Three On Thursday

One sad, one interesting, and one unforgivable.

1.) 

Ah, so Blue Haiku

This is me, it's true, so true

Do you feel this blue?

2.)

"I gather all the News I need from the Weather Report"

3.) I am reminded of a Genocide  

I stand with Ukraine! 

At least 4 million Ukrainians starved to death in prison camps, or in their own towns, as Stalin took food train after food train out of Ukraine fields to feed his armies, and people in Russia 

I will not forget what happened to Ukrainians under Stalin.   It is a mistake for anyone to think that Ukraine is, "a founding member of the Soviet Union” as was said in an opEd for the New York Times.  They were not. They resisted collectivization by Stalin and were starved to death or transported to Siberian labor camps in their millions. Russia under Putin is at it again. Infiltrating, meddling, annexing, and then going to war with Ukraine. 

Putin is claiming a false ownership of the Ukraine.  He is not being truthful. He is stealing people, including teenagers, children, and sending them deep within Russia.  Don’t believe him. Don’t trust him.
