I agree. This is a test to see if the American public will tolerate disappearances, and if we do, no one will be immune.

Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, Northeast Ohio welcomed thousands of families fleeing a brutal attack. It was the right thing to do.

Trump even considering deporting Ukrainians who are here legally is appalling.

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

Trump Thinks He Humiliated Zelensky. He Really Humiliated the United States Trump’s Oval Office mob show proves he’s no Don Corleone. He’s Luca Brasi—with nukes.

The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...

So, no—we can’t say, “This isn’t who we are.” It is who we are right now. The question is: are we going to stay this way? Are we going to let these people keep dragging us further into disgrace? Or are we finally going to wake up, get angry, and do something about it?

Trump and his enablers have dragged this country into the mud, and yesterday’s spectacle was just the latest proof.

isn’t some accident. This isn’t a misunderstanding. This is the result of years of deliberate corruption, of selling out American values for personal gain, of treating democracy like a game where only the rich and ruthless win.

A nation that mocks the brave while bowing to tyrants. A nation that once fought against fascism, only to now embrace it with a smirk and a handshake.

Yesterday, in the Oval Office, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance showed the world exactly what America has become under their leadership: a nation that spits in the face of its allies and cozies up to its enemies.

This is what happens when cowardice is rewarded, when liars are given power, and when too many people look the other way instead of standing up.

I wanted desperately to say, “This is not who we are. This is not who we will be.”However, we can’t hide behind the illusion that “this is not who we are” anymore—because it is who we are. This is what we’ve become.

But make no mistake: Trump and Vance do not speak for all of us. Real Americans don’t turn their backs on allies. Real Americans don’t side with tyrants. And real Americans don’t stomach the kind of disgraceful, self-serving garbage we saw yesterday.

We don’t stand for what’s right anymore. We stand for whatever makes Trump feel powerful and whatever keeps his enablers in his good graces.

Think about what that means. The country that once led the fight against tyranny, that stood up to dictators and defended freedom, is now a nation that bullies the brave and grovels before the corrupt.

This wasn’t tough leadership. This wasn’t some grand strategy. It was weak, petty, and shameful. It sent a message loud and clear: that under Trump, America no longer stands with those who fight for democracy—we stand with their enemies.

They mocked a wartime leader, dismissed his people’s suffering, and in doing so, they disgraced all of us.

In a moment when the United States should have stood tall beside Ukraine, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance instead chose to belittle and humiliate Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a man who leads a nation fighting for its survival.

Yesterday, the Oval Office—the very symbol of American strength and leadership—was turned into a stage for cowardice and betrayal.

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

Now a third state, many many cases, one death so far.
This disease is highly contagious, it will spread and kill more children.
We can see where this is going and our highest healthcare official is anti-vaccine.
Geez-Louise, maybe it’s time for the sane world to impose travel bans on US?

MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid’s Show in Major Shake-Up (Gift Article) Ms. Reid’s 7 p.m. program will be replaced by a panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele.

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

@MSNBC please do NOT do this! Joy Reid is smart, unflinching, and we need coverage like this. Panel shows are just a waste of time.

You have a weekday morning show that is a much more suitable target for your silly purge.
