Still holding hopes for that 36,000 Down 10% on year-to-date. Just banging 🤣

They are trying to copy Hungary, which is not a success story. Their birthrate is below replacement rate. You really want to boost your birthrate? Well, immigration is the only way. All other policies have been tried & haven’t been successful.

"In one of his final public appearances leading the stations of the cross on Good Friday, Francis [said], “Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell.” www.thebulwark.com/p/a-pope-who...

Trump’s message of condolences reads as if it were written by a not-very bright 3rd grader.

I’m really sadden by this news.

Why would anyone walk around with $3,000 in cash?

ROSENBERG: “.. Deutsche Bank has reported that its Chinese clients are selling U.S. assets and shifting to Europe and gold. Indeed, I recommend keeping an eye on the trade-weighted dollar index, which is breaking down —and fast — becoming its own source of general market instability.”

The Wolf Conservation Center is in Bluesky 🙌🙌🙌

I need to book and pay that Airbnb in London before it gets too expensive

This fucking guy!

If it weren't for the tariffs, this would be one of the biggest stories right now.

An alcoholic weekend host on FoxNews is not capable of running the largest and most complicated bureaucracy on earth. Mark me as shocked, SHOCKED! www.politico.com/news/magazin...

First reaction half “WTAF” and half “Of course.” Need a German word that combines them? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Did these world leaders and business executives came to you with tears in their eyes?

BREAKING NYT: Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer. The info included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting Houthis. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Interesting! I asked myself: what’s in it for Bukele? Well, this might be it

Yup, because abandoning the African continent to China makes America stronger and more prosperous.

Leaving the field wiiiiiide open to China. Already, China’s presence in Africa, from Algiers all the way to Cape Town, in almost every field—security, healthcare, construction, big & small industries, IT, etc—is felt and seen (I’ve seen myself), this is basically surrendering to them.

Honestly, this one shocked the hell out of me. It’s so so freaking self-defeating that I can’t put it in words

@lilymasonphd.bsky.social said better than i did. This is it 👇

This is (overtly, admittedly) about damaging parts of society that the administration believes are Democratic party power centers in order to disempower them in all future elections. It is the type of power entrenchment you often see after a coup or autoglope

Another story of 1. Admin sends fascist order 2. Media reports on it 3. People are outraged, say no 4. Admin says “actually that order was a mistake” Lesson is defy fascist orders kslnewsradio.com/shows-podcas...

Holy hell, this is The Deputy Director of the FBI 😱 😭

This isn’t just mere corruption. This is an orgy-like corruption. He fires 10,000 of federal employees l, driving them into financial distress, & awards himself 100s of billions of dollars federal contract.

I love basketball, & love playoffs basketball. Having said that, can someone please eliminate the Knicks and the Celtics so we can have a nice post season? Yeah, I know, i put my foot in my mouth, but in my defense, i do that all the time to the Arsenal’s & Tottenham’s fans 🤣

I’ve argued before (can’t find the post now) that we must choose our battles carefully. But some battles choose you, & you must find them. Due process is a foundational issue. If we don’t stand for that, what do we stand for? Plus, it’s a smart strategy to attack your enemy’s strong point

I don’t think people have fully grasped the damage that Trump has done. In a nutshell: our longest & closest allies see us as an existential threat to their sovereignty & way of life. Ask yourself: if our closest allies see as an existential threat, how does China see us?

Just a reminder: Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of England & Governor of the Bank of Canada. He is as moderate & mainstream as they come “In this crisis we have to prepare for America’s threats to our very sovereignty” Why is he talking like this? Bc America has gone totally apeshit crazy

This is CANADA! Not some Eastern European country, or Iran or some other country with a long held animosity against us. Canada! And we fully deserve it.

Talk-show host… a weekend talk-show host!

NYT: “.. Like the other 11 children, Abdo starved to death in the weeks after President Trump froze all U.S. foreign assistance, said local aid workers. .. American-funded soup kitchens in Sudan, including the one near Abdo’s house, had been the only lifelines ..” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/w...

'“If we’re going for going to mobilize, it’s going to be the most prominent, the most well-endowed, the most privileged and protected of us in civil society who have to take the lead,” Levitsky said.'

Exactly!

There are so many ways one could provide context for this data. For example, in the last five years universities have received 52-55% of their research funding from the federal government. That's the lowest percentage since the 1950s. 1/x ncses.nsf.gov/surveys/high...

Is there any doubt left that Alito is a zealot fascist and Thomas is the most corrupt judge in probably the history of SCOTUS? One is a Christofascist and the other can be bought with a fishing trip go Alaska.

Brilliant! Who could possibly benefit from all of that? 🤔
