America’s heart beats with Ukraine’s brave souls, pouring out military might, funds, and tears to fuel their desperate stand for freedom. We stand with them, united and unwavering. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦💙🇺🇸

Power of the people…

❗️“Thank you all for your help and for the sense of unity – unity that is as important now as it is in 2022,” Zelenskyy said. “I am proud of our people, proud of everyone who fights, who helps and believes – believes that evil should not win in wars.”

“It’s time to make a stand. Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking the US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over the democracies of a free Europe. He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny”

danish pm frederiksen in new interview: “i don’t believe in a strategy of denmark first, or europe first. i believe in a shared commitment to democracy and cooperation first.”

I don't believe most (reasonable) people are looking to our democratic leaders for solutions in this moment but rather they are looking for hope. I have talked to thousands of people who are scared... and all are looking for assurance that we will be ok... EVENTUALLY. Its why I'm out here fighting

Wow! What a hero! 💙

He should be our messenger.

Gov. Pritzker…”My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America — and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one,” he said. “I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my ⭐️obligations⭐️.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/19/g...

The rapidity with which I am becoming a Pritzker stan ...

👉 Gutting Medicaid is INHUMANE 🏥 70 million people rely on it. Slashing it is not policy—it is a DEATH sentence. Governor Pritzker is spot on in his State of the State speech. WE MUST FIGHT BACK NOW. 📢 CALL 👉 PROTEST 👉 ORGANIZE Let’s remind them we're still here! If you AGREE 🔁 💙 ✅ #Resist

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

If you were REALLY looking for corruption, you wouldn't be firing independent inspector generals and using your DOJ to force a corruption case against a Democratic Mayor in NYC to be dismissed.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Today in digital authoritarianism prepping: downloading all my Kindle books (I know -- why did I buy 500 kindle books over the past decade? because I was a fool!) and all my Google docs (it's time to go back to my old friend, Open Office).

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

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Didn’t Trump sign an executive order demanding government employees return to the office?

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

Trump has been a Russian asset since the 80s and was the reason I went onto Twitter in 2016 to try to warn people. He is a vile sociopath and the lies he is spreading are straight from the Kremlin. What is most important is Europe devising a plan and putting it into action ASAP

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

There will never be a legitimate negotiation with Russia that Ukraine can trust. Never. I want to see Ukraine fight to the bloody end with Russia and destroy all that Putin uses to terrorize the world. I want to see the rest of the world jump in...and help...crush Russia.
