Russia demands more Ukrainian land without a fight, leaving thousands more Ukrainians to be trapped under occupation.

But history turns on different forces:
courage, morale, justice, unity, the will to defend your home.

Ukraine has all of these.
Russia has… geography.

So when someone says the “bigger country” should win, remember:
Maps don’t fight. People do.

🌊✨ Don’t worry about Ukraine taking out Russia’s shadow fleet tankers—it’s the best strategy to dismantle Russia’s war machine and keep our oceans safer. These rusty tankers were just a loophole to dodge sanctions. Now, one more got neutralized in the Black Sea—empty and safe for the environment. 🌐💥

From trusted partner to rogue state, at best, what do we do with the USA?
Americans wake up or you really won't have a country that anyone else will trust. Quiet probably it won't be one you recognise or even want to be a part of.

All weeks deliver under a Labour government. Some weeks, like this one, are outstanding. Protecting workers in the Care sector and a new Strategy for our young people and the launching of GBR. I applaud this government. We need them!

Trumplethinskin creates his own version of reality & then expects us to believe it as if we don't have eyes, ears or functioning brains.

Look at the bullshit being posted about Nigel Farage.

$5m and the shoddy website reporting it were the giveaway.

Reform UK will no doubt allow this to circulate rather than clarifying.

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

Over the last year, Trump has pardoned or commuted the sentences of many wealthy business executives with ties to his regime, businesses, or campaign.

If you’re rich, well-connected, or have something to offer Trump, a presidential pardon is a possibility. The White House is now a pay-to-play.

13 Labour MPs voted in favour of the bill, which was tabled by the Lib Dems.

Nigel Farage did not vote.

“I'm Nobody! Who are you? / Are you — Nobody — Too?” Inimitable American poet Emily Dickinson was born 195 years ago, on December 10, 1830. Of her inimitable craft, Poet Laureate Joy Harjo wrote, “From Emily I learned that the immense silences I found within me were navigable by words and metaphor.”

#OTD in 2011, the Nobel Peace Prize was appropriately awarded to 3 women deserving of the Prize--Tawakkul Karman, Leymah Gbowee & Ellen Johnson Sirleaf--"for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women & for #womensrights to full participation in peace-building work."

Why were women granted the right to #vote in Wyoming Territory #OTD in 1869?

As a recruitment tool.

Lawmakers hoped the news would bring more women--as there were 6 men to every 1 woman in the Territory at the time.

AND

#OTD in 1935, her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie won the Nobel Prize in #Chemistry for the discovery of artificial radioactivity.

They're the only mother–daughter pair to have both won Nobel Prizes. #WomenInSTEM
