Which @elonmusk do you like more?

#StandWithUkraine️ and reflect on the words of English poet John Donne, "No man is an island, entire of itself ... Each man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee." Speak out, support, donate...

A very poignant article about the real and enduring human cost of not having a 'no-fly' zone over Ukraine. Now nearly four weeks of terror and suffering for the Ukrainian people, showing incredible courage and resilience in the face of a brutal onslaught. abc.net.au/news/2022-03-2…
