As an archaeologist I'm asking you...if you're eligible to vote in Germany today, go vote and do what Indiana Jones would do. 🏺💗🏳️‍⚧️ #wählliebe #GegenRechts #fckafd @luilog.bsky.social @prehistoryteller.bsky.social @drnwillburger.bsky.social

www.theguardian.com/global/comme... I'm by no means a routine Starmer-basher, but the growing and disquieting feeling that Labour is simply aiming for a continuity government, albeit with greater competence and less madness than the Tories, is hard to ignore.

President Trump called Zelensky illegitimate, unlawful, and undemocratic. Yet, a non-Ukrainian IBAF poll shows 64% of eligible Ukrainian voters support Zelensky. Even if polls are wrong and he loses future elections, he’ll likely accept defeat without urging attacks on Ukraine’s parliament.

Red alert:Get ready for one of the most historic midterm elections in U.S. history.🚨Republicans are facing an unprecedented wave of backlash over mass layoffs ordered by President Trump and Musk.Tensions are rising check the full story in the images to see what’s really happening behind the scenes.🔥

Are you struggling with poverty, low wages, insecure job? Neoliberals have an answer. They want govt to encourage you to speculate on the stock market, buy/sell shares with illusion of riches. Part of the right wing coup to distract people from reality, produce corporate foot-soldiers.

@charlieangus104.bsky.social eases my fear. But I know only action defeats tyrants. So I have to act, daily. There are 3 starting points here: 1. Get with others to act. 2. Pressure a pillar of support to defect. 3. Devote to a long-term project. #DoSomething choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

An “insecure peace” deal for Ukraine only “risks more war”, the defence secretary warns this weekend as Sir Keir Starmer seeks to convince President Trump not to agree a pro-Putin ceasefire deal www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Trump was thrilled to announce tonight that he has terminated America’s most senior military officer — Gen. C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump failed to provide a reason as to why he abruptly fired Brown from his position. It is, in fact, the first time that the…

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Students in an elementary school broadcasting club in California are among the youngest winners of NPR's Student Podcast Challenge.

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

This has become a pattern among the newly pardoned: “Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader granted clemency by President Donald Trump last month, was arrested outside the U.S. Capitol on Friday and charged with assaulting a female protester…”

An idle high-voltage transmission line is suspected of sparking the deadly Eaton Fire near Los Angeles. As it turns out, California doesn't know how many more of these unused lines are strung up across the fire-prone state. A big risk hiding in plain sight. 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Musk now has a well-established pattern of pursuing younger women and having children with them, only to humiliate them later and do whatever he wants with the kids, regardless of their wishes. Unfortunately, there will always be another woman who falls for it. The problem is him

Allowing a Draft Dodger to negotiate a resolution for a war is a HUGE mistake. Trump is as limp as an overcooked noodle. #DemVoice1
