11:11, make a wish!
This CA condor received fancy 1111 wing tags, after receiving a health check, by our partners over at The Peregrine Fund. Condor 1111 is Zion National Park's second wild-fledged CA condor and one of 110+ members of the Arizona-Utah condor population. #thread
I stopped by a meeting with President @niinisto of Finland and my National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
I made clear my support for a speedy accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, and President Niinisto and I discussed our continued commitment to supporting Ukraine.
Communicated with media in the 🇦🇪 a lot – from «Emirates Today» to @Morning_Joe, @Forbes, @AlArabiya. I use each opportunity to remind the world what 🇺🇦 is fighting for and why aggressor is the one to blame. Zero tolerance for wars of aggression will preserve humanity and freedom
I'm moved by the words of Pastor and author Brett Webb-Mitchell: "Whether we are on an actual pilgrimage or perceive that the road of life we are on is our pilgrimage, each step is blessed by the Spirit..." #DailyMeditations https://t.co/HqMAtzz4fS
Today is International Women's Day.
In our language, Ukraine is a "she". Our women have always been strong and independent.
Today, each Ukrainian woman does things beyond possible to protect our country and our people - in the Army or in arrears.
She will win 🇺🇦
This award is for every 🇺🇦 woman. Whether they are fighting or volunteering. It is a great honor to receive the Torch of Freedom on their behalf at @Forbes 30/50 forum. Our women – unquenchable torches of freedom, light, perseverance. We are proud and grateful. You are Ukraine.
Starting today in the Andersen caverns @umnlib gathering up some almanacs in need of care & cataloging in order to make them more accessible. Always stewards with a view to future generations of students & researchers. It’s what we do & what we’re about.
Woke is choosing reality over conspiracy, hope over fear, courage over cowardice and empathy over cruelty for a better future. Woke is about addressing past injustices of our country- not because it's easy but because it is hard and necessary to create a more perfect union.
Father and son, Oleh and Mykyta Khomyuk, died in a battle near Bakhmut.
From the first days of the full-scale russian invasion both went to defend their land as servicemen of @TDF_UA
They died together
True heroes don’t die, they forever remain in our hearts
Glory to the Heroes!
A historic voting in 🇧🇪 House of Representatives: one more state recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people! I’m thankful to Belgium for this important decision for every Ukrainian, for this deeply symbolic step today!
Prime Minister of Finland @MarinSanna arrived to Ukraine today. She met with @ZelenskyyUa.
We are very grateful to Finland for helping and supporting Ukraine in our fight for freedom!

If @HouseGOP wants new Jan 6 hearings, bring it on. Let’s replay every witness & all the evidence from last year. But this time, those members who sought pardons and/or hid from subpoenas should sit on the dais so they can be confronted on live TV with the unassailable evidence.
One lesson of Jan 6 is this: Trump’s lies, spread on TV & social media, provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. No responsible adult, and especially no American pledged to our Constitution, should deny what happened or repeat the same reckless lies.
In thinking about #pilgrimage, I'm inspired by two academic scholars Victor and Edith Turner, who explain: “Pilgrimage may be thought of as extroverted mysticism, just as mysticism is introverted pilgrimage.” #DailyMeditations https://t.co/rI1yJwegSR
“Abrahamic Family House” interfaith complex in Abu Dhabi – special and inspiring place. It brings together Christianity, Islam, Judaism as a sign that people can live in peace despite all differences. The main thing is common values. This is exactly what 🇺🇦 is defending today.
