What happened in Bucha one year ago was not an isolated episode.
 
Those executions in cold blood were part of a bigger plan.
 
The Kremlin's plan to eliminate Ukrainians.

Their national identity.

Their sense of being.

War criminals will be held accountable.

To date, we have disbursed €150 billion under #NextGenerationEU.

This means hundreds of investments and reforms for a green, digital and just transition set in motion.

And more will come, across the EU. See the #NextGenEU map ↓

Brexit was a mistake. In the EU this was always pretty obvious.

And as it looks now in the UK as well.

Ukraine is a testament to the bravery of a nation which will never relent in its quest for freedom.

Ukraine will prevail because Ukrainians will neither flinch nor step back.

And because Europe and its partners and allies will stand firm.

Masks work! Amazing study of 26 elementary schools that pulled wastewater samples every 15 minutes. Researchers observed the masked percentage in the school. “The odds of a positive wastewater signal in the 5 days after one of these observations decreased by 47% for each 10% increase in the proportion of people who were fully masked."

“It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Even a little nudge can keep kids safer at school.”

The fact that Jacinda Ardern is standing down, instead of doing everything she can to remain in power, is yet another example of how different she is to the mostly awful people we have as “leaders” in everything from our governments to the little organisations we work for.

And so this reckless, costly & anti-democratic bill, which takes a wrecking ball to several thousand social, environmental & safety protections, passes Commons 297 to 238. Mind-boggling to see so many Tory MPs meekly vote to take power away from themselves & hand to Govt #REUL

This is gross. Utterly gross. It’s possible that the full, unedited answer might offer some mitigation but Braverman’s defence of using Nazi vocabulary to talk about refugees, in response to a Holocaust survivor, is just horrific. https://twitter.com/freefromtorture/status/1614172335921303554

Let’s create a series of conspiracies that lead to progressive actions, but for totally made up reasons.

“Switch to solar? Of course! Don’t you know that the government is trying to control our minds through the powerlines? If all of the homes have solar, they can’t get to us.“
