An image of mine to go with a few lines from my #poem in this #US #Resistance book. "Where wild forget-me-nots bloomed yesterday, last night a thug pulled them up. He didn’t know. They’ve already seeded." #ICE #Survival #Trump Link to full text thechaossectionpoetryproject.com/2026/02/18/s...

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

🤨 Trump: "We didn't start the war with Iran. Iran started the war with us."

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

This is a mammoth task. I work in a cancer hospital and almost all doctors and nurses have stopped wearing masks. The message around COVID is mild cold, handwashing is enough..

It takes longer to get hurt by smoking or diabetes or hyperlipidemia or hypertension or obesity for plaque to progress compared to multiple mild Covid infection- and it is microvascular!

Lula leads Brazil runoff election with 51.76% of the votes after 99.84% of the votes counted

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Don't give in. Instead, get out the vote. ⬇️ www.inequalitymediacivicaction.org/gotv

⚡️ President Zelenskyy proposed three alternatives to US partners to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries: an energy truce, Starlink access over Russian ballistic launch sites, or additional Patriot missiles. The US rejected all three, prompting a sharp reaction from Kyiv.

The US administration is complicit in Russia’s war crimes, and Trump is either a Russian asset or a Russian agent - take your pick.

The most important thing about this number is that it indicates the state of surveillance and reporting… which indirectly indicates our state of preparedness for the next pandemic.

Nice piece on redemption after making a life changing mistake. Could happen to any of us www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump claimed he heard Obama's event in Michigan today was empty. Meanwhile, the venue was packed, lines stretched outside, and Obama even addressed an overflow room because everyone couldn't fit inside. Mercado Media

U.S. citizen Ricardo Gonzalez was brutally detained by ICE in Long Beach while he yelled for help and said his arm was broken. This is a pattern of abuse and violence from ICE. No one is safe and our communities are being terrorized. We need ICE out.

Obama: "This election is our last best chance to at least rein in some of the foolishness of this administration"

Iran has made no new offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the U.S. naval blockade, citing an informed source. The source says Tehran is sticking to its seven conditions and will not reopen the strait until its demands are met.-Tasnim

there is no other current or former politician in the US who gets this sort of response

Hey friends! 🫂💙💛 Just a little reminder that I have my own merch shop! 🇺🇦 You can find T-shirts, mugs, tote bags, and other things with my designs inspired by Ukraine. Maybe something will catch your eye! ❤️ angelica-shalagina-shop.fourthwall.com/en-eur/colle...

Really?

Ukraine says satellite access still restricted despite Trump saying otherwise www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/1...

Elon should be in jail over this - he is committing treason against Ukraine and the US by backing Russia.

Not one American voted for Elon Musk.

Q: Have you spoken to Elon Musk about the Ukraine situation? TRUMP: I have, yeah Q: Can you tell us about that? TRUMP: No, I can't

🔥🔥BREAKING: Ukraine’s General Staff confirms strikes on the Tolyattikauchuk chemical plant in Samara and the Proton plant in Oryol, russia. A russian military aircraft was also reportedly hit in Yeysk💥

I am beginning to think that “superpower suicide” understates the case.

but after everything that's been done, how can a bloody dictator who did all that to someone be called a "humanitarian" just for releasing them? This is simply humiliating for America. He must be charged arrested prosecuted and executed not kissed in the butt!

their life, posing no threat, and breaking no laws. They captured him there during an illegal invasion, kept him in awful conditions, and brutally tortured him for four years. They released him now, which is good, I'm happy for him and his loved ones,

Let's just make this clear: Witkoff calls the bloodiest dictator, indicted war criminal, and child murderer, Putin, a "humanitarian" not for some massive concession, not for agreeing to stop the war, but for releasing a person they captured in a foreign country where that person was simply living

And it was actually a prisoner exchange in which we gave them an actual Russian criminal and we also gave them diplomatic cover in a war of aggression — not only morally shameful and personally humiliating but as a negotiation absolutely laughably unequal.

Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now? I think it's three things. #HighStakes

So next year, my Marketplace health insurance (for just me) is going up 135%. From $242 per month in ‘26 (more than double what it was in ‘25) to $570 in ‘27. Pretty upset about it but know I’m not alone.

I've not got many flowers left in the garden, but my lavender is still putting in a small show!
