During this time of growing uncertainty, the reality is that despite everything that's being discussed, Ukraine continues to fight, every single hour of the day and requires all the support possible. They defend the freedom of Europe at this very moment in time. That's the only certainty we have.

@bsky.app appreciation post - so glad there's a platform for informing, discussing and researching public matters without strings attached. Glad to re-discover accounts from the 'other' platform and find new inspiring ones. Keep up the great work! Thank you!

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Suppose US intelligence continues sharing intelligence with Ukraine and other 'allies', to what extent can you still trust it? @ronzheimer.bsky.social @carlomasala1.bsky.social

As former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney so eloquently said in a January 6th Committee hearing, “To my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a time when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.”

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

We shouldn't take anything off the table before the negotiations have even started.

It is clear that any deal behind our backs will not work.
You need the Europeans, you need the Ukrainians.

That's the only way forward in these times. Europe, including the UK, needs to stand together and protect Ukraine's sovereignty! Trump cannot and must not negotiate peace without Ukraine and Europe. #slavaukraini
BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Brilliant take by @garymarcus.bsky.social
"The race to AGI will be won not by the country with the most chips but by the one that best fosters true innovation. That could be the US, China, or perhaps some other country less locked into LLM orthodoxy, and more willing to bet big on new ideas."

Hut ab vor den finnischen Behörden, die nach der Zerstörung von Estlink 2 (Estlands Stromanbindung) schnell genug reagiert haben und weiteren Schaden an Estlink 1 und der Gasleitung Balticconnector abgewendet haben.

👀 That's madness. 🥺
A record 146,000 public school students in New York City were homeless last year, data shows. Almost all of those students were living either in shelters across the city or “doubled up” temporarily with friends or family.
