I canceled my membership a month after it opened. My gut told me this is NOT the place to be. Never regretted it and today it proves I was right to cancel that membership.
I don't use it because I just thought it was useless in some ways and really changing society in others just like Tik Tok. Nobody needs to see their friends and family curating a staged life that has no connection to the reality. I find it bizarre and disconcerting.
*MAGA Republicans. Zelenskyy’s soul and generosity are extraordinary. My god, the man has been fighting off the Russian invasion for nearly 3 years and yet he’s making the time and effort to send people to fight fires in California. I’m gobsmacked.

Please cancel your Instagram account if you are actually against Annoying Orange and not just complaining a list of us renegades for the state and AG departments to attack.
No. We are here exactly to NOT to follow you on Instagram, sorry. If you want, you can duplicate your posts on those crazy toxic propaganda networks like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
I'm ashamed of this next president frump, Mexico and Canada have both come to our aid. Now President Zilensky offering. Frump should take lessons but he as no Honor or Morality. He's just a fat orange Bully
l ashamed of us as a species most of the time, the majority are narcissists in some form, then there's one like Vlodimir Zelensky!
Slava Ukraine.🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
And the rest of the sane humans!
Zelensky destroyed his own country. 7 million fled to the EU and none want to return. He cancelled elections to keep power (if they have draft records they can vote). He loaded his country with debt and wasted billions to make them the poorest in the region. He did not need to escalate.
Zelensky is a great communicator and persuader. This offer and the offer to buy from the US military equipment and weapons using Russian money could persuade Trump to make a deal. Note Putin has not offered Trump anything. And Trump won. He doesn't need Putin anymore.
The world had its doubts, but this man stood up against Russia and didn't bend, didn't run, and hasn't surrendered. Now he wants to send fire fighters to California, even though the Republican led peanut gallery will probably end this country's support. Seriously, we don't deserve him. He's the GOAT
Take a look at what he used to do for a living before leading his country on this courageous fight. One never knows where the best leaders are being formed right now...
King DonOld’s command of English leaves rather a lot to be desired. (To paraphrase an old comic sketch: he says all the right words but not necessarily in the right order!)
How much does it cost to provide separate Secret Service protection for Orange Shitler & Melania to live separately? How much is the taxpayer paying to protect Usay, Qusay, Ivanka etc?
Most of that money was already set aside for DOD budget. That's why the $60 billion aid bill passed in April was an APPROPRIATIONS bill because they were deciding how to APPROPRIATE the funds that were already being spent on Defense. Most of that $60 billion is in the form of old outdated weapons
If you imagine that your money is going overseas, you can rest easy in knowing that most of your taxes go the rich. We still SUBSIDIZE oil companies. Your taxes paid for Jeff Bezos child tax credit (yes he did that.) Ukraine is a good cause and the least of our worries.
Well he said it was a waste of money and lives even before the election, he has spoken to both leaders, and yet, it’s not enough of a waste of money or lives until AFTER he is sworn in… coz why stop it now…. Let’s just wait
Don't know why this made me think this, but during the Trump presidency. When we traveled abroad, we would tell people we are from California. It seemed Europeans knew enough about US politics to understand we probably weren't Trump fans (although CA does have a lot of Trump voters).
Ukraine,
Putin invaded your country.
California understands and supports your efforts to fight and rid your country of the invaders. We both believe in a sovereign Country's efforts to fight for their democracy. We are also opposed to anyone in our country who helps Putin.
How many are the U.K. sending? None because they want the fire to spread to the Sussexes house as that will end all their problems of Harry and Meghan’s constant overshadowing of them and exposing their ineffectiveness. No tunnels in California?????
Ukraine will be welcomed by the California people and its Governor.
That's what decent people do.
When Texas has it's power losses, they can freeze in hell.
That's what climate change deniers and followers of Trump deserve.
NO‼️ LET HIM STAY AWAY FROM THEM. For “some” MAGA REPUBLICANS are RASSIST NUTzi that do NOT like others if they are NOT RASSIST NUTzi. Zelenskyy is NOTHING LIKE THEM‼️ NOTHING‼️and SHOULD STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM.
So at any time Russia could rain down missiles and set cities ablaze in Ukraine, yet Zelensky offers fire fighters who'll arrive after most fires are contained. I have a problem with this.
Your generous offer of assistance shows the world that Ukraine is a society able to fight a war against an aggressor with a larger military, and provide aid and comfort to its ally half a world away.
We are stronger and better because of our international alliances.
This is why his people respect him. They should stay and fight Russia rather than fires, but the sentiment is not lost on those of us that understand what caring for others means.
Help support Ukraine. Get on the phone or e-mail and tell someone in DC what you think. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
He's also a crazy, real-life example of life imitating art. In a TV series he played a teacher who accidentally gets elected President of Ukraine bc his anti-corruption stance.
He also has donated thousands of tons of grain to Gaza and Syria and Ukraine Special Forces were on the ground in Syria helping train the rebels on drones during their recent offensive to oust the dictator Assad. Ukraine also sent thousands of their troops to help us after 9/11 in the GWOT
example while i could afford a trip on the disability money it might take a bit of some of you to have my govt allow me to leave the province
they got weird rules about it
so helping in odd ways like pester govt people
or help /donate to a few poorer peeps
( not me)
I predict none will ever be sent. How will he fund this? Where will he find translators? Will they bring their own equipment or be trained on ours? He is not thinking clearly or this is just PR. Let's look back at this in 10 days, and see if we are being played...
When you think about it for a few minutes, you can easiy see it is completely impractical, and just for short term PR. I can explain the impracticalities, but just wait and you will see. Meanwhile Mexico made a real difference with little ego or fanfare. Don't get played by the clown...
A sick joke -- is he going to pay for it with the money we sent him after he skims off the top? How about some credit for Mexico who followed through and did what they said and made a real difference.
1. He is not an elected leader anymore, he seized power.
2. He is obviously lying, he does not have the resources. He is covering for the fact that LAFD donated to him and is now short (esp protection for the prisoners who do much of the work).
I think most of us have stayed above their lovel but each agregious act makes it less possible to do. It feels like it will require an uprising to dig out if this.
Trump should be doubly ashamed that other countries, even when faced with their own crises are offering aid to ours. This is what allies do! But that fool only knows enemies.
President Zelensky - soon to actually be one of the leaders of the free world, after the incoming fascist, self-serving, moronic autocrat is sworn in as POTUS in the United States.
I am not happy at all to say this.
I am embarrassed to say it, in truth.
I am ashamed to say it.
And all the Orange One and his MAGA fanatics/cronies can do is say how badly Gavin Newsom is running California. They also propose withholding aid because of politics.
These people are sick and they've just taken charge of the USA. They are DANGEROUS!!!!
GOD protect the USA and the whole world.
Nenn mich naiv, sag mir, dass die Übersetzung hapert -
aber dass eine Übersgriffskriegsnation Helfer über den Atlantik schickt statt vor Ort, das kann ich nur einer KI glauben. Äh- der natürlich nicht.
His own turf is literally on fire and yet he feels compelled to send help. It's an honorable thing to do, but keeping your fighters in the Ukraine makes more sense, your hands are full as it is. Amerikkka, get off your fucking ass and start taking care of your own, you fucking ingrate assholes.
Sad but maybe true, perhaps. I remember maga spewing b.s. in North Carolina hurricane. Then the disillusioned locals were literally hunting fema workers that were trying to help them.
Yep. For some reason, idiots like them seem incapable of understanding you can't recover from a massive hurricane in 72 hours. The Forgotten Coast of FL is STILL struggling more than 5 years after Michael hit. It takes time, money, and labor to repair the damage.
Key phrase there. "It's the honorable thing to do". That's what it's all about, we have been there for them with support. He is trying to do the same for us.
Understood. But, his country is suffering regardless. I just wish Amerikkka would show some empathy towards them instead of always thinking money/ funding is good enough...money doesn't buy empathy.
What an honorable and kind show of friendship between our two countries. I hope their firefighters do come, because they value they could add fighting alongside Americans culturally is invaluable, and it would be too proud of us to refuse when we could really use the (hu)manpower in LA right now
With a Republican majority in both houses it might be hard to stop the fascist regime. Thankfully big swings require 2/3rd vote, which just means more stagnation for us.
Let’s hope. We had a real general in charge of the military when he tried to send troops against protestors that told him to F Off…but he wants a Fox News host this term.
No, the MAGA Senators and even the House would loose their jobs...They know what side their bread is buttered on..but he may entice the MAGA spawn to sign up and tell them "you will go on a island vacation..then he would drop them at the Kremlin.".
They are going to upset trump...The Dems are going to stop him at everything that the orange wants...The orange will take it out on Johnson, berating him because her is so pliable and Thune in the Senate who has already told him, "This is the Senate we are independent of you."..
I thought that was the answer. The Ukrainians as much as we need them, need to stay closer to home since the Russians have been using Missles to target Civilian areas in their own country.
That’s an amazing gesture President Zelenskyy. Thank you but I would rather you keep your limited resources. The offer shows the kind of people Ukrainians are. 💙🇺🇦💙
I remember Iran even offering help after 9/11, but their offer was also rejected and Bush went on to label them as part of the "Axis of Evil", and well, it's been a shit-show with Iran since then.
I know, they took American hostages, but that was because we forced a murderous king/shah on them.
Nope. The Shah was installed after MI6 and CIA aided in the overthrow of Mohammad Mossadegh, the recently elected prime minister who was moving to nationalize Iran's oil.
I have pages to say about how we blew the opportunity to normalize relations with Iran in the early 21st century, and instead somehow cozied up to the very organization that attacked us.
American foreign policy is weird, disappointing, and extremely short sighted.
America accepting help from Cuba? That would not be consistent with U.S. rhetoric. People would start questioning the supposed incompetence of Cuba and the whole "Cuba effect". Governments are based on the assumption that they are legitimate, and they are legitimate because people believe they are.
That was under Bush 2~ more than 20 years ago. Ukraine, a country that's being invaded by an authoritarian right now with an incoming POTUS ready to hand the spoils to Putin, is offering to help us in 2025. That's pretty darn impressive.
I was pointing out the legacy of declining help. In the case of Cuba, they were not being invaded, but were under crippling economic sanctions from the country they wanted to help.
Isn't that the way it is? The rich are willing to screw people over to get richer, while those who struggle will literally give the shirt of their back to help a neighbor in need.
Zelensky is a real class act, respectfully. He is willing to offer resources to help the U.S. in an hour of need. He wants to join the west so bad. What more does he have to demonstrate! We need to welcome the Ukrainians with open arms and full NATO alliance.
I'm surprised power hungry cops in parts of CA haven't tried arresting the Mexican crews fighting the fire -- or the immigrants doing whatever they can to help.
Shit happened this winter Certain family member knowing completely, at the start of winter and during Christmas I am always completely depressed. Decided to bully me for a few weeks. Even called the cops to do a check on me to see if he succeeded in causing me to commit suicide. Won't. I Never will.

"Shithole countries.... Mexican rapists.... stupidest deal.... YUUUGE...
Countries like Nambia.... Covfefe.... bigly...."
But he is a qualified lawyer. So he understands what it takes - and is no idiot.
But it comes down to principles, which he has in spades. He has proven that
"I don't need a ride, I need ammo".
#PresidentZelensky🙏💌
#Ukraine🇺🇦💌🙏
This place is just angry libs.
Make up your mind.
His country is at war …. But still offers to help you Americans!!!!
What has Russia offered??? 😏
Legit. I’m in tears.
We have piece of shit Trump coming back and then there’s this selfless man.
I’m at loss for words.
You don’t have to. 💔

He’s the men’s man.
MAGA would love him.
What real leadership looks like. We don’t have many like him.
We are stronger and better because of our international alliances.

2. He is obviously lying, he does not have the resources. He is covering for the fact that LAFD donated to him and is now short (esp protection for the prisoners who do much of the work).
If he does help -- msg me. I will appologize.

Sad but true...
But the offer is MOST appreciated.
of things.
I mean, we don't deserve The Orange One either, but in a completely different way.
Thank you Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine for ignoring the hate and lies from maga to still come help our country in our time of need.
And I know you won't say it, so I will - fuck maga.
Canada, merci beaucoup & thank you! 🇨🇦
Mexico, muchas gracias! 🇲🇽
Plus, Native Americans, 900 incarcerated prisoners. Million Thank yous!
No community service for Felon #47 in Chief with 34 felony count!
I know, they took American hostages, but that was because we forced a murderous king/shah on them.
American foreign policy is weird, disappointing, and extremely short sighted.
Speaking from CA, though, thankfully on the north side of the Grapevine.
The fascists hate Ukraine and its people.
Mutual support is what it is all about.
That is what a true patriot and leader is.
