Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

Too many books? I think what you mean is not enough bookshelves.

Watch and share this video. 🙏🏼 It’s genocide. There can be no excuses. Everyone involved and everyone who stands by without calling it out is complicit. All those responsible must face justice in The Hague.

Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.

Francesca Albanese— "What is left to say, really."

"We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it (229)." #PopeFrancis #LaudatoSi #WeAreFrancis

The Dutch historian Rutger Bregman’s new book makes the argument that society’s best and brightest should be focused on making the world a better place instead of making money. Read or listen to more on The Interview. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/m...

Reform is a Limited Company Farage owns 53% It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit” It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget It wants to privatise the NHS & invest in fossil fuels Close the BBC & break International law It’s a scam Please retweet widely

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

Excellent letter. Well said @tanjabueltmann.net . I deeply share your outrage and sense of betrayal.

The Financial Times editorial board on Gaza: '...the longer it goes on, the more those who remain silent or cowed from speaking out will be complicit.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

The US is no longer collecting intelligence on Russian war crimes in Ukraine , the US administration has suspended the work of an interagency group, the Washington Post reports , citing two sources. In addition, they also abolished the position of the person responsible for coordinating the group.

Amazing. After nearly losing her house, and being locked away in a legal battle for years because of one innocuous line in her last TED Talk, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social returns to the Lion’s Den, and calls out the Broligarchs This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

"Trump has an obvious weakness that makes America weak. He places the American economy at risk for the sake of a personal foible, a visible vulnerability." snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-psy...

Urgent need for a group of EU leaders to outline a shared vision for our continent in this earth-shattering moment.🧵

Demonstrators gathered across the U.S. on Saturday for a day of protest against President Trump and his policies. Read more: nyti.ms/3Ebi0oi

This is appalling from Trump's special envoy who has dismissed Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plan for an international force to support a ceasefire in Ukraine as "a posture and a pose" The US is no longer a reliable ally www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Also. Douglas Carswell doesn't even live in the UK anymore. He lives in Jackson, Mississippi.

BREAKING: People are being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime. Keep sharing everywhere.

That didn't last long.

Donald Trump has said Russia has "all the cards" in negotiations to end the war with Ukraine He should know, he’s handed them to them news.sky.com/story/trump-...

I strongly recommend that you might follow this gentleman on social media. @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social is very well informed and very eloquent about current world situations.

American soldiers who fought alongside British soldiers will be ashamed of their government.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Trudeau is absolute class.

“We are at a crossroads in history. This is not a moment for more talk. It’s time to act, time to step up and lead” Prime minister Keir Starmer 👏

My question to Americans: How does it feel to be on the same side as Russia and North Korea at the UN? Does it feel like you're heading in the right direction?

Love this ❤️

Absolutely

“A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.”

Budapest today. Thank you for standing with #Ukraine! 📹:@SzabadonMagyar

🚑 Time to recognise paramedics as an official emergency service. Paramedics face immense stress yet lack official emergency service recognition. It’s time for fair rights, benefits and retirement protections.
