I woke up stomach in knots, still seething after last night's obscene ambush at the White House. I wonder how it was perceived by the MAGA base. Are they proud of their strong man's performance? Do they appreciate the gravity of what happened? Do they even know where Ukraine is? Do they?

Today was the day the idea of America died. The free world stands with Ukraine and Zelensky. America has crossed to the other side. What was seen in the White House can never be unseen. Or undone. There is actually no coming back from this disgrace.

Withdraw the state visit invitation to Trump. Offer one to Zelensky instead. With bells and fucking whistles.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should NOT be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this despicable man. If you agree, add your name to the petition today and repost this link: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I just listened to trump’s speech on the Gaza riviera in full. I do not recall ever being so deeply enraged. You vile, despicable ignoramus, how dare you?

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Ma che il film di Ozpetek è un carosello di cliché infarcito di stereotipi e di dialoghi imbarazzanti lo ha già detto qualcuno?

I'm not a sentimental person, but this is easily the best declaration of love I have ever seen on a tv show. And if you've watched this outstanding show, you will know just how cathartic this scene was: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZsD... (starts at 12:10)

Happy Days for cooks like me. Beans and peas are the best substitutes for meat and dairy. And lab grown meat unlikely (on the information currently known) to reduce emissions. theconversation.com/the-best-and...
