This is a screenshot from the Instagram of the White House. Is this really what the citizens of the United States of America want their administration to convey to the world? Is this really how you want your representatives to behave? Is this worthy of the self-proclaimed "land of the free"?

At least there is _some_ resistance

Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

Okay. First bully the president of the war-torn country on TV while praising the invading tyrant. Then withdraw the urgently needed support in an obvious attempt to pave the way for the aggressor. Then send the fleeing civilians back to die.

The new American way?

There's absolutely no question about where the United States of America under Trump's second term has its loyalties anymore. The self-proclaimed land of the free sides with a despicable aggressor and tyrant.

This should be a scandal. In a sane world it would.

Bra!

Bra av britterna! Vi (Sverige med flera) borde bryta alla affärsband med Ryssland. Alla. Det borde vi ha gjort för länge sedan. Det kommer att slå hårt mot vår egen ekonomi, men det är ingenting mot vad Ukraina drabbas av varje dag.
Med USAs nya Putingullande politik blir det ännu viktigare.

One thing I can't get a grip on, is the power of the president in the United States of America unlimited? Can that one man alone decide the whole policy on US-Russia relations? Can that man alone decide to stop supporting Ukraine?
Is the democratic stability of USA that weak?

This should be a massive scandal. How can the citizens of the self-proclaimed Land of the Free tolerate that this man is the Commander in Chief? He has obviously sided with Putin against Ukraine. Russia and the USA, together, are planning to destroy Ukraine.

My fear is that they will succeed.

Varför hör jag namnen Molotov och Ribbentrop i mitt huvud när jag läser att Putin och Trump ska "förhandla" om Ukraina?

Back in December, we suspected the new administration might erase some pages, so we shared resources: bsky.app/profile/soci.... But we vastly underestimated the sheer scale and depth of the destruction of vital public information.

On Friday morning, the staffers at a half dozen U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy President Donald Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and toddlers die. They chose the children. In spite of the order, they will keep their facilities open for as long as they can, according to three people with direct knowledge of the situation. The people requested anonymity for fear that the administration might target their group for reprisals. Trump’s order also meant they would stop receiving new, previously approved funds to cover salaries, IV bags and other supplies. They said it’s a matter of days, not weeks, before they run out.

Detta händer i USA nu. Team Trump rensar ut offentligt anställda som var del i utredningar och åtal mot de som tog del i upploppen efter hans förra valförlust. De får sparken för att de gjorde sitt jobb.
