Xi: Did you hear?
Kim: No...
Xi: The Americans are moving air defense systems out of South Korea!
Kim: What? No way!
Xi: Yes!
Kim: Amazing. How'd you do that?
Xi: I didn't do anything. They started a war with Iran, told themselves it'd be easy, and didn't do the math on interceptors.
Kim: Ha!

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
Watching video of Hillary Clinton at that worthless GOP deposition reminds me that even tho I'm a lefty and supposed to hate her, I don't. And I think she would've been an amazing president

Again, I will be strongly engaged in the primary process for the Democratic Party's nominee for President in 2028.
But I will support whoever wins, even if it's not my preferred candidate.
The stakes are too high to be selfish.

Tbh Iβm annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist.

I really don't want everyone to forget about Ukraine, given what's happening in the world. What's happening there has been going on for a short time, but in my country it's been going on for years and we live with it.
Keep talking about Ukraine πΊπ¦
Keep supporting Ukraine πΊπ¦
Greetings from Kyiv.
I will never tire of praising its beauty.

We made it.
