let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

"Piece Plan"

Let’s go!!! 🇺🇦 Pro-Ukraine protest outside the Russian embassy. ✊

Wise man…

He nails it.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

That sounds like a plan that I can get on board with! 🤭😅🤣

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER Trump has suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia. That is not true. We all need to call this out

Ed Davey, "Our closest ally, the United States, is now supporting Russia, removing itself from the defence of Europe and the UK" "We've got to make the defence of our country our top priority"

Happy Mother Language Day, Resisters 💙 Let us also remember Malcolm X, who was assassinated on this day in 1965. @fireeyebooks.bsky.social @sassysister27.bsky.social @pittsburghlady.bsky.social @womenvspatriarchy.bsky.social @mysageadvice.bsky.social @journeyled1.bsky.social @gwenie.bsky.social

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

I guess the NYP got something right. It was no secret he was a Putin puppet, but the price of eggs...

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Are congrats in order in a case like this? 🤨

“Dr Mike Galsworthy, chairman of the European Movement UK, told The Independent: “This is welcome news. We need to start pulling this country out of the no-growth quagmire of Brexit and start giving people hope for a better, brighter future.””

THIS.

share.newsbreak.com/bme4kx29 How sad. Indiana wants to stop free books for kids. #FUINDIANA

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

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

Putin says " it would be unacceptable to deploy British and european troops in Ukraine"today, but it's ok for him to have North Korean troops there. He has no say in the matter because it's not Russia, it's Ukraine.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

Energy Transfer’s $300m trial against Greenpeace begins on Monday - a classic SLAPP suit by a major Trump donor which seeks to rewrite the Indigenous-led Standing Rock protests and could have a chilling effect on free speech By me & @rachelleingang.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The king is lying to you.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.
