When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

America's president is indeed no longer the leader of the free world. America voting with Russia AGAINST a Ukraine UN resolution, Trump telling another lie and Mitch McConnel finally 'growing a pair' when he made this all happen in the first place youtube.com/watch?v=4EZ7...

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

I estimate been to be about equal to this stack. Counting would take too much time away from reading, though #booksky 📚💙 ☕️☕️

True 'cause WTF!!?

Precies drie jaar geleden begon Poetin zijn agressieoorlog tegen Oekraïne, een oorlog die tot op de dag van vandaag talloze levens verwoest. Het is belangrijker dan ooit om solidair te blijven met het Oekraïense volk, in het belang van zowel Oekraïne als onze eigen veiligheid.

A good recap of the moron in chief's rambling soeech. Thanks @jefftiedrich.bsky.social. It's always a pleasure to read your insights www.jefftiedrich.com/p/elderly-go...

Starting this for my online book club. It's been a while since I've read sci-fi. This should be good. One week to finish it, but only 206 pages. I should be fine. #booksky 📚💙 #asimov

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

When someone says they already have a coffee and decline your offer of a coffee. I didn't know that was a thing. After all, 2 coffees is netter than 1. It happened twice this week! I'm still in shock

These are the laughs we all need right now youtube.com/watch?v=GurE...

I can't believe it's been only a month !

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

“I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it’s going very well. But today, I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited.’ Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it…,” Trump said at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. There are no words!

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

An important point to keep in mind.

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social rips Vance apart and for good reasons. What a turd that guy is www.jefftiedrich.com/p/jd-vance-l...

The level of incompetence is staggering Trump administration wants to un-fire some nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them www.cnbc.com/2025/02/15/t...

This week’s news, as seen through the eyes of the world’s political cartoonists. 👇

There is so much good stuff in Twrry Pratchett's books for an econ/business teacher

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

@vox.com has some amazing articles that help make sense of our current world www.vox.com/on-the-right...

"Not well received" and "insulting" are polite ways to say "f**k you" Vance lecturing Europeans in democracy.... And the the idiotic statements on the Ukraine war... This is what you get when you put incompetence in charge youtube.com/watch?v=bcVc...
