Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"
It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Trump whining that Democrats wouldn't applaud him even if he cured a disease and then a second later bragging about withdrawing from the World Health Organization

UN resolution on Ukraine
Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.
The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it.
Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity
I’d love to see him up against Mick Lynch, union leader who was also a Brexiteer!

"That's not the case with Vladimir Putin, who kills his opponents and has been manipulating his elections for a long time"
Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism"
Laura Kuenssberg, "You would use that word?"
Stephen Fry, "Absolutely. It's a cult of power. And power only speaks to power"
Stephen Fry, "Trump is a convicted felon"
"We have to come to a conclusion that the left and right in Britain have far more in common with each other than they do with Trump and the tyrants in the world"
For those who still believe Russian propaganda: #Zelensky had already offered Putin negotiations
On February 25, 2022—just one day after #Russia launched its full-scale invasion—Zelensky publicly called on Putin to negotiate, hoping to stop the bloodshed.
The response? Silence.
An important point to keep in mind.

Nordic-Baltic leaders’ statement on Ukraine (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden.)
"We stand fully and firmly behind Ukraine."
"Our priority now is to strengthen Ukraine."
"We fully commit to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine."
Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.
Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.
Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Doge is auditing NASA today.
This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA.
It’s a massive conflict of interest.

Just finished reading @peterbeinart.bsky.social new book. I feel like buying 50 copies and just handing them out for free at my synagogue. It’s such an important contribution to how Jewish life and self-understanding needs to change. I can’t recommend it more highly.

‘No Other Land’ on Amazon Prime in the UK. It’s a heartbreaking, fury invoking and essential watch. Let’s hope it wins the Oscar.

I think it’s safe to say that the 2-State solution is now officially dead. Tonight has been an extraordinary news conference from the White House. Historic in all the worst ways.

"You were an economist at the BoE?'
"Yes"
"At the same time as Reeves?"
"Yes"
"Can you confirm that she was an economist?"
"Yes"
"How can you be sure?"
"She wrote lots of economics and I read it."
Kemi Badenoch continues to rely on personal attacks on Labour ministers and rarely lands even the lightest blow on Starmer. I do wonder how long Tory voters will tolerate this poor leadership.
