortion.” - @skyeperryman.bsky.social

Note this is based on a report that @ossoff.bsky.social did.

How far will Trump TACO on Apple’s 100 billion US manufacturing?

Getting increasingly difficult to believe that the guy who writes his script hasn't sent out to completely destroy the US in record time.

To my critics who say that my position urging Democratic governors to redrawing maps is simply a race to the bottom, I say this:

The only thing Donald Trump understand is overwhelming force. We shouldn't bring knives to a gun fight, we should be missiles. Unilateral disarmament is not an option.

Yes and I stand by it.

Trump is just an old fat man wondering around on the roof of the White House.

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

ICYMI, last week @freedom.press filed a 23-page petition to disbar FCC chair Brendan Carr. It alleges furtherance of Trump's "scheme to launder illegal bribes" in the CBS/Skydance case plus "frivolous" probes into media outlets & entities beyond FCC's powers.

Good to know that if and when a Democrat wins the WH they can just erase the Second Amendment from the government’s website and then act as if it never existed.

Who knew it was so easy?

YUP, it's the potential end of an era. But on a more optimistic note, if SCOTUS kills off what remains of the Voting Rights Act section 2, I think it will spur a new civil rights movement right as the midterms heat up. See here @slate.com: slate.com/news-and-pol...

US Dept. of Justice:

"Ghislaine Maxwell played an instrumental role in the horrific sexual abuse of multiple young teenage girls. As part of a disturbing agreement with Epstein, Maxwell identified, groomed, & abused multiple victims, while she enjoyed a life of extraordinary luxury & privilege."

Trump's DOJ summarized her propensity to tell the truth as follows:

Here's a sample of what Ghislaine Maxwell previously testified to under the penalty of perjury.

I apologize for swearing but--are you fucking kidding me???

The NYT thinks that judges refusing to give Trump's DOJ the benefit of the doubt is "eroding the healthy functioning of the courts."

For democracy to survive, judges need to be more skeptical and impose greater sanctions for DOJ's lies.
