Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Relevant History: The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 established the first comprehensive merit-based civil service system in the US.
It was intended to do away with "The Spoils System" whereby unqualified people got govt jobs for their political loyalty, a bad system we've returned to.

Congress must tell Trump and Vance to STEP DOWN from office on grounds of subverting the Constitution through DOGE and on GROUNDS OF TREASON.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

What pisses me off even more is that Trump, Vance, and Graham talk about a “business deal.” This is SO WRONG. Running a country and diplomacy is NOT a business deal.

Trump says he goofed and we actually do need money for ebola. EBOLA? I can think of at least 4,526 things we need money for that are all more urgent than ebola. I think he just picked a disease he’d heard of.

So today on campus I saw an info table about the Young Dem Socialists. I have lots of sympathy with them and their cause. BUT they had a kuffiya spread out with a book about Gaza. 1/2

Ebola is one of the LEAST things we have to worry about, you moron!
Elon Musk speaks at the Cabinet meeting:
“When we make mistakes, we'll fix it very quickly. For example…USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was Ebola prevention. I think we all want Ebola prevention, so we restored the Ebola prevention and there was no interruption.”

I need to leave 🧵 for good and make this my home. I’ve been inconsistent on Bluesky until now, but a swarm of extremely rude people attacked a post on 🧵. Suffice to say that it’s not like it was before.

Lost my heart horse, my Beau today. This photo is from about 2010, when he was 11. We did it all: hunter/jumpers, fox hunting, dressage. He is galloping free with our other horses and my beloved son.

Maybe this pretty video of Joey and I schooling our canter pirouette will make you smile. It’s imperfect, but that is what practice is for. Thanks to my trainer, David de Wispelaere, who rides Joey when I’m home and who is training me up the levels.

Important article on current French politics, Macron, the right, and Le Pen. Many parallels with the American right and the rightwing across Europe.
