I’m off on holiday a bit worried about everyone staying behind in Kyiv… but simultaneously hoping that the conclusion of my latest report is too pessimistic - as I believe Ukrainians are working on new ways to protect the sky over their capital. Anyway here it is m.youtube.com/watch?v=o5WG...

Sorry, I meant state lawmaker/representative not senator (the wounded one is a state senator) I don’t know my US state politics terminology very well. Also I want to stress that I’m not in any way suggesting the media got their priorities wrong, just that it was a hell of a day.

Tens of thousands protested across the US to defend democracy against their president, a state senator and her husband were shot dead and another badly wounded… And neither of these things are the top news today.

Are people who’ve read the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire feeling like they know what’s going on these days better than the rest of us? It’s too big of a book for me to read but I’ve got a hunch…

Exactly! The factor by which a billionaire is richer than a millionaire is the same factor as that by which a millionaire is richer than someone whose entire life savings amount to one thousand pounds.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

I reckon the problem is that we can’t fully understand just how rich the super-rich are. Our brains can’t handle the numbers. Take millionaires. Millionaires are considered rich. A millionaire is A THOUSAND times poorer than a billionaire.

This is getting somewhat lost. The night before Ukraine's drone raid, Russia conducted what was the largest drone attack on Ukraine in the war to date—and, I guess, ever—with 472 Shahed-type attack drones. Broke last week's record by 100 drones. kyivindependent.com/russia-shatt...

🔴 Ukraine is ready to join a full ceasefire format and will respond symmetrically to Russia’s actions: “silence in response to silence, strikes only in defense,” Zelenskyy says.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba puts it pretty succinctly here. Unless of course you believe that Putin would accept some sort of deal to save face (which I very strongly doubt) www.instagram.com/reel/DIZ06oT...

Zelensky to Trump: « you said you’d help us get more air defences, we’ve had at least 55 civilians killed in the last ten days, could you do that please? » Trump: « shut up you shouldn’t have started the war » Somehow I feel like there isn’t nearly enough international outrage about this.

I got CCTV footage from the Kryvy Rih restaurant Russia said it bombed on Friday to kill Ukrainian military top brass. There were no officers there, & the restaurant was not directly hit by the bomb, which was a cluster bomb, illegal & tactically inappropriate www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

I’d like to remind everyone posting about Le Pen, whether in support of or against her conviction, that she has been barred from running for office due to being found guilty of embezzling five million euros, & lots of people go to jail for stealing much less. But it is not because of her politics.

As for me, I know that I can… But in practice all I ever succeed in turning it into is a minor contribution to my general sense of guilt and of not being on top of things in life

It’s three years since those horrors were first revealed, in Bucha. But that does not mean that they just happened three years ago and then stopped. Torture and murder of civilians remains commonplace in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine.
