Hey, here's a really great short story for your saturday afternoon, with a real gutpuncher of a last line. Enjoy! hex.ooo/library/nine...

Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President. Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

There is no doubt that Zelensky and the Ukrainian people want peace. The only country attacking in Ukraine, conquering territory and striking civilian targets is Russia. Russia can stop this war today. However they don't want that. Putin wants to destroy Ukraine as a sovereign and independent nation

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Pres Trump: ‘I think Europe has given $100bn [to Ukraine] and we’ve given, let’s say, $300bn plus.’ The most reliable figures show the EU has given $138bn to Ukraine, while the US has given $114bn. In 2024 Europe and Canada provided nearly 60% of NATO’s security aid to Ukraine.

Ik hoop dat de scenario's en plannen voor een complete "break-down" in relaties met de VS, het uiteenvallen van de NAVO en dergelijke klaarliggen. Ook op digitaal gebied. Iedereen die denkt dat dit alleen een "handelsoorlogje" is zit niet op te letten.

This is a word of warning to all of us. Left, right, or anything else. Constantly reevaluating and learning.

This is what we all should remember.
