💬 "I’m absolutely convinced that we need a lasting peace, not a ceasefire, and for that to happen we need security guarantees," says British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Ukrainian blogger Max Sviy offers hugs to those who have lost loved ones in Russia’s war against Ukraine. His own brother went missing two and a half years ago.

If the 2024 ballot hadn't listed Kamala Harris' opponent as Trump but instead had listed it as "Child Deaths from Measles," a lot of Americans still would've voted against Kamala. They would've voted for Measles because it wasn't a Black woman.

Esta es la chulería propia de un ministro que frecuenta el palco del Bernabéu donde se hacen los grandes negocios de Estado como antes se hacían en cacerías con Franco. Toda esa bravuconería de Óscar Puente se convierte en genuflexión y reverencias a Florentino Pérez, uno de los amos del país.

HAPPENING NOW!! Top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas tells Washington audience that it is important to make sure Ukrainians are “as strong as they would be able to say ‘no’ to the bad deal.” “The stronger they are on the battlefield, the stronger they are behind the negotiation table “

feeling compelled to share this once again

After the Trump administration pressured Romania to lift the Tate brothers’ travel ban—despite their ongoing trial there for rape, child trafficking, and money laundering—they’re now heading to the U.S. MAGA will give them a hero’s welcome The MAGA movement is rotten to the core.

Unmanned Systems Forces are testing domestic fiber optic modules called Silkworm, which are designed for installation on air, ground, and sea drones. #UAV #Ukraine #Drones

New from me: DOGE is already causing chaos in Antarctica. Daily life at US-run Antarctic stations has been disrupted, and scientists don’t know if their research will be able to continue, how US stations will be sustained, or what all of this might mean for the continent’s delicate geopolitics.

MANA Nutrition makes a special kind of peanut butter paste that many humanitarian aid workers are familiar with. On Wednesday afternoon, Mark Moore, the CEO and co-founder of the Fitzgerald, Georgia-based plant, got word from USAID that MANA’s contracts with the agency were being canceled.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responds to Trump, who falsely claimed yesterday that the EU “was formed in order to screw the United States.”

You voted for a corrupt sexual predator who assaulted multiple women and even admitted it on tape. What did you think would happen?

This is an obvious lie.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

1/ Despite promises from the Russian government, wounded soldiers are routinely being denied medical examinations, psychiatric assistance, or prosthetic limbs, leading to sick, limbless and brain-damaged men being returned to the front lines.

New — The Social Security Administration (SSA) Acting General Counsel Grace Kim just announced her retirement to staff, a person who was present tells me. Kim will be replaced by a private sector exec named Mark Steffensen, formerly of HSBC. Sources say he was directly picked by White House.

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.

New. Russia was kicked out of world football after the invasion of Ukraine. Still, at the heart of Uefa’s decision making is Alexander Duykov, the chairman of Gazprom Neft, a company with a private army fighting Ukrainians. josimarfootball.com/2025/02/24/p...

Not a military coup, but still a coup. Not a coordinate quick event, but an inundation of events. Don't get used to it America. Don't get overwhelmed. It's a coup. Act accordingly.

Elon Musk received $38 billion in government contracts, loans, & tax credits. Your tax money built his wealth. #OpCanary #3E #EndOligarchy

If you think that Europe is doomed, you’re not paying attention. Wrote a recap of the latest developments and call me a hopeless Europtimist but I think Europe+ (including Canada) isn’t doing too bad in terms of offering Ukraine an actual perspective for the future. With or without the US.

Today was my last day as a Lecturer in Health Data Science at Lancaster University, and my last day in academia. I've been exceptionally lucky to work with a wonderful group of people in the Centre for Health Information, Computing, and Statistics... 🧵1/3 #RStats #DataViz #DataScience #CareerChange

2019: Trump with the Mexican president and the Canadian prime minister sign the USMCA trade deal 2019. He brags on Twitter about how great this agreement is. 2025: Trump imposes tariffs on Canada and Mexico, citing years of abuse. Adds "How stupid do you have to be to make a deal like that?"

This is a stunning piece on one of the human costs of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Football as mirror - and salvation. By @tomhamiltonespn.bsky.social www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Americans must understand what the Reichstag Fire was. In 1933, the Nazis used arson at Germany's parliament as a pretext to seize dictatorial power. Americans must beware of something similar – real or invented – happening here. Seem farfetched? Not when Trump is dismantling democracy as we speak.

Even if Trump donated Bradleys to russia, some self-proclaimed pro-Ukraine people would still make excuses for him. You simply can't be both pro-Trump and pro-Ukraine

Reminder: Ukraine's situation was far more challenging three years ago than it is today, and russia is now much further from achieving its strategic goals than it was back then. Don’t fall for the propaganda being pushed from various sides

The AfD wanted and expected better results than this. They must have. This is not a euphoric, cathartic breakthrough, welcoming in a new dawn of ultra-racist chaos. The thing about exit polls is that you can’t fake your reaction to them and my initial reaction was “phew, I’ll take that”.

"Ukrainian propaganda works as if they have been holding back the onslaught of our troops for three years already. Hey! Utter propagandists! It's only been 12 hours!!" February 24, 2022 : A Russian propagandist realizes already that Ukraine will not be defeated. We are 3 years later and standing

Trump’s mineral deal is meaningless now that it's clear he’s willing to collaborate with russia in the occupied territories

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland to provide Ukraine with more Starlink terminals. An additional 5,000 terminals have already been ordered, — Polish Minister of Digitalization ❗️By the end of 2024, Poland had transferred 24,400 Starlink terminals to Ukraine.

FLASHBACK. February 24, 2022 (Kyiv time). Zaluzhny made this first post updating the public on the Russian invasion.

FLASHBACK. February 24, 2022. Russians were already declaring victory within the first hours.. Here is one delusional Russian.

The more you know…

🇪🇺🧐 EU is spending more money on Russian fossil fuels than on financial aid to Ukraine, - The Guardian ❗️EU bought €21.9bn of Russian oil and gas in the third year of the war, despite the efforts under way to kick the continent’s addiction to the fuels that fund Putin’s war chest.

I have rarely seen such coordinated diplomacy by Macron, who once tended towards pesky unilateralism. Before his Trump meeting today in Washington, he has met or spoken to 30 European leaders (from Starmer to Orban) and allies (Trudeau), and has spoken to Zelensky four time in the past week alone

1/ The third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a time for mourning, Russian nationalists say – not because of the destruction and huge loss of life, but because the war has failed to 'heal and awaken Russia' from its "thirty-year bad dream" since the USSR fell. ⬇️

A month ago, the idea that the new German chancellor would talk about "independence from the US" would have been unbelievable

US President Donald Trump is acting like he holds all the cards in talks to end the war in Ukraine. But Brussels has a €200 billion secret weapon up its sleeve.

These people claim to be christians

Sent Olaf Scholz link for an open application with Gazprom. Least I can do for all the escalation management.

BREAKING: As predicted:

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce Russia’s main narratives and explain how they are being spread online by Russian operatives and MAGA Republicans. After three years of war, Russia still relies on old narratives, now amplified by the Trump administration. 1/25

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years. The only way Putin wins now—the only way he finally succeeds in destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty—is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to abandon Ukraine. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Trump has quickly turned the US into an enemy of the West, democracy and freedom in favor of predatory autocracy. The US is now an enemy of Ukraine and a friend of Russia & China.

Dear Europe, Trump completely melts under pushback. So push back.

Over the 3 years of the full-scale war, Russia has attacked the following in Kharkiv: 🔴8239 residential buildings 🔴132 schools 🔴114 kindergartens 🔴129 universities 🔴89 medical facilities 🔴15 cultural institutions 🔴23 administrative buildings 🔴2344 infrastructure and commercial properties
