Sumy is tonight being hit by Russian ballistic missiles again - a day after Putin’s Palm Sunday massacre killed 34 locals, including 2 children in the city. Every day Trump attacks Zelensky & is silent on Putin, it emboldens the terrorist. This is Russian genocide, now enabled by Trump.

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

Trump is refusing to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US despite a Supreme Court ruling ordering him to do so. This is a constitutional crisis. How can it not meet the threshold for articles of impeachment?

Women aren't responsible for male violence. Male on male violence is neither women's fault, nor is it their problem to solve. It should be that simple, but plainly somehow it's not, and blaming women has become normalised.

In Finland, the radical right's vote has halved in the latest municipal elections. We can in the UK can knock the wheels off Farage's bandwagon by getting off our sofas and voting in the local elections. In low turnout elections, the act of voting can make a big difference. #Vote4Democracy

Trump full-on accusing Zelensky of starting the war Russia launched against Ukraine in 2014, before Zelensky was even president, and escalated in 2022 with it unprovoked, full-blown invasion. Not a single criticism toward Putin, a day after the deadliest single attack of the war by Russia this year.
