Four years of courage and determination. Four years of defending their homeland, democracy and the rest of Europe from Putin's fascist regime. Four years of loss and pain. I salute the Ukrainian people.

Nothing says "board of peace" like having two founding members not show up to the signing ceremony because they would be arrested at the airport for war crimes.

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace…” In 60 years’ reporting, I’ve never seen a message like Trump’s to Norway’s PM. We’ve left the realm of diplomacy for somewhere far more disturbing.

I wrote about trans activism. How it went wrong. How it turned public opinion against trans people. And how we can build a more philosophically liberal and effective version where radicals have failed. In @QueerMajority: queermajority.com/essays-all…

If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret
French senator perfectly describes the Trump situation.

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸
