I started here to post faith, love, kindness, positivity

Now I fight for freedom with dark humor and witty truths

✝️follower, 🚫nationalist, 🎶🎹, 📚, teacher, INFJ, ex-republican, never-Trump, I volunteer for Ukraine 💙💛🇺🇦, my only prejudice is idiots & jerks
President Zelenskyy was presenting awards to children who have volunteered in different ways to help Ukraine when an air raid began. This is him just casually hanging out with them in the basement eating pizza and chatting until the raid ends

Washington has this problem right now of one hand giving while the other takes away. Then coming back and saying “hey, mistakes 🤷‍♂️” as if that is a valid excuse.

But the speed, mistakes, and lack of communication come at the cost of lives.

Trump may think Putin is his friend, but Russia does NOT view the US as friends.

And then Musk tells him “Be quiet small man”.

Moscow also banned Ukrainian language during the Soviet era. Putin hates the fact that a Ukrainian culture even exists.

I am going to cheat the rules and add that the audio version recorded by Snyder in 2022 is 💯% worth it for the extra content

Elon Musk at the inauguration, Steve Bannon & Mexican Actor Eduardo Verástegui at CPAC 2025.

Tell me again how these are accidental and don’t mean anything?

Obviously the loss of American values is a bigger threat to Europe than Russia sending explosive drones crashing into highly radioactive nuclear disaster sites. Though I know a few Europeans who would disagree.

“There will be some agreement…But, listen, you don’t have to recognize it.”

What?!?!?

Gonna be honest, I don’t want God to bless the people of Russia. I want God to open their eyes to how their government has treated them their whole lives & to light a fire in them to do something about it. And for those in power, may they reap what they’ve sown. God bless Ukraine & her heroes.
