Trump isn’t asking Putin to stop killing Ukrainian children. He’s telling Zelenskyy to stop striking the oil infrastructure that funds Russia’s war and is putting real pressure on Moscow. Literally a sock puppet of the Kremlin

I'm so incredibly tired. Attacks, victim-blaming, attacks, victim-blaming, on and on and on. I want to scream into people's faces that it is not our fault that Russia is killing us, and that we need help. ​I once naively thought that if social media had existed during World War II,

Unfortunately the weather was so good that although 5 million birds flew over the county (est.) they decided to keep going south instead of hanging out with us this morning. But it was a record migration night and it's always good to know the birds are still winging south in numbers.

🔴 A false claim that @u24.gov.ua pays influencers $50,000 to support Ukraine originated on The Tucker Carlson Show. These allegations were made by Carlson’s guest—"Elizabeth Lane". However, investigations reveal she is a pro-Kremlin activist linked to an FSB officer.
