"On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away" - D. Gilmour & A. Moore. Pink Floyd

Did you see this? 😳 Shaken by a 7.7 quake centered in Myanmar, an unfinished skyscraper in Bangkok came crashing down—claiming at least three lives and leaving dozens buried.

This makes me so proud 🇨🇦☺️❤️🇨🇦

61 today and one my cards read, "The best thing about being our age is that all our mistakes were made before social media."

You guys... if this isn't what heaven looks like, I'm not going ❤️ (yes, there will be other animals as well!) 📽️saschavan

Someone who’s been convicted of violent offences — especially intimate partner violence — should not be allowed to own a gun. My government will automatically revoke their licences.

If you need to bully everyone into submission, aren't you really weak? Apparently, you don't have the wisdom and knowledge to convince them in another way? And is your ego not just a sign of extreme uncertainty, as deep in your heart, you KNOW you are incompetent in many ways? You keep up the act.

"Israeli air strike destroys part of last functioning hospital in Gaza City"(Rushdi Abualouf) As if we don't have enough going on in the world? What's wrong with all these people? And here too: Putin is close friends with Netanyahu.

Priority one for the free world is Putin, the main cause of the world's problems. With Putin, you also take the hand out of the Trump puppet. With the US sane again, Netanyahu loses lots of support and the world balances out a bit. It will not completely recover in a long time though.

The free world must already take steps to keep olichargs at bay. Our own system must be cleaned up from corruption and abuse. But not with a Elon style chainsaw, but with a scalpel and after through research. In the end, all societies will collapse, but let us at least attempt to give it a chance.

This is what the incoming president is doing. Taking some misguided victory lap as LA burns. Has he uttered a single well wish for the millions of people in this city or is that only reserved for those who display sufficient fealty?

Grateful for the bravery of these volunteers. Minnesota stands with our neighbors in California now and in the long recovery ahead. www.mprnews.org/episode/2025...

A great American is being honored on January 20th.

Gotta love the British press.

Don’t ever stop trying

I love this. The reaction. Just the person you want as a mom if you aren’t there

I remember when MAGA was screeching about Real ID for traveling under Biden claiming he was trying to “control them.” 🙄

Of course it isn't because those "geniuses" don't bother to do their homework.

Bring him home…👇 No more excuses. Bring. Home. Abrego. Now. ✨ #BringHomeAbrego

Trump has been trying to bully Maine Governor Janet Mills. A fight he is not winning. Her unwillingness to back down, similar to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, is a lesson that could be well learned by some universities and law firms in our midst. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/12/s...

DOGE has quietly transformed into something far more sinister — not a system for streamlining government, but one designed for surveillance, control, and targeting. And no one’s talking about it. So we’re going to spill the tea.

Can’t believe it’s #america 💔

High point for me , besides #AOC and #Bernie, was singing Imagine with #JoanBaez and 40,000 friends. #FightOligarchy
