President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine appealed to the Trump administration on Wednesday to respect the truth and avoid disinformation in discussing the war that began with a Russian invasion of his country, in his first response to Trump’s suggestion that Ukraine started the war. nyti.ms/4gNBP2h

Do you want to understand what is happening? This is a good read www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I am waiting to see if Trump/Musk pulls my Social Security payment from my bank account because they do not like my social media feeds.

In the weeks since Trump took office, Elon Musk has posted on X at the pace of an iPad-addicted child. A sample: In two hours on Friday, Musk tweeted more than 40 times—about once every three minutes. @nlanard.bsky.social on the clear story the posts tell:

Days after the world remembers the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, POTUS announces the establishment of a detention center for 30,000 immigrants to house those who will not be accepted back into their country of origin. What does POTUS intend to do with these people at that point
