#allies

An interesting take. I kinda have the fish out of water experience of growing up in many predominantly Black spaces. But college and work throw you into more white spaces where supposedly anti racist people NEVER act. You end up needing to do the work of a whole Black community in isolation. Bc theres 10x as many ignorant yt folks being casually racist with 10x fewer Black community members who will call out and resolve racism issues in parallel. #BlackMastodon #blm #blacklivesmatter #allies

I tried to shake it off, but couldn't. Mentioned what happened to the shop owner, Shrek, later that day. He said, quietly, "I'll take care of it." Never saw the customer again. #Allies matter.

#Rubio tries to enlist other nations in #Antifa fight, but some #allies recoil The secretary of state plans to convene foreign ministers in Washington next week. The event has unsettled some US & European officials. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #NationalSecurity #scapegoating #FarRight #propaganda #trumpaganda #Trump

In shift, Trump praises Zelensky, says he will let Ukraine build Patriot missiles #Trump kicked off the second day of the #NATO summit in Turkey Wednesday by restating his “need” to control #Greenland, blasting #Europe #allies as “hopeless” & threatening countries that did not support the #US - #Israel #war on #Iran. #diplomacy #geopolitics #idiocracy

Classy #Trump Renews Criticism of #Allies Before #NATO Summit Trump again criticized #Europe allies, saying they had not helped the #US in its #war against #Iran [he really doesn’t get what NATO is — a mutual DEFENSE pact, NOT offense]. “Italy turned us down, & Germany turned us down, & France turned us down,” he said during a meeting in Ankara with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey. #diplomacy #geopolitics #idiocracy

#Russia launched its strikes on #Kyiv as #Putin has come under growing pressure from recent Ukrainian millitary attacks on Russia. In the past month, Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries have caused gasoline shortages across Russia & it has mounted its biggest attack on Moscow of the war. #Ukraine has also squeezed #Crimea, causing power outages, fuel shortages & water issues on the peninsula that Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014. #geopolitics #Europe #allies #NATO #StandWithUkraine

The #EU has proposed new economic #sanctions against entities that support #Russia’s military defense industry, in response to Moscow’s overnight strikes against #Ukraine. “Words of condemnation alone will not stop attacks on Kyiv,” Kaja Kallas, the bloc’s top diplomat said on social media. “Only sustained military support for Ukraine & increased pressure on Moscow can do that.” #geopolitics #Europe #allies #NATO #Putin #StandWithUkraine

#Russia Hammers #Ukraine Capital in Deadly Attacks At least 18 people were killed in #Kyiv, the local authorities said. Ukraine’s president had warned that Moscow was preparing a “massive strike” as his country’s forces have hit deeper into Russian territory. #geopolitics #Europe #allies #NATO #Putin #StandWithUkraine

Ukraine’s air defense stock was largely drained before #Russia attacked overnight. #NATO countries have been regularly shipping modest numbers of Patriot interceptors to #Ukraine, which can shoot down ballistic missiles. But Ukrainian military has been unable to keep up with the frequent strikes. Foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, pleaded with #allies to send more, “Do not delay decisions on air defense for Ukraine! This is our main request to our partners after Kyiv suffered a night of horror.”
