Time for another Truth Matters Musical moment. This one needs no words from me.
The creativity that emerges from tyranny remains an inspiration, while being absolutely spot on when it comes to truth telling.

ZELENSKYY: War will stop if Russia decides to stop. I understand what Russians and Americans discussed in Anchorage. Putin's lying to Trump. It's a mistake to negotiate about Ukraine without Ukraine, especially for U.S. We're ready to stop the war, but won't leave our territory.
"Russia is trying to get those territories they haven't been able to conquer militarily in 12 years around the negotiation table. It's the Russian playbook of negotiations: they are demanding something that has never been theirs.This is trap we should not fall into."

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.
2014 happened and the world went back to normal. Then 2022 happened and now the russians are getting invited back to the Oscars, Opera, Olympics and this week, the Venice Biennale. Dictators use sport & art to legitimise their crimes. It’s how they survive.
Today the Venice Biennale opens and Russia has spent millions parading their “culture” at a shiny pavilion.
In reality, they bombed over 2,600 hospitals, maternity wards, and schools since 2022.
That’s Russian culture.
Until every Ukrainian is free and safe to play or perform, Russia has no place in cultural or sporting events.
Speech from Volt MEP, Reinier van Lanschot:
I confronted the russian ambassador at Venice Biennale because no one else did.
In the last 24 hours russia bombed city centres & a kindergarten. Dozens murdered in the streets.
The russian pavilion here is filled with free champagne & art to whitewash their war crimes.
I’m Nikopol, a city in Ukraine where the Russians are intensifying their attacks on civilians. The situation is getting worse every day. While the Kremlin tries to sanitise its image this week at Venice Biennale, It’s vital people see the war crimes they are committing
🇺🇦 Bravo! Zelensky just dropped a cold warning straight to the American people:
“I want American people to understand: we are your allies in Europe.
World has no distance anymore — when drones already strike thousands of kilometers.
One, two, three years — drones will strike ten, twenty thousand kilometers. With reactive engines, they will be very cheap. There will be swarms of these drones.
You can’t defend that by yourself. The world has to help countries defend themselves and push the aggressor back.
That’s why, i think, Americans need us, and we need the United States.”
Who’s listening?
It’s never been more clear that Donald Trump has completely lost his mind.
It’s our responsibility to call on Congress, the military, and any sane individual in this administration to stop him from committing war crimes against the Iranian people.
💥🧨 French Senator Claude Malhuret DESTROYS the ENTIRE Trump administration over Iran, corruption and incompetence ! We NEED more leaders like him ! Watch and share 👇
#BREAKING: Lawrence opener 03/16: "Donald Trump has never been able to convincingly express sympathy or sorrow for anyone other than himself. That is the mark of a sociopath of course...but the laziest and most mentally vacant president in history...no longer has the energy or the concentration to be able to continue to pretend that he feels sorry for even the members of the American military killed in service in his war..."😳
U2 has released a new track, Yours Eternally, recorded in collaboration with Ed Sheeran and the Ukrainian band Antytila.
Do you like the song?
"Yours Eternally is written in the form of a letter from a soldier on active duty with a bold, mischievous spirit to match Ukraine's," the band said in a statement. The Ukrainian Defenders of the 13th Khartiia Brigade, as well as civilians, appeared in the lyrics video.
