The news just stays heavy these days, doesn’t it? I watch the world around me and just … 😔

But I keep holding onto the images of the helpers I see. Where there are helpers, there is hope. ❤️‍🩹

I’m absolutely disgusted. And yes, I will post this on social media and the Trump admin is welcome to stop me at the border. I’m happy to explain why xenophobia is disgusting.

Widespread layoffs. Hiring freezes. The attack on science is blistering. The number of my friends that have lost their jobs is creeping up daily.

Very curious which countries here in Europe (and beyond) will step up and start offering talent hires.

Trump said he was glad the world saw this, his interaction with Zelensky.

That is true. It is good that the world saw how Trump and Vance bullied the leader of a country that was attacked and that the US now openly sides with Russia.

That is indeed important for the world to see.
