Pink Floyd returns to help Ukraine, Russia is suspended from UN Human Rights Council, more proof emerges that Russian soldiers are deliberately targeting Ukrainian civilians for extermination, and more

David Gilmour shares his motivation for reconvening Pink Floyd to support Ukraine - Something of a miracle. Pink Floyd - that is, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, with Guy Pratt on bass, Nitin Sawhney on keyboards, and Ukrainian vocalist Andriy Khlyvnyuk - is back with a new song, entitled ‘Hey Hey Rise Up.’ Interesting tidbit in this article about Roger Waters, who is most definitely not involved. Rarely have I ever felt more proud of one of my absolute favorite musical acts than I am of Pink Floyd today - David Gilmour and Nick Mason; Richard Wright having left us nearly fourteen years, and Roger Waters is absent and so be it. Rarely have I ever felt so fortunate that any given group of musicians exist in this world, and have made our world a slightly less miserable place with their music and vision. I believe those of you who have been with me for some years now on this social media thing know that I am not given to excessive praise, and when I do engage in such that it is well warranted and compulsory that given individuals or group of individuals be acknowledged. As far as I'm concerned, Pink Floyd is not just another rock band, they are life itself. (The Guardian 4/07)

Russia suspended from UN Human Rights Council - Only the second country ever to have been stripped of its membership on the panel. The last country on earth who should have anything to say about human rights in any country when, throughout history and presently, they have rarely respected the rights of their own citizens.

‘Radio transmissions in which Russian soldiers appear to talk among themselves about carrying out premeditated civilian killings in Ukraine have been intercepted by Germany’s foreign intelligence service.’ (The Guardian 4/07)

FLASHBACK 2017: A reader on my page (@Sunking278) posted this Reuters article from five years ago, revealing that Trump gave away U.S. intelligence secrets in a White House meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the Russian ambassador to the U.S. at the time, Sergei Kislyak.

Wow, the gall of the above tweet. I guarantee that Marjorie Traitor Greene and every single one of her fans will not hesitate to commit mass violence against the 'violent left' (a/k/a, anyone to the left of Attila the Hun) when they get the chance. Keep voting GOP,  #Murica, and they'll get that chance.
