Demanding Zelenskyy to apologize on camera to Trump and Vance, while simultaneously demanding he negotiates a 'peace deal' with russia—who invaded our country to kill, destroy entire towns, kidnap children, loot, and rape—is probably the most striking cognitive dissonance I've seen.

Smart thread here

The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.

A peace proposal for Ukraine: 1. Russia and North Korea completely withdraw from all Ukrainian territory 2. Ukraine will not give one inch of its soil to Russia 3. Russia will release all prisoners and kidnapped individuals 4. Russia will pay 100% of Ukraine's reconstruction

Many caveats here. I don't understand much of this myself. I'm only trying to learn—not come to conclusions. I post this only to ask if anyone with relevant expertise has seen this video—and its many charts—and finds it compelling. (Do ignore the splashy title—this is a dry and sober assessment.)

European Council president António Costa: "We must learn from the past. We cannot repeat the Minsk experience. We cannot repeat at all Afghanistan’s tragedy, and we need for this strong security guarantees and peace making go hand in hand with peacekeeping."

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

American businesses have remained operational in Ukraine both before and during the war. Unfortunately, your McDonald's theory is proving ineffective and should not be considered a reliable guarantee.

Dear @australianlabor.bsky.social The Albanese Australian Govt needs to withdraw from AUKUS immediately. Not "consider it", do it. Now. Under Trump, the USA is NOT a trustworthy ally; it is a potential threat. #auspol #AusVotes2025 #AUKUS #USPolitics

Donald Trump has absolutely no idea what any of this means. This is the end stage of the PayPal Mafia’s nearly 30 year plan to replace the dollar with gold-backed digital money and control the world economy. Again, why do you think they want to look in Ft. Knox? It’s a heist.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

Macron: “But we must not forget one point—if anyone is playing the Third World War, it is Vladimir Putin. He was the one who started the war three years ago, and he brought 10,000 North Korean soldiers to European soil.”

Arrests today after a peaceful civil action at the Tesla showroom in New York they chanted “we the people defend the constitution”

MAGA, which supports a violent insurrection against our free and fair election, and also follows in the footsteps of the Tea Party, named after a political protest in which people threw British tea off a ship, are now REALLY, REALLY mad that people are protesting Tesla and Musk. LOL.

✅Measles was declared eliminated in U.S. in 2000 due to the measles vaccine. 📍Today, Mexico has issued a warning to avoid traveling to the U.S. because of measles outbreaks in Texas and 7 other U.S. states.

Do Americans want to be aligned with Russia against all of our traditional allies in Europe and Asia? I don't think so

Very tough day yesterday, with the US siding with Russia against Ukraine. But at least all of those people who told us for three years that Ukraine was just a US proxy will now admit they were wrong (no?)

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

You know how Trump and Musk want to visit Fort Knox to see the gold? All I can think of is Scrooge McDuck ...

The Texas Department of State Health Services confirmed at least 90 cases of measles in the South Plains region of the state. At least 90 confirmed cases of a rapidly growing outbreak — across seven counties. Only five of the 90 patients had been vaccinated. The outbreak has resulted in 16…

The divide in politics today is between unreality and reality. Those who seek to rule the world blur human experience and smudge memory, making cooperation and friendship laughable and unthinkable. Ukraine resists an unreality war. snyder.substack.com/p/the-realit...

There are eight living species of pelican and ours are, naturally, Australian pelicans (Pelecanus conspicillatus). This is the only type we see here. I think they are the best looking species - but I may be biased 😊

One of the most powerful political cartoons I have seen. Follow the artist at @ellabaron.bsky.social.

Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, Spain and EU leaders all in Kyiv today

#Zaporizhzhya #nuclear power plant has been relying on a single off-site power line for more than a week now after the other 9 have been taken offline due to the war - this single power line is critical to prevent massive radioactive releases at the site.. www.iaea.org/newscenter/p...

⚡️Australia, New Zealand impose new sanctions against Russia. Australia has introduced the most extensive package of sanctions since the beginning of the all-out war, while New Zealand imposed restrictions on over 50 individuals and entities.

Europe has a solution for Starlink, it is faster and the quality is better. The IRIS 2 program. IRIS will make Starlink obsolete and provide permanent global coverage. The US, and especially Musk, are not needed. #IRIS #EU youtu.be/V-SXNVeNby0

Germany has held Bundestag elections.Exit polls show that the conservative CDU/CSU bloc is in the lead as of now "Now we must quickly restore our ability to act so that we can do the right things at home,..that the world can see that Germany is once again governed in a reliable manner,"Merz said

Word choice and phrasing matters. ABC RN just reported "Ukraine has entered its fourth year of war with Russia". Russia is the aggressor, not Ukraine! Why not report "Ukraine has entered its fourth year defending itself against Russia's unprovoked invasion."? #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 🌻 #JournalismMatters

Conservative leader Friedrich Merz won the German election today and is on track to take the reins of the EU’s largest economy. Here’s what a Merz-led Germany means for the EU 👇

🔥 Merz wins - and AfD will NOT be in his coalition. Good!

Donations are stalled. Could you hook it up with a quote-repost? There’s five days left to raise the remaining amount and I’d love to roll into Ukraine with that representation of support at the launch of @UAfemmechanics

London today. Thank you for standing with #Ukraine! 📹: ukrainesol

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Thousands at the Lincoln memorial standing up for Ukraine, proving Trump doesn't speak for all the US with his treason. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

⚡️⚡️⚡️ On the eve of three years since Russia’s brutal invasion, Ukraine 🇺🇦 continues its fight for freedom. Their struggle is our struggle—support those willing to die for liberty against tyranny. #StandWithUkraine

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Hey, Americans (and everyone else!): peaceful, democratic and not-insane Australia may have a job for you, especially if you work in healthcare. Why not bring your qualifications, skills and experience to a country that appreciates them? Have a look! immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/workin...

Extorting minerals out of a country where old people and children are being dismembered by remote-operated drones all day long is up there with the most enraging things I’ve ever heard.
