🖕"Stop tapping your finger and talk like an equal" — Zelensky tells US Treasury Secretary President Zelensky revealed how he shut down Scott Bessent, the new US Treasury Secretary, after he tried to pressure Ukraine into signing a rare-earth metals deal before Zelensky’s White House visit. 💬 “He said: ‘You need to sign this now.’ I said: ‘Stop tapping your finger and let’s talk seriously.’ He probably expected a different kind of conversation. But I don’t see Ukraine as some third-rate country. We should talk as equals.” That’s the only right answer. Because we’re not some colony. We’re a nation bleeding daily to stop World War III.

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation." RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

Shame on each and every one of them

Lest We Forget

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In 1945, six women pulled off a computing miracle. They programmed the world’s first computer—with no manuals, no training. Then, a SINGLE assumption erased them from tech history for decades. The story of how ONE photo nearly deleted computing’s female founders: 🧵

The #Canucks are the first team in @NHL history to overcome a three-goal deficit in the final minute of a game.

Former Defense Secretary and retired Marine Corps General James Mattis has released a statement. Here is the text of the complete statement. IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled. The words “Equal Justice Under Law” are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind. We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers. The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation. When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside. We must reject any thinking of our cities as a “battlespace” that our uniformed military is called upon to “dominate.” At home, we should use our military only when requested to do so, on very rare occasions, by state governors. Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict—a false conflict—between the military and civilian society. It erodes the moral ground that ensures a trusted bond between men and women in uniform and the society they are sworn to protect, and of which they themselves are a part. Keeping public order rests with civilian state and local leaders who best understand their communities and are answerable to them. James Madison wrote in Federalist 14 that “America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat.” We do not need to militarize our response to protests. We need to unite around a common purpose. And it starts by guaranteeing that all of us are equal before the law. Instructions given by the military departments to our troops before the Normandy invasion reminded soldiers that “The Nazi slogan for destroying us…was ‘Divide and Conquer.’ Our American answer is ‘In Union there is Strength.’” We must summon that unity to surmount this crisis—confident that we are better than our politics. Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children. We can come through this trying time stronger, and with a renewed sense of purpose and respect for one another. The pandemic has shown us that it is not only our troops who are willing to offer the ultimate sacrifice for the safety of the community. Americans in hospitals, grocery stores, post offices, and elsewhere have put their lives on the line in order to serve their fellow citizens and their country. We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square. We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution. At the same time, we must remember Lincoln’s “better angels,” and listen to them, as we work to unite. Only by adopting a new path—which means, in truth, returning to the original path of our founding ideals—will we again be a country admired and respected at home and abroad. -Veterans For Common Sense

For the #HandsOff2025 , there were a group of seniors that couldn't make it to the Capitol. So they held their very own! 57 of them came out! Aged 67-104! They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them! They had s sign making day before the event! 🥰

Like father like son.

Who else finds it stunning that Trump’s sacrificial lamb’s family and friends have never said a word about him or his death.

BREAKING: Senator Mitt Romney unleashes scathing ridicule on six-time bankrupt billionaire Trump, telling his audience Trump is not a huge success, nor does he know what he's talking about. "A business genius he is not." Brutal truth. 🔥🔥

Choose your own idiot. I certainly have one in mind.

Excellent timeline cleanse.

Even as trade, tariffs, borders divide, and other tensions rise between nations, our shared humanity unites us — we are one people, one heart, one earth, one global family standing together in hope and solidarity. Through this video from the Yukon (Canada), I share joy and hope with the world and our shared humanity.
