Memories of Ukrainian towns Russia destroyed and occupied—@Hromadske shares stories of light, pain, and loss.

Elon Musk killed thousands of Ukrainians by cutting off starlink to protect Russian warships that were deliberately bombing civilians.

🚨Another woman died of injuries in a hospital in Kherson this morning.

💔2 killed
💔10 injured

By Russia human safari in Kherson.

Russian drones hunt public buses, women, kids, dogs. Russian media blames it on Ukrainians.

Watch my report to see how it’s done ⬇️

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Ukraine is fighting for the normal and safe life it deserves, for a just and reliable peace. We want this war to end. But Russia does not, and continues its aerial terror: over the past week, more than 1,050 attack drones, nearly 1,300 aerial bombs, and more than 20 missiles have been launched at Ukraine to destroy cities and kill people.

Those who seek negotiations do not deliberately strike civilians with ballistic missiles. To force Russia to stop its attacks, we need greater collective strength from the world.

Strengthening our air defense, supporting our army, and ensuring effective security guarantees that will make the return of Russian aggression impossible—this is what we must focus on. Justice must prevail. We believe in the power of unity, and we will certainly restore lasting peace.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla There was a car, this one: https://t.co/mOxKx5ZIpw. The Tesla Roadster was largely built on this technology, in a Lotus Elise chassis. Clearly Musk is responsible for making Tesla into what it is today, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t build it from absolute scratch.

@ZoeJardiniere Possible that these apparently contradictory approaches go well together. If Starmer meeting had not happened that way yesterday, the outlook would be far bleaker today.

I've been thinking for a long time whether I should publish this for you. Now it is hard for me to describe this post in words. I will just leave it here to share with you the pain of my country. The war that Russia started.

[Jasmin Mujanović @JasminMuj]

Evidently, the leader of the free world now is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

BREAKING: Removing bike -lanes from busy city streets will increase traffic congestion, according to a government document leaked amid a furious row over urban infrastructure.

The findings undercut claims the dedicated routes contribute to urban gridlock. https://t.co/ukriNqJrEX

[Daractenus @Daractenus]

Anders Breivik, Norwegian terrorist and mass murderer, showed up in court today with the letter Z shaved on his head and a poster with a message of support for Russia.

Just a reminder about what kind of people tend to support Russia.

@BenGoldsmith @ByDonkeys Sometimes being right isn’t actually being right

@NaomiLWood I do allow responses…

[Tom Pakenham @TJ1977CP]

People who claim checks and balances will protect the US from autocratic overreach may be in for a rough few years/eternity

[Tom Pakenham @TJ1977CP]

@NaomiLWood @DaveThroup Read the article he linked, it addresses your point and explains why it is a red herring and therefore does not need mentioning.

[Tom Pakenham @TJ1977CP]

This is worth doing. Best case it’s a waste of time, worst case it’s not.

[Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek]

If you work at a government agency, CDC, FDA, CIA, FBI, NASA, NTSB, NOAA, anywhere, you need to start saving every gig of data you can find. Studies, organizational charts, employee manuals, policies and procedures.

Anything that can be used to recreate your agency from scratch.

Can someone explain to me why a Trump presidency will be better for Palestinians than a Harris one?

[Dave Throup @DaveThroup]

Inevitably there’s considerable interest in what impacts a Valencia type of rainfall event would have on the UK.

[Rupert Read 🌍 🔥 @GreenRupertRead]

Good; but then why is the Govt doing so little to actually address climate impacts?
The Govt has a mission on decarbonising electricity; but has no mission for protecting us against these impacts.
>There needs to be a 6th mission: Of protective climate adaptation.<
RT to agree.

@James_BG So much strongman nonsense floating around, it’s as if people never learn.
