The history of Kyiv, Ukraine's capitol, officially begins when it was founded in 482, but the city dates back more than 2,000 years. Archaeologists have dated the oldest known settlement in the area to 25,000 BC!

🇺🇦 Kyiv was a center of power and commerce, a state that flourished to grandeur unknown in the European world while Moscow remained an empty forest, where the darkness waited to rise.

💩moscow was founded in 1150, SIX-HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGTH YEARS after Kyiv 🇺🇦

With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, the Russian Federation became an independent country in 1991! KGB Putina does not know his pathetic history or is trying to hide it.

Tim Walz on the offensive in Iowa!

If the rest of us do enough now to still have mid terms, efforts like this will be important. Plus, Walz and local Dems are right to stoke red district anger. Only way we can save democracy.

Trump is boosting Russia economically helping it when Russia was losing on the economy side and ultimately the war. We in Europe must not accept this. USA is letting Russia live and attack in the future.

A conservative friend of mine has changed their mind on trans issues based on having a trans grandchild. Why does it take knowing someone of a group to miraculously then understand them? You could just love and understand them without having to know them personally. It’s easy.

Some Hospitals Canceled Care for Trans Youth Despite Judge Blocking Trump Order

LGBTQ advocates accuse medical institutions of “obeying in advance” after Trump issued the anti-trans executive order.

The two NASA astronauts who were unexpectedly stranded on the space station for the last nine months have been picked up and are on the way back.

I'm imagining a conversation during the journey back:

Astronauts: So, what's been going on these last nine months?

Rescue Crew: [...]

Astronauts: TURN THIS THING AROUND RIGHT NOW.

OMG

Yesterday, a #Republican state lawmaker in #Minnesota named #JustinEichorn introduced a new bill he coauthored to legally define "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a "mental illness" in the state.

Later in the day, he was arrested. For what, you ask?

There Is No Method to Trump's Madness. He's Simply Insane. | Ross Rosenfeld

We all recognize that old age can cause senility and fragility. And when a person is already inclined toward delusion, that trait can become more entrenched and grandiose over time.

Nazi Germany had a knack for making up all sorts of legal terms and processes to justify their menagerie of horrors.

People feel safe in process. Euphemism is comfortable. And it absolutely works. Because it’s not state-sanctioned murder, it’s “capital punishment”. It’s not torture, it’s “enhanced interrogation.” It’s not genocide, it’s “protecting national security interests”. And so on.

When a leader in the White House says empathy is a fundamental weakness, they mean all of us can fuckin die and they could not be bothered to give less of a shit
