Pay particular attention to the part about the ethnic cleansing in Gaza. youtu.be/1o2jZzxLnME?...

Johan Grimonprez's film charts both the hopes and the tragedies of Africa's freedom movements in the shadow of the Cold War, as the Soviet Union and the U.S. jockeyed for influence in the "new world."

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has refused to comment on the Trump attack on Zelenskyy, the FT reports. The only major European leader to do so.

Oh look. The UK ā€¦wants to go down in flames with us. Weird.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you canā€™t out-alpha, imagine that

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.

Zelenskyy carrying the weight of his country on his shoulders and he has to sit and listen to this shit. America should give Ukraine what it needs, just to make up for the sheer embarrassment of this scene. Trump and Vance are puddles of piss next to this man. www.thejournal.ie/zelenskyy-ar...

One annoying thing about the "run the government like a business" guys is that they also are terrible at running businesses. I run my podcast "like a business" in the sense that things are made to a high quality and shipped on time, but it seems their only version of "good business" is "layoffs"

Strong leaders donā€™t need to shout. Strong leaders can move mountains with a whisper. This is not strong leadership. Trump & Vance are unqualified for executive leadership.

The bullying of Zelenskyy by Vance & Trump hits harder when you watch it on video. Theyā€™re awful but I respect Zelenskyy for pushing back Zelenskyy leaves White House early after furious meeting where Trump claims he ā€˜disrespected USā€™ & is not ready for peace www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Trump and Musk claim theyā€™re saving billions through DOGEā€™s mass purge of federal bureaucracy. Instead, the administration has spent $710 billion in its first month, nearly a billion more than Joe Biden.

The chaos of the Civil War scattered Black Americans across the landscape. For decades following, thousands of notices appeared nationwide from mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, all eager for the slightest bit of intelligence about their families.

The new Trump Administration is pursing a plan of graft, self-interest and ethnic cleansing. EXACTLY what they set out to do but no mainstream corporate news organization wanted to tell the American people would happen. So they voted for lower egg prices.

I received this text this morning from a friend who works in early childhood education. If you enabled this through your support, apathy, or inaction - from the bottom of my heart: BURN IN HELL.

Fitting that one of my most successful posts on blue sky would be one of my most embarrassing.
