Putin went on a culture site raid last night. Ukrainian Foreign minister Andrii Sybiha writes:

"Russians severely damaged the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra; bombed the historic Oleksandr Dovzhenko Film Studios, destroying Ukraine’s largest and oldest costumes collection; struck the Kharkiv Art Museum and the Dnipro House Of Organ And Chamber Music.

Russia has no justification for ruining lives, targeting residential areas, and destroying Ukrainian culture. It must be held accountable for its crimes."

"According to the Trustees’ report, the actuarial balance of OASDI up through 2050 — the amount of additional funds it would need to keep paying full benefits for the next 25 years — is 1.06 percent of GDP. To put that number in perspective, the Trump administration proposes increasing military spending next year by $420 billion, equivalent to about 1.4 percent of GDP – without any discussion of whether that’s affordable"

America can afford to keep paying full benefits. But will we?

If you live in a GOP district, it’s extra important for your representative to hear from you right now. Call and demand they vote NO on the reconciliation bill: https://indivisible.org/actions/house-stop-bankrolling-ice/?source=mastodon
Tell Your Republican Representative to Stop Bankrolling ICE Brutality | Indivisible

Republicans are trying to ram through billions more taxpayer dollars for ICE to terrorize our communities, on top of the slush funds they got from the Big Ugly Bill last year. Tell them to vote no and fund communities, not chaos!

ICE Reports 19th Death of 2026: Georgian National Mamuka Artmeladze dies at Winn. Mamuka was not a public safety threat, may not have broken a single law, couldn't be deported, and shouldn't have been arrested. ICE forced taxpayers to pay $18,000 detaining him anyway.

It looks like Mike Johnson still doesn’t have the votes to pass the MAGA spending bill that would shovel $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol. We need to turn up the heat on House Republicans.

Randy Villegas is endorsed by Senator Sanders, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Frost, his local Indivisible group, and dozens of elected officials and labor leaders from across the Central Valley.

Randy is running against the only California Democrat who voted against unmasking ICE.

If you have the Facebook app on your phone, Mark Zuckerberg would like to monitor your entire life by uploading every photo you take to a secret Facebook database and have AI identify every place you have been, every person you have met, every activity you have participated in, etc.

I do not know how Facebook lures people into turning this on, but I recommend everyone check their settings, and I have made these four pictures which show how you turn it off.

Please reply if yours was on.
