2:43 am in Kyiv.
The awful attack continues.
I don’t want to repeat the same words.
I’ll write to you in the morning –
I hope it comes.

It’s very loud in Kyiv.
Explosions.
Missiles and drones.

I don’t know what else to say.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I've been trying to figure out why I hesitate to share home-cooking ideas. I'm old enough to remember when #ChickenWings used to be a 'secret' source of protein for people living in poverty. Until some rich fool decided they were a perfect sportsball food & now they cost more per lb than other cuts.

Weeks ago, South Korea mocked Trump with a replica of the golden Cheonmachong crown, claiming it symbolized “peace.” In reality, the crown came from the Silla Kingdom, whose king was assassinated after a civil war and kingdom destroyed by corruption & rule for the wealthy.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Yet another reminder that if 47 were acting alone he'd just be a rambling ineffectual bully. Without his #Enablers none of this would be happening. He would just be some horrible old white man mumbling his BS in a corner. It's a #CHOICE people; they are even more culpable being cruel on purpose.

Your weather for today:
- possible showers
- possible sunbreaks
- everything is possible in an infinite multiverse
- there's another you out there who is piloting a solar space blimp through the cosmos, smuggling bootleg gin & forbidden books
- wear layers

There are a few problems with Senile Satan’s post. The biggest is that he’s deploying troops to the Miracle Mile shopping center in Chicago. There’s no such thing. There’s one in LA and one in NY.

Today had its moments where anger and cynicism almost overwhelmed me. In sweet retaliation I am making The Best Potato Soup Ever and sharing it with a Bestie. #LoveWins today.

I think a lot about the tasks I set for myself.
All of them have one simple goal:
to help you discover a country that was hidden behind russia’s bars –
and maybe even make you fall a little in love with it.

Yes, there’s a war in Ukraine.
But Ukraine is more than the war.

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry
