Gallery Artsight in Stockholm are hosting an exhibition with russian artists that haven't condemned the war against Ukraine We set up posters in front of the gallery, reminding about the Ukrainian artists killed by russia & the price of russians' silent complicity www.facebook.com/share/p/1BSr...

Russia never looks at "collateral damage." It doesn't anticipate the consequences of its actions. Like a three-day special operation that lasts three years. And every day, 1,000 Russians are killed or wounded.

A Russian blogger shared that many Russians do not realize how many Russian soldiers are dying in the war against Ukraine. "For these two small cities [Pokrovsk and Bakhmut], Russia has already killed 80-100 thousand of its own soldiers. It wasn't Ukraine that killed them, it was Russia," he says.

Some context: Trump is referring to those who fight and die for their country in military service. Those he told John Kelly were “suckers” and “losers.” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats. Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks. Polls were turning on them. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This year, we launched the Democratic Veterans Caucus in Congress. Honored to be among those who’ve served and are committed to standing up for our fellow veterans and active service members.

Grateful to start my Veteran's Day in Cambridge honoring the sacrifices and contributions of our #MA7 veterans. Thank you to Army Veteran Kevin Lambert for his service, and his essential role helping our veterans live healthy, stable, dignified lives.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. On June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American Veterans of ALL wars. Months later, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first #VeteransDay 🇺🇸💙✌🏽 #SheShed 🇺🇸💙✌🏽

Today—coincidentally also Veterans Day—is the birthday of General George S. Patton, described by Eisenhower as indispensable to the Allied war effort in WWII. #GeorgeSPatton #GeneralPatton #💙📚 #Booksky

Thank you for your service to all who are members and veterans of the armed forces. Did you know that Veterans Day was referred to as Armistice Day until 1954 when President Eisenhower signed legislation changing the name of this day of thanks to those who have sacrificed to serve this country?

“On this day of remembrance, let us pray in the name of those who have fought in this country's wars… that there will be no veterans of any further war -- not because all shall have perished but because all shall have learned to live together in peace.” - President John F. Kennedy #VeteransDay

This proposal fails to reduce costs for Arizonans. Because of this, I cannot support it. Congressional Republicans’ refusal to negotiate with Democrats is why the government shut down and why, more than 40 days later, it remains shut down.

Arizonans are suffering from an affordability crisis, driven by Trump’s tariffs and failed economic policies. Grocery prices are up. Electricity prices are up. Now AZ families and small business owners are set to see their out-of-pocket health insurance premiums go up by thousands of dollars.

November is Military Family Appreciation Month, and I’m thinking of the Nava family during this reflective time. After Captain Miguel Justin Nava tragically passed in a helicopter training accident, his family has been working tirelessly to cement his legacy in our West Michigan community.
