@lindseyboylan.bsky.social: “After spending years of talking about how Trump is so corrupt, so monstrous, so misogynistic, to have anyone in our party suggest that Andrew Cuomo has a role to play basically makes our leaders look like cynical do-nothings who have no morals.”

It would be genuinely refreshing to see a billionaire buy a journalism / media outfit for the purpose of making a profit, rather than as a money-losing plaything to pump out propaganda, hence not caring about obliterating the outlet's credibility by forcing reporters to be vague and dishonest.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald, what, you had to bring a guy from the Russian state media in to watch you try and beat up Zelenskyy—and you thought that would make you look good? It made you look like the crook you are. Zelenskyy is a man that you will never be; he’s a genuine hero.

America is led by a weak, pathetic man. Zelenskyy is doing the actual work of defending democracy, whilst Trump is busy posting Russian propaganda and shanking golf balls into the lake.

There it is. Literally saying the US and Russia are working together to take away the independence of another country. I'm wondering if any of our press is gonna pick this one up? Seems like headline material?

‘No Other Land,’ a film about Israeli displacement of a Palestinian community, won the documentary feature film Oscar, and its directors appealed to the world to help end the conflict and accused the United States of blocking a solution reut.rs/41oltqZ #Oscars2025

No Other Land⭐️⭐️⭐️ This film made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective shows the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers and the alliance which develops between the Palestinian activist Basel and Israeli journalist Yuval. www.imdb.com/title/tt3095...

Israeli forces fired tear gas at Jenin refugee camp, causing a three-month-old Palestinian girl to suffocate, reports Wafa news agency. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/mf6ecv

Palestinian authorities say more than 48,348 people have been killed in Israel’s military campaign since October 7, 2023. Israel says those figures are untrustworthy, but has not published its own estimate of the total death toll in Gaza reut.rs/4h6dmFi

Someone paid actual money for these people to go stay in a hotel and come up with these universally trash ideas. It’s wild.

More than 2,000 firefighters are battling Japan’s biggest forest fire in three decades, as the blaze burns thousands of hectares of land every day in the country's Iwate region aje.io/vpxc5j

The rights chief of the United Nations expressed deep concern about a 'fundamental shift in direction' by the United States under President Donald Trump, warning that divisive rhetoric is being used to deceive and polarize people reut.rs/4i0Djrn

Several Arab nations and rights organisations have condemned Israel’s decision to halt aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip, calling it a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and international law by using starvation as a weapon.

If you've never been part of a government procurement process, it might be hard to understand just how much of a "go to prison" thing this would have been at any point from 1946-2024.

A Complete Unknown⭐️⭐️⭐️ In 1961, an unknown 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York City with his guitar and forges relationships with musical icons on his meteoric rise, culminating in a groundbreaking performance that reverberates around the world. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11563598/

No Other Land just won an Oscar without US distribution. Absolutely legendary for them, this film and its message. The most important award of this year, hands down.

No! Other! Land! www.avclub.com/no-other-lan...

congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.

This is basically the attitude of democrats up and down the ticket and it’s pathetic and unamerican

Hurra!!!!!

FLOW won the #Oscar!! Oh my God. Incredible. So deserved. This is a breakthrough for independent and for what the medium can be.

Incredible levels of grift and corruption happening right in front of us

If Trump was president in 1940: “Britain, Germany has all the cards. Your Army fled like a dog in Dunkirk! You don’t have any cards and you need cards!! I just want peace and i don’t care who has the advantage! CARDS!”

Zoe Saldana: “I am a proud child of immigrant parents with dreams and dignity and hardworking hands, and I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award and I know I will not be the last.” #Oscars

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

“DO YOUR JOB!” TEXAS: @RepKeithSelf’s turn

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

Guerilla advertising seen in the London Metro

This says it all.

Aww that's cute. They want people to come meet them at their homes 🥰

A quarter million Canadians signed a petition to revoke Elon's citizenship -- he's getting ratioed in real life.

It's very reasonable for normal, upstanding Americans to make clear that they won't stand for unAmerican trash like JD Vance. Everyone has their limits.

Newspapers in the UK now referring to it as the “Fight House.”

midterms are gonna be fucking lit, people are gonna be mad for a year and a half

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

Presidency-ending scandals for any previous POTUS now happening daily

Al Jazeera has been reporting on the release of 46 Palestinian women and minors by Israeli authorities on Thursday. We spoke with members of the group, some of whom were taken from Gaza months ago. 🟥 Read report: aje.io/ibqqdf

Qanon basically came true. a cabal of pedophile sex traffickers has seized control of the state news.sky.com/story/andrew...

Reading THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE—Milton Mayer’s interviews of 10 “ordinary” German Nazis: “Nazism overcame Germany not by attack from without or subversion from within, but with a whoop and a holler. It was what most Germans wanted or—under pressure of combined reality and illusion—came to want”

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Brett Meiselas: Right now, we have a president and his billionaire oligarch buddy, who are essentially leading a coup against the United States from within. And I think people are looking right now for people to call this out for what it is every single day, unapologetically,

Where does Israel hold Palestinians detained from Gaza? More than 10,000 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank are held in Israeli jails, as well as thousands more from Gaza, says the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and other orgs. 🟥 Read more: aje.io/ar9mhj

Hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli jails released in Gaza as part of the ceasefire agreement once again showed signs of emaciation and abuse. Read here: aje.io/y4xup8

The question I am really struggling with right now is: What is "law & order" and the entire American constitutional order *for* if it isn't a Go Directly to Jail card for guys like Donald Trump and Elon Musk for doing *exactly* what they're doing right now?

I don’t really understand why all the supposed 2028 front runners like Shapiro & Whitmer are so shamefully silent & invisible, but Pritzker gets it & is running circles around them
