In 1831, Nat Turner led a deadly slave revolt in Southampton, VA, killing 55-65 white people. It was one of the deadliest slave revolts in U.S. history, though it was quickly suppressed. Turner evaded capture for over a month. 171 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

[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.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier:

“The scene at the White House yesterday took my breath away. I would never have believed that we would ever have to defend Ukraine from the United States.”

[U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @RepPettersen]

I’m horrified by the way President Zelensky was treated by Trump and Vance in their Oval Office meeting today. Once again, Ukraine is a democratic ally that was invaded by Russia.

It is stunning that the US is now siding with dictators and not standing up for freedom, democracy, and global stability. I’m deeply concerned for the people in Ukraine and our country’s long-term national security.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.

For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.

Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth:

December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia.

February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness.

July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden.

February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3+ years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically.

U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30+ billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war.

~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.

The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.

America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.

Slava Ukraina.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

[𝔗𝔯𝔲𝔱𝔥 𝔐𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔰 @politicsusa46]

The President of the United States just made the biggest mistake any president could ever make. He expected fealty and got a leader who stood up and said we are not going to be f*cked over by you.

For all those saying nobody dare stand up to Trump. This is how it’s done. Time for Europe to step up now.

[Simon Ostrovsky @SimonOstrovsky]

I was out at a gaming get together in Kyiv last night when the Zelensky-Trump meeting was being livecast. It was all anyone was talking about obviously and each new shoe dropping was like a blow that rippled through the crowd. But then someone asked me, “doesn’t trump realize who he’s dealing with? We’re Ukrainian. We’ve done two revolutions. When you push against us we band together.” Another said “if there was an election tomorrow Zelensky would get 95%,” and so on… then people started seeing the posts of solidarity from European leaders and someone shouted “France is with us!” and the crowd cheered. “Spain is with us!” And the crowd cheered again. So don’t lose hope, folks. If Ukraine can stand head high through this war and this betrayal, so can you.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

London. A meaningful and warm meeting with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer.

During our talks, we discussed the challenges facing Ukraine and all of Europe, coordination with partners, concrete steps to strengthen Ukraine’s position, and ending the war with a just peace, along with robust security guarantees.

A principled statement of support from the Prime Minister and an important decision: today, in our presence, Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed a Loan Agreement. This loan will enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities and will be repaid using revenues from frozen Russian assets. The funds will be directed toward weapons production in Ukraine. This is true justice – the one who started the war must be the one to pay.

I thank the people and government of the United Kingdom for their tremendous support from the very beginning of this war. We are happy to have such strategic partners and to share the same vision of what a secure future should look like for all.

🇺🇦🇬🇧

[Acyn @Acyn]

Starmer to Zelenskyy: You are very very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

The Russian-backed government of Serbia under pressure tonight as massive protests fill the center of Belgrade.

It seems that only the US hasn't gotten the note that Russian-backed fascism just isn't cool anymore.

BREAKING: President Musar of Slovenia:

“Slovenia upholds the principles and respect of international law and international relations. What we witnessed in the Oval Office today undermines these values and the foundations of diplomacy. We stand firmly in support of Ukraine's sovereignty.”

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times.

But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
