If they refused to go through a security screening, then they should not have been allowed in.

@lindyli they are so disgusting. The Republican Party is a National embarrassment at best and at worst all domestic terrorists.

Kevin McCarthy refused to escort Zelensky to the Capitol rotunda

Boebert and Gaetz refused to go through security screening

They also refused to stand or clap during his speech & were on their phones the whole time

Do you need any more proof the GOP is the Government of Putin?

A family of 3 will be sleeping in their car tonight, evicted less than a week before Christmas at the behest of #HabitatForHumanity, a "Christian" org.

Habitat hired an eviction lawyer who's on the board of United Way, which funds Habitat.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO ABOUT HABITAT/ HOUSING ORGS DOING THINGS LIKE THIS, please reach out to me.

This story's getting written regardless of if a big publication picks it up. It cannot stay below the radar.

“The Republicans who oppose support for Ukraine are in one sweeping disloyal blunder undercutting US national interests, those of our NATO allies, democracy in Ukraine and worldwide, international law, and decency while supporting Putin, Russia, war crimes and an unstable world.”

-David Rothkopf

Yup! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Zelensky to Congress: “Even if there is no electricity the light of our faith in ourselves will not be put out."

This is what fascist propaganda looks like.

Thanks to everyone who hopped on this bus with us in the last month!

The way the Ukrainian military is dismantling the Russian army, the United States is getting the deal of the century with the aid package we are providing.

Imagine the amount of defense spending that wasn't able to accomplish what Ukraine has done in a year.

It will take Russia decades to replenish its military if it is even possible with the economic sanctions.

The humanitarian aspect of this conflict is catastrophic. We can't waste time as millions are under the constant threat of death.

Polite reminder, mastodon users with visual impairments went to a lot of trouble getting people to use the alternative text description facility on image uploads. Spending energy over the past 5 years reminding people in the kindest ways to caption images. Please lets not lose that ethos. There are so many photos without alternative text captions now. It isn't difficult to do, and only takes a little effort to develop the habit. #image #Caption

Curious to know which books and/or organizations shaped your #SocialJustice and #RacialEquity lens

Looking at this book list from https://antiraciststarterpack.com/

The first book I read on #RaceConscious perspectives was #RaceMatters from #CornelWest

I typically recommend #HowToBeAnAntiRacist by #IbramXKendi to folks who are new to learning about #antiracism and #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs by #MariameKaba for folks who are learning about #CommunityOrganizing with an #abolitionist lens

The orgs I recommend following to learn the basics around social justice issues are #MovementForBlackLives #M4BL #NDNCollective #ShowingUpForRacialJustice #SURJ #CriticalResistance and so many others

If you're commenting on Zelenskyy's clothing-

You've got nothing else.
The man is a hero.

President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Congress to continue to support Ukraine. “Your money is not charity,” he said. “It’s an investment.” https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1605738660107886592

Pres. Zelenskyy: "The battle is not only for life, freedom, and security of Ukrainians or any other nation which Russia attempts to conquer. The struggle will define in what world our children and our grandchildren will live...this battle cannot be frozen...it cannot be ignored."

There are those who look at President Zelensky and the Ukrainians as if the aid request is merely self-serving—as if they don’t grasp that the fight with Putin and Russia is not only for their sovereignty but for NATO and all those who believe in and are dedicated to democracy and justice.
