This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

I can't speak for anyone else,

But a thing that I am finding is really helping me to get through all this nonsense

is helping others.

It can be something small- sharing a job ad with a fired colleague, looking over a resume- or something larger.

But helping others helps me.

*I asked this on LinkedIn too…*

What in the world are we doing right now?

Serious question. Where are we in this heavily loaded moment, as communicators, as a profession?

I was about to fire off a few thoughts but I remembered there’s a whole community of experts right at my fingertips.

While there are a dizzying array of things to call your Congress person about, this one is BIG. The SAVE Act (H.R.8281) is a voter disenfranchisement bill that would impact millions of Americans and effectively end voting from abroad, due to the new voter registration requirements it would impose

🤬 Email Senators to keep Congress relevant / vote against insanity
TODAY: The Senate is scheduled to vote on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director. This MAGA extremist has salivated about prosecuting journalists, government officials, & ordinary Americans.

Call your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

A proposal:

Academic researchers and folks in similar positions, consider writing an op-Ed, or at least a letter to the editor, in your local paper about what these horrific decisions will do to jobs and services *in your local community*.

I train scientists to write op-Ed’s and I can help.
for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!

EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession
