Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

This is a brilliant and realistic appraisal by @lewisgoodall.com of the geopolitical switcheroo that Trump has performed in a month, siding with Putin against Ukraine (and the Liberal West in general). To his list of 5 reasons I’d add a 6th: The belief that financial gain justifies any action.

While we're watching the nightmare unfolding in the US, let's not forget @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and others warned about Russian interference in UK politics and Brexit a long, long time ago (and was persecuted for her bravery). Here she is earlier this year in The Guardian. Don't look away.

Morning from Ukraine! I woke up, had a #warcoffee, read the news. Odesa was attacked with drones. A significant part of the city is without electricity, water and heating. russians launched 167 drones at Ukraine since yesterday's 8 pm until the morning. Idiots (no sorry from me). We won't give up.

Yesterday my US colleague told me she bought eggs at the price of $10! Not 12 eggs. Just 6! Insane. 😱

'Winter Night in the Mountains,' was made in 1901 when critics were trying to associate Harald Sohlberg with Impressionism. He dismissed the idea saying he had no interest in capturing ‘half-hour of devotion,' to atmosphere but the vastness and physical presence of the landscape.

We’re focused on feeding our kids. Investing in our schools. Making sure child care is affordable. Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.
