The air raid alerts are constant in Kharkiv today. Occasionally drones are buzzing over the city, and explosions could be heard just outside of it a few minutes ago.

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.

Ukrainian FP-2 drones struck a Russian ammo depot in occupied Luhansk, just near the Russian border and 150 km behind the front. The site belonged to the 101st brigade of the Russian 51st army and supplied. It’s offensive ops.

I will continue to stand with and support Palestine against the Israeli government occupation and genocide.

I will continue to condemn Netanazi and those who support the actions of his government.

I will not blame all Jewish people as I will not blame all Muslims for ISIS attacks.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:

Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection.

America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

Hope you all boycotted 47’s speech or talk or vent or whatever it was tonight. There’s no point in listening to him anyway since he can’t tell the truth and lives in his own reality! The damage to clean up in the WH grows by the day as 47 hangs gold on walls and vandalizes the Hall of Presidents.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

I'm not saying it makes a big difference or anything, but i do like to see elected officials stand up in front of congress and take these shitbags to task on all these issues. Yell some. Rage a little. Bring receipts. Make them look as dumb as they are. We're watching and this is what we wanna see

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

They got Midwesterners together too! Had a great time connecting with new Omaha Mayor John Ewing. He’s been a public servant for decades, working as a police officer in Omaha for 25 years.

We look forward to many great I-29 collaborations ahead for our communities.

A voluntary code of conduct for the grocery industry is a joke. With a national monopoly, a history of price fixing and gouging, family grocery bills already too high, and slated to rise by $1000 next year, concrete action is needed, not a wish list. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...
The grocery code of conduct will take effect Jan. 1. Here’s what this means for Canadian shoppers
Canada’s long-debated grocery code of conduct, designed to make the food supply chain fairer and more transparent, is finally taking shape after years of development and industry negotiations.

As energy prices skyrocket around the country, Iowa's energy prices have actual DECREASED! Why? Because Iowa invested in wind and solar. Wind and solar are the least expensive forms of energy and Iowa now gets 16% of their energy from wind and solar.
