Putin’s plan is don’t let too many people return home from the front.😳Problem solved. Also, Russia won’t win the war, but I curse my own country, the U.S., for not helping Ukraine put an end to this barbarity. Our shame should be everlasting. 💔

What an absolutely pathetic traitor. Real scum
Trump on Ukraine:
Russia wants to make a deal and Zelensky is going to have to get moving.
Otherwise he is going to miss a great opportunity, he has to move.

Greetings from Kyiv.
Having a warcoffee now.
The café in the mall is packed today,
and many people are at the skating rink.
It’s much better than sitting in dark, often cold apartments.
Kyiv won’t surrender. I see it in our eyes.

70 years ago today I saw @celticfc.bsky.social for the first time. As an 11-year-old I was allowed to walk down to Cappielow with my friend, the late Danny Maloney, to see Celtic defeat Morton 2-0 in the Scottish Cup. Managed to get my photo in the local newspaper at the time.

Europe must force through strategic autonomy and massively increase aid to Ukraine. It’s existential.
We cannot rely on Russia or China who are waging war on us. We cannot depend on the US either.
We must finally be able to stand alone

Impressed with @ryanairofficial.bsky.social process for changing a flight. Had to return from Canaries a week early. App allowed me to change for a fee of €45. Fare was the same so no additional payment. Had to reserve seats but credited with sum already paid. Baggage details xferred automatically

@FIFAWorldCup Everyone appears to be criticising Gianni Infantino. Maybe he is actually a hero. Perhaps he decided he had to make a total fool of himself in the eyes of the world to ensure that Donald Trump doesn't mess up the World Cup.

Do you remember in primary school when the teacher was sticking gold stars in copy books and one would be given to the child who wasn't too bright but needed a confidence boost. FIFA just did that for Trump.

Great article re: the value of fare free buses. Ridership in Iowa City "surpassed pre-pandemic levels by 18 percent." By combining fare free with frequent, all-day service in high density areas @dashbusva.bsky.social ridership was 40% higher in 2024 than in 2019!

“The Constitution is not adequate to deal with a President as evil as Trump—somebody whose desire is to accumulate and abuse power. Trump’s abuses of power are unprecedented.”

Anastasiia Hrytsiv and her family were killed by the Russian strike on Lviv region last night.
Anastasiia's school wrote about her death.
She had her life ahead of her, but Russia's damned war against Ukraine took the lives of the whole family.
Deepest condolences...

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting.

It’s time Republicans came on board.
