Yes! And it can't come soon enough!

Did the early voting thing in my state's primary today. Chose the progressive candidate when that was an option. No, I don't think we're gonna solve this mess solely through voting but given that I'm the kind of person they want to disenfranchise, it felt a nice piece of spite to vote while I can.

Good! Do it! And we can then rebuild it with integrity, ethics, compassion, and following the law and the Constitution.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

YouTube video by The John Johnston Lounge Why It’s Time To Ditch Elon Musk’s Companies

JJ breaks down how the boycott of Tesla products, that started about a year ago, seems to be having an impact, with Tesla car sales continuing to go down. The question is: could it also happen with products and services from other Elon-led companies and brands as well?

Greetings from Kyiv.
I paid a visit to the mighty Dnipro.
The ice is melting slowly.
Fishermen are still there, among the last patches of white.

Windy today.

This is just thing that should be released with names.

FBI will not provide the BCA access to evidence gathered from Pretti shooting, BCA says Minnesota criminal investigators have again been denied access to evidence and other materials collected by federal authorities after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, state officials said Monday.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for standing up for himself and against tyranny.

I've always been a fan of his — going way back to the Colbert Report years.

I enjoyed chatting with him in August. Here's a brief clip from our discussion.

What???

Greetings from Kyiv.

My morning warcoffee is from a nearby café today.
As usual, no power at home, and I forgot 🙈 to buy coffee beans.

You can see our “tropical” weather.
-10 °C outside.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Watched Colbert’s interview with Talarico. Worth your time. Up to 1.5 million views on YouTube.

Zelenskyy: ‘Rescue and repair work is ongoing in many of our regions after a massive Russian attack. The strike was a coordinated one, specifically designed to cause as much damage as possible to our energy infrastructure. Nearly 400 drones and 29 missiles of various types,

Today the Minnesota House gaveled into session for the first time since we lost Speaker Hortman, Mark, and Gilbert.

In the spirit of Melissa, we commit to doing our work with humility, grace, and compassion.

Looking for Ukraine supporters
The Wild Hornets have a raffle to fund a mobile R&D station to support developing drones, including STINGs, Ukraine's top anti-Shahed interceptor. Raffle prizes include a ball signed by 16 members of Ukraine's National Soccer Team. Tickets are $10. I’m buying one

For ages
I haven’t shared Ukrainian art just to brighten your busy feed.

Greetings from Kyiv.

Ukraine survived another russian attack.
Energy facilities in Western Ukraine were targeted. Dnipro and Odesa were also under attack.

I had a warcoffee. Will write about another night here – for someone in the future.
They can read it one day and understand the price of peace.

Beautiful

Greetings from Kyiv.

Here we are again –
a Snow Kingdom.

May your new week be kind to you.
