Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

I’ll never forget seeing TFA with my mom and Kylo takes off his helmet. She turns to me and says “he looks like an evil ice skater.” I almost passed out from trying not to laugh too much.

Like today's GOP book bans, anti-history ed bills, EOs.

A IU Bloomington religious student group bravely challenged #McCarthyism w/ Green Feather campaign. 🧵

The “Bootstraps” idiom was originally meant to refer to the literally impossible. It was co-opted.
Idiom Origin

“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”

This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.

A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.

This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

Seven incisions sutured.
Monster trapped inside.

Intestines in containment

Licensed hair stylists receive more training than most law enforcement officers. Yet, when they make a mistake, you only get a bad haircut. When law enforcement officers make a mistake, someone gets shot.
