Welcome to my Comments MAGA

1/2 This 7-year-old girl was one of five children arrested by Russian police along with their mothers after the group attempted to leave flowers and child-made signs reading "No War" outside of the Ukrainian Embassy in Moscow nearly five years ago. The children and their mothers were daring to speak out about their country's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. They were taken away in a police van and detained at a nearby police station, where the officers reportedly shouted threats at the women that their children would be taken away and they would lose their parental rights; what ultimately happened to them is unknown. This is the regime the president of the United States has decided to reward. Even as Russia jails children for peace signs and inflicts "civic death" on anyone who dares to dissent, Trump has moved to throw its dictator an economic lifeline. On Friday, he issued an executive order gutting a sweeping sanctions package that Congress had passed just last month -- legislation meant to choke Putin's war machine, which cleared the Senate 86 to 11. Days earlier, he had moved to lift U.S. sanctions on Russian diesel. Trump's reasons for abandoning Ukraine to help a dictator were nakedly transparent. Gas prices have skyrocketed since his ongoing war with Iran, the midterms are weeks away, and he is desperate to help Republicans at the polls -- and Putin has been dangling lucrative business deals before Trump's family and inner circle, deals that would be worth billions if Russia's sanctions were lifted. Those five children were among the first of many. In the opening days of the war alone, more than 6,000 Russians were arrested for daring to speak out against an invasion that has since become one of the deadliest conflicts of the century -- the number of soldiers killed and wounded on both sides now estimated at nearly two million. And the machinery Russia built to crush that dissent has only grown more severe in the years since. Following the invasion, Russia passed a new media suppression law, an extension of their pre-existing 'fake news laws,' a type of anti-free speech law beloved by many dictators which allows a central government to ban the dissemination of any information it deems "unreliable" or "fake." These "fake news" laws criminalized the spread of what the government considers to be "false information" and violators face possible prison sentences of up to 15 years. In 2023, a new law introduced property confiscation for speech crimes -- a tactic human rights groups have compared to Stalin-era repression. As a result of these repressive laws, multiple Russian independent media outlets were forced to shut down and numerous journalists fled the country. Russia is now the world's third-largest jailer of journalists, with 50 currently behind bars on lengthy sentences. Russia's reach now extends beyond its borders. In August 2026, Putin signed what human rights groups and the UN have called a "civic death" law, targeting the exiles who fled his repression -- stripping them of passports, banking access, and property, and freezing their assets, in what the UN's special rapporteur described as an effort to make life outside Russia 'unsustainable' for anyone who dares to criticize the regime. The crackdown on the media corresponds with a similar crackdown on public protest; within weeks of the invasion, nearly 15,000 Russians were detained for protesting the war, including for such acts as simply holding a blank sign in public. Over 20,000 individuals have been subjected to severe reprisals for their anti-war positions, and Moscow is now holding more than 1,800 political prisoners, according to the UN's special rapporteur on human rights in Russia. Children are being punished in Russia for anti-war dissent -- becoming victims of political persecution for their own views and those of their parents.

Does anything encapsulate the knuckle-dragging MAGA movement better than a Trump rally crowd chanting "USA" over and over while a man beats a woman who is wearing a "Release the Epstein files" shirt? #ResistTrump
