Donate to Ukraine’s defenders
The National Bank of Ukraine has decided to open a special fundraising account to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Now would be a good time to donate to the Ukrainian army. Few dollars/euros may not seem like much compared to the multibillion aid packages but it can still save someone’s life

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.

To Prez, this remains one of best community notes of all time. To prove we can’t be beaten this idiot tweets a picture of 5 of our warships, 4 of which had been sunk. The remaining is probably now out of action.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Trump Derangement Syndrome’ is pure projection. It’s a slogan used to shut down criticism, while the real derangement shows up as blind loyalty, rejection of facts, and devotion to one man over democracy.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Ukraine's biggest threat to Putin’s mafia state was democracy in Ukraine. And that’s what he was really scared of. So he attacked it. Trump and his fascists have the same fear. They are afraid of democracy.
