I'm not ignoring the news. I am shocked, dismayed, and worried. Some days you let it go, others you point out the racism, extreme right-wing whackadoodle ideas.
With the US election, the state of affairs have devolved. Russia is bombing Ukraine. Ukraine is enacting a response.

The US military continues to monitor the situation.
During the US election, Twitter posts were limited by Musk's algorithms. Many of us have gone to 🦋Blue Sky 🦋. There were 13 million users, then a million new users in one day, next count 15 million. Now, there are many more. 
UPDATE: Nov. 27:
I liked Twitter, as I found some actual breaking news. There were biologists who helped me with critter IDs. People who shared cute critter images have migrated to Bluesky.
👫👬👭In the US, they are trying to forbid the first elected transgendered politician from accessing facilities.
"G.O.P. lawmakers whose leaders have pressed to roll back transgender rights around the country moved to bar Sarah McBride, the first transgender member of Congress, from women’s rooms on Capitol Hill."
Having a transgender grandson, and a gay granddaughter, I am appalled. How do they determine if people visiting the washrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms are biologically male or female. What are they afraid of? With Trump, Gaetz, Hegseth, all with a history or conviction of sexually abusing girls or women (all rich white men), all having paid non-disclosure agreements to women, you wonder who should be afraid of whom.
When you know better, you do better. That's the theory. Read about the issues, try to understand the biology of it all, you are in a far better place. Or just live and let live.
