Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"
It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Saw a video where a woman in her early 20s was talking about an item that was popular in the 90s and described it as “Something people wore in the last century.” Now, while technically I know she’s correct, I still feel the need to go and have a lie down in a dark, quiet room for a bit.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved my village more than I did yesterday. The hills sparkled with bright snow, the mists curled lazily below, and the church stood half-hidden in trees crafted from diamonds. I could have stayed all day in this spot, listening to the bell ringing out through the valley.
