My grandma was born in Ukraine while it was part of the USSR. She lost her father and her fiancé to the Bolsheviks and Leninists, respectively. She was a refugee for years until she married my grandpa, a widower, and moved to the US. #Ukraine

"To say, then, that Trump lacks the temperament or attention span to be a dictator offers little comfort. He is patrimonialism’s perfect organism. He recognizes no distinction between what is public and private, legal and illegal, formal and informal, national and personal."

"If this were poker, Putin is holding a pair of twos and bluffing by going all in. Trump, instead of calling Putin’s bluff, is saying, “I think I’ll fold.”"

"Young adults overindex on the potential for good stuff to result from the risks they take, and underindex on potential adverse consequences. This kind of impulsiveness also seems evident in the early acts of the Trump administration."

Excellent summary of GLRI and EPA in the Great Lakes. We have to look at both the environmental impacts AND the economic impacts....invasive species threaten the $7bil/year fisheries industry in the GL....this funding helps protect that! Environmentalism is not always a fight against economics! 🧪🌎

Gift link Trump is blackmailing Ukraina to hand over half of its mineral resources, worth significantly more than the value of aid they received. As one commentator says: Trump diplomacy in a nutshell, he approaches a democracy fighting for its freedom and he asks, "What's in this for us?"

"The only thing these policies… are designed to do, is alter the behavior and values of the civil service. Suddenly, and not accidentally, people who work for the American federal government are having the same experience as people who find themselves living under foreign occupation."

This is why resistance matters. People take things down just IN CASE they might end up being illegal. That is capitulation. If the order gets struck down, will you remember what to put back up? Resistance is making the government come find you and force you to take something down.
