Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

We know that all matter (either in the form of solid, liquid, or gas) is made up of particles, and that the distance between these particles depends on the form the matter takes.
What we don't know is which one of them is the Ross.

Seven years ago today was the worst day of my life. On that day, a 19-year-old who never should’ve had access to a gun in the first place entered my high school with an AR-15 and took the lives of 17 students and faculty members and injured 17 others.

7 years go and it seems like a lifetime has passed and like it was just yesterday still. Please remember that in every single on of these shootings the victims are human beings with families, friends and loved ones. They are not numbers. Time passes but the pain doesn't.

"The attempted renaming of the Gulf of Mexico is a fitting memorial to the Trump era. Trump’s act of imperial boastfulness unwittingly reveals a disquieting self-awareness of imperial decline. As so often, Trump claims to be a winner while acting like a loser."

The ‘Gulf of America’ Is an Admission of Defeat
Trump’s renaming of the Gulf of Mexico is not triumphant but pathetic.
