Zelenskyy's country is being bombed and millions have had to flee but Trump-Vance thinks he should be more thankful and kowtow.

Just like Palestinians should have been grateful for Trump's plans to displace and ethnically cleanse 2.2 million people from Gaza.

This is what dictatorship looks like.

Seen or experienced a collision or near miss!? 😳🚨

Don’t forget you can log it on CollisionTracker.ie

It takes only a few mins but it’s really good at showing up high risk locations, in the absence of official action.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Such an important programme with @katiehannon.bsky.social highlighting the epidemic of domestic abuse, coercive control & the horrific murders of women in Ireland. On #NollaignamBan particularly poignant. How do we change this problem? Education/policy? @upfrontrte.bsky.social
