I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

It is okay, Elon. In academia at least we learn how to cope with criticism. I think it is a pity you chose another route. The route of least intellectual resistance.

If you haven’t watched this yet please do.
I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, if this doesn’t move you to vote against the current state of affairs nothing will.
Our grandchildren will watch this clip in history class, to better understand the political climate during Trumpism.

What is actually going on is there’s a huge difference between the shit you say and reality. ‘The people’ in Ukraine are soldiers I meet every day who volunteered to fight to save their nation from an imperialist takeover.
Those same people you claim to speak for actually tell me you are putting their lives at risk by shutting off starlink.

She corrected it before voting.

"Zelensky better damn well stop," the President said. "He's making problems for our farmers, our ranchers." The two people making problems for farmers & ranchers are (1) Putin by invading Ukraine in the first place, and (2) Trump by invading Iran. Mr. Zelensky has nothing to do with it.

- Olena Zelenska 🇺🇦:
"If Ukrainian soldiers, despite fierce resistance against the enemy and the loss of their comrades, haven't got tired of liberating Ukrainian land, and if Ukrainians, despite their grief and tears, haven't got tired of defending their children and their future, how can people somewhere in a safe country get tired of reading the news?"
"Please do not get used to this war, because if everyone gets used to it, this war will never end."
............
Don't stop supporting Ukraine, they need our help 🫂🇺🇦❤️

Under the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act of 2022, Russian diesel cannot be imported into the United States unless the president certifies to Congress that Russia has withdrawn from Ukraine, acknowledged Ukraine's sovereignty, and no longer poses a threat to NATO.

The President’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian diesel is an embarrassment & makes us complicit in Putin’s war against Ukraine. 1/ politico.com/news/2026/10/09…

President Zelenskyy’s comment on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks that the war in Ukraine is at a "strategic stalemate" and that there are now "no prospects for a negotiated settlement":
"You cannot negotiate future economic projects with Russians on the one hand and, on the other, claim that we are in some kind of diplomatic stalemate. We are not in a diplomatic stalemate.
Shut down Russia’s entire economy. Shut Russia's mouth. Stop feeding them through your sales. Impose sanctions on their weapons.
Open Starlink for Ukraine. You opened it when responding to Iran, after all. Everything worked there. Israel completely controlled the skies over Iran. So when you need it to work, it works.
It costs them nothing to help Ukraine. And I said quite frankly: help us protect our skies and gain dominance there.
Then Putin will sit down at the negotiating table. Why? Because he will lose everything. In two or three months, he will lose everything.
And instead, we are waiting for the Chinese to develop an equivalent and hand it over to Russians.
This is not a stalemate - this is called a lack of will."
"Right now, there don’t seem to be prospects of a negotiated settlement of the war in Ukraine. But the US is prepared to play whatever role we can in making that happen. It would be good for Russia and Ukraine, but so far, it’s proving elusive." - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
In an interview with the Greek outlet Kathimerini, Rubio described the war in Ukraine as a "strategic stalemate" that can be overcome in only two ways: through negotiations or through escalation that goes beyond the original conflict.
Rubio said that, at present, there are no prospects for resolving the war through negotiations. According to him, Russia continues to insist on full control over Donbas, while for Ukraine "that condition is simply unacceptable."
"A diplomatic solution has eluded us, but we are prepared, if we can play a constructive role, to make it happen.
In the meantime, we watch with great concern as escalation could happen. Just yesterday, some ships were attacked in the Black Sea through a coordinated drone attack. We’re worried about a sabotage operation in a neighboring country that can spiral out of control.
And, obviously, there are clear indications that Russia will use the upcoming winter as something they want to use to destroy what remains of the electric grid in Ukraine and force them into capitulation.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has grown more effective in its ability to conduct long-range strikes deep into Russia.
So, we share the same concern. The whole world is going about this thing like something that could escalate and perhaps become a broader conflict. So, we stand prepared to facilitate and continue to explore any opportunity for a negotiated settlement," Rubio said.

Every day my fears continue to turn into reality while the orcs continue to go after everything that is not even the slightest military target.
While the rest of the world gets to turn of their TVs and phones, we cannot. We can only continue living this nightmare.
Please share fundraisers and all the things you are doing for Ukraine. We need your help. Do not look away.

Fifth year of the Russian war in Ukraine. Civilian casualties are climbing higher and higher, Russia openly plans another winter of terror against civilians, and starves people in the occupied town of Oleshky.
At the same time, the EU is lifting sanctions on Russian oligarchs, Putin is invited to the G20, and Ovechkin can openly support the invading regime without meaningful damage to his career.
The situation is heading in an awful direction where killing people is normalized. What are you doing, world?

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.
