Random acts of kindness are always a good idea. I follow journalists. I'm here to share accurate news, and to promote fundraisers for Ukraine.

Please join me in a new campaign to help protect Ukrainians in a very special way. My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. They are making an important point. One way to find our own courage is to act in support those who are showing it

If you live in or you know anyone in Tennessee’s 7th district, TODAY is the LAST day to vote early.
And tell everyone you know who hasn’t voted that it is all about turnout next Tuesday. We need as many people showing up to the polls. We can do this.

Let this sink in: in a Tennessee district that Trump won by 22 points in 2024, Aftyn Behn, the Democratic candidate, has closed that gap by *20* points. Only 2 points separate her and her opponent. Republicans & Trump are running scared.
All eyes on Tennessee.

Russia continues to destroy the city. A residential building in Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region, caught fire after yet another strike. Flames have engulfed parts of the area as emergency services battle the aftermath.

Anecdotally, while I was looking for a source to refer to for this article with the search words ”Russia rejects US peace plan”, I found media articles on that topic from November 2024, February, May, June, September, and October 2025.
Made an effort to establish a timeline of this latest iteration of essentially the same old attempt by the Trump administration to force a peace deal, doomed to fail like the previous three times.
The number of plot twists would have been amusing, if it wasn’t so cruel to Ukraine.

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.
