@greggish.bsky.social genuinely, so far as you can bear to find out.. what did Trump voters make of that? Because over here, I can't find anyone who isn't even more convinced that 1. Zelensky/Ukes are heroes we need to back to the end 2. Uncle Sam cant be trusted

🚨The Trump administration is considering ending all ongoing shipments of military aid to Ukraine in response to Zelensky’s remarks in the Oval Office on Friday and his perceived intransigence in the peace process, per senior administration official

Call your rep. Demand a town hall. If they’re GOP and won’t give one, invite a Dem to your district in their place. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121

How can we, as individuals, donate directly and effectively to the Ukrainian war effort? I’m skeptical of, and want to avoid organizations that skim most of the funds as administrative costs.

Zelenskyy has huge balls. Doing this all right in front of the press. Honestly the first bit of inspiring media I've seen in a long time.

Where is Starmer's statement of support for Zelenskyy. No excuses. No equivocation.

Pedro Sánchez Prime Minister of Spain 👏

European leaders are stepping forward to tonight to show their support for President Zelensky 👏

I don't think it's possible for any US citizen to truly understand the scale of the horror we're feeling in the rest of the world tonight. To see a brave man bullied by Trump like that, in public... Its a nightmare. US Allies now know Uncle Sam might shoot you in the back. Enemies are celebrating.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Republicans on Capitol Hill are shying away from criticizing Trump’s policies over fears for their physical safety and that of their families, a Democratic member of Congress has said www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ukrainian solider on the front lines: “Even if we don’t get enough weapons or if funding is cut, that doesn’t change our duty to (fight)." No shells? We’ll take up rifles. No rifles? We’ll grab shovels.”

The state's outbreak has so far infected at least 124 people, mostly children, and sent at least 18 to the hospital.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

Probably useful if you've not published a lot as first/corresponding author(s)
