Do you support Volodymyr Zelensky ?

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky!

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

It would’ve been a show of strength for the President of the United States to bring the elected leader of Ukraine to the Oval Office and engage with him in a dignified way.

But you would never know that after President Trump’s shameful display. Putin must be overjoyed with today’s theatrics.

Following the U.S. vote in alignment with Russia at the United Nations this week, a disturbing pattern has emerged that is contrary to America’s longstanding support of democracy around the world.

American Veteran has a word for Trump and Zelensky.

Take two mins…

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

We are Americans.

We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.

Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.

They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.

They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.

A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.

Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

On the 500th day of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, Volodymyr #Zelensky took a boat to #SnakeIsland to honour the military who gave their lives defending this small but strategically important island.

From now on Viktoria will only listen to the sound of silence- she didn’t survive russia’s shelling of Kramatorsk.

“Why”remains a forever soul cry for us. Why do we have to go through all this?

[Gaz @GazSmith_Chef]

We have been let down/ stiffed by what we believe to be a large fake booking for today
They strung us along all week with queries and increased the numbers over n over. It was deliberate and calculated

We spent so much time trying to accommodate them, rebuilding the table plans, ordering in extra food, especially for them, turning away genuine bookings for regulars and locals in the meantime, and then when it came to taking a deposit,
they just tried to bluff it
Only for a bit of intuition would we be left with an empty restaurant and lots of food left over, and a demoralised team
It’s so hard. We try so hard to make our guests happy, only to get shafted
Yes, it’s our fault. We should have got a deposit from the get-go
But they were so convincing they had us focused on menus and allergens etc

It’s so tough to swallow after a long week
Anyway, we let our guard down, not even that we were trying to be hospitable. It’s in our nature

My own belief is that it was somebody in the trade being a snake 🐍 and I’ll get to the bottom of it, but for now, it’s time to try and save the day

It would be great to fill those tables, so if you fancy a nice bit of nosh today, you’ll be doing us a solid
https://t.co/vh6sq3622y
I’ve just released the tables now, and we’ll do a full rejig when we get in

It’s a sickening way to start a Sunday, I couldn’t sleep I was so upset
But we’ll pump on the music and get stuck in
To dickhead bluffer, I’ll get ya ya prick
