Full text of the Ukraine-US Minerals Deal.
1. Seems fine (an investment and reconstruction fund);
2. Has no resemblance to what the Trump administration has been saying about it;
3. Can't tell if Ukraine is good at diplomacy, or Trump bad at it.

Today (Feb 22) in 1943, three courageous young people in the group White Rose were executed for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets in Germany. Sophie Scholl: "The greatest damage is caused by the silent majority that just wants to survive, submit and go along with everything."

It is a non-stop source of amazement how invisible misogyny remains to white men, who even now--after the highly respected Coast Guard Commandant was fired for being female & turfed out of her home with 3hrs notice--STILL write about MAGA & the purges of the federal gov as driven only by racism.

I reviewed the original Gilgamesh in 2006. It was a weird, gargantuan restaurant serving a clumsy pan-Asian menu. It closed. Now it’s reopened elsewhere and I wanted to know if Gilgamesh Mark II was any better. God, the things I do for you. This week’s review.

Yesterday, pro-Russian parties in Bulgaria organized a protest against Bulgaria's entry into the eurozone.

Germany’s likely next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has warned that Europe should be ready for Donald Trump to no longer uphold NATO’s mutual defense commitment unconditionally.
Asked whether Germany should seek protection under France’s nuclear umbrella, he had this to say 👇

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”
A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:
STAND OUT
