Now that is responsible journalism. Chances are 100% of what Trump says are lies anyway.
To make Russia regret its actions, I would add these donations to Ukraine: - 100 Taurus - 4000 HX-2 - 400 Vectors - 200 IRIS-T - 50 PAC-2 - some extra funding for Ukrainian drones and missiles
The Lake Ontario name change is insanely unpopular: just 14 percent support it. By point of comparison, 14 percent of Americans also believe that the moon landing was fake.
Germany has named us responsible for the Leipzig attack. What will their response be: 1. Concern 2. Deep concern 3. Grave concern 4. We must not escalate

This is absolutely true and finishes the false discussion and guilt trip about NATO expansion and Ukraine.
Lord Admiral von Tired 🇪🇺🇺🇳🕊️@lordtired.bsky.social · 3d agoYes, up to you, dear Putin, took power, Russia was actively considering maybe joining NATO. The "Russia was promised no expansion" is a complete fabrication with no basis in reality.

It’s always amazing to see porpoises doing things strictly for fun or out of curiosity. Lots of animals play, but this feels different. It’s a different level of creativity.
Big hit on Russia’s LARGEST drone hub in Tsimbulovo, Oryol region. A Geran-5 launcher, Geran-4 and a UAV storage site were struck. 3rd pic shows just how massive the base is.

Another day of war crimes by Russia in Ukraine. And Russia wil not stop unless stopped by us.
Anton Gerashchenko@antongerashchenko.bsky.social · 7d agoEarly this morning in Kherson’s Korabelnyi district, Russians killed a man riding a bicycle by attacking him with a drone. Over the past 24 hours, 18 people, including a child, were injured by Russian attacks across the region. Critical and social infrastructure and residential areas were targeted.
“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com
Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint
If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

Preserving the past, fighting erasure
How can the past be preserved when a regime seeks to suppress it? How do we remember collectively against all odds, and why does that matter?

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
