🚨🚨I tried to avoid swearing here but the only that comes to mind here is what a fucking #traitor and coward #Trump is again and again. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/us-d...

Very silly

I'm not a believer in the Great Man Theory of History, but there's a certain credibility to the Fucking Idiot Theory of History. And a Fucking Idiot may well just have got us all into World War Three. 6/6

Three US Treasury actions in 12 days. 14 Russia sanctions targets removed. Zero press releases, zero explanations. Among those cleared: a Turkish network Treasury said served Russian intelligence, and a UAE firm that shipped fuses to Russia. Sanctioned loudly. Removed in silence.

The Trump administration alignment with Russia is not primarily about China - at least, not for Trump and probably not for those close to him. If it were, then Trump would have been saying so for all the many years he's been focused on "getting along with Russia".🧵 www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Like @perevaa.bsky.social's idea for NATO help Donald in Iran symmetrical to his Ukraine policy. NATO won't donate anything but can sell mine clearing equipment to USA, while also gradually lifting sanctions on Iran.

If it’s anything like the Board (Bored) of Peace it’ll be the Navies from like Guatemala, Hungary, and the landlocked Central Asian nations. “We got twenty row boats and the Olympic crews from Uzbekistan! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Brilliant and hilarious video about enshittification from the Norwegian Consumer Council youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ

"Ukraine has given more military aid to the USA in 2026 than the USA has given to Ukraine." Americans should hang their heads in shame.

I think about this quote from All The Presidents Men constantly- “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand”.

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

The security of other NATO states and European partners like Ukraine and Moldova cannot rely on continued alliance with a US whose leadership consistently put Russia first, even in relation to US interests. No amount of European diplomacy is going to change that.

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Just days ago, Trump and the U.S. administration asked Ukraine to help intercept Iranian drones and defend U.S. bases with weapons developed through Ukrainian blood and battlefield experience. And now Trump has allowed those who are killing Ukrainians to rebuild their cash reserves.

Let this sink in. Four years ago, the US expected Ukraine to fall within days and even withheld military aid because they thought it’d be wasted. Today, the US — the most powerful nation on earth — is asking Ukraine for military aid. Never underestimate Ukraine. Arm them to win.

With billions in new funding, ICE is buying the most powerful surveillance gear on earth to spy on civilians. In our latest video, we expose the scariest ways that ICE are spying on people, and break down how the tech actually works... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1K7yLWs2DM

Very moving and powerful. Thank you so much for making it available

I recently discovered something that has markedly improved my experience of daily life: if you Google something and add “-ai” after the search term, it gives you search results without the AI overview

USA refuses to support Ukraine’s territorial integrity and a lasting peace on anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion khpg.org/en/1608815553

⚡️US abstains from UN vote on 'lasting peace in Ukraine' on 4th anniversary of war. "Is not missing children, shelling of cities, and the killing of innocents enough? It is not a business deal — it is war," former Special Envoy Keith Kellogg said after the U.S. declined to support the resolution.

Putin has failed in Ukraine, thanks to the incredible bravery and resilience of Ukrainians. He is currently winning in the US. Whether he succeeds in the rest of Europe is up to us.

Today, people are rightly focusing on Ukraine. But it’s also worth taking a moment to think about the monumental stupidity and failure of Putin and his subordinates, who started the longest, most destructive European war since WW2 even though there was no threat to Russia. 🧵

The U.S. administration did not send a single representative to the official commemoration events marking the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, nor did it issue a single word through its embassy in Kyiv -- not even a standard diplomatic boilerplate.

I wrote for @ukandeu.bsky.social on the end of the US-Europe alliance.

Denmark is returning the favor and sending two hospital ships to America.

Rubio, by contrast, wrapped a similar message in the fading language of American courtesy, which may have offered EU elites a mesmerising glimmer of nostalgic self-delusion. 4/4

Good piece. The idea that Rubio is the 'reasonable one' and Vance is the thug is rather like thinking that the interrogator who offers sympathy and a cigarette is your ally against the knuckle-cracking sadist.

There is no greater sign of the "decline" of the west than the reality that a large percentage of the US population listened to and selected Donald Trump to lead them.

No words left to say.

A country with a literal “Revolution of Dignity” will not back down when it comes to commemorating innocent people killed in war - and they do not accept false equivalencies or regulations about expression

💬 Ukraine's Vladyslav Heraskevych on the disqualification over the memorial helmet: "I have no regrets... There are things more important than medals."

Mykhailo Heraskevych, you raised an incredible son. His act made the whole world talk about Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia. We are all incredibly proud of Vladyslav!

⚡ Ukraine's Vladyslav Heraskevych on his disqualification over memorial helmet: "We paid the price for our dignity. I defended Ukraine's interests and the memory of the athletes. Games."

Oh, here comes another wave of insanity. Ukraine is now supposed to surrender in a war it has not lost and willingly ensure its own destruction by Russia because Trump needs to avert a midterm disaster.

From the start, the focus of the Trump administration's approach to Ukraine has been on US enrichment, friendly relations with Russia, and getting everyone else to treat Russia like a great power. The survival of Ukraine and European security are entirely irrelevant.

You know, it actually seems entirely plausible that the Kremlin’s con artist in chief Kirill Dmitriev is really waving a $12 trillion plan of “commercial opportunities” in front of Trump’s and Witkoff’s noses. (That goes in exchange for betraying Ukraine, of course).

⚡ President Zelenskyy says there's a rumored $12T US–Russia pact. He says the draft “Dmitriev package,” cited by Ukrainian intelligence, may implicate Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.

Top 8 stories on Guardian are on the Epstein files, and Trump is not mentioned on the front page once (though is in pic). This is what happens when you control which documents are disclosed and which are not.

Camps, where detainees can be concentrated.

The general sense of the news reports from the United States is that the federal government has realised it has gone too far too soon in being filmed freely killing civilians in the streets. Public opinion is just not ready for that yet.
