Ukraine is an ally fighting for its survival. To belittle and berate their leader in such a public spectacle is a gift to Putin and his murderous campaign against a free people.
The United States must always stand on the side of democracy, freedom, and security for America and its allies.

in retrospect maybe it was a mistake to tell young people that reading, the arts, the humanities weren’t important and that “learning to code” was sufficient for a good life.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

We're on week three of packing up and moving our Carnegie library for our big renovation. Movers are here this week, and they can't come soon enough. My hands are frozen in full Lego hand shape at this point.
