Very moving livestream with @kyivindependent.com @theguardian.com tonight. Watched with a 23yr old Japanese-Sri Lankan young journalist, recent St Andrews graduate, just returned from volunteering/reporting from Calais. To see her determination to become a journalist tonight has filled me with hope

These are on par with pogroms. It is high time to actively oppose this mass slander & other hate propaganda. These billionaires need to be dispossessed of their platforms and other assets for their crimes.

Nobody understands what this government is for or where it is taking us - least of all the government itself. There are excellent people in the Labour movement and on the Labour benches, but until that fundamental problem is fixed, they're lurching from one badly handled crisis to another.

For my first column as Observer economics editor, I've written about the folly of calling for blanket price subsidies during a global energy shortage. It doesn't seem to be online so if you want to read in full, you'll have to go out and buy a physical paper, like in the good old days.

Important read, by someone who knows what she’s talking about. We’re in uncharted territory - seems v unlikely ever to go back to “normal” (assuming we all survive the crisis). Well done Donald. @alexhh.bsky.social

Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.

The contrast between Britain and the US in their response to the Epstein files is striking. Britain: lock up the brother of the King and cast out the prince of darkness, Lord Mandelson. US: circle the wagons round the president and his cabinet.

A subject nobody ever speaks about ever, given that the ‘problem’ of immigration dominates our news feeds here in the N.hemisphere, giving very little thought as to why people migrate in the first place. We’re all human, with families, dreams & tragedies. 0ur news only talks in numbers, not people

A decent analysis of the outcome of the Trump/Ramaphosa ‘Theatre of the Absurd’. SA didn’t win much (yet) nor did it lose ground, so considered not a bad outcome all & all. Mostly down to Ramaphosa’s composure.

NEW: Multiple reports of Russian missiles pouring into Ukraine tonight, targeting civilians. The US has shut off the intelligence Ukraine needs to protect itself. This hotel in the southern city of Kryvyi Rih took a direct hit. Trump has the blood on his hands of every Ukrainian casualty tonight.

A picture of the hotel still smouldering at nighttime. It has been totally gutted by fire and the roof has collapsed. Fire engines are on the scene

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

Trumps federal cull is going to be just like Brexit. When the US economy starts to wither, instead of recognising the consequences of their actions, he will say it’s because they didn’t drain the swamp enough, that the cuts weren’t deep enough, just like Brexit wasn’t hard enough to work

If we look at the numbers,it’s obvious how enormous the contribution of the EU to Ukraine’s defense has been.To say that the EU helps Ukraine less than the USA is simply untrue The total aid allocated by Europe to Ukraine over the past 3 years surpasses the US– nearing almost €140 billion,—IFW

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

trump is unique in that his depravity creates the very cynicism he feeds on. it is necessary to uphold the idea that we are capable of better even if that belief is counterfactual. which is why we need to tell the bureaucracy that their work is valued and that they are holding the line for us.

"Masculine Energy"

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.
