  1. Bernie seems to be the only politician in the US on the offense against Trump and his cronies.

  2. Trump admires Putin. I’m not saying he likes him or anything like that. He ADMIRES him, for the fact that Putin can run Russia in the same cruel, tight-fisted way that Trump would like to run America. A world where the rich get richer and the law does not apply to him or his cronies, and he can simply get rid of those who don’t agree with him.

    Indeed in some ways Putin does run Russia like a very bad businessman.

    Thing is, Trump does not understand why Putin is able to run Russia this way. Russia has never known freedom. It didn’t know it with the removal of the Tzars, it didn’t know it with the break of the Soviet Union. Whenever there’s been a revolution, the rulers have become all the tighter.

    I don’t know what it will take for Americans to realise they’re losing their freedoms, but hopefully they’ll realise that their guns won’t save them from Trump’s idea to set up a private army.

  3. Great interview. Worth a read!

    >At a time when democracy all over the world is under threat, when we’re seeing increased power for oligarchs and authoritarians, I think defending Ukraine is defending democracy and justice all over the world.

    I love this quote.

    >But I do want to say — as somebody who has gone around the country —  I want the people of Ukraine to know that the majority of the American people do not believe Trump. [Trump is a pathological liar](https://kyivindependent.com/tag/donald-trump/), and most Americans know that. Most Americans know that Russia started the war, not Ukraine.

    >Most Americans know that Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky. Most Americans know that under terrible conditions, Ukraine has fought back valiantly and is admired and respected by people all over the world. I want you all to know that.

    This makes me feel a little better!

  4. As a Canadian… I keep telling people he *might* attack us eventually and no one would believe me. I guess no one even wants to think about that possibility and still stuck in the old mindset
