<\/a><\/p>\nJennifer Rubin: Another Undaunted City<\/a><\/h2>\nCharlotte defends democracy and decency<\/p>\n
North Carolina was Donald Trump\u2019s past week\u2019s site for a violent, chaotic, wasteful, and abusive invasion of Custom and Border Patrol agents. Beginning in Charlotte and quickly spreading to other cities, the operations have not focused on the \u201cworst of the worst<\/a>\u201d as Donald Trump and his Homeland Security thugs falsely claim.<\/p>\nOnce again, horrifying scenes have played out of immigrants and U.S. citizens alike being snared by masked agents in unmarked cars. \u201cEyewitness accounts and video circulated online show federal agents in tactical gear detaining people at locations across the city, including storefronts and public spaces,\u201d Newsweek reported<\/a>. \u201cIn one incident, members of a church congregation in east Charlotte said masked agents entered a yard where congregants were working and detained a man.\u201d<\/p>\nThe video is of an arrest of a Honduran-born U.S. citizen, Willy Aceituno, during which his car window was smashed and he was shoved to the ground, went viral. Aceituno said he voted for Trump but now concedes<\/a>, \u201cIt was the worst decision of my life.\u201d He was later released.<\/p>\nIn response to the mayhem, state and city officials\u2014as did those in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland\u2014have risen to the occasion. In concert with magnificent displays of peaceful protest and community solidarity, state and local officials have been sending a powerful message that they are prepared to defend their neighbors against the predation of an unhinged, racist autocrat and his underlings.

\nThat Trump\u2019s masked forces were ordered to focus their efforts on Charlotte is notable: It is a city that attests to the growing Latino presence in American society generally.<\/p>\n

WSJ: Trump Issues an Ultimatum to Ukraine<\/a><\/h2>\nThe Trump Administration is making another run at ending the war in Ukraine, and a lasting peace with honor would be a laudable achievement. But for three years the only peace on offer has been Ukraine\u2019s surrender, and the latest American offer\u2014really, an ultimatum\u2014is merely another dressed-up version.<\/p>\n
Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – November 21, 2025<\/a><\/h2>\nUkraine\u2019s president Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Ukrainian people today. The current moment, he said, is \u201cone of the most difficult\u201d for the country. \u201cUkraine may soon face an extremely difficult choice. Either the loss of dignity or the risk of losing a key partner. Either 28 complicated points or the hardest winter yet\u2014and the risks that follow,\u201d Zelensky said.<\/p>\n
Zelensky\u2019s use of the word \u201cdignity\u201d recalled Ukraine\u2019s 2014 \u201cRevolution of Dignity\u201d that ousted Russian-aligned president Viktor Yanukovych and turned the country toward Europe.
\n…<\/p>\n
This plan, complete with its suggestion that the U.S. is no longer truly a part of NATO but can broker between NATO and Russia, would replace the post\u2013World War II rules-based international order with a new version of an older order. In the world before NATO and the other international institutions that were created after World War II, powerful countries dominated smaller countries, which had to do as their powerful neighbors demanded in order to survive.
