Trump is a treasonous convicted felon!!!

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

American Veteran has a word for Trump and Zelensky.

Take two mins…

[Seth Moulton @sethmoulton]

A truly embarrassing moment for our country. I know the vast majority of my Republican colleagues agree with me. They're too scared to say it themselves.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

There has never been anything like this. Trump and Vance look like children talking about accommodating Putin. Zelensky holds his ground and defends his nation… and the free world.

[Glen E. McGregor @glen_mcgregor]

“I’m not playing cards,” — Volodymr Zelensky. A quote for history.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

These are not political news cycle issues. Trump is transforming what the United States is as a country in the world into a far right, authoritarian, transactional, valueless oligarchy aligned with the world's autocracies.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

Florida school library bans “The Hills We Climb," the poem written & read by Amanda Gorman at Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Ron DeSantis & Donald Trump don't want you to hear this poem, so I'm posting it here. Pass it on.

Bob Graham Education Center — a K-8 school located in Miami Lakes — has banned student from reading or checking out the following books.

They said the reason included references of, "indirect hate messages," critical race theory, gender ideology & indoctrination.
1. The Hills We Climb
2. Cuban Kids
3. Countries in the News Cuba
4. Love to Langston
5. The ABCs of Black History

Ironically, the controversy led to a surge in sales for Amanda Gorman's writing. "The Hills We Climb" hit #1 on the Amazon Best Seller list.

🚨 BREAKING: President Biden's term concludes with zero political appointees indicted or convicted, and no cabinet resignations over impropriety—an ethical benchmark rarely seen, especially in contrast to Trump's administration. Well done!

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

President Biden inherited a country rocked by a pandemic and an economic crisis and helped us recover from both, among many other achievements.

Much will be written about his legacy, but for now, let's start with: Thank you, Joe.

"Putin is the new Hitler" - Russian historian and dissident Alexander Skobov said his final words in the trial today, and I can't agree more.

Full speech:

"I was raised in the Soviet Union with the conviction that when a malicious and cruel aggressor attacks peaceful people, one must take up arms and fight. And if you cannot hold a weapon yourself, you must help those who fight and encourage others to do so.

All my publicistic activity is a call to fight the aggressor who attacked Ukraine, to support Ukraine with weapons and ammunition. I consider myself a participant in the armed resistance against the aggressor. In the missiles and shells that destroy the invaders, there is a small contribution from me. And I take responsibility for every eliminated occupier.

No one attacked Russia, no one threatened it.
It is Putin’s Nazi regime that attacked Ukraine, driven solely by the delusions of grandeur of its leaders and their inhuman lust for power over everyone around them.

They assert themselves by killing hundreds of thousands of people. They are degenerates, scum, Nazi filth.

The guilt of Putin's Nazi dictatorship in preparing, unleashing, and waging an aggressive war is obvious and needs no proof. Likewise, our right to armed resistance against the aggressor on the battlefield and in the aggressor's rear needs no justification. Indeed, it would be laughable to expect such acknowledgment from a regime that imprisons people merely for verbally condemning its aggression. All possibilities for legal protest against Putin's aggression have been eradicated.

My calls for armed resistance against the aggressor’s regime are classified under terrorism charges. I will not argue with the aggressor's authorities, even if they decide to classify my actions under charges of pedophilia. The court in Russia has long proven itself to be an appendage of Nazi tyranny, and seeking justice there is meaningless. I will never bow before these people – accomplices of murderers and scoundrels. I have nothing to discuss with them. Let the cannons speak for me.

I see no point in arguing with the dictatorship’s puppets about how faithfully they apply their laws. These are, in any case, the laws of a totalitarian state aimed at suppressing dissent. I do not recognize these laws and will not obey them.

I also will not appeal against any decisions or actions of the representatives of the Nazi regime. I do not seek mercy from my armed enemy.

The Putin dictatorship may kill me, but it cannot force me to abandon my fight against it. Wherever I may be, I will continue to call on honest Russians to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I will continue to advocate for strikes on military targets deep within Russian territory. I will call on the civilized world to inflict a strategic defeat on Nazi Russia. I will argue for the necessity of the military destruction of the regime of the new Hitler.

Putin is the new Hitler, intoxicated by impunity, a ghoul drunk on blood. And I will not tire of repeating: “Crush the serpent!”

Death to Putin, the murderer, tyrant, and scoundrel!
Death to the Russian-fascist invaders!
Glory to Ukraine!"

First Lady Michelle Obama has chosen not to attend Donald Trump's Inauguration on January 20th.

RETWEET if you are proud to stand with @MichelleObama!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

A ridiculous lie. We have doubled the size of our firefighting army, built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet, and increased the forest management ten-fold since taking office.

Time to serve these folks the facts.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

WOW! Governor Gavin Newsom just SLAMMED Donald Trump for politicizing the devastating wildfires in California. Newsom isn’t playing around here. Share this everywhere.

[AlexandruC4 @AlexandruC4]

German President calls Elon Musk a threat to democracy

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Today, Russia bombed the capital of the largest country in Europe. Because Putin can do whatever he likes. Yesterday he laughed about it.

The fact the west allows this is an utter disgrace and a humiliation for every single politician in a seat of power.

Kyiv was bombed with ballistic missiles 4 days before Christmas and countless lives have been destroyed. The horror unleashed by Russia is actually impossible to describe.

[Acyn @Acyn]

DeLauro: They got scared. Because President Musk said don't do it. Don't do it. Shut the government down. Imagine. What does he know about what people go through when the government shuts down? Is he furloughed?

[Ukraine.ua @ukraine_ua]

Day 1 or 1000, do not look away from Russia's war against Ukraine.
