Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

“We’ve almost fully switched sides here” — Mark Kelly

What he said. 👇👇👇

Trump thinks Zelenskyy needs to be nicer to Putin, the criminal who invaded his country unprovoked and killed hundreds of thousands of people for no good reason. Incredible.

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

It Was an Ambush Today marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy.

“I am ashamed for my nation; even if Congress acts to support and aid Ukraine, it cannot restore the American honor lost today.”

The Kyiv Independent Editorial:

"It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up."

The Oval Office meeting today between Trump and Zelensky “reeked of a planned attack,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes.

“The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.” theatln.tc/5tozgdyn

@lizcheney.bsky.social : "History will remember this day--when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

When one side of the political spectrum actively fights scientific knowledge and processes, scientists are thrust into the arena whether they want to be there or not. We need to be both prepared and willing to advocate for fact and reason.

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

“how dangerously easy it is to accept bigotry when we are emotionally exhausted and politically overwhelmed…”
