The Trump/Vance bullying of Zelenskyj in the White House last year was an all time low of international diplomacy.
Reminded me of Freisler at the Volksgerichtshof.

If someone is bombing your cities and burying your children under rubble and taking your journalists captive, tying them to boards and torturing them with electric shocks day after day you might not have warm feelings towards that person. . .
President Trump:
There's tremendous hatred between Zelenskyy and Putin. It's a shame, but it's taken longer than we thought.
I did call up President Putin, and he's agreed, and he's put it out, too. I asked him if he wouldn't shoot for a period of one week.

Katherina Reiches Indikatoren-Kahlschlag, mitgetragen von der SPD! Der neue Jahreswirtschaftsbericht 2026 streicht über 30 Indikatoren zu Lebensqualität, sozialer Teilhabe, Ungleichheit & ökologischen Grenzen. Ein schlimmerer Rückschritt. Wohlstand und Wohlergehen sind mehr als das BIP messen kann!

Did you know how much of the power generation capacity added each year world-wide was in renewables?
2022 it was 80 %
2023 it was 86 %
2024 it was 92,5 %
Not because the whole world suddenly turned „woke“, but because it’s the cheapest!

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."
