Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl    ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how USAID would’ve spent that $$: 🏈Shipped the 29K metric tons of US food on US ships instead of letting it rot in a Texas warehouse. youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid #standwithUSAID

The disruptions at USAID are directly impacting essential services in Ukraine, including life-saving services offered by Club Eney in Kyiv. Please consider supporting our fundraiser for Club Eney or sharing it with your friends. Every bit helps and is so very needed! chuffed.org/project/1187...

If you are feeling overwhelmed, it makes perfect sense. I want to once again offer that it's so much better to immerse yourself in only one or two things. Follow the news about just those focus areas. Importantly find concrete small actions to take in those specific areas. Key is consistency.

Putin has set up a trap for Trump by repeating his claim that russia is always prepared to negotiate, but cannot negotiate with Zelensky because he's illegitimate. Pu also flatters Trump by referring to the 2020 election as stolen. I hope Trump's advisors hold him off from falling into the trap.

Let's talk about why sunflower seeds. 🌻 are a symbol of Ukrainian culture and identity. But also, there is this lady: "You are occupiers, you are fascists! At least put (🌻)seeds in your pockets so that when you fall and die (in battle) flowers will grow there." www.theguardian.com/world/video/...

I think there's a lot of good things to be said about RedNote, but one ongoing question I have is that if a CCP-controlled app is where 🇺🇸 people are encountering Chinese culture for the first time, what's the available platform for encouraging them to Google "uygjur internment" for the first time?

Propaganda? Puh-lease A very authentic Soviet joke: Man walks into a completely empty store and scoffs: Not a single loaf of bread, what are we supposed to eat?? Annoyed sales woman responds: Comrade, here we don't have shoes. They don't have food next door.

Reminds me of that time I crashed my bike as a little kid, and I told my mom, who always warned me about reckless "hotdogging" in the street, that I fell because I was "trying to be a hamburger." This is instance 184/infinity when it inexplicably occurred to zero adults to screen me for autism.
