'russia can't occupy our hearts,' Zelensky says in Christmas address ⁠

"... We ask for peace for Ukraine.

We fight for it.

And we pray for it.

And we deserve it.

That every Ukrainian family may live in harmony."

Christmas Greeting by the President of Ukraine — Official website of the President of Ukraine
We mark Christmas in a difficult time. Sadly, not all of us are at home this evening. Sadly, not everyone still has a home. And sadly, not everyone is with us tonight. But despite all the suffering that Russia has brought, it is not capable of occupying or bombing what matters most. That is our Ukrainian heart, our faith in one another, and our unity.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

This was a really great conversation. I learned a lot about how antitrust policies have changed since Reagan and the impact of monopolies on prices and opportunities for small business. Accessible and informative discussion.
And if you've never watched Lina Khan, I'd encourage you to check out @hcrichardson.bsky.social's interview with her last week. She's refreshing, whip-smart, and everything we need more of as a party: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydxk...

Not on his "opposition" on his "constituents". He's supposed to be President of all Americans. The ones who like him and the ones who don't.
