This article continues to resonate on so many levels.

A key reason people are drawn to Managing with Aloha, is that Aloha presents an abundance mentality, whereas scarcity promotes fear and dread, and snuffs out any glimmer of hope.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

This is one of the most important articles I'll write all year—and the most complete framework for how I'm thinking about progress, public policy, and a better future for all Americans:

America needs an "abundance agenda"

Fact.
#SocialSecurity

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants."

In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

Very self aware assessment by @DmytroKuleba. Great interview by @FareedZakaria

[David Frum @davidfrum]

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Happy to repost this.
One of the reasons I remain on this platform is so I can do my part with elevating fact over fiction, untruths and conspiracy theories.

Please share this fact sheet about Ukraine with anyone who needs it

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

There is an aggressor: Russia.

There is a victim: Ukraine.

We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so.

By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.

Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

Attn @GovJoshGreenMD;
Please follow suit,
Your Hawaii constituent.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Pennsylvania is the proud home to over 150,000 Ukrainian and Ukrainian American people. Some have planted roots here for generations – and tens of thousands are here to find safety after fleeing Vladimir Putin’s aggression.

My statement on today's White House meeting with President Zelenskyy:

[Rosa Say @rosasay]

What will it take for pro-Trump Americans to understand this?

"Trump admiring Putin is far less dangerous than Trump becoming him."

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

"We may never know why Trump is so perversely loyal to Putin," and "we don't know exactly why Musk went all in for Trump and Russia," @Kasparov63 writes. "But the urgency of their actions I do understand, and it's a dire warning": https://t.co/4LdZDcovVJ

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

It's also because America used to stand for something in the world. But Michael is right: Most people don't understand that eventually, the world order that sustains their freedom and standard of living will soon unravel.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

[John Kasich @JohnKasich]

Today’s Oval Office meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy was shameful. President Zelenskyy represents a nation whose citizens have sacrificed their lives and shed blood for the freedoms they cherish. He deserves respect, not humiliation.

[Rosa Say @rosasay]

Oh, I've been embarrassed since the 1st American vote was cast for Trump, and as each conservative Republican has betrayed our values. Yet today was especially shocking, shameful: how can they possibly say that this ambush was done for the sake of diplomacy?
#istandwithzelensky

[Mike Harvey @MikeHarvey4You]

I have never been embarrassed to be an American until today. What Trump and his thugs did today was disdainful, and they think their self-righteous bro behavior is cute. I'm proud Zelenskyy stood his ground and took up for the people of Ukraine.

[Akash Maniam @ManiamAkash]

If you're American or European & celebrate Trump/Vance attacking Zelenskyy, understand this -

Zelenskyy is a hero who handled himself well. The US just embarrassed itself and disrespected Europe on a historic scale. You're supporting your own downfall.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

This is utterly shameful. This is Vladimir Putin's best outcome. The U.S. is placing pressure on a free nation fighting for its life while giving aid and comfort to an authoritarian thug.

[Bernard-Henri Lévy @BHL]

Somewhere near #Ukraine frontline. These men are stunned by the vulgarity of what just happened at White House. But they are proud of the nobility, the allure, in a word, the greatness of their President, Volodymyr #Zelensky, who stands firm in the face of outrage. #SlavaUkraini

[Rosa Say @rosasay]

Completely agree with this.
Let's pay everyone a living wage and eliminate tipping altogether.
#BusinessFinance

[Vox @voxdotcom]

Trump and Harris agree on “no tax on tips.” They’re both wrong. https://t.co/HPFKJbr8P7

Aloha to all of you on this, the 1st day of August 2024.

Our value for the month of August is HO‘OHANA, the Hawaiian value of intentional work:

This is so much more than a “nice move.”
This is the wisdom of a seasoned, accomplished, and well-aged human being.
This is sacrifice.
This is patriotism.
This is courage.
This is leadership.
@JoeBiden is a hero and living legend.

[rands @rands]

Nice move, President Biden. Selfless and smart.

[Rosa Say @rosasay]

“There really isn’t a Democratic Party anymore… In America, parties are shells in which political entrepreneurs operate at will… [in this opportunity to reset] the message of the Dem party should be shaped by its governors, senators and mayors, not activists and academics.”

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

The next few weeks could begin a shift that would make the Democratic Party more attractive to more Americans for decades.

My take:

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Joe Biden has earned his place among the best and most consequential presidents in American history.

I am so proud to serve under his leadership, and thankful for his unwavering focus on what is best for our country.
