WOW—Starlink satellite 🛰 internet activated for Ukraine!!! This circumvents Putin’s attempts to cut off 🇺🇦’s internet from the world. Democracy dies in darkness—unless you circumvent Putin. Thank you @elonmusk 🙏
2) Musk was responding to the request of @FedorovMykhailo - Ukraine’s vice prime minister for satellite internet support from Musk’s starlink network. What a time to be alive on @Twitter.
3) Putin definitely will not like this. What a crazy time to be alive. Seriously, stop and think about it. No oligarch or king or emperor in history could be usurped like this. Unblocked Starlink for Russia 🇷🇺 wide next!
4) The irony is that @elonmusk once tried to buy ICBMs 🚀 from Russia but he scrapped that to instead build @SpaceX. If he went with Putin, he probably couldn’t do what he just did for Ukraine 🇺🇦 above. When one door closes… sometimes life opens another window.
5) Starlink often provides emergency service to parts of the world cut off from the internet link Tonga’s volcanic 🌋 eruption. However Starlink requires a special modem, which Musk says is being shipped now / delivered soon. I suspect Ukraine 🇺🇦 leaders already have such modems.
ICYMI—Zelenskyy won the Ukrainian version of Dancing with the Stars in 2006. Behold, the badass President of Ukraine 🇺🇦 in all his dancing glory… I don’t think there is any world leader who can match @ZelenskyyUa. He is what the world needs right now.
If you think Zelenskyy can dance, wait til you learn how Zelenskyy actually became President of Ukraine — as an actor who played the president on TV. 👇
Life is stranger than fiction—this famous 1 minute @ZelenskyyUa TV scene launched his fictional career as President—which then launched his real life as President of Ukraine🇺🇦—which gave us the anti-Putin hero the world🌎 needed right now!
If the universe could create the perfect antidote to Putin — it would be Zelenskyy. He is everything we need right now and more… Dancing with the Stars included.
Zelenskyy is the hero that we need right now. The hero that we all need. A hero who doesn’t crave to be idolized. I pray he survives and pray @JeremyRenner will play him in future movies and explain to people what leadership truly is.
THE @CDCDirector NEEDS TO GO—@CDCgov says anyone with this short list of 24+ risk factors can basically go screw yourselves—“If you have one of these conditions, talk with your healthcare provider about how best to protect yourself from severe #COVID19."🔥 cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
2) “a person with any of the conditions listed below is more likely to get very sick from COVID-19. This means that a person with 1+ of these conditions who gets very sick from COVID-19 is more likely to:
📌Be hospitalized
📌Need intensive care
📌Require a ventilator
📌Die
3) Yes, basically— you have a more likely chance to “DIE” if you have 1 of 24 risk factors…. Which, checks notes 📝, is probably 3 out of 4 👀 Americans by this epidemiologist’s back-of-napkin best estimate from 18 years of doing chronic disease epidemiology.
HUMANITY—Ukraine will open a ☎️hotline for mothers, fathers, wives of Russian🇷🇺 soldiers who came to Ukraine but were captured or killed. The line for POW & the fallen will be called "Come back alive from Ukraine!" - Adviser to 🇺🇦Internal Ministry reports. facebook.com/anton.gerashch…
2) “On this "hotline" you (relative of Russian soldier) can manage whether your relatives are still alive, whether they are captive, are there injured or decide when and how you can take the body of your deceased relative.”
🇺🇦 Ukraine advisor to Interior Ministry
3) “If your loved one is captive with us, you can leave for your husband, his son a short cut.
A little later there will be an official statement of the 🇺🇦 Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on this issue.”
