Feeling very sad today on the 3 year anniversary of the Ukraine invasion. Particularly thinking of our sponsored family who are still separated and had only expected to be here for 6 months when they arrived in May 22 😢😢💔

Anyone got experience of having Botox injections for migraines? Did they help? Quite expensive but I’m feeling desperate. Any advice on this appreciated #migraines #chronicillness

Not seeing posts from my main friends on here unless I search them manually and individually. Anyone know how to highlight these in a group or something as I’ve missed some important stuff lately snd got a load of American stuff mainly instead?

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.”

He was not afraid when a 64-kilometre-long military convoy was moving toward Kyiv, when the Russians were advancing tens of kilometres a day, and when there was no help from the West or other countries. Naive fools think that he will be afraid now.

Zelensky was willing to sacrifice himself to save his country. Trump sacrificed his country to save himself.

Lewis nailing it, here. Such good writing. Headline made me think of the Maya Angelou line: “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

My heart breaks, once again, for Ukraine. What a betrayal after all their courage, strength and loss. Our refugee family have put their lives on hold to live apart for 3 years now to keep their kids safe here. The father has risked his life driving for Medicins San Frontiers. Fuck Trump!
