Since the invasion of Crimea to present day, an estimated 238,000 children have been abducted to Russia. Why? After state driven adoptions to Russian parents, 62% underwent "re-education" and 18% so far have been given military training. A steady stream of new soldiers, fighting their own people.

That sounds like a Leader vying for peace 🤦‍♂️ I swear people never learn. They are surprised Trump is doing bad shit despite copious amounts of evidence indicating otherwise. Putin has NEVER proported to do the right thing for peace, yet people are out there saying "He means it this time for sure"

This whole murdering Venezualan citizens at sea was all planned an very much premeditated. You know damn well nothing good is coming, when they fire all the leadership of the JAG (military lawyers). Normally the check and balance for a strike would be asking the JAG if it is a legal strike.

Hands off Venezuela Trump! People are being murdered at sea, and a land invasions would lead to countless innocent deaths, for what? Oil and a convinient distraction. Are drugs coming from this country, probably. You know what else is being smuggled, guns from the U.S., accounting for many deaths.

My parents put up their Christmas tree on Xmas Eve and take it down on Boxing Day, and I have to say I actually love this.

Rain 🌧️or Snow ☃️? That is the question..... I have lived most my life in areas that get snow in the winter. Now I live in an area that very rarely gets snow, but rains for 4 months. I hate shoveling snow, but I think I would rather snow than constant rain. 🌧️🌧️🌧️

Happy Thanksgiving to my U.S. neighbours to the south 🦃. For all the rest of us, happy Thursday, hang in there one more day left before the weekend.

I was watching a video from South Korea where a gentleman put a cheese slice 🧀 in his instant noodle cup🍜. I then wondered what that would taste like 🤔 All I can say is, thanks South Korea, I can never eat a plain noodle cup ever again 😂

Congrats to all the G19 nations, it was a great display for Trump of what the future looks like in the global economy without the U.S. if the administration chooses to continue on their current path.

Media needs to STOP calling Russia's, I mean the U.S.' plan, a "peace proposal". It is a Surrender Proposal. For two years Russia has commited war crimes against Ukraine, the country Russia invaded. They want to reward Russia for these attrocities? I'm sure that will dissuade them doing it again🤦‍♂️

This is patently false, if it is an illegal order it is just that illegal and soldiers are trained to explicitly not follow that kind of order. On the other side, it can be "punishable by death" in some instances to follow illegal orders, as the world saw in the Nuremberg Trials.

I think I was meant to live in a warmer climate, I am always cold. I am that person that wears a hoodie in the summer 😂

Missing my Border Collie today, who died years ago. Would love to get another dog, but worry about our cat, who has never lived with a dog before. Anyone have experience with this? I just fear if we got a dog, I would never see the cat again, and feel that would not be fair to the cat 🤔

Of course he does, after Pam Bondi was caught sneaking off with the damning files.

So, today I watched a disturbing interview as a Trump apologist asked the interviewer "What is wrong with sleeping with underaged girls anyway?" This broke my brain 🤯, as it is even lower than I even expected. We may be witnessing the De-evolution of a new sub-species, I truly worry about humanity 😢

Anyone else suffer from Christmas Exhaustion? The holiday consistently stretching longer and longer as time goes on, wears me down and really waters down the season for me. 3 months is just too long for any holiday. I find myself avoiding it at all costs in effort to not completely ruin it for me.

If the Democrats do not replace Schummer, then they are not serious about saving democracy and ending this tyranny. He has done nothing but help the very people who are destroying programs that help the most vulnerable people in society. He will have blood on his hands as much as the GOP.

Sending out love and support for all my LGBTQIA2S+friends out there. Why? Who needs an occasion or to wait for Pride month? You have my love and support all year long, you will always have a safe space with me. ❤️

Are there any Autistic folk or parents of, that have advice for somoene struggling with meeting friends. My autistic son (18 y/o) has really been struggling with this, though he really wants some friends. Trying him with my D&D group this weekend, hoping it goes well🤞.Have thought about martial arts

The people rise up

I absolutely love how the everyone in the U.S. is waking up and seeing the results of the elections this morning and witnessing the begining of the end for the Maga Regime on Nov 5th, it could not be more appropriate.

Congrats to the Democrats in the U.S. for all their victories. Hopefuly this is the begining of the tides of change and we get to see the U.S. citizens take back their country and reclaim democracy.

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate it.

Trump will never realize is that power can be given to anyone, but respect can only ever be earned. He walks into other countries expecting to see massive crowds cheering him and politicians fawning over him. The rest of of world has not been dupped by MAGA propaganda, he has to earn their respect.

Not sure what happened, last thing I knew it was Friday and WHAM Monday came out of nowhere. 🙀

Joys of flying. Pay ahead of time 40 bucks extra for an isle seat. Check in to find that I now have a middle seat. Get offer a chance to pay 40 bucks to move to an isle seat 🤦‍♂️ I can probably get my money back but it will no doubt involve hours of my personal time on the phone with customer service 📞

Proud of my U.S. neighbours for their successful "No Kings" day. Was great to see the huge turnout. Also good to see people all around the world turning out at U.S. Embassies to demonstrate in support of democracy. Time to take your country back patriots! 🇺🇸

Accurate

For those that did not know, Trump is planning on building his own version of France's "Arc de Triomphe" in Washington, called (and I kid you not) the "Arc de Trump". We are living in possibly the dumbest perriod of recorded human history. www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of the times in my life that I felt that I was truly getting old, was when the music I grew up with, was too old for the Classic Radio stations.

For any who might be curious about my strange name, it is Gaelic for Old Wolf

Exclusive footage of the day Stephen Millers mask was torn 📷📰

Doing my best zombie impression as I try my hardest to act like a well rested and congnicent adult on this Monday morning. 🧟

With a world swimming in horrible news and terrible people, please take just one single moment of your day to drop a nice positive comment on somoenes post. It takes little effort but can make someones entire day. Be a sliver of light in a darkening world.

The U.S. Military General meeting went just how I expected it to. All these Generals are balancing their desire to continue to serve with maintaining their eithics and upholding the Constitution.We will see quite a few resignations. Some will stay to help protect the troops, some will kiss the ring.

Just coming off a 4 day weekend. That first day back from a long weekend always hits you like a freight train, tryinhg to remember how to adult again. Not sure one coffee is going to cut it 😂☕

How I expect Hegseths meeting with the Generals to go. "Welcome Generals, thank you for coming. At the front of the room we have letters of fealty you can sign declaring your undying loyalty to out great leader, at the back of the room you can fill out your letters of resignation, your choice"

Sounds like there is going to be a big meeting of most of the U.S. mitary generals in Virginia. The suspected intention of this meeting is a culling of all who are not 100% loyal to the Administration. This will end in the consolidation of the military leadership under hand selected sichophants

As we all need a break from reality these days, these are my top 5 comfort films. 1. Goonies 2. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World 3. Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country 4. Lord of the Rings - Trilogy 5. 5th Element What are your go to comfort films friends?

I wonder if there is a reason they chose Acetaminophen as their target or did they just lazily flip open the pharmaceutical reference book to the "A" section? 🤔

Too bad that they neutered the Whitehouse media. A reporter could have become a legend at question peiod if they asked "Interesting claim about the link of Acetaminophen to Autism, we look forward to actual scientific data, now could you please tell us when you will be releasing the Epstein Files?"

Many comparisons made of the U.S. administration to Nazi Germany (which is fair). Looking back further to the Romans. The senate came to being around 753 bc until it was slowly stripped of power starting in 133 bc up to Ceaser's complete control in 49 bc. Italy did not have democracy until 1948.

Bluesky is the coolest and most awesome collection of people I have ever had the pleasure of hanging out with. Thank you all for being what should be "normal", kind, empathetic, caring and also important funny and sarcastic individuals, in this dark time in human history. ❤️🤘

I realize there are likely no 'Rapture" people on here, but I am going to throw this question out there just the same. Is Trump, Stephen Miller and RFK jr on this "rapture list" by chance? Honestly getting pretty excited about this, do you guys need help packing or anything? 😆

What is the appropriate amount of time to wait to claim a house from people who have been raptured? 1 Day? 1 Week? Nice to finally see a solution to the housing problem.

Some day before I die, I will go an entire day without hearing about or seeing Trump, it will be a glorious day.

This was too good not to share 😂

Media companies, banks, corporations, lawyer firms, etc. think that they are saving themselves headaches by caving to Trumps demands. The reality is that this is a "give them an inch, they will take a foot" situation. The more they give in, the more Trump will demand and the worse it will get.

Hey fellow Canadians, can we start up a new channel as a place of refuge for canceled U.S. shows? Call it The PBS Exile Channel. Come on over Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Sesame Street. FCC can't touch you in Canada. 💪
