Optimistic today! I went to the post office to buy postcard stamps for my Swing State postcards, and the clerk said he’d have to check because lots of people were asking for postcard stamps for some reason. I suspect the resistance is larger than we imagine…. #resist #TrumpSucks

TODAY: New SNAP cuts are kicking in because of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." 5 million people have already lost food assistance, including 1.5 million+ kids since the bill was enacted. No kid deserves to go hungry so Trump can give his billionaire buddies another tax handout.

This could be triggering. Careful. If you able to, read this.
Roman Sheremeta EE ® @rshere.... 1d X She was lying there, raped, her neck broken, with a noose around her neck. Beside her hung her 3-year-old son.
When they took him down from the rope, he was blue and no longer breathing.
But then a miracle happened. And what this child said a year later will break your heart.
June 20, 2022. Kherson region, an occupied village. At two in the morning, the wife of a Ukrainian serviceman managed to message her husband that someone was breaking down the door to their home.
His sister arrived an hour later. The gate was locked, so she climbed over the fence.
The door had been ripped from its frame, and a window was smashed. Nothing had been stolen.
They had not come to rob them. They had come to kill.
In the room, her sister-in-law was lying on the couch, undressed and brutally beaten. Her head was twisted unnaturally, her neck was broken, and there was a noose around her neck. She was
28.
Beside her hung her three-year-old son. He had also been beaten, with about a dozen cigarette burns on his face. The rope was pulled so tightly around his neck that the woman tore her fingernails bloody trying to untie it.The child was blue. His head was swollen from edema. He was no longer breathing.
The woman screamed at him: "Breathe! Live!
Because I won't be able to live with this — I'll lie down beside you and die too."
She performed CPR on him. She was afraid she would break his ribs — she didn't. And he began to breathe.
He had watched his mother being killed. And she had watched her child being tortured. The window had been broken — people nearby had heard what was happening, but no one admitted
Then came three weeks in occupied Kherson.
The woman waited for the burns and the rope mark around the child's neck to heal.
What had not healed, she covered with makeup so they would not be recognized and killed immediately.
At the hospital, they warned her: "If they try to detain you, run. Half the hospital is occupied by FSB officers."
To get the boy out, the woman forged documents directly on her phone using Photoshop. She was taking him out as if he were her own son. Thirty checkpoints lay ahead.
At one of them, a rifle was pressed against her temple. One Russian said, "Get rid of these Another replied, "No, I've had enough fort + The first said, "I'm fine with it."He was wearing a wedding ring. Perhaps a wife and children were waiting for him at home. And he was perfectly fine with killing a woman and a child sitting in a car.
Three days on the road. The woman pressed the pedals with one leg because the other had become paralyzed.
At a filtration checkpoint, a young officer asked whether anyone in the car had survived torture.
She said: "Yes."
Is anyone injured? — Yes.
Has anyone been tortured? — Yes.
When she pointed to the three-year-old child, the officer began to cry. He could not continue the conversation.
In Odesa, doctors diagnosed the boy with clinical death, asphyxia, cerebral edema, a damaged wrist joint, a jaw injury, and eight broken teeth.
He stopped speaking — his muscles had atrophied. His speech development was set back by a year.
They now live in Odesa. The boy speaks again, goes swimming, attends kindergarten, and works with a speech therapist.They now live in Odesa. The boy speaks again, goes swimming, attends kindergarten, and works with a speech therapist.
He knows that his mother is gone. A year after the tragedy, he went outside one evening, pointed his little finger toward the sky, and said:
"Moon, sky, Mommy."
The boy's father is a serviceman. When they arrived in Odesa, he met them deeply devastated. | He was able to stay with them for two weeks — as long as his command allowed.
"He could have left the military and become his son's guardian. But he didn't. Because he is a patriot. Because he continues to fight," she said.
And after the liberation of the left bank of the Kherson region, there will be many more.

Can't believe we have to say this in 2026, but for the love of cheese PLEASE 🥺 WASH 🫧 YOUR 🫵 HANDS 🤲 you should not have to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about this just. freaking. do it.
A screengrab of an official CDC post. In the background, a small person is cupping their hands under a stream of water while a larger person cups their hands around the smaller person's hands. The foreground text reads "Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about which actions they recommend you take: frequent handwashing, surface disinfecting, getting a vaccination, opening windows or using air filters, testing and treatment."

But like. Most of these things you should just... do??? why are you talking to your doctor about opening a window. Wash your hands goddammit. Clean your countertops. This is just basic stuff, folks.
