Kyiv is now into the fourth hour of an air alarm caused by a reconnaissance drone circling endlessly over the city.
I suspect that if this were nighttime - when residents would be inside because of curfew - the drone would have been shot down long ago.
But too many people on streets below now…

The entire world knows we have a president who's mentally ill. When are we as a nation going to start talking about that?
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

This is darkly funny. But part of the problem with Donald Trump is that this is how people have dealt with him for the past 75-plus years.
Long story short (and friends in Europe, please take note):
This approach DOES NOT WORK.

These ridiculously oversized single occupancy pickup trucks should be heavily taxed due to their danger to society, degradation of the road surfaces, and destruction of our livable planet. They are unnecessary and rarely tow, haul, or go off-road. #Trucks #PickupTruck

Where's the money from congestion pricing going anyway?
It's being used to buy new trains, make them run faster and more frequently, renovate old subway platforms and stations, install elevators across the system and more. youtube.com/shorts/uD_wL...

Driving is the most subsidized activity in American life, and it costs us more than most people can recognize. The least drivers can pony up to store their giant vehicles in public space.

Find ways to travel a mile in their shoes or chairs, and listen to them. Amplify their voices in calling for improvements.
