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.

Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic, has misused his control of WordPress to interfere with WP Engine customers’ access to WordPress.org, asserting that he did so because WP Engine filed litigation against Wordpress.org. This simply is not true. Our Cease & Desist letter was a letter – not a lawsuit – and was directed at Automattic for Matt’s pattern of serious and repeated misconduct – behavior that must stop for the health and stability of the entire community.
Matt Mullenweg’s unprecedented and unwarranted action interferes with the normal operation of the entire WordPress ecosystem, impacting not just WP Engine and our customers, but all WordPress plugin developers and open-source users who depend on WP Engine tools like ACF. We are taking immediate steps to remediate the impact of this action. We remain steadfastly committed to supporting WP Engine customers, users, and the entire WordPress community.
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?

Here’s what is really happening. Someone is hosting a website on WP Engine that someone else needs to get hacked.
By turning off the ability to update plugins and themes - this increases the likelihood of this happening.
It creates a clean evidentiary trail.
None of this has anything to do with trademarks or hosting.
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?

Hi @FTC please look into this clear cut case of anticompetitive behavior. Thanks.
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.

You know who is about to get screwed big time. Small hobbiests, small nonprofits who have absolutely no idea WTF is going on between Automattic and WP Engine.

In case anyone needs a local backup of the WP plugin repo:
svn co plugins.svn.wordpress.org
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? nitter.gq/AkaiEnso/status/183908…

Everyone please note, I am no longer a WordPress Expert.... but an Expert in WordPress®️
p.s. I hope I got this right #wpdrama
You are not alone brother. nitter.gq/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.
