I’m supposed to be retired, but I just can’t resist wanting “to make a difference,” most recently by forming a community organization to support Ukraine: Nevada County (California) Friends of Ukraine. See also @friendsofukraine.bsky.social Slava Ukraini!

California has the chance to rein in out-of-control corporate power — but Big Tech is spending millions to stop the plan. Here’s what you need to know.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

Ukrainian mountaineer Iryna Halai summited Dhaulagiri (8,167 m) in Nepal. Marking the 10th anniversary of her 2016 Everest climb, it's her 2nd ascent since the start of Russian full-scale invasion. She dedicated the feat to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the 60,000 women serving in them. 📷uasporttv

Ukrainians greet defenders returning home after release from russian captivity. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Most of them were captured in 2022 and spent years in hell. I’m so happy they’re reuniting with their families this Easter!

We’re not there yet, but getting close! Wake up Congress! “Night after night, green and gray military vehicles cruise the streets. They knock on every door, asking whether any Jews live there. If so, the whole family is immediately taken away . . .

“It’s impossible to escape their clutches unless you go into hiding . . . In the evenings when it’s dark, I often see long lines of good, innocent people, accompanied by crying children . . . ordered about by a handful of men who bully and beat them until they nearly drop dead.

Not everyone can be in Minneapolis or Chicago or Portland to actively show support for your fellow humans, videoing and whistling. But you can show your solidarity by wearing a whistle around your neck wherever you go.

And, you will be instantly ready to whistle should an ICE mob suddenly descend on YOUR neighborhood. Let’s make this a national, even International, movement! Get yourself a whistle, give em to your friends & neighbors. Wear it to church, to work, to school, to the local bar to watch the Big Game!

I, BearKicker, call upon all freedom loving people of these United States to rise up and henceforth bear Whistles around their necks whilst engaged in any and all matters of Intercourse and Commerce with their fellow Human Beings, both here and abroad,

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left. And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv. The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

This regime is terrified of peaceful people power. I support those who are demonstrating courage right now, so I just became a first-time donor to help cover her legal fees. Recommend you do too.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

🕯️🕯️ Look at this beautiful 19-year-old girl. She had so many dreams, just like all of us. Yesterday, she hid in the bathroom with her mom from Russian terror — but they didn’t survive. They died together. Russia is a terrorist state.
