Welcome home 🙂
How I feel today! Cats know how to cope with stress!
Putin is most definitely, without any shadow of a doubt, a war criminal. Russia IS a terrorist state and Marco Rubio is a turd.

We hate Trump in this house. Basil says I will chew a big hole in his fat ankles.
I like mud! ( Mr G aged around 28- he’s been there and done it all) Main Bastard for the U.K.!

Colin planning to bite Putin and Trump’s heads off.🤬🤬😡
My precious feral rescue boy in the lap of luxury. His name is Colin.💜
Still on Twitter, mostly due to Volya Radio (Twitter spaces) but trying to pop in here regularly. I think we are all distressed by the treachery we are witnessing from the creeps and criminals in the White House, but we have to stay positive for Ukraine. As a nurse, I want to help.
No one, and I mean no one, should ever believe a single solitary word that comes out of the twisted little orange mouth. He is DERANGED. I sincerely hope the world’s leaders are just saying to camera, things that are non controversial, but behind the scenes are getting our ducks in a line.

It's International Women's Day, but in Donetsk, a day of mourning.
20 civilians murdered by Russia in free Donetsk yesterday, including 11 in Dobropillya.
There are 30 other wounded, including 5 children.

I absolutely agree. He is truly causing disaster on a global scale. He.Must.Be.Stopped.
Not just free Donetsk region where Russia kills at will
There's an incredible anger in Ukraine aimed at the USA, with the feeling they've been stripped of protection with #TraitorTrump stopping Intel
Three civilian workers died at a meat processing plant in Bohodukhiv, Kharkiv
⚡️ "The impression that the US is now discussing the ultimatum with Russia, which Putin issued at the beginning of the full-scale war," — Zelensky
‼️ "I wonder if we did not go for such ultimatums at the most difficult moment, where does the feeling come from that we will go for it now?".
All of this — per @ioponomarenko.bsky.social:
The EU around the world must be the EU we want to see in the world:
The antithesis to the autocratic axis forming today.
Extract from my speech at the Conference of EU Ambassadors ↓
I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.
Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.
Know your rights. Pass these around…
