I sure can't blame our wonderful neighbors to the north, and forever allies (at least before Trump) to our President's (a convicted felon and insurrectionist) uncalled for, wrong, and stupid actions and words toward them.

“I feel so stupid, guilty, regretful—embarrassed is a huge one. I am absolutely embarrassed that I voted for Trump,” she said.

NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters. The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he was firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations, and would be looking for her replacement.

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

The US withdrawing from the @ipcc.bsky.social meetings on climate change does not bode well. It signals broader federal disengagement from international & domestic climate research. It will be disastrous as the US is the highest climate polluter & the proverbial climate chickens come home to roost.

I used the translate feature on the computer, it is amazing that this is where to find the news. Maybe we'll need HAM radios soon. reportersonline.nl/trump-dag-33...

“Zelensky shouldn’t have started the war with Russia.”

We were traveling in a 4 vehicle convoy in Bosnia (1997) and somehow ended up on a dead end road in this village, so I took this picture of these children. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

What MAGA and Trump have done to America's image abroad, and to informed Americans at home. "The American national anthem has been regularly booed by Canadian sports fans in recent weeks but this time it was the US home fans doing most of the booing. bbc.com/news/article...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Some of the usual chants at the #GeorgiaProtests: “Until the end!” “The end of winter is coming - the people’s spring is arriving!” “Georgia, revolt!” “We won’t stop, schedule the elections!”

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Despicable. Elon Musk has just suggested Zelenskyy is sending soldiers to die so he can make money. “What are they dying for? I’ll tell you what for. For the biggest graft machine I’ve seen in my life. Poor guys are getting sent into a meat grinder for money.”

“President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin”

Anyone who thrills at this or finds it funny, knows little or nothing about our Constitution, or the sacrifices made by the many men and women who gave all fighting to defend and preserve it. apnews.com/article/musk...

It's traditions like today that bring together all our branches of government to stand in respect of each other - that underpins the guardrails of our democracy. The only power that the Constitution truly recognizes is power that's capable of humbling itself before our people.

“I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my ⭐️obligations⭐️.” 💙 Amen JB #Pritzker

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Dark Pence is back.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

There's this, there has been reporting that they got numbers wrong & massively overstated, by tens of billions, the amount of the fraud. But Trump & Musk are claiming that the federal gov't is incompetent? That it is full of fraud & waste? Give me the fed'l bureaucracy any day over these buffoons.

"Ukrainians have been fighting and dying — not just to protect their sovereignty, their territorial integrity — they're also fighting to protect the rules-based order that keeps us all safe around the world," Trudeau said Wednesday." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
