@RepDonBacon @grok how easy is it for TPS recipients to obtain permanent residence under the current administration, and does that application itself increase chances of deportation?

@PopovaProf Do you have ideas?
After the Iran debacle, I no longer think it is feasible to destabilize these dictatorships.

@PeterLiuCASM @SariArhoHavren What was the risk?

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@NewReaganCaucus This was the inevitable outcome of this ill conceived operation and why so many of us opposed it.

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@ankletwist @CkrogvigKrogvig @HavryshkoMarta I don’t insist they go back to fight.
I just help those who do fight:
Donate to charities and unit fundraisers. Advocate with US authorities for more help.
And yes, I do speak up for Ukraine’s sovereign right to have a draft, like any other country that’s being invaded.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

According to the #GospelOfToday (Mt 10:37–42), those who hold on to their lives merely for themselves actually lose them, for they do not open themselves to the joy of love and thus become barren. This is why Jesus invites us to embrace the cross. He offered himself, lost himself, and in this very way we were enabled to receive his life in abundance.

@FrazandLoki @mark_slapinski Moscow is well prepared for such attempts unfortunately.
Recall the fate of Prigozhins attempt.

I see you are a fan of curious facts. Here is one for you:
Putin’s invasion of Crimea started only 3 days after Yanukovich fled Ukraine.
How was it that Putin was ready to execute this complex military and diplomatic operation?
And isn’t it convenient that Russia ended up getting lots of land out of the Maidan events?

@joblijob16 @HavryshkoMarta She is making it sound like draft dodgers have some intrinsic right to asylum, which they do not. Only under special circumstances and it’s the host country’s call:

@MBSepulveda @HavryshkoMarta My great grandfather was killed fighting the nazis in 1942. I seldom think of conscription. But I often think of his sacrifice and courage.

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@CkrogvigKrogvig @HavryshkoMarta Then why has Russia barely advanced on the battlefield?

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@ankletwist @CkrogvigKrogvig @HavryshkoMarta It is absurd, it is a distraction, and it has a psychological effect on some people - “gosh, if I can’t myself go to the front, I might as well stop helping Ukraine!”
But taunts only work on people who are looking for an excuse already.

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@CkrogvigKrogvig @HavryshkoMarta Moscow is a classic overland empire - exploiting the periphery to enrich the center.
Overland empires may last a long time, but they don’t last forever. Therefore the confederacy in your analogy maybe Russia.

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@ankletwist @CkrogvigKrogvig @HavryshkoMarta Yawn… I demand more original taunts from my haters!

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@CkrogvigKrogvig @HavryshkoMarta You are putting the effect before the cause. The cause is Russia's invasion. Do everything you can to oppose it - that is the only way.

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@MikefromFL_MAGA @HavryshkoMarta Of course, but they won't, because this war is existential for Ukraine - and it is a war of choice for Russia. Push the side that can more easily stop.

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@HavryshkoMarta Ukraine WAS neutral before Russia invaded in 2014. So obviously this is not the problem.

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@HavryshkoMarta I help how I can. Thus I am helping end the war.
On the other hand, those who push Ukraine to surrender are prolonging the war.

[MA for Ukraine @MAforUkraine]

@NAFOfrumzl Awesome!
More French supporters should unite through @EuActionUkraine
