From battlefield to the floor of the US Congress. From the hands of heroes to the hearts of the American people. May we stand with the people of Ukraine until the aggressor is banished from their blood drenched soil, so sunflowers may grow again to celebrate their victory.
Every American has helped gift hope to their ally on foreign fields, where no U.S. soldier is being asked to lay down their life. Ukrainian men and women are doing that on our behalf to save democracy against a tyrant.
The great thing about having a culture war that's based on nothing except the deranged tantrums of conservative men is that absolutely anything can be roped into it. Like remote work.

We need to rewild people as much as we need to rewild the land & sea. Without an intimate relationship with the natural world how can we expect people to love, respect, care, protect + offer service to its recovery & regeneration? #NatureConnection is key! 💚

Republicans have a new future subject of ethics investigations and a hopeful removal from office.
Too bad this wasn’t a more prominent story before the election, but that’s what happens when local journalism gets decimated more and more and distractions that are less important to our day-to-day lives take over the news cycle of the main outlets.
The residents of New York’ 3rd district who won’t be getting any good representation, but that’s the GOP way.
Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction:

Institutional #journalism embracing the #fediverse is important.
Any pundit who is criticizing Pres. Zelenskyy's attire is failing to read the room, but moreover, they're just completely missing the point.
A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats have no time for suits and neckties.
He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes or epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He's wearing what women and men who are fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine are wearing.
He's wearing the urgency of the moment.
That's the point.
There’s an updated Carina Nebula photo from JWST that highlights areas of star formation! Here’s a video explaining what you’re looking at.

Zelensky was literally talking about how they would celebrate Christmas even under fire and without light or heat. Tucker will no doubt be widely praised on Russian TV tomorrow. https://twitter.com/swordsjew/status/1605746396409352197

It might seem that we already know everything about the history of places such as Auschwitz. However, this is not true.
We are constantly learning new facts.
In our "On Auschwitz" podcast Dr. Piotr Setkiewicz, who is the head of our Research Center, talks about new research on the history of Auschwitz.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
