I’m an aging leftist who 💯 backs Ukraine. For the same reasons I protested the invasion of Iraq when I was a young leftist in Chicago!
The U.S. gave Ukraine our obsolete military equipment and then paid domestic contractors the value of replacing it with new equipment to keep. We did not give Ukraine $100 billion in taxpayer money. So far the value of what we’ve paid U.S. defense contractors is $48 billion.
Josh Hawley repeating Russian propaganda—he’s also the sole senator to vote against Finland & Swedens’ admission to NATO, and votes in favor of removing Russian sanctions. Let’s make sure he is unemployed soon.

This one is for my six year old daughter even though she’s not on Twitter. She drew a picture of a fancy lady fella at the beach with her baby fella in the stroller
It is entirely unsurprising that CODEPINK would host a Peace in Ukraine talk with 2 former employees of Kremlin-funded outlets.
Lee Camp had a show on RT & Eugene Puryear hosted a show on Radio Sputnik.
CODEPINK's concern for Ukraine is as unserious as the organization itself.
I had taken a break from all social media, except Yelp, from 2017 until Russia invaded Ukraine exactly two years ago. I’ll never forget those scenes. Especially when a little girl the age of my daughter died when a Russian cruise missile hit a supermarket in Mauripol.
I’ve been watching reactions from Europe to the slow progress in the divided U.S. government on additional funding to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, & Gaza. There are many overreactions—albeit very reasonable ones—to each step of this process. Hopefully I can help with this thread. 🧵
There are American leftists who publish easily disproven Russian propaganda-Glenn Greenwald, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Taibbi, Jill Stein, etc.—but this Tweet by Michael Tracey is on another level. Revising Holocaust history to serve the interests of Russian Propaganda is despicable.
There is wide consensus that the "Final Solution" phase of the Holocaust was operationally initiated in Dec. 1941, after the US entered the war. Jews had not been treated "nice" for some time, but it was only after US entry that they were subject to industrial-scale extermination
Without a doubt, this is the best and most difficult design of a

might be able to create a similar work of art while you support ending the Russian genocide in Ukraine. Donate.
I've met some special people as part of NAFO. One of these people has taken hours of his life to help me with problems unrelated to NAFO.
He recently asked me to do a Balloon Fella. So I went hard.

. Thank you being a brilliant human.
Hope you like.
Reports of Israel using white phosphorus on the civilian population of Gaza last night.
Banned under int'l law, white phosphorus burns anything it touches, including human skin.
Putin sent his double to Mauripol, the town he destroyed, but Zelensky went to Bahkmut during the height of Russia’s offensive, the town he is trying to save. Speaks volumes about these people and these nations.
After church tomorrow, I’m taking my two older kids camping in the Ozarks. I really can’t wait to be cooking over a fire & under the stairs while teaching them to love the outdoors.
I had a really nice daily driver, but it was totaled because a stop sign was missing at an intersection here in STL and a driver hit my rear quarter. So for the first time since 2011, we don’t have a BMW in our fleet. I’ve long wanted a wagon. New camping rig 🏕️
