Just in: Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO of Apple. I wish Trump would also step down. Of course, I’m comparing apples to oranges.

"Russia started this war, Russia continues this war, and Russia can end this war today by withdrawing its forces and respecting Ukraine's sovereignty. The responsibility lies fully with the aggressor." - Kaja Kallas Absolutely correct, I couldn't agree more..

Remember, ending air-defense aid to Ukraine is JD Vance's proudest accomplishments as Vice President.

"If our Christianity causes us to defend the president rather than the poor, the powerless, the sick, the hungry, the homeless, and the immigrant, that's when we know we are following someone other than Jesus." Rev. Benjamin Cremer

"There is no grey zone. You are either on the side of freedom or on the side of aggression. If we stop helping Ukraine, it means we are helping Russia." - Kaja Kallas EU diplomat Simple as that..🤷‍♀️

🚨 Donald Trump could become the first U.S. president in history to go to prison. Thumbs up 👍 if you want this to happen.

@widtvoet Get a life!

Meneer Zelensky vindt het "niet slim" om democratische verkiezingen te houden in Oekraine zolang er geen vrede is. Wat hij zegt is dat hij onweersproken aan de macht blijft voorlopig. #buitenhof #zelensky #buitenhof

@HandigeHendrik Think about all those innocent people being blown up by Russia on the street or even in their beds every day! Orc

Oekraïne blaast onze Nordstream op, Zelensky wist er van, geeft de Russen de schuld, en krijgt later een vrijheidsprijs waarbij onze koning en premier Rob Jatten staan te applaudiseren. Think about that.

@RickSanchezTV Did you speak to real people on the street?

If Lukashenko is a dictator, I’m the QUEEN OF ENGLAND. I just sat down with Lukashenko for a two-hour, unscripted conversation with no pre-approved questions. I’ve worked at NBC, CNN, Univision, Fox News, and now at RT, where, despite its flaws, I have more journalistic independence than I ever had.

Jens Stoltenberg went on Fox News this week. It did not go the way Trump would have liked. The former NATO Secretary General, now Norway’s Finance Minister, was asked about Trump’s threats to pull the United States out of the alliance. He answered with the kind of calm, precise demolition that only a Norwegian diplomat can deliver without raising his voice once. On why Europe didn’t join the war: “NATO is a defensive alliance. The strikes or the war against Iran were never an attempt to make that into a NATO operation.” On whether Europe disagrees with America about Iran: “We all agree the Iranian nuclear program is dangerous. The question is how we achieve that goal.” Translation: the problem was never the destination. It was the lunatic who decided to get there by setting the car on fire. On what Trump should have done before launching: “If you want NATO to contribute, then at least you have to sit down with NATO allies, as you did after 9/11. You cannot expect us just to be there without any consultations, any discussions in NATO before you take the decision to launch the attack.” This is Stoltenberg saying, in the most polished terms imaginable, that you do not start a war at two in the morning on Truth Social and then ring your allies for help at breakfast. On whether Europe abandoned America: “The majority of European allies have made sure that their bases and infrastructure were available for the United States. There are some exceptions, but most have contributed.” Most helped. Quietly. Without being asked to endorse a war they considered illegal. On why leaving NATO would be catastrophic for America specifically: “The United States is 25 per cent of the global economy. But together with NATO allies, we are 50 per cent of the global economy and 50 per cent of the world’s military might. So it makes the United States safer to have friends and allies — something that Russia and China don’t have at all.” And then, in a separate interview, the warning nobody in Washington wants to hear: “It’s not a natural law that we will have NATO forever. It’s not carved in stone that NATO will exist for the next ten years.” That last line was not a threat. It was a diagnosis. Trump called NATO a Paper Tiger. Stoltenberg replied, with characteristic Norwegian understatement, that paper tigers tend to be considerably less useful once you’ve set them on fire yourself. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Peacemaker Trump says the US is ready to help “them” (?) with Cuba, because people being brutally treated and their families killed. How about helping with Russia? Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, including children, have been tortured, killed, and displaced. Children have been abducted and taken to filtration camps for forced re-education. Cities have been leveled, civilians deliberately targeted, and critical infrastructure destroyed. And yet, when it comes to Ukraine, the message is: pressure them to surrender, give up their land, threaten them, and cut support.

Russian media and MAGA accounts are spreading false claims that Sweden’s king, during a state visit to Ukraine, refused to shake hands with Zelenskyy. This is, of course, not true, as the Swedish Royal Court stands firmly behind Ukraine’s struggle for freedom, just as the Swedish people do. Support for Ukraine in Sweden is overwhelmingly strong.

@BryceMLipscomb Brainwashed orc

Russia is not our enemy.

Maybe everyone should do this, use my text and send on all socials to… @WorldAquatics

@RepJackKimble …don’t forget that he started the war!

This is the biggest military victory since we stopped the Vietnamese from invading the United States back in the 1970s!! Thank you, President Trump.

@HHepplewhite @DakdaR22 Times change. People change but Russian hasn’t.

@DakdaR22 We fought ww2 alongside them. If it weren’t for them things would be different. They were never the enemy. Only brainwashed fools being told by globalist tyrants they are the enemy because they don’t have the capacity to THINK believe they are. So well done 👍🏻

Russia is not my enemy 🙏🏻

It’s really good news, this - and I’m also encouraged by the positive reaction from Europe (below is just one example). Maybe we’ve turned the corner and can finally begin to put the last decade behind us.

Every day, I write the same story: Russian strikes claiming lives. One person here, five there, a child, a grandparent... These tragedies have become so routine that the world is growing numb. ​Even as I try to share what’s happening in Kharkiv, I have to fight the algorithms. I have to get creative with my phrasing because the app flags "explosions in Kharkiv" as spam because of how often i post this same thing. ​Don't let our reality become background noise or a "show" you've grown tired of. Please help us amplify the truth. Every life taken was important and irreplaceable. These are not just statistics; they are unspeakable crimes.
