Thank you, dear Dee. I have no doubt that America will always be the land of freedom, because there will always be people like you who resist despite the horrible circumstances in the White House. πŸ’™πŸ’›

Trump is a traitor and cares only for money. Europe should turn its back on this man and everything he stands for. We need to stop talking and put our boots on the ground to monitor this so called cease fire. We cannot let the traitor and the dictator decide the future of Ukraine.

So long as Ukraine doesn’t sign what T and P agree to, they are not bound by it. No matter what comes out of T’s mouth!

It is clear:

Trump is Putin's ally.

Ukraine is America's.

I want to say thank you, but oh how can we thank you enough for fighting for a better world for us all?

Dear Richard, this is the fight of our times, and we will fight with the kind of commitment we only reach when we know we have absolutely no choice but to fight. And we will win. We are fighting against an international mafia, simple as that. And no mafia prevails for long. Thank you for standing with Ukraine and with me. πŸ’™πŸ’›

I understand your hesitation with the heart so much. I admit I think about that a lot too, but I will firmly press the heart on your comment to show that love will always find its way and to ensure love prevails in these horrible times we are living in. THANK YOU SO MUCH πŸŒ»πŸ’™πŸ’›

Also, I've been a supporter via United24 for 3 years now, and will not be stopping. I have a front door wreath with blue and yellow flowers and a white peace dove, and a garden flag that is blue and yellow with sunflowers and a peace dove. I also had an "I support Ukraine" yard sign. I came home one day and found that someone had pulled the sign out of the ground, tore the sign in half, and threw it in the street. My response to that was, ok, but YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM PRAYING AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM DONATING THRU UNITED24. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

I am devastated and ashamed to be an American. In tears. No words. I don’t know how to be in a country that is doing this to other countries. I will keep resisting from within. I STAND WITH UKRAINE πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ’”!!

Dear Brandi, you didn't vote for that man, and you didn’t choose this government. Even when these feelings are impossible to avoid, never take them personally. In some way, Ukraine is here to show the world that at least half of your country stands firmly by the virtuous values of our civilization. Trump will soon be in the trashcan of history, but Americans like you, who stand against all this shame, will always be remembered. Never forget that you are great, and never forget the greatness of your nation’s history. πŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Viktor, I’m not sure how to respond to youβ€”a man in a country at warβ€”who have found it in your heart to comfort meβ€”a person living in a country that is in collusion with your oppressor. You embody the values of Ukraine: your courage, resilience, heart, and ability to see and stand for the light in the darkness is unrelenting. Since I’ve found you on Substack, I’ve carried you in my heart. I’ve shared your words with my kids. Never in my life did I think my country’s leaders could do such unimaginable harm. I will continue to call my elected officials, sign petitions, not do business with companies that support Trump or his policies, and yes, take to the streets, until this madness is over. UKRAINE will go down in history as STANDING AT THE TIP OF THE SPEAR FOR DEMOCRACY, beating all odds, and yes, one day, being VICTORIOUS! This is NOT OVER! I stand with you and I STAND WITH UKRAINE πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦β€οΈπŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ’ͺ🏻!!

Viktor, I’m not sure what telegram is (is this an online platform)? I did just subscribe to your private chat group❀️.

I saw your post this morning (US time) and am heartbroken but not at all surprised that Russia attacked Ukraine during what is supposed to be a ceasefire. Trump has no idea who he is dealing with regarding Putin. It’s important that Trump experiences the reality that Putin listens to no one. I only wish that it wasn’t at the expense of the Ukrainian people.

The world is so upside down and crazy that I’m not always sure how to be or how to respond appropriately and effectively. Sometimes my response may be long or sometimes short. Sometimes it’ll take the form of attending a town hall meeting with my elected officials or attending a protest. Sometimes my response will look like silence in action or word as I go inside of myself to find my ground in God or the source of life, or whatever other name people have for that which is bigger than ourselves and connects us to everything. Whatever form it takes, know that I am responding with authenticity the best way I know how and that I carry you and Ukraine with meβ€οΈπŸ™πŸ»πŸ’™πŸ’›.

There has been little doubt in my mind that this is economic; Putin will also turn on Trump and the American people, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow; but, he will. This is all about land for grains, and land for minerals and yes, extinguishing the Ukranian people so that they can resist no more. This is not negotiating, it is deal-making.

Trump is so horrid and I think he thinks he will deserve a Noble Peace Prize. What he really deserves along with Putin is---- can't write it here.

If only the American people and elected leaders could find even half of the bravery and commitment of the Ukrainian people - we wouldn’t be in this situation right now. Stay strong Ukraine

Trump and Putin of one mind

They just want to take over everything that's not theirs.

I am ashamed to call myself and American. I became an American 51 years ago when I took an oath to become American (citizenship). I can't believe what I am seeing and hearing everyday. This is just disgusting.

I am so sorry this is happening to Ukraine. It is truly beyond belief that a dictator rules America and makes deals with another dictator at the expense of millions of innocent people. My prayers and love are always with you. πŸ™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

This is devastating, disgusting and depraved. It brings me to tears. Trump is evil. I am so very sorryβ€” I know saying that does nothing to help. There are times I desperately wished I had a magic wand.
