This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The idea that JD Vance—who has never been to Ukaine and chalks up his knowledge to shit he read on the internet—believes he knows more about the situation in Ukraine than the man who has led it for the past 5.5 years is a perfect encapsulation of the havoc this administration is wreaking worldwide

A tough day for humanity, but this too will pass. Resist division. Build community. Build resilience. Build relationships. Show your neighbour you care, and show those who have lost their hearts to anger and darkness that there is a better way. No pasaràn. Not now. Not ever. 🇺🇦🇮🇪🇸🇪❤️

While I go pour more tea, here's a #painting earlier - a few years earlier. "Pine Island" I painted because I find the iconic scene of Connemara's Lough Derryclare irresistible so have painted it a few times. Knowing me I'll paint it again. #SpeirGorm #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear

Jennifer O’Connell wrote a disparaging article about teachers in @irishtimes.com during Covid lockdown in 2020 titled “If hairdressers ran our schools every child would be going back in September”. Same Jennifer now gives workshop to teachers via @newsbrandsireland.bsky.social? Seriously? #edchatie

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
