Mark Lawson @marklawsonkernow.bsky.social · 7hIt’s heartening to know that, in a major global political force that has taken such a dark, selfish path as the USA, a country I could never forgive what it has inflicted on the world in its choice of president, that there ARE decent Americans. Thank you for reminding us, and Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 0142

Mark Lawson @marklawsonkernow.bsky.social · 13/10/2026And the fact that support for right wing and agitating social accounts, as well as the current White House own propaganda machine has markedly dropped off has led to Musk being angry at Zelensky for hitting the Russian data centres where this misinformation comes from.
