This is from a sci-fi show but the message is oh so real and oh so needed down on Earth, here and now. @jacindaardern.bsky.social talks about A Different Kind Of Power, of pragmatism, of kindness, of empathy, and the different strength those bring to politics. This is just it in another form.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

The leaders of France, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Norway, Ireland and Spain have all tweeted support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine over Trump.
Putin thought he could divide Europe, and a victory for Trump would weaken the west.
Wrong on both counts.

Trump wants to be an autocrat like Vladimir Putin—and that starts with collecting cowardly oligarchs who pay you to be kind to them. He has that.
Now he's moved on to trying to create vassal states like Russia has Belarus. He wants Ukraine to be a vassal state and is enraged that Zelenskyy refuses.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.
They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
