That DeSantis himself was a history major makes the steps he's taking to sterilize Florida's history curriculum even more sinister. He knows the truth about the harrowing history of slavery in America, but he thinks it's okay to deprive Florida's students of that same education.

"Winter is coming" was a truly eye-opening book for me. Gari doesn't speculate on what Putin may think, he looks at what his actions are. And it's a prescient (published in 2015, aged not one single day) of the kremlin strategy.

All the "one year" retrospectives are fine, but please remember two things. 1) Putin invaded Ukraine NINE years ago. He was allowed to occupy and destabilize Ukraine for 8 years until confident enough to launch all-out war. Compromise and deescalation did that.

Would replace "add" with "ad", but apparently I'd need to give Elon $8 for that.

Is it a glitch from firing all the staff? Is it an anti-competitive bid to reap all the add dollars? 50-50 from my view...

Wow, @MikeLeeforUtah votes AGAINST Ukraine aid… and has avoided being being sanctioned by Russia (for some reason). Why does Mike Lee not oppose this war? Utah stands for human rights unlike Mike Lee.

A IT expert with no military experience at all, who didn't even do his military service, shows the call-up papers he got today. He's being sent to the military hours later - to fight in Ukraine This is Russia's 'partial mobilisation', supposedly recruiting experienced soldiers..

Liz is the real deal. Not beholden to party, but searching for truth. I encourage those who know that trump was (and is) a complete crook to support everyone (Biden, Liz... all good ;) who rejects his insidious lies. Party is fine, USA is infinitely better...

I was called hysterical for saying this in 2014. Not anymore. Unfortunately, it took Russian tanks rolling into Ukraine, and still the same fools believe it won't spread if Putin isn't stopped. The lesson of appeasement is never learned.

Stop quoting the Kremlin. Who cares what Putin's bloodthirsty regime accuses anyone of at this point? The only person "stoking tensions" is the dictator launching missiles into Ukraine. As has been the case since 2014, Putin could end the war with one call. He won't.
