@philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social Simply stated, please do not visit the Trump White House on April 28th. Don't normalize this madness. You KNOW it's not right. You KNOW it isn't. Visiting the White House now also diminishes your amazing season in the eyes of the majority of us Philadelphians.

I sincerely hope the EU nations and Canada are secretly prepping to send troops into Ukraine to drive the Russians out. Enough is enough. Canada, Ukraine, EU, STOP BEGGING the Trump administration for anything. Please. Stop begging. Stand tall and fight.
