I love many things about the land of my birth but Donald Trump’s America has become an unwelcoming country of deep divisions and waning trust

They've had 90 days to think about it, and all we got was the same old tariffs +/- a couple of random percentage points, a new insurrectionist support tax levied on Americans to show our allyship with Brazilian criminals, and yet another attempt to bully the extremely polite Canadians.

The Russians think that terror against the #Ukrainian civilian population is their best trump card before the so-called 'negotiations.'

Did Putin mention this when he talked about how much he wants peace?

Or does Russia still look like an interesting and reliable 'economic partner' to anyone?

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

I heard a rumor that Research Ireland will be offering funding for prof positions in Ireland with the specific goal of attracting US scientists. Keep your eyes peeled as I’m also told that if it happens the call will be short (~1 month from ad to due date). Astronomers take notice! 🔭 #astronomy

Russia keeps bombing families and children. Is Russia serious about peace, Marco?
The United States will know in a matter of weeks if Russia is serious about peace with Ukraine, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said, after European allies accused Russia of stalling over the Trump administration's call for a ceasefire

Tragic and inhumane images coming out from Kryvyi Rih.

Another reckless Russian attack struck a crowded residential area, reportedly killing at least 14, including 6 children.

Russia continues to destroy Ukraine, no interest in peace.

Russia's daily strikes on peaceful Ukrainian cities are pure terror.
These strikes have no military objectives whatsoever.

Killing children on a playground is a war crime and terrorism on the part of Russia; it cannot be seen in any other way.

Putin is an international criminal and a terrorist⤵️

The damage to the US arms industry has been done by DonOLD and it will intensify. The USA is not trustworthy, but that should be a given given the many years of cooperation in the arms industry. Trump has destroyed everything.
