We don’t need Trump to support Presidential Zelensky and the Ukrainian people. You can choose to donate to Ukrainian defense, to medical and humanitarian aid, or to education and science.

Every time I come across DOGE, my brain auto-corrects it to “douche.” It’s like an auditory typo I can’t unhear.

Even if it is true (it isn’t) that Trump has enough supporters in Greenland to attend a lunch, why would a handful of people wearing MAGA hats in Greenland represent the majority? It’s almost as if the Trumps don’t respect how democracy works. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
