After Trump's bullying of Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, an expert on political communication looks at how #toxicmasculinity and authoritarian tendencies hinder dealmaking, undermine democratic values, and increase global instability. buff.ly/TnOPWZV By Karrin Vasby Anderson, Colorado State

ā€œPerpetrators arenā€™t individual monsters; they are people reflecting a system. We need to address that system.ā€

Are you ready to put away your wallet tomorrow? Iā€™m all in!

Why the US, Tate? What crimes will you and the Trumpians collude over? I anticipate youā€™re being brought in to further fuel the gender war through social media manipulation and coordinated planning. I wonder how this alliance benefits you in the investigation of organised crime and rape!

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

šŸ§µ Reform are trying to make net-zero a weapon in their culture war. Whilst other countries race ahead on climate, Farage is trying to hold Britain backā€¦ šŸ‘‡ Hereā€™s how more countries than ever are embracing the green economy...

Where is the fuc.......NRA with their dead cold hands when you need them?

Putin is a terrorist ā€” so what does that make Trump? An apologist, a sympathiser, a co-conspirator, an ally? If the Republican Party continues capitulating to a usurper king, they betray their own constitution. Their actions contradict their words and values. The world seeā€™s you!

Wow, Rev. Dr. Caleb J. Lines is making it make sense. Also, Iā€™ve recently started reframing ā€˜pro-choiceā€™ as ā€˜pro-forced birth ā€™ā€” it definitely lands differently!

I wish some of the biggest accounts here on Bluesky would use alt text more. It really doesn't take that much time to do. Here's a link to a quick explainer. www.zdnet.com/article/how-...

Seizing the moment: a vision for change. ā€œThe threats are many and deep. But the opportunity is wide; to rebuild the economy in a fundamentally different way and to reset our foreign and security policies for ourselves, freed from a restrictive paradigmā€ - Clive Lewis, MP

The government is busy - but the work is not being reported. From banning toxic pesticides to funding green jobs, here are 20 things that happened last week. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

BBC, you can do better. Portraying EU leaders as ā€˜scramblingā€™ over Ukraine and NATO undermines a strategic response in favour of knee-jerk reactions to Trump, Vance, and Hegsethā€™s inappropriate, antagonistic statements and actions. We donā€™t need pessimism and catastrophising. Report responsibly.

Citizen-led solutions, where institutions fall short: ā€œhalf of the original swab is retained, untested, at the labā€¦real-time reporting of rapes means that perpetrators are being made aware that their name may be on the platform with a future risk of disclosureā€

Neoliberalism drives health disparities and social inequalities, prioritising corporate interests over public needs. Amsterdamā€™s pivot to ā€œdonut economicsā€ shows another path ā€” how open are you to changing the economic system?

Trumpā€™s meeting with Putin in Saudi Arabia highlights a troubling blend of personal business with national policy. Robust anti-corruption reforms and strong public scrutiny are essential in ensuring private interests never take priority over the responsibilities of leadership 1/2
