Dear American friends, I know for a fact that many of you were as horrified as I was over the shameless display BLOATUS put on in the Oval Office yesterday.
I decided this morning that rather than seethe about it, I'd do something meaningful with my anger.
Below is the URL of Ukraine's official fundraising page. Maybe you could chip in a small amount, and/or give this a boost to spread the word? Thanks, and remember, there's still many more of us than of them!

UNITED24 - The initiative of the President of Ukraine

UNITED24 was launched by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the main venue for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine. Funds will be transferred to the official accounts of the National Bank of Ukraine and allocated by assigned ministries to cover the most pressing needs

@Eetschrijver In 2022 I watched online as the Russian army approach Kiev cheering on Ukrainian fighters as they slowed and then stopped the advance. Governments can be slow to act even in a crisis that's why I decided to contribute money myself. Like the toot above says chip in or boost this message, Ukraine needs our support. https://u24.gov.ua/

@Eetschrijver I just chipped in again because as you have correctly understood now is a pivotal moment in this struggle. Trump really let democracy down yesterday.

@Gordarnit Didn't he? It would be so great if, as a direct result of his boorish behavior, lots of money flooded in!
Show threadGordarnitMar 1
@Eetschrijver Money flowing in would be great. It's like casting a vote for democracy. What I like about https://u24.gov.ua/ is that you can direct your donation to defence or to medical aid or 3 other subheadings. There are choices.

"Queridos amigos estadounidenses, sé a ciencia cierta que muchos de ustedes se quedaron tan horrorizados como yo por la exhibición desvergonzada que BLOATUS realizó ayer en la Oficina Oval.
Esta mañana decidí que, en lugar de enfurecerme por ello, haría algo significativo con mi ira.
A continuación se muestra la URL de la página oficial de recaudación de fondos de Ucrania. ¿Quizás podrías contribuir con una pequeña cantidad y/o dar un impulso a esto para difundir la noticia? Gracias, y recuerda, ¡todavía somos muchos más que ellos!

I wish I had more to give, and the opportunity to add my voice to the thousands of others saying we support Ukraine, despise trump, musk, and all the others and everything they stand for. While they continue to literally fight in Ukraine, we will fight here to rid the country of the hateful, narcissistic, traitors in the Whitehouse and congress - I'm old enough to remember marching in the streets against the Vietnam War - I'm more than ready to march again for both of our freedoms

And I wish you well. I just so wish this battle didn't feel like eternal recurrence and humanity could learn the lessons permanently.

@rulesbyrosita BLOATUS meaning a horrendously bloated ego that somehow appealed to enough people to get elected to the highest office.

@Eetschrijver "BLOATUS", is it? Because all fat people are disgusting, right?

Fuck you, bigot.
