From the Economist: A huge majority (74%) of Ukrainians favour fighting on even without US support. A clear majority (59% v 21%) say they believe #Ukraine can still win on the battlefield, in contrast to American officials such as Marco Rubio, the US sec of state, who say it can't. #UkrainianView

Vladimir Putin does not typically dress in military fatigues, and the main reason for this, I can only assume, is that he looks absolutely terrible in them.

I think one thing about the DOGE guys is they believe no one is actually a liberal, all of their opponents are paid shills, because they themselves faked being liberal for years and assume everyone is actually like them

I should also say I don’t think K-12 private schools should exist nor homeschooling be allowed. Everyone should go to public schools and be required to have the same education regardless of class. You shouldn’t be able to opt out of a common shared education for the sake of civic life. Send tweet.

People think I’m joking when I keep saying I would abolish YA literature. No. You people need to be tied down and forced to read Homer, Shakespeare, and Dante until you’re ready to engage in democratic civic life as well ordered citizens.

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S. It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks. The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

I think it’s fascinating how this administration’s guiding principle on every single policy is just “be evil.” Starving children? Take away their food. AIDS patients? Take away their treatments. Refugees from conflict zones? Deport them. Nations under attack? Cut off assistance. VA? Fire everyone.

The fascist USA is withdrawing from Europe while fascist Russia is still on the war march, and I still see so many Irish progressives denouncing EU defence spending as a pointless evil or waste of money. People calling the new air defence missiles being made in Belfast for Ukraine “murder”.

For a number of years the Brits suffered heavier casualty rates than the US in Afghanistan because we let them deal with Helmand to fight a GOP war of choice in Iraq. And it was the French who hunted down the ISIS leader responsible for the Niger ambush where 4 US soldiers died while Trump golfed.

I think Vance is a far bigger threat in the long run. I also think he might be the key to stopping all this because I sincerely believe it’s possible to make him cry on camera and that the spell would be, if not broken, at least weakened by one of the cult’s high priests breaking down like that.

The far right hates Zelensky because he shatters their masculine pretense. While they cosplay as ‘strongmen’ from behind keyboards, he leads on the front lines. Real courage exposes their posturing for what it is: empty, fragile, and afraid.

Ursula von der Leyen commented on the Summit: ◾️Europeans need to work on “basically turning Ukraine into a steel porcupine that is indigestible for potential invaders.” ◾️"We urgently have to rearm Europe". The European Commission will propose a plan on this at the European Council on 6 March.

A lot of people have convinced themselves that what's preventing radical activism in the US is that we're uniquely repressed and impoverished, when it's exactly the opposite. It's all cargo cult politics, we're in an age of trying to act out the past in an effort to revive it by sympathetic magic.
