If Elon Musk, the richest man alive, really believes "money won't matter" in 2036, he'd support a 5% tax on his wealth & the wealth of other billionaires to make sure all Americans have a decent standard of living.

The fact that he doesn’t tells you everything you need to know.

Tehran’s 'massacre' of demonstrators in January changed Reza Pahlavi’s mind on foreign military intervention in Iran, he told Reuters. Now, he says, intervention can ‘protect more lives from being lost under this regime that is demonstrating that it has no limit in terms of how far it's willing to go to kill its own citizenry’ https://t.co/9RgmRNo5R8

Every year at this time, we in Ukraine honor the memory of our people who were killed in Russian captivity. On the night of July 28–29, the Russians massacred our people in Olenivka – brutally, callously, with absolute cynicism. More than 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed, and over 100 were wounded. This is one of those war crimes that shows what Russia truly is. It is a state that completely disregards human life, an absolute evil that cannot refrain from killing.

We must always remember who we are dealing with. We must bring all our people home from Russian captivity – military personnel and civilians. It is important that Ukraine is not alone in this effort and that our friends around the world are helping us through their mediation. Since the start of the full-scale war, we have already succeeded in bringing 9,613 people home from Russian captivity. We remember every one of those who remain in captivity.

We will not forget a single crime committed against our people. Eternal memory to all those who lost their lives because of Russian evil. Eternal gratitude to everyone who is helping free our people and protect lives.
