Thank you for understanding and telling the tale in your own fashion, it’s hard for some of us to continue to remember this is actually happening. So now half (I hope)of the US will now be spiritually fighting along side of you, different front, same war. No one is trying to blow us off the map- yet- but we now have such an uncertain future I wouldn’t rule it out. Especially when that new old guy starts really getting played by his despot buddies. Like, you know.

It is such a painful irony that, today, the anniversary of the violent attack on the Capitol, Kamala Harris stood to gavel in the electoral college votes confirming the win by her opponent, the very man who sought to destroy the process. What is most important here is HER grace, not his venality. What is most important is Ukraine’s grace, not Putin’s venality. You are a beacon of truth and hope. Slava Ukraini!

I had never thought of how the coup’s success would have affected Ukraine’s fight later. It is chilling to think of how small acts by a few people, or even one person, can change history. Mike Pence saved Ukraine by confirming Joe Biden. Zelenskyy wanted ammunition, not a ride. At Mariupol, the fighters showed how hard Ukraine could fight. Other countries were willing to help Ukraine because of those fighters. Ukraine is still here. ❤️💙💛

I still cannot believe what happened today, the confirmation of Mr Trump's second term. The damage he will do to these United States, to democracy, to the rule of law is yet to be calculated and written in history books. History will *not* look favorably on Mr Trump. (He will never be my president. He may be the president for 4 years, but he will not be mine, hence Mr) Not until sanity, compassion, experience, and an understanding of reality is voted back into the White House will I breathe a sigh of relief. I wish Mr Trump nothing but bad luck for the next 4 years in every evil thing he attempts to foist on our country. Democrats, independents, and the moderate Republicans that used to be the majority in the Republican Party must fight against Trump, Musk, Ramaswamy, Bannon, and Steven Miller above all, with all their might and political power.

It’s starting to look like Canada has our own Putin living south of us.
