Virtually all major imperialist or colonial wars after WWII has ended with the imperial power withdrawing: The UK: India 1947 France: Vietnam 1954 & Algeria 1962 US: Vietnam 1973, Afghanistan 2021 The USSR: Afghanistan 1988, Eastern Europe 1989. Time for Russia to leave Ukraine!

Yes. This.
For Vladimir Putin, endless negotiations are simply another part of his war plans. They keep Donald Trump on his side and help him in his broader objective of sowing dissent within the West and inside Ukraine
Putin’s desire to destroy Western unity rages on
He bets on a military breakthrough or a Trump-brokered stitch-up

These people obviously only understand power. Make them sit in jail for 48 hours. At least. Hold them on charges as long as you can, argue in court no QI because official duties require disclosure and ID.
When a Takoma Park resident was filming the ICE officers arresting the men they chased/made crash, one officer said to her “Ma’am, do you really want to defend El Salvadoran gang members?”
Another mocked, “Thank you for filming for our safety, ma’am, I appreciate it.”
Video shared with me:

Maryland state police should be ARRESTING ICE agents who do this. Impound the vehicles. Force the Trump admin to litigate.
@raskin.house.gov lives here and should stand up and say this now. Along with @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov.
NEW— ICE vehicles chased a landscaping truck through Takoma Park, MD, on Monday about a mile from DC, which ended with the truck crashing on someone’s lawn and narrowly missing another car, multiple residents confirm to me. Video shows ICE going into a backyard to find/arrest the men from the truck.

Like I said: Let’s see Newsom as someone who is currently doing important tactical work for us, not as the standard bearer for the Democratic Party nor a role model of practicing our values And no, it’s not easy for me either. But it’s clear to me I need to learn new stuff.
Democrats spend far too much time thinking and talking about how to attack Trump & his party.
No one attack ever works in politics. What does work is a commitment to sustained aggression. Attack, attack, attack.
How Newsom is attacking is much less important than the fact that he is attacking.

Agree. There have been something like 20 profiles of this exact [weird] couple. If this is actually a movement, presumably there is some other example to write about.
It is as if there were only one diner in the country, so we heard from literally the same "guy in a diner" again and again.
For the love of fucking God, stop writing profiles about white nationalist Sherman and Mr. Peabody here.

This is incredibly important. But the scale of the money in comparison to what is lost gives a sense of the challenge. Millions vs billions. The big metros stations are probably fine in terms of survival. The irony I suspect is that the stations they're trying to keep from dying entirely ...
A group of philanthropists is aiming to fund $50 million for roughly 115 local radio and TV stations most at risk after Republicans in Congress voted to strip hundreds of millions in previously approved funding.
The Race to Rescue PBS and NPR Stations
The Knight Foundation and other top organizations are aiming to provide $50 million to stabilize the stations most at risk from the recent federal government funding cuts.
