Oh, we see the way Trump plays the game, Mr Hesgeth. You’re just disgusting the rest of the world with your cruelty & cynicism. Reagan/Thatcher dinosaurs calculating the price of everything & knowing the value of nothing. Go away. apple.news/Aqey60kLLTd-...

💚💙🩵 Rabindranath Tagore was an Indian Bengali polymath who worked as a poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer, and painter of the Bengal Renaissance. In 1913, Rabindranath was the first non-European writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. (1861-1941)

Too often on the left tribalism can blind us to what is worth fighting for AND worth fighting - if social justice matters to you, don’t sit on the sidelines. 1/2

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

Out now: this week’s Fridays in Trumpland. “History is packed with men who thought they were invincible– kings and their kingmakers, sneering down on the masses, unaware of the rotted and crumbling pillars beneath their feet– until it was too late.” open.substack.com/pub/newslett...

Not fun geopolitical times to live through but, as history teaches us, this era will pass and better people will rise.

Put them all in jail.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

Does Congress even remember that it has the power of the purse? www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

We could most probably eradicate the #measles by #vaccination once and for all. Alternatively, we can stop vaccinating and wait until they become and endemic around the world and kill people, in particular #children, again. There were 2.6 million measles deaths in 1980. #MedSky 🧪 #PoliSky

"Russia used the first round of talks with the US over ending the war in Ukraine to demand the withdrawal of Nato forces from the alliance’s eastern flank, triggering concern in European capitals that the Trump administration could acquiesce to seal a peace deal." www.ft.com/content/ac1d...

This.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk openly admire Putin’s Russia. We should ask ourselves why, given Putin has turned his country into an economic and cultural wasteland. www.theneweuropean.co.uk/james-ball-t... (£ / free with registration)

Hey hello Mr Elon Musk I think what would make the government more efficient is instead of the white house the executive branch should operate out of a submarine To build this submarine you should hire OceanGate a company known for not letting stifling regulations get in the way of innovation

Unless I'm mistaken this is very much a felony lmao

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Yes it's weird but potentially positive how it's bringing previously disparate groups together.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

She was real af for this

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

I am a child of the 70s/80’s that was brought up to admire America. It was the bulwark against Russia. A strong superpower that was on the right side of history despite its many failings. Never did I have on my bingo card - weak bitch to Russia and traitor to the west. But here we are.

Good morning Bluesky

Starmer backs Zelensky after Trump calls him 'dictator' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... If Trump is so concerned about Ukrainian elections he could call on Putin to end his invasion so elections can be held

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

The Kremlin says it was following statements by Sir Keir Starmer with concern after Britain and France floated prospect of Western troops being deployed. Follow the latest updates 👇 🔓 This story is free to read

There must be a separate circle of hell for someone as evil as Trump.
