For decades, if not even longer.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

No daylight between the White House and Kremlin. Same lies, same propaganda, same talking points. Trump and his overlord Putin are two fascist peas in a pod.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

“It’s as if we lost the war to US..” He wants to take resources from a country in war. How are we supposed to live? We have children. It’s as if US seeks to deprive us of our economic potential. It would finish us off, the same as America did with Red Indians” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

"Piece Plan"

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

The correct context for this is authoritarianism versus democracy. People need to realize that and choose a side.

Reminder: Your actions today reflect how you would have responded to fascism and communism in the 1930s

As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

Worst. Episode. EVER.

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Dependency on Starlink casually weaponized by US administration. Conclusions for Europe and anyone else in orbit of former US-led alliance should be crystal clear. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

A key lesson that America’s frontline partners quietly learned from how the US treated Ukraine after Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion is that relying on US weapons or tech that can cut-off, limited, or geofenced leaves you captive to “de-escalation” /1 www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Blackmailing a country that was invaded and ravaged by three years of war is pure evil www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

At some point global leaders are going to have to start acknowledging that Trump's America can't be worked with. His Presidency has made neo-Nazis so emboldened that even Bardella is put off. That should be a sign to stop pretending it is business as usual. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Russia doesn't want peace, it wants an empire.

Trump and his administration are a shame to humanity as a whole

Trump’s America is now part of the ‘axis of evil’.

From Estonian newspaper Postimees by Urmas Nemvalts.

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans: “It is of course Putin who is a dictator, and Zelensky was simply elected through free elections.” Trump’s statements, he says, are worrying, and show the president is “not well informed”. “Putin has invaded Ukraine, and not the other way around.” 🇳🇱🇺🇦

🇺🇦 63% of Ukrainians support Zelensky's activities, and 74% consider him a patriot, according to a study by IBIF

If you call Zelensky a dictator, you're insulting the entire Ukrainian people. Ukrainians are literally famous for toppling dictators. This war is happening precisely because they ousted one 11 years ago, and they've been bleeding terribly for it ever since.

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Unfortunately, this is not hyperbole 👇🏼

If this is true, trump can burn in hell. And he can take his oligarch sycophants and maga republicans with him.

Britons tend to say it is more important to support Ukraine than to maintain good relations with the US More important to support Ukraine: 48% More important to maintain good relations with the US: 20% Neither: 14% yougov.co.uk/topics/polit...

No, defending your home and standing up to a dictator is not a “pointless war.”
