Trump still wants to work with Putin. Let that sink in America.

How about debating Liz Cheney? I have no doubt he’ll never agree to debate her.

A Supreme Court justice really shouldn't be ruling on cases about people trying to overthrow the government when his wife was one of those people

Andriy Vasylenko is a baker in Ukraine. When the war in Ukraine started, instead of fleeing, he stayed behind to look after those who couldn't afford to leave. He's using his bakery to make food for anyone who needs it. He's providing over 1000 meals a day.

Intimidation. And it will be a disaster if the U.S. backs down to this primitive chest-beating. – at Ukraine

Great suggestion
Would you over here stop electing people like Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush and you over here stop electing the Madison Cawthorn and Marjorie Taylor Greene types. Ok, thank you so much.

<repost from FB; cred below> The Japanese have a spiritual art called Kintsugi where instead of throwing a broken pot away they join the broken pottery pieces together with gold with the idea that embracing our brokenness is where a stronger and more beautiful life is created.

Collectively, we in the United States live lives of privilege. We often equate inconvenience with suffering, and not being able to do anything we want as “tyranny” and oppression. We’re spoiled. The world thinks we’re weak. Time for us to show the world we can take a punch. 💪🏼🇺🇦

If you are unable to deeply understand people with different values, you cannot understand politics, and you cannot even understand yourself. Your values will seem like a part of objective reality to you, and how you see the world and feel about yourself is controlled by others.

Jesus leads us to keep the door open for people, he never lets us shut the door on anyone out of contempt or cynicism.

Touché. But you've put your finger on the difference between politics & religion. Politics is about building coalitions between people who can tolerate each other even though they sometimes disagree. Religion is about transcendent love. Politics will never be as pure as religion.

Replying to @johnpavlovitz
A coalition of reasonable Democrats, independents, and moderate Republicans is enough to win sustained control of the national government. The question is, do the center-left and center-right actually want to compromise and work together to stop Trumpism? I sure hope so.

So Mike Lindell is a complete nutbag. He's an embarrassment to Minnesota. He has lost his damn mind. All that being true, electronic voting machines need to go. That's a non-partisan issue. We've been pushing for all #PaperBallots for years in the U.S. bc of tampering issues.

This is how human beings are supposed to treat each other, regardless of where they come from!
Polish border with Ukraine. This is the best of humanity. People driving from all over Europe to offer refugees a lift and a room. @itvnews #ukraine
