Ukraine as a sovereign nation can make alliances as it pleases. Russia has attacked Ukraine to strip it of its sovereignty. Russia is now trying to get the US to do something to Ukraine it cannot do itself.

Donate to Ukraine’s defenders The National Bank of Ukraine has decided to open a special fundraising account to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/

Slava Ukraini.

All we need for peace in Ukraine is for Russian soldiers to return to Russia.

I'm honestly surprised it is there/hasn't been taken down, but there is a very cool HBCU display for Black History Month at Dallas Love Field airport right now. So many neat old memorabilia and photos. It is outside security so anyone can visit it.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

Spending my holiday Monday phone banking for a Liberal candidate (whose riding I don't live in) who has a chance to beat the PC incumbent. While I live in an NDP riding & will vote for the NDP incumbent.

This is how it goes when you're desperate to get rid of Doug Ford - who LOVES Trump btw.
