Yes, hello, custom ink? How soon can you print this design on 1500 T-shirts?

@rev_potter Doesn’t your realization of this put your skills (or at least your approach to content) in a higher percentile than those who don’t recognize their privilege?
Self-awareness is a valuable resource in a communicator. To the point that you might influence others.

If true, this would fit the pattern of the West always seeking loopholes to avoid making sacrifices themselves, thus ensuring Putin avoids the worst impact of sanctions. This is why he doesn't fear them anymore. Yes, fighting involves risk and sacrifice.

President Zelensky’s address to the Russian people “was a speech for the ages, one that deserves to be read now and long after this crisis is over. For it did not just plead his people’s case, though it did that: ‘Lots of you have relatives in Ukraine… 1/2

He’s completely “hinged” and has out-played the West for 30 years. He’s not trying to restore the USSR. He thinks he’s Peter the Great with tanks.
I’m old enough to remember when people treated Trump like he didn’t mean what he said because “no one could be that crazy”

I’ve watched and listened to Putin for over thirty years. He has changed. He sounds completely disconnected from reality. He sounds unhinged.

Remember when Glasnost was so great because Russians could get Big Macs, Coke, and Levi’s?
What if those American (multi-national) companies felt the sting of American and European boycotts and protests decorated with Ukrainian flags? KFC Moscow? Neyt anymore!!

Faye Schulman was spared by German officers on the condition that she would photograph them. She would ultimately use those photographs against them as proof of their barbarity. She was believed to be 101 when she died in April. https://t.co/x01a12pX3X

Republicans held 32 hearings, 7 congressional investigations, published 11 reports, and forced Hillary Clinton to testify for 11 hours about Benghazi.

But they refuse to support a bipartisan commission to investigate an insurrection right here in the U.S. https://t.co/5PuZI68zJ3

#SB202 suppresses voters, criminalizes compassion & seizes election authority from local + state officials. In 11 years, I never witnessed a massive bill approved at such speed and signed in such desperation. This wasn’t efficiency or principle. This is cowardice. #gapol
