A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.
I’ve explained a thousand times over the course of years why that speech was necessary - it was practically word for word what I wrote for my speech in Washington in the fall. Europe has been instituting a gigantic anti-democratic mechanism and we needed the US to withdraw from it, which is what Vance did. I find it hard to believe a rea…
I absolutely am ashamed at what just went down in the Oval Office.

Friends, you have no idea what it’s like to be Ukrainian at this moment.
We’ve been through much harder things over the last 3 years and 4 days. But this is still a punch to the stomach like few others.
Thank you for your solidarity. Especially to those in the United States of America who don’t endorse this monster.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any American president in our history.

The criticism over Zelenskyy not wearing a suit is not only foolish but more importantly: completely fails to understand why he doesn't. Of course the man owns suits. That's not the point.
His clothes are intentional symbolism. A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats from a tyrannical force have no time for suits and neckties.
Notice, too, that he's not wearing a formal uniform. He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes. He has no commander’s cap or mirror-shined shoe…

What happened yesterday in the Oval Office—Trump and his lapdog JD Vance berating and attempting to bully Zelenskyy—was nothing short of a staged spectacle, designed not for diplomacy but for an audience of one: Putin. An embarrassing, shameful moment for America on the world stage, used as a prop to justify war against innocent people.
Trump’s thinking is making me reconsider World War 2
All Britain had to do was to avoid that terrible was to surrender to Hitler
Why on earth didn’t Churchill think of that ?

This piece by James Emanuel Shapiro is really important and I hope folks give it some thought. Basically: the business landscape for indie films has totally collapsed—thanks to the closing theatrical window, the collapse of transactional business (both in terms of VOD and physical media sales), and decreasing prices for streaming sales—a…

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.
