Independent. We need politicians NOT under the influence of billionaires who believe and ACT on facts and science. The two party system has failed us.

💔 IN MEMORY OF JESSE ADAMS — A TRUE HERO FOR ANIMALS 💔
It is with enormous sadness that we have learned of the tragic death of Jesse Adams, founder of RainCoast Dog Rescue Society in Canada, who lost his life while carrying out an animal rescue mission in one of the most dangerous areas of Ukraine.
Jesse dedicated his life to saving animals, even when it meant putting his own life at risk.
We first came to know Jesse in 2021, when Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. Jesse and RainCoast were among the extraordinary organisations that came together to assist KSAR with the evacuation of 285 cats and dogs, helping many find loving forever homes.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Jesse travelled to the border to help fleeing families and their pets, providing veterinary care, supplies and assistance getting animals to safety.
He returned repeatedly, undertaking increasingly dangerous missions.
Most recently, Jesse worked alongside Animal Rescue Kharkiv, rescuing hundreds of animals from devastated frontline communities under constant threat from drones, missiles and artillery.
These were extraordinary acts of compassion and courage in the face of unimaginable danger.
Jesse knew the risks. He knew every mission could be his last. Yet he continued because he believed animals caught in conflict deserved protection just as much as those living in peace.
Those of us working in animal rescue in conflict zones understand and accept these risks. But few possess the courage to repeatedly travel towards danger when everyone else is trying to escape it.
Jesse was one of those very special people.
His death is a devastating loss to his family, friends, RainCoast and the international animal rescue community.
Our hearts go out to everyone who knew and loved him, particularly the Ukrainian rescuers who worked alongside him.
His legacy lives on in every animal he saved and every rescuer he inspired.
Rest in peace, Jesse. The world has lost an extraordinary human being, and the animals have lost a true champion. 🐾💔
With love and deepest respect,
Louise and everyone at War Paws

The Trump Administration is purposefully withholding interceptor missiles so that Russia successfully
kills as many civilians as possible in their daily bombings and aids in freezing the population.

These deals are being paid for with Ukrainian blood. Anyone American who is involved needs to burn in hell
NEW: We got the list of “Business Deals” the US and Russia are discussing.
They include a potential return by US companies to the Russian oil market as part of wider talks to end Putin’s war, including JVs in Sakhalin and restoring the Druzhba pipeline:

On @Morning_Joe today to talk about how we, the United States, are helping Putin in his war against Ukraine.

Unbelievable. From the NYT:
"The Trump administration is exploring a new concession to Russia: lifting sanctions on the country’s flagship government investment fund, long viewed by U.S. officials as one of the Kremlin’s most powerful tools of international influence."
Essentially, Trump is considering restoring the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), one of Putin's principal instruments for financing and expanding Kremlin influence abroad. In February 2022, the U.S. Treasury Department described RDIF as a slush fund for Putin and "emblematic of Russia's broader kleptocracy." Lifting sanctions would restore access to international capital and financial networks that were specifically restricted to curtail the Kremlin's activities including recruiting foreign agents.
And for what? Russia does not appear to be making any meaningful concessions, particularly in the tempo or intensity of its missile and drone attacks against Ukraine. Putin continues his war while Trump considers rewarding him with sanctions relief.
Trump cannot be allowed to move ahead with this. Why is Congress not stopping him? What was the actual point of passing the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act if Trump can simply waive its principal provisions and continue dismantling the economic pressure on Moscow?
Another stunning report, from @antontroian, on another concession Trump wants to make toward Russia.
What we have zero news of is what Russia plans to concede in exchange for this—other than money for Trump family allies.

“We now live in a world where the President of the United States is not only willing but eager to negotiate with a war criminal Vladimir Putin. He doesn’t do this out of strategic necessity, but because he possesses the mind of a child who is easily manipulated, easily flattered, and dangerously blind to the consequences of his own vanity. Putin understands this all too well. The Russians and the FSB could fill book on how to twist and bend Trump and America to their will, feeding his insatiable narcissism with little more than a few well placed words.”
“This is the grim reality we face, a President who would sacrifice Europe, not for peace, not for diplomacy, but for the illusion of his own strength. He does not seek justice, but the appearance of it, playing the role of a dealmaker while in truth pandering and submitting to a war criminal who has slaughtered thousands, orchestrated atrocities, and drawn the unmitigated condemnation of the international community.”
“In less than a decade, Donald Trump has pushed America further from its allies than at any point in the past 80 years. He has trampled on the very principles that once defined the nation, dismantling alliances, sowing distrust, and degrading the global standing of the United States with reckless abandon.”
“Now, he is sending a message to every dictator, every autocrat, and every warmonger across the world that sovereignty is negotiable, that invasions can be legitimised, that war crimes can be excused if you simply know how to stroke the ego of this narcissist.”
“This is not strength. This is not strategy. This is idiocy on a biblical scale.”

Trump and his team are not trying to meditate an end to the war in Ukraine. They are helping Putin and themselves.

BONUS: The most geopolitically sensitive proposals include a potential American role in Alaska LNG infrastructure involving Russian assets and a third-party management arrangement for Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, with electricity shared between Ukraine and Russia, according to the officials.
The proposals are not necessarily final agreements.

Seems that Putin is now just allowed to directly write US foreign policy from the bunker in exchange for fat cash payments to the Trump family.
Taking sanctions of Russia's Direct Investment Fund will mean billions more for Putin's war on Europe.

Removing sanctions on the multibillion-dollar fund, called the Russian Direct Investment Fund, would be a significant unwinding of the yearslong U.S. effort to use economic pressure to get Russia to change its behavior.

Trump is considering lifting sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF)—an entity described by the U.S. as "Putin’s piggy bank"—according to a report by The New York Times.
The fund is headed by Kirill Dmitriev, a special envoy for Putin on economic matters. The report states that he has offered to act as an intermediary for deals involving the sale of Russian diesel fuel to American companies.
In 2022, the Biden administration imposed sanctions on the fund, viewing it as a key instrument for the Kremlin’s international influence.
Now, the Trump administration is considering lifting these sanctions.

🚨🚨🚨 PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS🚨🚨🚨
Whilst Melania claims she is saving the people in Oleshky who have been starving to death under Russia occupation and bombing, Russian forces for refusing to let Oleshky residents cross the short Dnipro River distance to Ukrainian-held areas during evacuations, directing them instead deeper into occupied Crimea or Russia where they risk further coercive processing.
Melania has not secured ANY guarantees that Ukrainian residents will be transported to Ukrainian held territory where they will be safe following an evacuation form Oleshky.
THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

Concession after concession to Russia from the US, with zero concessions back from Russia. This isn't about ending the war at all, this is about corruption. Turns out "Russia, Russia, Russia" wasn't a hoax after all.

Trump was installed to turn the U.S. into a failed state and to weaken NATO.
Russian oligarchs bailed him out when he was bankrupt and Putin has come to collect on those favors.
It's how a transnational criminal syndicate works.
