Take a meditative moment to enjoy gorgeous marine life:

Russia is a terrorist state.

Fier de voir les militaires ukrainiens défiler aux côtés de nos forces. Un symbole de fraternité, de courage et de destin partagé. Pensées au peuple ukrainien qui lutte pour sa liberté et, avec elle, pour celle de tous les Européens.

Agreed!! A thousand years from now, people will still be talking about it with amazement. Glory to the Heroes!! 💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🔱🔱

Russia has once again claimed to have captured Kostiantynivka. Once again, it isn’t true. The Ukrainian 19th Army Corps has released footage from multiple locations across the city confirming Kostiantynivka remains under the control of the Ukrainian Defence Forces. This is just another Kremlin information operation designed to create the illusion of success where none exists.

As Gun Violence Awareness month ends and we begin Jaime's birthday month, we reflect on the past 8 1/2 years. It is so hard to believe that so much time has passed, yet time also feels as if it has stood still. Jaime is forever 14 while her friends have graduated from high school, college, and are now moving on in their adult lives. It remains impossible to explain the impact that gun violence has on everyone in the family affected and how far that impact reaches for all others who knew them or have simply followed along with their stories. Please think about Jaime a little extra this month. Do something kind in her honor. Be a good person. As we have done the past few years, we will be providing "Blessing Bags" to those who are homeless or simply in need. The bags filled with snacks, drinks, and toiletries will include an inspirational note in hopes to lift someone's spirits, because that is what Jaime would have wanted. She understood that not everyone was as fortunate and she eagerly tried to help. We would love to see your comments and messages of what wonderful things are being done this month to bring hope and joy to others. Please follow us on social media and check out our website at orangeribbonsforjaime.org to learn more about everything we have done to to keep Jaime's legacy alive, and all we continue to do.

As a Ukrainian soldier: we are tired, we are stretched, and we are still standing. Resilience here isn't a slogan on a poster. It's a decision we make again every single morning. 🇺🇦

Massive outflow of Russians from occupied Crimea.

Howard Buffett: I've never had friends like the ones I've found in Ukraine. Part of that comes from the danger people live with here every day. When I say goodbye and say, "See you on my next trip" — the answer is often: "I hope we're still here." –– UkrPravda. 1/

I wrote this on March 8th: "This war will not end when regime change is accomplished, Iran’s nuclear program is permanently dismantled, a certain percentage of Iranian conventional weapons are destroyed, or financial support for terrorism is depleted. This war will end when Trump decides to end it, regardless of actual progress towards these multiple objectives. He will end the war when he feels like it, just like he explained he started it, based on gut instinct. Then he will, of course, declare victory." Was I right? Eager to hear your comments.

I might lose followers for this Crimea is part of Ukraine The Russian Federation must fall for the world to be at peace

It almost looks to me as if Iran is mocking Trump. It looks to me as if Iran understands how to exploit his hyperbolic narratives, addiction to social media, and lack of impulse control. It looks to me as if Iran understands strategy and posture better than him. It looks to me as if Iran doesn't yet want to give him daylight he needs to exit the debacle he started while he continues to insult and threaten them through bloviation. And Trump cannot stop bloviating. He needs to project grandiosity or he'll melt. He'll keep posting threats. He'll spin the narrative to say that Iran is falling apart, has no leaders, and has no cards. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. That's a card. Iran has enriched uranium. That's a card. Iran took the US' best punch and still fires missiles and drones. That's a card. Iran still has its regime intact. That's a card. Iran knows Trump's polling is tanking partly due to the war. That's a card. Iran knows that they have negotiated a massively favorable deal. That's a card. Iran knows that Trump and Israel are at odds. That's an important card for them to exploit. Iran knows that it looks to much of the world as if they're the more credible actor. That's an amazing card. Iran knows Trump is trapped. That's the biggest card.
