Your opinion on supporting Ukraine?
As much as I want to support our needs at home, I believe it is important to make a stand for people who want freedom. We have plenty of needs here in the US, but freedom is our foundation.

I understand the reason that the money was given. But there are so many things still needed in the U.S. And hard-won freedoms here are currently being eroded. It is a bit hypocritical to send money elsewhere when so many here are homeless. But there’s a precedent for this. The U.S. sent troops to fight the Nazis—racially segregated troops.
It’s hard not to be bitter, and I do wish people of the Ukraine their regained freedom, but the United States have wrongs they’ve still not redressed right here, having to do with the very freedom we claim to value.

@bijouxbroussard I don’t disagree. This is a tough one. Great points.
