Not the first time but still shocking to hear comments from the US president that echo those from the Kremlin. Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war (Russia invaded) while also wrongly claiming Zelensky has just 4% approval rating (its 52%). www.ft.com/content/2506...

Trump stops payment on American infrastructure projects because only Joe Biden could get a major bill passed. Now he wants to spend your money rebuilding Gaza, which he plans to ethnically cleanse. That's real America First, baby.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Any other millennials feel like the last 17 years of their political life has been a complete joke? Post financial crash we were tricked into hope and optimism for the future to placate us. Meanwhile the corporate rats were working in the sewers plotting and scheming. And here we are.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

I have had iPhone since 2008. I can ONLY EVER USE ALARMS to actually be reminded about anything I need to take care of. Alert sound, then snooze until done. Repeat daily if you don’t want to do it that day. Add “must do now” if really important. #UX

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)
