My Dad felt a responsibility to be an informed citizen and vote. One time in my youth during a political conversation I said, “I don’t care.” My Father looking shocked replied, “You don’t care?" I try to make up for that time when I disappointed him.
Russia is bluffing with disinformation. Stepped up the effort with Witkoff and Kushner. Putin's ego wants war, doesn't want nor understand diplomacy.
Here is a reality check from Ukraine:

Witkoff and Kushner, Putin fanboys, are just interested in carving up Ukraine to exploit business ventures. They are not foreign policy experts. They are doing the same with Gaza, supporting Israel's push to take it over. Not a peace plan, business interests.

Russians are using golf carts instead of tanks. Why are U.S. legacy media not covering the war fairly? All the problems Russia has and the wins for Ukraine.

If he has to tear down women and anyone he can’t control, don’t call him a leader. Call him a coward.

A good time to watch/rewatch this brilliant show with an environmental subtext? First time I saw it I was startled by the human condition on the spaceship. Is this us in the future?

A good time to revisit this article on its one-year anniversary... and questions around the murder of Venezuelans. How is this out-of-control person in charge of US military? He has two handlers, his wife and his brother.

My opinion: "Guernica" is Picasso's greatest contribution to the world. The overwhelming despair and terror of war thrust on human and animal, elevates the painting to a collective scream of the innocents.

When asked about the death of a W. Virginia National Guardsman, the President of the United States bragged about his electoral margin in her state.

When asked about the shooter, he called the reporter a stupid person.

Please stop holding quarter for anyone supporting this monstrous piece of shit.

"Birdsong is clearly audible in a recording made by soldiers near the frontline in Kharkiv region."
When we think of war, we often focus on people, but #animals hear and feel it too. I came across this article and thought it was worth sharing.

It explains how sound recordings in #Ukraine help us understand what the war means for #wildlife and the #environment.

Sound recordings can give us an animal-eye view of the war in Ukraine
Animals suffer in war just like humans. But research also tells us they can be very resilient.
