❗️Right now, Russia is attacking Dnister Hydroelectric Power Plant — one of the largest pumped-storage power plants in the world is under attack.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Oh.

“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

National Consumer Protection Week is a great time to learn how to recognize and report scams and fraud.

Damnit. And I kept snidely commenting Persia invented chess today on @nicolesandler.bsky.social's show, KNOWING someone would tell me it was Russia.

While Kristi Noem funneled $220M in taxpayer funds into self-promoting political ads, she refused to distribute $500M+ in FEMA funding for LA Fire survivors.

The Trump Administration must immediately release that relief and redirect those wasted ad dollars to recovery efforts.
