Lots of blooms!

and many thanks to Kate without whom I would not have this beautiful garden
I have little daffodils in bloom, crocuses still in bloom, some snowbells still in bloom, and lots of hellebores in bloom

My neighbor’s mom is fine with the firings of government personnel because she thinks they were just loafing off. Things will probably have to get bad for these sorts of people, personally, before they have a problem with dear leader. They will have to suffer so much that it outweighs their hatred of brown and trans people. 

We’ve begun deporting and detaining immigrants who are here legally. 

There is a collective of Russians fighting for Ukraine. They are called the Nomad unit and have been officially made part of the International Legion of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine because more words = more official. Nomad is made up of Russian indigenous peoples, including Kalmyks, Tatars, Buryats, Bashkiria, and Yakuts. They have a common enemy - Putin. Recruits can apply for Ukrainian citizenship. 

Zelensky said that Ukraine has successfully test long range drones capable of 3,000 km. 

The Swedish Defence Material Administration received approval to get 18 Archer artillery systems to give to Ukraine. This is valued at about 3 billion Swedish Kroner or $300 million.
