@mrjamesob.bsky.social We cannot call 16 year olds ‘idiots’ when you look at Truss, Farage, Johnson et Al, and they were elected to high office! And then look at the ‘Toddler Tantrums’ from the White House! Time to give young people a sense of responsibility

People in the USA & beyond are being punished, fired, defunded, deported, disciplined & silenced by Trump’s administration for their opinions & beliefs. In unprecedented numbers. I thought the ‘anti-woke’ warriors really hated this stuff? They all seem to have disappeared…

I'm going to watch a movie. It is a documentary about Yaroslav the Wise, Grand Prince of Kyiv from 1019 until his death in 1054. It is good we have movies like that 💪
