@flexghost At least some Republicans still support democratic, embattled Ukraine, including McConnell and McCarthy. Too bad they don't support democracy at home too.

@kevinrns ..and plant trees! and support those who protect trees! Bolsonero was to the Amazon, as COVID is to the lungs. Using Ecosia as a browser has caused millions of trees to be planted!

@kevinrns Yes. The experts say saving one big tree in the Amazon or wherever, is many times more effective at sequestering carbon than planting new trees, although we should do both, and shut down coal plants.

@JonathanMBR Habari za Asabuhi? I was a Mwalimu in Narok District several decades ago with the Peace Corps. I enjoy your posts and pictures about current Kenyan life. Asante

@don Yep. China shows it knows it picked the losing side. Of course they're still profiting by circumventing sanctions and buying cheap Russian oil.

@StillIRise1963 Do we dream of a future where Bezos and Crow have to sell their super yachts to pay back taxes? Where Harlan has to put justice Thomas up for adoption? Where Musk has to treat employees like humans? Where Ketanji Brown is Chief Justice of a thirteen member Supreme Court worthy of it's name? Yes! #Oligarchs #SCOTUS #VotingRightsAct

@backpackandsnorkel You know what else is magical: the way the CCP can disappear innocent Uyghurs into it's Gulag. Shilling for dollars are we? #UyghurGenocide #China

@backpackandsnorkel I will defer to the local expert on gulags, or perhaps I should say: the expert in ignoring them.

@black_intellect We need some antifa defense clubs, my son with a martial arts background shows up at events if the Proud Boy types are expected, but it doesn't seem organized. Of course in New Mexico we're generally mainly POC so it hasn't much of a problem, but I really admire folks who show up to protect drag show participants and supporters in places like Texas. #Antifa

@realTuckFrumper Fox as the pro-slavery channel isn't much of a surprise.

@Sherifazuhur @palestine @israel Does the KKK have an affiliate in Israel? The actions of the mob of Jewish settlers in June rampaging through this Palestinian village and burning homes of innocent Palestinians sure reminds me of life in the south during pre-civil rights time. See the Middle East Monitor article above for details. One American family with roots in Palestine had their home burned. Our unconditional American funding of Israel seems counter-productive. #Palestine #BDS

@oatmeal I would argue that this is worse than war mongering in that currently the UN, Amnesty International, & the largest Israeli Human Rights NGO, B'tsalem, term Israel's rule in Palestine, as Apartheid, and apartheid & ethnic dispossession of Palestinian land are intertwined. As far as warfare is concerned, the US is rightfully backing Ukraine as it tries to defend its people from Russian atrocities, & I gladly donate money for medical equipment and drones to help save lives. #Palestine

@oceesay Ha ha, Paul Biya is so old, the leading political scientists in Cameroon also have to be competent in Archaeology. 😉

@ssfckdt @acidvegas@supernets.social @blackmastodon I get a real kick out of your switching seamlessly between correcting a factually challenged troll, and MLS fandom. 👍

@kravietz @aral @DrALJONES Hamas is as likely to seek a political solution as ISIS is to give up gratuitous decapitation. Are you serious about Israeli intelligence ever thinking otherwise? Additionally, your two paragraphs seem at odds, as training escalation is not politically descalatory.

@stux As a parent: trust me - they're being punished plenty, as their son looks at life in prison. You'll see, if you ever have a child. This is already hell for both parents.

@anderspuck @bluGill @picard The Ukrainians really made life miserable for the Russians trying to cross on ferries and via pontoon bridges during the Kherson offensive. At the same time, the lack of an adequate Russian reinforcement and counterattack at the Dnipro bridgehead must be very encouraging. I suspect the Ukrainians will be very pleased if this advance pushes the russian artillery out of range of Kherson's civilian population this winter. #SlavaUkraini

@Tendar Everytime I see a picture like this of President Zelensky, and he has some member of his cabinet or administration right behind him, who looks like the big brother of the Incredible Hulk, I think that Putin sure picked the wrong place for his latest invasion. Of course, his single biggest mistake was in underestimating the size of Zelensky's heart, or that beating in the chest of each Ukrainian. #SlavaUkraini
