Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Americans! There are a still a LOT of congresspeople who support Ukraine, even GOP. Many of them sincerely hate Russia, and this could break them from Trump. Whoever you voted for, it's our responsibility to try. Contact your member and tell them WE ARE NOT RUSSIA! www.congress.gov/members/find...

Last week, FEMA removed an interactive mapping tool from its website showing in local detail how climate change could affect the risk of hurricanes, floods, wildfires and other hazards across the country. Two data scientist rebuilt it within a week. 🧪

I don’t know if it’s possible to quantify how much global influence and power this administration has willfully squandered in the past four weeks. It is a national security disaster.

I have never witnessed a more embarrassing moment for America. Anyone who supports what Trump and Vance just did to Zelensky, an ally and a leader this country has rightly rallied around, is lost and gone for good. That was a national disgrace.

This is one of the scariest, most open top level displays of gangsterism I’ve seen yet. I think of those I know who’ve lost loved ones in Ukraine. Fuck these motherfucking fascists now and forever.

Describing the Russian invasion of Ukraine as an “ethnic rivalry” is almost incomprehensible.

DEFCON 11 means you met a cute guy at the funeral for Putin and Xi and Kim, and he treated you to front row tickets to the trial of Trump and Musk which was a solid great time, and afterwards you met the new leader of the free world and she shook your hand and everything was all right.

Loved listening to this interview (search New York Times The Interview on your podcatcher). Many wise and thoughtful insights about Covid and burnout but my favorite was the inescapable fact that hummingbirds are "tiny assholes" who are "small bundles of sass and fury."

That’s the federal government’s digital security agency, CISA, telling its employees in so many words to report their activities to an email account outside the chain of command with no real information about who will receive and review their messages or how secure they’ll be.

I've spent a lot of time rambling around Oregon's second district, which takes up two thirds of our state and is as rural and Republican as it gets... if they're shouting "tax the rich" and "tax Elon" in LaGrande, something is definitely happening here.
