After his win Biden said "America is back". Whoever wins after this Trump's term, they won't be able to say the same not being ridiculous. America will never be back after this shitshow.

More reports that Starlink cut off Ukrainian drone operations last night, destroying several ongoing missions. This took place while several Ukrainian cities were under Russian missile barrage.

To use an old, infamous Marxist distinction, whatever Trump may be "subjectively," he is "objectively" a Russian asset.

It's so hard to pick a date when the post-American world really began, because there are so many. Today makes a great candidate, though: right after Trump claimed there was an "energy ceasefire", Kyiv was bombed into another blackout. That's how much Putin despises the weakest American leader ever.

That little Russian diesel, if exists at all, will not do much for Trump in the mid term elections but the money going to Russia will help killing sleeping families and children with Russian missiles and drones. Appaling.

Anyone still whining that we need more diplomacy with Russia, while the Russians respond to all diplomatic efforts by killing more Ukrainian civilians, is just helping spread the Kremlin’s propaganda.

More and more people base their political, ethical, and health desicions on information delivered and curated by algorithms. More and more evidence shows that these algorithms are a driving force behind political polarisation, lonliness, and mental health issues. And nowbody does shit about it.

Incredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Oleshky is facing a humanitarian disaster. I spent a great deal of time there, and its people are now trapped under Russian occupation with almost no safe way out. Ukraine and the ICRC are ready to evacuate civilians. Russia refuses to provide the necessary security guarantees. - Dmytro Lubinets

We have the best people in the world working in air defense. But we don't have the missiles to protect ourselves. Trump changed his mind about giving us a license so that Ukraine could make these missiles itself. And my favorite city Kyiv is covered in craters like these.

Mehr als 20 ballistische Raketen schlagen in Kyjiw ein. Das ukrainische Militär kann keine einzige abwehren – weil notwendige Abfangraketen fehlen. UN-Vertreter sehen in den russischen Angriffen eine weitere Eskalation – und damit eine noch größere Gefahr für die Zivilbevölkerung.

Ten years of normalizing, rationalizing and often sane-washing what began with the Brexit vote on 06/23 and continued with Trump‘s election on 11/08 2016, have distorted public discourse in what was until then known as „the West“. This. Is. Not. Normal. (I’m including myself and my profession here.)

Another extremely massive Russian air attack on Ukraine. So many drones and missiles of all types - more than I can remember seeing in the past few months. The attack is ongoing. The main targets appear to be energy infrastructure in the western regions of Ukraine.

I associate this winter with three things: cold, darkness, and gratitude. I am not mentioning Russian missiles and drones because they strike civil infrastructure all year round. That is why we in Kyiv are sitting at minus -17 degrees without heating, electricity, water, or communication. 1/1

🔸The "front line" in Ukraine has disappeared. It's now a 20-30 km "kill zone" where everything is visible to drones. Soldiers hide in small "burrows," playing hide-and-seek with death. This is the new face of modern warfare. texty.org.ua/projects/116...
