Well then, who'd have thought that might happen?

I wonder what the white men on eggshells are wanting to say? If it's racist or sexist shit, fair enough, they should be careful. But, yeah, Fox is saying it, so...

FUCK

Take note.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Sad. True.

Wait, what? They marched too?

How low can the USA go? I'm using this rhetorically, not as a challenge!

Developing countries ‘need more debt relief’ to fund education and health

In my experience, scholars make for poor activists Being trained in a problem-focused environment, they tend to see the full weight of negative consequences & all the reasons why dissent might fail; so courage is hard to muster Yet now is the time for some imperfect action Use a practical guide ⬇️

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

not my usual content. but. "Forgiving, in other words, is the only reaction which does not merely re-act but acts anew and unexpectedly, unconditioned by the act which provoked it and therefore freeing from its consequences both the one who forgives and the one who is forgiven." --Hannah Arendt

I see Trump's left his backbone in his other suit - so instead of having to endure the tedious interchange with G6 leaders and no Putin for support, he's fleeing the G7 for important business in the Whitehouse, announcing that he can't sign a resolution of de-escalation [via Ms Leavitt?].

I didn’t know this was more than just my experience. Lol.

"We do hard shit together" would make for a very-efficient one-sentence syllabus 😂

Uh-huh. Who'd have thought that "shock and awe" tactics would appeal to other intentionally bad actors.

Sportball warning: cricket. Well done South Africa; solid victory in a great contest.

Yeah. That's definitely the way to deal with enemies of the State.

Shower time!

I am joining the new editorial review board of @historyinafrica.bsky.social and I hope to see a flood of article submissions!

The contents of this 'tweet' seem to be a catena of statements (skeets) from George Conway here on Bluesky. That may, in itself be an ethical issue...

WHAT?!! Trump's read a book!!!? Now that is fake over fake news.

As I put the socials away for the next few hours, I predict that, scripted-WWE-style, the president and the weird Mars guy will awkwardly make up. And they will both get richer in the process. Meanwhile, we all have work to do putting our own corners of the world back together. Let’s be about it.
