It's Time for The World to Hear From The American People [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Right now, the lead story on DKos is some diatribe about crypto paybacks and another Trump maneuver.

Respectfully, I’m sick and tired of it.

The Ukrainian flag should be flying on the front page of Daily Kos with no other “story” than the Silent Majority of Americans who have a mob boss “speaking for us”.

I can’t find a single person in my social circles today who doesn’t want to reach out and call a Ukrainian citizen living in a war torn city and tell them we have their back. Tell them not to listen to “our leader” and his obsession with having “respect” and “gratitude” shown to him and his band of thugs personally. Not a single person who isn’t shaking like I am today, and isn’t mortally embarrassed and rattled to their core about our sudden lurch toward alliances with dictators and thugs.

This ISN’T who we are. This ISN’T about us anymore...our dicktator-in-chief isn’t speaking for the average American right now, and I’m f$cking sick and damn tired of it.

After the tip jar, I’m going to “write” to the world, and let them know how I FEEL. HOW AMERICANS FEEL RIGHT NOW. That despite Fox Propaganda Network and a pack of self-serving, 5 minutes of fame know-nothing social media parasites filling the airwaves with fascist nonsense, 80 PERCENT of us KNOW DAMN WELL THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS A DICTATOR, A MURDERER, and the SOLE AGRESSOR IN A HOSTILE TAKEOVER OF A DEMOCRATIC STATE WHOSE PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED LONG ENOUGH.

I invite you to do the same, and then our collective voices will be shared across the internet, across the mediasphere and to the world, if there is any justice left in this world.

And please, spare me the naysayer nonsense about “ineffective” this and “if we really want to help” that. If you don’t want to speak directly to the world, and share your true feelings about THEM AND THEIR PAIN AND SHOCK, respectfully I ask you just move on.

I’m f%cking tired of this, and I’m not going to take it any more. This White House doesn’t speak for me, and never will. I stand with NATO, I stand with Ukraine, and I stand with freedom and democracy everywhere — all the time.
