What a blatant attack on democracy in Tennessee today. The vote to expel @brotherjones_ is political retaliation and a reflection of a severe moral crisis in our state and national governments. @Tennessean

@benjaminwittes Glad to see you here. Bring your buddies and share some podcasts. And maybe share some good mischief here like, oh, a meaningful projection light show on some evildoers.
@eloquence Strategically I see some points for keeping my account and some for leaving. I chose to leave completely, because I won't support Musk's agena, whether I'm one small account or not.

The way to protect global #democracy right now is with weapons and support for #Ukraine’s battle against #Russia, not talks.

Global security leaders, activists say it’s time to fight, not talk, in Ukraine

As the war grinds on, there was no appetite at the gathering to ask Ukraine to make any concessions.

More bad news for Russia. The WTI crude oil price peaked at $129 right after the invasion of Ukraine. But now the cost is $80.
Subtract from that the 30 percent discount Russia is reportedly forced to offer India in order to sell any oil at all, and you are looking at half the income for Putin.
With a war this expensive, we could soon be looking at a total economic collapse in Moscow.
Come spring, and the light shall return! 🇺🇦

There's something about having zero followers and making my first post here on Mastodon that's refreshing, like chewing a mint leaf and watching the sun rise kind of refreshing. Cue coffee commercial music.
