“I thank the people and government of the United Kingdom for their tremendous support from the very beginning of this war” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

'This is a once in a generation moment for the security of Europe' Sitting next to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron, Sir Keir Starmer kicks off the Ukraine War summit in London

Something beautiful to wear with pride in support of Ukraine 🇺🇦 greatscotscotland.com/collections/...

Looking beautiful Time Square. 🇺🇦

BREAKING: “They have been invaded by Russia. This is Russian aggression and the quickest way to end this conflict is Russia to stop the aggression and we need to be really clear about that” Prime Minister Keir Starmer 👏

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Edwardian embroidered Scottish Suffragette belt (c.1908-1909) in the colours green, white and violet- thought to be inspired by the first letters of the phrase ''Give Women the Vote' #womensart

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Thank you @theguardian.com for including me in this panel reflecting on how, 5 years on, the pandemic changed has our world: @profdevisridhar.bsky.social Stephen Reicher @rafaelbehr.bsky.social @francesryan.bsky.social @samirashackle.bsky.social & more www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ukraine: Some disparate thoughts on a horrifying day... This is basically a scream of hatred and anguish, which gradually develops into something marginally more positive. I'm going to have a drink. It's not too early. iandunt.substack.com/p/some-dispa...

This weeks cover from @theneweuropean.bsky.social was spot on as always

Starmer: "You are very, very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers on the street outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom. We will stand with you and Ukraine for as long as it may take." Proud to be British tonight. #SlavaUkrainii 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Prime Minister Keir Starmer 👏

Kristrún Mjöll Frostadóttir Prime Minister of Iceland 👏

Zelenskyy knows what it is to fight for something bigger than yourself. Trump does not.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada 👏

Every single one of the Trump supporters sounds like a domestic abuser. "You should've let him hit you, you shouldn't have complained in public, you're never grateful, you never say thank you."

What we learned yesterday: nothing we didn’t know, if we were paying attention. What we’ll learn this weekend: whether European leaders have been paying attention. (A 🧵) /1

💯 this, well said Fionna.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺

Slava Ukraini.

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday Sing your own song. Paint your own masterpiece. Write your own story. All of it, as only you can Be you Always

Little Kate has been with us for 2 weeks now. She is very slowly and gently coming out of her shell. Her fur is growing back as he skin and blood issues clear up also. You can see her starting to enjoy the world in her little eyes 😍

Despite the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in the wider world, the male Wren is singing & nest-building with renewed vigour this morning. The female Wren is present in the vicinity. #wrens #ukwildlife #birds #nature #spring

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

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Yes

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

A week ago, we launched our campaign to ask Sky’s CEO to stop funding GB News’ hate. In only seven days, over 18,500 of you have emailed her asking for answers. Add your voice here: action.goodlawproject.org/sky-stop-fun...

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Absolutely pure joy ❣️

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Essential reflections.

Many referring to Trump & Vance as alpha males… You sure? The need to appear tough/aggressive in order to feel dominant/feared is a blatant indication of a little boy who never got over his childhood trauma We need a rethink of the term ‘alpha male’ …because to me it means damaged & fragile AF.

A tough week but lots of wins to share. Its a little longer watch but wanted explain about anxiety and mental health also 🙏 youtu.be/WgELC4b4cjY?...

A sign of intellect is the ability to change your mind in the face of new facts. A mark of wisdom is refusing to let the fear of admitting you were wrong stop you from getting it right. The joy of learning something new eventually exceeds the pain of unlearning something old.

Terrific resignation letter by Anneliese Dodds, this.

🧵 1/2 News Flash!!! - a female Wren has just arrived! - such is the excitement of the male that he drops his nesting material and goes the full Romeo... Unfortunately, the sun was so hot it had shifted the lens on the camera, leading to a poor quality clip - them's the breaks... All sorted now.
