Some of our signs from today’s protest in solidarity with Ukraine. Everything is interconnected.
🇺🇦 ♥️ 🇵🇸
#AlaskaSky #Juneau #Ukraine #JuneauForPalestine
A photo of a sleeping golden brown sled dog/husky on the ground surrounded by handmade protest signs. The signs left to right: (my sign) a Palestinian flag next to a Ukrainian flag with a heart between them. Under it says ‘Solidarity’. Next, a sign that says ‘no more stolen, starved, murderer, children. In alternating colors of the Ukrainian and the Palestinian flags. Next, a sign that says ‘ceasefire now’ with a Palestinian flag behind it. Above is a sign that says: children should be laughing, learning, growing. Not starving, orphaned, martyred.

I live in a magical place. 🌈

A photo of a full and perfect rainbow, with a second partial rainbow above it. The rainbow is over Gastineau Channel, which is a pretty blue/teal color. Across the channel you can see some of the mountains in Juneau. To the left is a big tree, not sure the type but it looks like a Christmas tree. The sky has fluffy white clouds with some bright blue breaking through. Taken on Douglas island in Juneau Alaska.

one nice thing !!!
Portrait of Birdie, a black and white tuxedo cat wearing a pink collar with a bell. She is a polydactyl cat with extra toes on her paws that she’s stretching out. She is lying in her window bed looking directly into the camera with a curious expression.

This whole thing is horrible but this part stuck out to me:
"Chronic disease has widespread effects, including on our *military* and our economy. 77% of young adults do not qualify for military service without a waiver..."

Make America healthy again so you can fight & die in pointless wars!!!
Excerpt from the White House Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Establishes the Make America Healthy Again Commission: "Chronic disease has widespread effects, including on our military and our economy. - 77% of young adults do not qualify for military service without a waiver, primary due to being overweight, drug use, or mental and physical issues. - 90% of America's $4.5 trillion healthcare expenditure is directed at managing chronic and mental health conditions. - The United States spends almost twice per capita what other wealthy countries spend on healthcare."
