CreativeMarket (similar to Etsy) has created links to support their Ukrainian creatives

FYI - one more way to help Ukrainians directly

https://creativemarket.com/blog/ukraine?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ukraine_3858217

Over the last decade, we’ve had the honor to welcome talented Ukrainian creatives to this community: more than 94,000 Dribbble designers and 1,200 Creative Market shops are based in Ukraine. On February 24, their lives and dreams were suddenly shattered by conflict. According to the UNHCR, the number of civilians fleeing Ukraine has now reached 2 million, making it the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.

At Dribbble, we believe creativity thrives when human beings are free to design their lives without fear of violence. That’s why we’re partnering with the International Rescue Committee to provide relief to Ukrainians seeking refuge. Their teams are on the ground in Poland providing critical aid to families fleeing the conflict and trying to gain control over their future. Together, Creative Market and Dribbble will donate $50,000 USD to this cause.

Over the coming days, we will also showcase Ukrainian creators across our platforms. We encourage you to support their extraordinary design work on Dribbble and ready-to-use assets on Creative Market’s new Finds Page

https://creativemarket.com/finds/ukraine?campaign-name=ukraine-support.

We’re here to empower creatives to make a living doing what they love, in peace.

was watching TBN this weekend in my hotel room

came across it while scanning

shocked/grossed out to discover they are running a 1 hour special, over and over again, praising Jared Kushner for the Abraham Accords

this special has massive production values, lots of mega-dramatic music and graphics, and all the Biblical references you could ever imagine
JARED EVEN TALKS!!!
and there's Ivanka, dressed all pretty and giving high fives to people! yea! I'm on TV!

to hear them tell it, the Abraham Accords have completely re-shaped the middle east and now everything is peaceful and prosperous


And then I caught part of sermon from Hagee - who was railing about gas prices and immigrants

DISGUSTING! POLITICAL! HATEFUL! Should not be tax exempt.

Breaking MSNBC: New Subpoenas from J6 Committee: Cleta Mitchell & 5 others

none household names

attorneys

strong-arming state election officials

drafting coup memos

involved with trying to seize voting machines





Edit to add a couple of links:

The congressional Jan. 6 Committee on Tuesday subpoenaed several new witnesses in its probe of the Capitol attack, including a prominent Republican lawyer who advised Donald Trump during his effort to steal a second term, and a One America News Network anchor who worked on the side for Rudy Giuliani.

...

The committee’s subpoena of Mitchell stated that its investigation “has revealed credible evidence that you publicly promoted claims that the 2020 election was stolen and participated in attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of the election results based on your allegations.”

...

In its subpoena issued to Christina Bobb, the One America News Network anchor, the committee cited reporting by Politico that Bobb was involved in some way in the drafting of a proposed executive order, never signed by Trump, directing federal agencies to seize voting machines across several states.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has subpoenaed Cleta Mitchell and five others they accuse of promoting baseless claims of election fraud and forwarding various efforts to unwind former President Trump's 2020 loss.

...

Mitchell, a conservative lawyer who helped the Trump campaign file a lawsuit challenging Georgia's election results, was on the now infamous phone call where Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to reverse President Biden's victory in the state.

...

The committee also subpoenaed Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney for the campaign in Wisconsin who the panel says "actively promoted legal theories within the Trump campaign supporting the use of slates of bogus electors."
