just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

🇮🇹🇺🇦 Italian PM Meloni has proposed extending NATO's Article 5 to Ukraine without its membership in the alliance, — FT

"Russia is the aggressor, Zelenskyy is a war leader whose country has been invaded, and we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin!" - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Please lecture us more about free speech in Europe.

British troops have fought and died alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to be written off as non-existent people from "some random country". We have to maintain tolerable relations with this administration to try and minimise damage, but my god it's not easy.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Vi har fått 1000 nye underskrifter bare i kveld for å øke støtten til Ukraina betydelig. Støtt oppropet for å legge press på regjeringen! 🇺🇦https://mdg.no/ukraina🇺🇦

This has to be right. Starmer's summit on Sunday has become a potentially decisive moment. If Europeans don't throw their weight behind Ukraine and behind a massive and immediate increase in their defence efforts (& damn the deficits), Europe will find itself at the mercy of Putin & Trump.

❗️President's of Ukraine shared his first tweet after the meeting.

The unravelling of the transatlantic order is moving from hypothetical and tentative to sudden and brutal. The West as a strategic construct is broken. 🇪🇺 and its 510 million inhabitants (EU, UK, Norway) is now very much on its own. This isn't an nth wakeup call but like being thrown out of bed...

Some history to explain what happened in the Oval Office from my just-posted article in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

After the heated exchange at the White House and intense pressure from Trump and Vance, key leaders have spoken out, including Germany's CDU deputy leader, who said, "Europe will not betray Ukraine. How can anyone strike the back of a president from an occupied country?"

🇵🇱❤️🇺🇦

Vans er ingen diplomat, for å si det forsiktig. Virker som han kun er opptatt av å please Trump. Hadde ikke Vance vært der tror jeg det ville gått mye bedre x.com/rachelbiteco...

Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain, responded to President Trump, who said the EU was formed "in order to screw the United States:" "There are those who say that the European Union was created to annoy others. It is not true.

Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

1-5 There are many renditions of Ukraine's national anthem, at various times and places, that stir the heart. A selection. 1: the most powerful in my view was on 3 March 2022, at a time when many believed Kyiv would fall. Ukraine's Parliament stood heroically. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAZa...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

💯 Macron: Zelenskyy was elected in free elections, unlike Putin

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.
