As Ukraine was hit again by Russian aggression killing many, thoughts for those families, friends, co-workers injured or killed Rescue and emergency workers go out to help: chapeau As @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social reports-Trump plays an evil role by a) not telling Putin off b) not supporting Ukraine

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 15h ago

The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.

The Home Office is allowing the status and rights of EU citizens and their family members to fall off a cliff - with no decision, no proportionality assessment and no right of appeal, by claiming that status under the EU Settlement Scheme was "granted in error". the3million.org.uk/contact-us

Another often overlooked element to the Trump admin’s reliance on non-binding agreements is the absence of norms. The underlying oughts and best practices are absent, leaving the deal to be measured by transactional, fleeting gains that ebb and flow without consequence.
