10 Ukraninans eliminated 2 NATO batallions in a day. Tell me more how Ukraine is not ready to join NATO. Tell me more how strong Europe is and how it is ready to defend itself in case Ukraine falls (and russians use Ukrainians to strengthen their attacking forces).

Ukrainians have been warning you for years and you had all the time and opportunities to eliminate russian threat when it was limited in Ukraine. Now when you see what you are facing it might be too late unless you act very fast and go all in. You've seen the alternative.

Me too, sadly.
I feel angry and anxious. How do you feel?

Never before have I wished the government would completely destroy the economy just because it might be the only way people will wake up and vote the criminals out.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Important perspective from Greenland.

This.
We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
Footage shows Danish troops arriving in Greenland as part of a new military deployment. Among the personnel who landed on the island is Major General Peter H. Boysen, Chief of the Danish Army Command. #Greenland

381 days. That’s how long the Black community in Montgomery walked, carpooled, and biked to dismantle bus segregation. It wasn't just a moment—it was one of the most organized acts of nonviolent resistance in history. And, one of the longest. (cont)

Last year I thought getting older is about finding joy in getting wiser, but then one day I had the best shave of my life, *so* smooth, & then realised I’d put the head of my razor on upside down.

Now I think getting older is about becoming tolerant of the idiot you have to work with.

Sorry, kids.

The regime is actively working to make living by a deadline harder. Taxes, elections, healthcare, bills. All affected by this ridiculous policy. See next post for more information.
