Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

Criticising Trump was deemed to be a terrorist act in the USA last week. Reform is now trying the same approach here, accusing Starmer of inciting terrorism for criticising Farage. In both cases, the direction of travel is towards full-on fascism. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10...

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

Spotted this great quote recently and your remark makes me think about that. It’s about what kind of standards are we prepared to uphold or give sway to, and the social and historical consequences that come from that. Facts and truth, right vs wrong; they’re pinnacles of social justice + democracy.
