A year ago, on April 15, 2024, Pavlo Petrychenko - Euromaidan activist, organizer of the “Who Ordered Katya Handziuk?” campaign, and junior sergeant of the 59th Brigade - was killed in Donetsk the day before his 32nd birthday.

Putin's war machine runs on oil exports, which fuel his economy. The goal of the EU must be to disrupt this money machine. The EU has all the means to do this. It can sanction - even without the US - shadow fleet oil tankers in the Baltic. That will push down Urals oil price and hurt Russia...

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.
This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

Reliable European countries should set up a defence fund using frozen Russian assets and to which each would contribute a percentage of their GDP. NATO-like command could use these funds to buy compatible military hardware, large volumes of ammunition and Cutting edge logistics.

Reliable European countries need (1) to form a military command centre either within or alongside NATO. (2) put their economies on a “preparation for war” footing and (3) contribute to a central fund that allows the few European countries with military capabilities to buy compatible equipment etc

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

"Lord Sugar said recently the biggest mistake in his lifetime was Brexit and that if he were prime minister, he’d crawl on his hands and knees, begging to be let back in. I’d go with him. Even though after 2 hours in a lorry park in Kent, I fear our knees might be quite sore."

Totally agree with @robertshrimsley.bsky.social here - as long as 'constant signalling' isn't, as it was all too often for Johnson and frequently is for Trump', largely performative rather than the savvy communication of something more substantive. (Source: www.ft.com/content/6b68...)

We are hearing that Andy Singleton, director of a new and promising Alzheimer's research center at NIH, just announced his resignation.
This will disrupt innovative new Alzheimer's work to go beyond the "amyloid hypothesis." Bad news for anyone who's been touched by this disease. 🧪

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Mr Trump is certain to over-reach. So sad current right-wingers don’t campaign or govern without telling such easily verifiable lies. The voters seem ready to move to the right but they need honest, uncorrupted leaders if their electorate is to stay with them. Snatched victories are unsustainable.
