#Biden calls #America’s democratic values the “grounding wire of our global power” & its #alliances “our greatest asset.” …#Trump, called for withdrawing American forces in #Europe & #Asia & has promised… to cut loose even our closest #allies if they don’t do as he tells them. …Trump sees all countries as unreliable, the relations between them #transactional. That sentiment has spread throughout a #GOP that once championed America’s values abroad…
…#Biden says he remains committed to Ukrainian victory. Asked about the #war’s endgame, Biden says, “#Peace looks like making sure #Russia never, never, never, never occupies #Ukraine.”
…even longtime critics are impressed w/Biden’s efforts in Ukraine.
…Biden says his response has been part of a broader #deterrence strategy. “If we ever let Ukraine go down, mark my words, you’ll see #Poland go, & you’ll see all those nations along the actual border of Russia [fall].”
Our minds are constantly on the move! In this podcast, we'll explore techniques to rein in that inner wanderer and cultivate the art of mindfulness. Feeling scattered and forgetful? Can't focus on the present moment? You're not alone!
"We have to acknowledge that our minds get overwhelmed and aren’t entirely our own. This is not an easy process, but one that one can train in. It’s not possible for painful feeling to become pleasant feeling. But painful feeling can arise and pass, this is possible. Can you give it the time and the space to do that?" Ajahn Sucitto 💚 🙏
A statement from an emergency worker in Rafah:
2/2
"Most of the bodies were charred and burned, while the injured people lost limbs and suffered other injuries due to the use of internationally prohibited weapons that caused the massive fire which erupted. We pulled out approx 50 people and injured people from the area and transported them to field hospitals after official hospitals were forced to evacuate in an attempt to destroy the health system in the Rafah area”
I can't pretend to know anything about your government but I hope, if they lose there, it's a warning to those here. Hopefully, they will stand up for what is right. I just want this horrific genocide to end.
I'm reading about the end of the bronze age around the Aegean, Middle East and Egypt. The Bronze age in these areas was a time of alliances, trade and prosperity. Extreme weather conditions and displaced warriors brought an abrupt end to this. Luckily it's a history book with absolutely no scary echoes for now #climate#peace#war#foodSecurity
But Mr #Putin has already ruled out that he will attend the upcoming #Ukraine#Peace Summit, which is being held in Burgenstock, #Switzerland, from 15-16 June - which Ukraine is keen for Russia's allies to attend.
Let Them...The idea behind this way of thinking is that negative people are going to do what they are going to do, so you can take back your power by letting them. You don't need to use your precious energy to fight their negativity.

In the recent update,
Norway, Ireland and Spain recognize Palestinian state saying there would be no peace in the Middle East without it while Israel condemned the move and called it "taking the side of the it's enemy".
The Spanish, Irish & Norwegian govts announced Wed that they would recognize a #Palestinian state, saying there would be no #peace in the #MiddleEast w/o it.
Israel denounced the move as giving aid to its enemy #Hamas.
The coordinated announcements are purely symbolic — but not w/o some power.
The leaders of the 3 countries said they hoped their recognition would press #Israel, the #Palestinians & the international community toward a #TwoStateSolution to the conflict.
“In the midst of a #war, w/tens of thousands killed & injured, we must keep alive the only alternative that offers a political solution for Israelis & Palestinians alike: Two states, living side by side, in #peace & #security,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said.
