We simultaneously have H.R. 10912 being introduced to amend third party transfers to get defense articles to Ukraine faster while Trump is racing to lift even more sanctions on Russia. While Melania touts a deal that amounts to sending Oleshky survivors into Russian filtration camps to silence them.

Aaron Gies @aarongies.bsky.social has signed the Track Ukraine Pledge! He is running as a Democrat in New York's 23rd Congressional District [NY-23] on November 3. ✅Supports military aid ✅Supports financial aid ✅Supports sanctions ✅Condemns ethnic cleansing ✅Condemns child trafficking
Going further, Lula began abstaining on UN resolutions assigning blame to Russia in 2025 and affirming Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. One reason RU liked Lula is Bolsanaro said he would consider leaving BRICS. Yet he’s in alignment with Trump, who is furthering Putin-Xi goals in UA

The California Insurance Commissioner’s choices affect every homeowner and driver in the state. Jane Kim is an incompetent political climber who would blow up California’s already-in-crisis insurance market if elected. It is VITALLY IMPORTANT that every Californian vote for Ben Allen.
In my opinion, progressives like Sanders should not be endorsing hardcore NIMBYs like Kim. And hardcore NIMBYs like Kim should not be allowed to call themselves progressives.

“In his 2023 self-published memoir, John Deaton details several transgressions: shootout & possible homicide, drunk driving, filing a false police report while serving as a Marine JAG officer, and, perhaps most notably, that as an adult he approached a 15-year-old girl, began a sexual relationship"
John Deaton is running in Massachusetts' Republican Senate primary on Tuesday. ❌Opposes military aid

My friend @vlstarodubtsev.bsky.social a war veteran and scholar was attacked and viciously beaten by far-right thugs in Lviv while on his way to give a lecture on the history of labor and socialist movements in Galicia for UA’s main democratic socialist org. 20 vs 1. Fucking cowards.
Imagine being left of center and having the same foreign policy platform on Ukraine as Randy Fine.
Republican Randy Fine is running for reelection in Florida's 6th Congressional District [FL-06] on November 3. ❌Voted against the Ukraine Support Act ✅Supports sanctions ❌No alternative to failed negotiations

China has trained Russian troops. They are heavily involved in the occupied territories through over 17 major corporations. Xi could have ended the war. It's why democracy is so important. These conversations are simply not possible in Chinese society. We always focus entirely on EU & US.
Trump: Xi has been very fair on Ukraine

turns out most american jews are progressive democrats who are not going to vote for a republican because of islamophobic pro-israel fearmongering, no matter how much these folks wishcast otherwise
This is functionally equivalent to the CBS exec who hollered at the reporter about how much better she knew Mideast politics.

Don't necessarily agree w/ everything LC publishes, but it feels strange to me for people to be reading this as "punching left" when the thesis is very plainly: "No, INTERNET POLITICS are awash in antisemitism because we let fascists run the place and adopt their behaviors;" which is observably true
"There is an antisemitism problem on the left because the left consists of people, and modern internet culture is built out of bigotry and slurs from the ground up." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-native-l...

⚡️US-Russia-China summit would only 'encourage Putin to continue this war,' Ukraine says. "A trilateral meeting between the leaders of Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia could help end the war sooner," Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said.

typically great stuff from @goldwagnathan.bsky.social on how indulging in the libidinal lust for slurs and dehumanization crosses ideological lines--and yet sets us all on the same dark path

Mary Peltola @marypeltola.com, running for U.S. Senate in Alaska [AK-Sen], on Ukraine at last week's Alaska Public Media debate: "I think it's so important that we stand with Ukraine and our allies… I think we should be doing everything in our power to help support them. Not bolstering up Russia."

Europe needs to consider a No Fly Zone over Ukraine this winter. The chances of russia accepting it and focusing on the frontline are higher than the danger of it picking a fight w NATO. Not doing it out of fear means Ru sabotage and strikes on Europe will keep escalating because russia smells fear.

I am shocked at this news. I was privileged to be interviewed by Vladyslav on radical republicanism (the interview, which he translated into Ukrainian, is here: respublica.social/sotsialnie-r...) Sending solidarity and warm wishes for a quick and full recovery.
