Nearly ten million American kids live below the poverty line. There's a proven fix: the expanded Child Tax Credit, which in 2021 helped cut child poverty nearly in half, the lowest rate on record. Congress let that expansion expire, and the bill to bring it back has been stalled for more than a year.
Russia is an empire that needs liberation.
Many people don’t realize that russia is still an empire. In fact, russia fits perfectly the definition of an empire: an extensive group of states or countries under a single supreme authority. Also, the war against Ukraine is a direct result of russia's deep-seated imperialism and sense of superiority.
Russia is home to over 270 languages and dialects spoken by 193 ethnic groups, including more than 100 minority languages. Yet, russian is the only official language. The languages of oppressed minorities are often belittled, while russian is upheld as the language of intelligence, science, and education.
Minorities in russia are marginalized. They face constant bullying and are paid much less. Furthermore, it is primarily russian minorities who are used as cannon fodder in the war against Ukraine. This marginalization partly explains why many russians were so reluctant to defend their own country in battles like Kursk.
If the russian empire were to be liberated, it would likely split into at least a dozen smaller republics, each ruled by its indigenous population.
All empires fall, it is only the matter of time when the russian empire falls.

Yet none of those media orgs or journalists Trump lists in his propaganda chart paid the largest civil lawsuit legal settlement in history to a US corporation for defamation and spreading disinformation - his favorite right bias conservative FOXNewsCorp.
Donald Trump selected at least 19 to 23 former or current FoxNews right bias conservative Trumpistans hosts, pundits, and commentators for roles in his second administration. These, including several high-profile picks for top-level positions, reflect a high level of influence from the network. #TrumpPedófiloMustGo
Fiona Hill, former White House adviser under Trump and foreign policy expert:
“The US is dragging Europe toward a world war, and Europeans need to realize it”
Hill had serious clashes with the first Trump administration over the ambiguous approach toward Putin.
While Jared Kushner is negotiating on behalf of the United States with governments in the Middle East, he is also soliciting investments in his private business venture from some of those same governments

This is disgraceful. It's wrong to treat war as a video game. It's worse to use the image of the dignified transfer of an American soldier's casket as a scene in a political fundraising appeal with the promise "private national security briefings" to donors.
Fiona Hill: What Putin is negotiating now is President Trump handing over Ukraine to him, forcing Ukraine to capitulate, forcing new elections in Ukraine and basically demilitarizing and neutralizing Ukraine so that Ukraine turns into essentially Belarus. 1/
Normal for autocrats who micromanage and listen to almost no one. They think they have all the answers and surround themselves with sycophants and fanatics just like these three.
BREAKING: @GretaThunberg just eviscerated "the pedophile" Donald Trump and warned the world about what he's doing in Cuba.
"As the Trump administration is waging illegitimate wars across the world, killing countless people, it is also strangling the Cuban people, deliberately, methodically and openly. The pedophile Trump, himself, bragged about it… He said it like it was something to be proud of."
Witkoff and Kushner didn’t have a clue what they were doing, with tragic results. Absolute malpractice by the WH. Trump gutted our diplomatic corps and didn’t even include nuclear experts in to the talks. https://t.co/8QkDKD7WcY
All part of the plan to create societal collapse and allow America's enemies to prosper. Time to get every person involved in forms of peaceful resistance!
