Слава Україні! Героям слава! Разом до перемоги! Як американець і ветеран, я підтримую всіх чоловіків і жінок, які захищають Україну від російської агресії, а також український народ і їхню боротьбу за свободу. Ми завжди з вами!
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! Together to victory! As an American and a veteran, I support all the men and women defending Ukraine from Russian aggression, as well as the Ukrainian people and their fight for freedom. We are always with you! – at Merrill, WI
As planned, today we are heading home after completing all the necessary talks. Every discussion went exactly as needed. The Victory Plan has been presented to America, and we explained each point in detail. Now, our teams will work to implement every step and decision. Strong positions for Ukraine mean a quicker path to peace.
Everything crucial for Ukraine is on the table with our partners and under consideration—long-range capabilities, defense packages, sanctions against Russia, and measures regarding Russian assets. We have covered all these topics.
We are now preparing for the meeting in Germany within the framework of Ramstein, where we will move forward with our partners on the Victory Plan’s key points. I am grateful to President Biden for the invitation.
The most important focus remains the frontlines. We have done everything within our power to strengthen ourselves as much as possible. Now, together with our partners, we need to ensure exactly what will bring a just peace closer. Russia must lose this war. Ukraine must prevail. This is the real foundation for our shared security—peace through strength.
I am grateful to everyone who supports us.

"Could?"
Did you see the ridiculous contract buyout offer posted by @Pressable Just hours after @wpengine was denied access to @WordPress?
Pressible is ALSO owned by @automattic. How could that be seen as anything OTHER than intentionally anti-competitive?

I believe that companies, countries, and frankly ALL organizations should be run with a balance of intelligence, experience, compassion, and emotion. And in my experience, the leaders most likely to possess that balance are women.

Yes. Or at least I used to think so.
The disappointing part of this intense battle is that users seem to have become collateral damage. Doesn’t that go against everything #WordPress stands for?

No! At this point I'm afraid I'd wake up with a Joomla site, and the only place I can go to complain about it will be Google+.
You know when you’re watching a TV show that had a super strange episode and finally the character wakes up and you see the whole thing was a weird dream? Could we all wake up from the crazy #wordpress dream we’ve been living in this week?

Let me see if I understand this: @pressable, which is the hosting company owned by @automattic, which is run by @photomatt, who just completely shut down core functionality to @wpengine and screwed all of the WordPress site owners on that platform without warning anyone in the community about it first, is now anticipating that perhaps we might be unhappy with our services, so they're going to rescue us?
Am I wrong, or does this feel like a murderer adopting his victim's children because clearly the corpse in the corner isn't fit to be a parent anymore?
If you're not happy with your hosting at WP Engine but you bought into an annual contract, we want to help set you free.

Same!
I've been a customer for 8 years, which is how I convinced my new employer a year ago to move all of our @WordPress clients over to @wpengine. Now how do I explain this to them and the hundreds of volunteer non-profit @Rotary-based website owners we support, and who trust WordPress as a platform and WPEngine as a service provider? teapaw.org/AkaiEnso/status/183908…

You are not alone brother. teapaw.org/AkaiEnso/status/183908…
Not being able to do @WordPress updates because of the @photomatt/@wpengine fight is infuriating.
For a small nonprofit, being caught in the middle of this could be costly if we need to migrate our sites to a new host. That money/time should be used for our mission.

Are you interested in adjusting any of these numbers to account for what your decision will cost the hundreds of non-profit organizations who rely on your open source software and the support they receive from @WPEngine?
@WordPress websites are the backbone of much of the communication and outreach that is vital to the causes and missions of @Rotary International clubs, districts, and members throughout North America and around the world. Nearly all are run by volunteers, and many of them rely on WPEngine services and support to keep it running smoothly.
This is your fight. Not theirs. #FindABetterWay. teapaw.org/AkaiEnso/status/183908…

I tried asking @photomatt directly how his numbers would skew if he were to factor in the cost to non-profits and volunteer organizations that he's screwing by choking out their web host. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he didn't answer. But I trust your opinion, @iChris. Would you care to speculate?

I understand you are trying to make a point, @photomatt, But by blocking @wpengine from accessing @WordPress core functions, you're not just punishing your new enemy. You have chosen to punish hundreds of @Rotary International clubs, districts and support organizations throughout North America, in addition to the thousands of Rotarians, volunteers, philanthropists and the communities and charitable causes they serve.
Find a better way. This is not it.

What's up with getframes.io tonight @thekevingeary? It's been in maintenance mode for at least three hours. I'm trying to access downloads and grab our license so I can set up the blueprint and start training with the team this weekend. 🤷♂️ – at Wisconsin, USA
