SHOUT-OUT to all proud members of the MAGA-Resistance Movement in their defense of the Kennedy Center. It will NEVER have the Orange Felon's name on it, just as it will continue to be the Gulf of MEXICO, Lake ONTARIO & the Department of DEFENSE. #AccountabilityIn45Days 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊

⚡️Canada in talks to join EU's Ukraine loan, but it still needs to donate to Kyiv, Brussels says. Even if Canada helps the EU with its loan to Ukraine, it still needs to follow Norway's lead and provide direct financial support to Ukraine, said European Commission spokesperson Balazs Ujvari.

Less than two weeks after proposing a land swap and private access to #Yosemite National Park, the Dept. of the Interior announced plans for similar land exchanges on Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is an #NationalPark, not a Monopoly board. A bunch of new mansions don’t belong here.

For years, my mornings have started with grabbing my phone while I'm still in bed and checking what Russia blew up while I slept, and whether all my loved ones are okay. ​I miss normal mornings a lot, when the main event was coffee, not destroyed apartment buildings.
