Mass starvation of Palestinians by Israel must end now. It is genocide and should be prosecuted as a war crime. But first, deliver food and water immediately. The world must sanction Israel and demand an end to its outrageously inhumane policy. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Hey Canadians. Let’s offer to “gift” Trump with an iconic Beaver float plane in exchange for him dropping his illegal tariffs, and for not being a dick about threatening to take over our country. Could work. He likes planes and loves a good freebie.

The picture of President Trump on a giant banner "is reminiscent of portraits of leaders hanging from public buildings, often seen in dictatorships, monarchies, and in descriptions in George Orwell’s 1984 of 'Big Brother.’” - The Independent (UK) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Freedom of the press is being crushed by Columbia, once the model and bastion of the highest journalistic standards. Suspending students for practicing journalism is an attack on journalists at every level, from students to established professionals. Columbia has lost its way.

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

And there you have it.

Time to take the Trump insanity diagnosis seriously. Invoke the 25th Amendment of the U.S Constitution and remove him from office before it is too late. Trump is dangerously delusional. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

He sure did!

Are we supposed to feel sorry for people who didn’t even bother to look up the meaning of tariff before voting for them? Cause I am not feeling it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

US economy shrinks in first quarter of Trump 2.0 amid sweeping tariffs

US ex-ambassadors warn of slide into authoritarianism amid ‘climate of fear’

UK and France in talks over Palestine recognition, UK foreign secretary confirms

"deal" is a magic word, part of the Trumpian spell, but vacuous. Challenge to reporters: write the news, especially regarding Ukraine, without using it.

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

Another insane story. The US has confiscated this family’s baby and put her into foster care, basically because the parents have tattoos — and deported the mom to Venezuela and trafficked the dad into prison in El Salvador. They have no known criminal record

My first post in collaboration with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social is out ! I wrote about some concerning new developments that may indicate that Russia is feeling confident enough in Trump’s ability to force a bad deal on Ukraine so that the Kremlin is starting to prepare for more.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Everyone’s gonna be wide awake at his funeral. If only because they’ll play Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration” at full volume.

Trump proves he is Putin’s puppet. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

Russian barbarians attacked various parts of Kyiv, killing and injuring dozens of civilians, including nine children. The evil savages continue to pursue their genocidal objectives by depopulating Ukrainian cities of Ukrainians.

Trump is like a deer caught in the headlights. A really dumb deer. Caught in headlights he switched on himself and has no clue how to switch off. Now what? Your move MAGAman. The world is watching. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/u...

Imagine America during the Korean War in 1950 telling the embattled southern forces after Pyongyang’s massive invasion that both sides “need to put down their weapons and build a better North and South Korea.” Trump is acting as a de facto Russian ally. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
