My usual warcoffee
after a regular workout.
A routine we can take for granted or cherish deeply.

There’s always something to complain about.
But also there’s always something (even small) to be grateful for.

Greetings from Kyiv!

I’ve slept for a long while before my body decided
- You can back to life.
And now, after the cup of home warcoffee,
looking in the eyes of Monday,
I finally can tell you
- Hi. How have you been?

Kyiv is gently wrapped in wind and sweaters.

Ukraine Flag 🇺🇦 Fly the blue and yellow with pride. Our Ukraine flags are made with durable materials, bright colors, and a commitment to causes that matter.

Oops

This Doge cuts have hit the VA-this is fcked up!!!

I'm not reading that it is being called terrorism though. Or that is only when a wealthy CEO is killed? Or it isn't as important since the shooter was killed, and the employee was CDC and so the trump regime doesn't care?

Not physically or mentally fit enough

The fascist leader without DUE PROCESS will round up homeless people in DC
arrest & jail those he "deems criminal"

Washington DC's MAYOR Bowser will not be able to stop trump from bringing in Natl Guard
FASCISM

Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol.

Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard.

Make it make sense.

ICE Begs Supreme Court for Right to Racially Profile Immigrants The Department of Homeland Security is asking the Supreme Court to allow it to question anyone who speaks Spanish “to support reasonable suspicion that the person is here illegally.”

Will the Supreme Court support blatant racial profiling?

The lower courts will try to stop it!

Is this being called terrorism, or terrorism is only when wealthy CEOs are killed?

The silence is deafening in LA thousands in the streets, highways shut down, most of the country doesn't even know it's happening. When the powerful control the narrative, resistance becomes invisible. That's not journalism that's propaganda by omission.

Trump: "The crime numbers [in D.C.] get worse."
Official statistics: Violent crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low.
The Trump regime is inventing lies to justify military control over our cities. It's what dictators do.

The Trump admin is moving from denying climate change to rewriting it. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a longtime oil industry executive, announced plans to “update” past National Climate Assessments, the gold-standard, peer-reviewed reports that lay out the risks of the climate crisis in detail.

I wouldn't trust this meeting to be in Alaska though

The Kremlin is not ready to give up the territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions because the Russian Armed Forces hold an important land corridor to Crimea — according to a source from The Washington Post.

Trump lied and said he could end the Russian war of choice in Ukraine in 24 hours. His lie helped him get elected.

Now he's about to be with Putin on American soil. Arresting Putin for his war crimes would end the war in Ukraine.

Will he try to honor his promise? Of course not.

Ukraine's future is decided and will be decided here, in #Ukraine, not in Alaska.

Our lives and our fates are in our hands.

The Girl Guides Of Canada 🇨🇦 are banning all trips to the US effective Sept. 1st! There’s too big a risk every girl in a troop will not be allowed through the border without harassment or outright denial. It’s just too dangerous!

German Chancellor Merz:

Ukrainian and European leaders cannot accept the discussion or even deciding on territorial issues between Russia and the United States. I assume the American government sees it the same way.
