Default Stevie's Post on Ukraine

https://twitter.com/StevieNicks/stat...C59YX8xccpAAAA

Nice journal entry from Stevie.

I noticed she mentioned "Don't forget what we were fighting for; don't forget it" as her mother's response to 9/11

That line is from her song "Show Them the Way"

I took the line "Don't forget..." from the song as fighting for social justice.

She was born in Chernobyl, so she knows how it feels there

I was prepared to share a snarky comment about “Landslide” having been written 47 years previously about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But...

Then I read her post. Because it was prompted by her direct connection to someone living there, and because she was coming from a place of sympathy, I am actually touched. I was initially confused about how the 9/11 reference fit but I now see where was going, and the Hitler analogy is apt.

I'm sure that we're somehow related...

Yeah 99% of what she says now is cringe worthy but I'll give her a pass on this one.

I think a link to donate would've beautifully completed this post. Ariana Grande, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Vanessa Carlton, and Madonna all shared donation links.

If she really cared she would not be tweeting but sending money to assist refugees. Hashtags and tweets don't do anything. As scary as this is, thank goodness our Putin puppet is gone because he was destroying NATO. Europe and the world is more united than ever. Its about time the world throws Putin a punch after decades of oppression, murdering political opponents home and abroad, invading sovereign countries, exporting misinformation, and hacking elections. This is what you get when 20 years of sitting on your hands does to a brutal dictator. The death march to Kiev continues.

Sorry, not impressed with a tweet.

LET FREEDOM RING

SOS UKRAINE

We sleep in our beds at night in peace. Imagine packing what you can into a suitcase and fleeing. If you are a male, you say goodbye to your family to stay and fight and most likely die. Family pets cant fit on trains so they are left abandoned to die. You know you are a monster when neutral countries who stayed neutral in the Nazi era and sending arms and support to Ukraine. Any American that sides with Putin is anti-American because the first rule of Putin is to destroy our freedom and democracy. Putin is now threatening the world with nuclear weapons. Why are ambassadors not being recalled?

I give her a pass because being in Fleetwood Mac was like being in the army.

She posted another entry today and it's weird.

She quotes Like A Rolling Stone. She tells the head of Russia he's lonely and has no friends.

Advanced writing by Stevie.

Sounds like her assessment might be of herself. Seriously.
