Trump again accused Zelenskyy of starting Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Did Zelenskyy use a stick to drive Putin and the Russians to destroy his country? Or, from yesterday onwards, does war start not with an invasion but with resistance to the invaders?

In my pursuit of trying out different local trails beyond my favorites, I hiked a trail today that went around this picturesque lake. A few weeks ago, I hiked a long, straight trail from a distant trailhead to/from this lake. Looking to combine the two into a substantial "lollipop" loop in the future. This area has so many nice trails! #hiking #nature

Trump called Russia's bombing of the peaceful city of Sumy in Ukraine a mistake but not a crime. Is there another shame Trump has not brought upon the US?

...that all started with the Big Bang

A door closed, but something stayed. Memories, echoes, and an episode still unwatched.

The world is turning green with abundance. Love to see it!

Trump first destroyed the government agency that monitored sanctions, then expanded sanctions against Russia. Trump first destroyed the organisations that counter Russian espionage and propaganda, then talked about peace. Trump supports Putin. Putin is China's weapon.

As expected, Trump has made exceptions in his tariffs for some firms. Coupled with the legalisation of corruption when it is done in other countries, the US is rapidly becoming Russia or Somalia. China won again. And China brings the plague of communism to many other countries.

AI is dramatically reducing the number of jobs. Governments scream about the need to increase the birth rate; many try to ban abortions.
If a woman cannot control her body, she is a slave.
Slaves only come from slave women. A free woman is a guarantee of freedom for all people.

Trump and his team cannot help support Putin in his war and other crimes, because they want to do the same. And the Americans will pay for this with their poverty. Trump has already destroyed the system of democratic control over the president. But Americans want to be slaves.
