Only 16% of Trump voters are sympathetic to Russia or believe any of Russia's propaganda. Trump continues to ignore is own supporters to keep finding ways to help Russia win in Ukraine.

We have a dear family friend who is Black with two biracial kids that are white presenting. When out in public, white folks assumed she was their nanny.
This is so familiar…

No one complained about the 1940’s solution for fascists except the fascists
I guess it’s a good thing we were so concerned about the right to speak our opinions being outlawed by a ruling class that we guaranteed it by making it the very first amendment in our Bill of Rights when we formed the country.

Great to see emissions beginning to fall as more and more renewable energy enters our grid. This is what happens when you set clear targets, and back them with a robust plan—unlike the Coalition’s zero target and zero plan, which would see both emissions and the cost of energy rise.
Australia records biggest annual drop in emissions outside pandemic
Record output from renewable energy means emissions from coal plants are down as Australia’s greenhouse output has fallen for the first time in years.

#Trump is going to use the death of the two national guardsman as reasoning for escalating military tactics—
Right wing pundits will disseminate talking points so MAGA knows to feign outrage
Meanwhile the terrorization of minorities by the thousands will continue as they erode our civil rights

We condemn the violence but even more so we condemn the source of the violence. It must be named Pete
Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

While some pretend that Israel's conduct can singularly be pinned on Netanyahu, an Israeli lawmaker just called for merciless bombing of Gaza.
"We have no hostages [left]... We no longer have to be precise. We can attack without mercy. Merciless! MERCILESS!"

Crazy shit. Suffering everywhere
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Praying for the two National Guard members shot this afternoon in DC. How about everyone just do the same and for now hold off on all the ugly finger pointing and divisive political takes?

I keep seeing people say that Trump will resign. He isn’t going anywhere unless he’s incapacitated or deceased. If he is going down, he will try to take the whole country down with him. And he can only do that provided he’s in power. We are entering a dangerous period in this national nightmare.

What goes around comes around. The fish rots from the head
There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.
