Absolutely. President Zelenskyy did not provoke Russia’s invasion. Ukraine did not take Russian territory until long after Russia’s incursion into Ukraine. Putin is not a friend to US or global interests. It is cowardly for Trump to submit to Putin and a betrayal of our values.

Wholeheartedly agree.

I’m not surprised that Trump is once again trying to eliminate trans service members from the military, but I’m angry. I’m particularly angry about the verbiage that being trans “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life”.

So true… www.sheldoncomics.com/comic/four-m...

www.bbc.com/news/article... - Continuing with our descent into “he said/she said” hell, Meta will leave fact checking to users since everyone knows they’re less biased than actual professional fact checkers.

What a delightful little vignette!

I couldn’t agree more. Weaknesses in character are fundamental to espionage - knowingly placing someone with Hegeseth’s documented issues in a position of power and influence is beyond irresponsible.

If he’s in, I’m in. Thanks for your unflagging determination, @georgetakei.bsky.social!

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

Fun callback to one of the greats!

Obligatory first post. I love science, philosophy, and technology. My career focus is technology in healthcare; I believe we can help patients and practitioners achieve better outcomes. My chosen faith is Unitarian Universalist. I love reading speculative fiction and learning as much as I can.
