If Trump gave you the kiss of life (sorry for that image) he'd send lawyers round the next day with a claim for wear and tear on his lips. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

But, the greatness?

Praying that in the German elections this weekend the people choose a govt that offers them stability in this chaotic, volatile world!🙏 Powerful forces are intent on silencing the weak! 🇩🇪 🗳️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

Your Bretwalda has once again been called upon for diplomatic service in forin parts. Your Bretwalda fully expects upon his return that the Mead Hall will be; A: Still standing. B: In the same century that your Bretwalda left it. C: That the big red 'DO NOT PRESS' button remains unpressed.

"These kinds of shocks are going to lead to a mass exodus … for minorities in particular.” For my latest @science.org story, I spoke with early career researchers who have been affected by the federal upheaval and are concerned about what it means for their future. www.science.org/content/arti...

Confused...they’re convicts, right? Insurrectionists? No particular singing chops? A choir only when they had nothing else to do? And they’re going to the Kennedy Center? This isn’t Kid Rock performing at an Inaugural Ball, this’d be like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog tap-dancing at Carter’s funeral.

Once again, Jasmine Crockett brings it home:  We don't win if we don't try, but if we try and we lose, at least we know we tried to make this world a better place .

Tim Montgomerie, "I am a Trump supporter. And I still, on balance, see much merit in him"

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

This.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

People keep bemoaning the lack of leaders in the liberal democratic world - and I echo them. But we overlook Zelenskyy, who is as admirable a symbol of courage, resolve, clarity and righteousness as you will find.

A train through Germany: is Europe’s powerhouse going off the rails?

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first. We are DONE with you.
