Judge Luttig on endorsing Kamala Harris: I had concluded long before the endorsement that I would endorse the Democratic candidate, whether it was the current president or VP Kamala Harris. In my faith, I believe that I would have had to answer to my God for my silence if I had not endorsed Kamala Harris. It’s nothing less than right and wrong. We all know that, and even the Republicans who support the former president know it in their heart. They just don’t have the political and moral courage to stand up against the wrong that they are now supporting and endorsing. I did not want to be in that position in my final days on this earth.
Today, Putin admitted to taking a second step this year toward escalating and expanding this war. A new ballistic missile was used. Putin struck our city of Dnipro, one of Ukraine’s largest cities. This is a clear and severe escalation in the scale and brutality of this war—a cynical violation of the UN Charter by Russia. Let me emphasize: this is already Russia’s second step toward escalation this year. The first was involving North Korea in the war against Ukraine with a contingent of at least 11,000 soldiers.
Putin has taken both of these steps while ignoring everyone in the world who is calling for no further expansion of the war. He disregards calls from China, Brazil, European countries, the United States, and others. Putin alone started this war—an entirely unprovoked war—and he is doing everything to prolong it, now for over a thousand days.
The use of a ballistic missile against Ukraine today is yet more proof that Russia has no interest in peace. Putin lies when he claims that Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons is somehow a new step for us. This is not the first time we have used such weapons, and we have every right to do so under international law. Our right to self-defense is the same as that of any other nation. And when Russian missiles hit our cities, when Iranian “Shaheds” attack Ukraine every night, when a North Korean contingent is deployed on our borders, Putin is not only prolonging the war—he is spitting in the face of those in the world who genuinely want peace to be restored.
The world must respond. Right now, there is no strong reaction from the world. Putin is very sensitive to this. He is testing you, dear partners. It is clear who the sole culprit of this war is—who started it on February 24th and who continues to pour all resources into its continuation. He must be stopped. A lack of tough reactions to Russia’s actions sends a message that such behavior is acceptable. This is what Putin is doing.
Putin must feel the cost of his deranged ambitions. Response is needed. Pressure is needed. Russia must be forced into real peace, which can only be achieved through strength. Otherwise, there will be endless Russian strikes, threats, and destabilization—not just against Ukraine.
True peace is worth fighting for. Action is required.
Thank you to everyone who is helping.
Glory to Ukraine!
@msleen1970 Canceled my TV provider today. Haven't watched anything since election night. Saving $$ now too. Next thing I will check out of is X. Anyone else?
Did you think you would live to see a man incite an armed rebellion against the U.S. that killed and injured many and caused the seat of our government to be occupied by insurrectionists, only to get away with it scot-free, with no consequences except for being elected president?
@acnewsitics Bots have done their job so they are being deactivated. Plus lots of us resisters don't want to support Leon any more so are bidding farewell. I am still on the fence.
Seniors voted to gut Social Security.
Men voted for their wives and daughters to die from miscarriages.
Immigrants voted for deportation raids.
Poor people voted for tax cuts for billionaires.
Women voted to have fewer rights than men.
Police voted for a convicted felon.
Half of America will celebrate.
The other half, and most of the rest of the world, look on in horror.
America 2024 … will be Berlin, 1934.
it will take decades for America to rehabilitate its international reputation.
They’ve put a Rapist in the White House.
Trae Crowder explains BRILLIANTLY to Trump supporters why they shouldn't be spiking the football for voting against their own self-interests.
If you only watch ONE video today, make it this one.
@7Veritas4 Wearing my lucky Kamala shirt for 3 days in a row and hustling all the votes I can for her.
Still proselytizing to some Red Hats that I think could regain their senses & flip.
Planning a celebration for tomorrow night after the 🌊🌊🌊 rolls in. Feeling good!
Access to affordable healthcare is essential for the health of our economy, especially for independent contractors, small business owners, and content creators like me. Kamala’s healthcare plan is the real deal: her plan calls for protecting the ACA, caping prescription drug prices and making insulin affordable. Meanwhile, Trump’s idea of 'playing doctor' sounds like a malpractice suit waiting to happen. He wants to repeal the ACA and send us back to a time when medical bills could bankrupt us. Let’s stop Little Donnie from living out his dark fantasy—keep that in mind when you voteon or before November 5th.
I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm
