Advances of @danielmendelsohn.bsky.social’s translation of The Odyssey have arrived, and this is a gorgeous piece of book making. Cover and case design by Matt Avery of Monograph. In bookstores everywhere April 9, or get it direct from @uchicagopress.bsky.social. press.uchicago.edu/index.html

Zelenskyy has huge balls. Doing this all right in front of the press. Honestly the first bit of inspiring media I've seen in a long time.

Appalling and revealing.

I hope Zelensky adheres to the terms of this treaty as firmly as Trump abides by any of the agreements he signs — ie not at all.

One after the other, western leaders line up to to kiss Trump’s a$$ and one after the other gets his hopes dashed. It’s time to play hardball with this monster.

What a mess of misunderstanding and failure on the American side. Why even bother with the charade of the fentanyl czar.

Headline should have been “Russian agent destroys USA’s relationship with northern neighbour utterly and forever.”

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil.”

Funny how this headline sounds like an apt political metaphor 🇺🇦🇨🇦

New polling from Leger suggests only 30% of Canadians view the US as an ally, with a near-similar share viewing our neighbours to the south as an enemy nation I break it down here 👇 open.substack.com/pub/canadian...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Repugnant.

Why don’t they just say “concentration camps”

The Trump administration’s attacks on the LGBT community (esp the trans community) in the US are abhorrent. Their actions risk an increase in hate crimes and will marginalize 🏳️‍🌈 ppl while endangering US security by purging the military. All ppl of good conscience must oppose the actions of DJT.

Hopefully Canada beats Russia tonight. #hockey #USA #Canada #nations

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

From the article: 'He added, “This post is for any LGBT folks who think that the Trump admin isn’t targeting our entire community. Expect moves to remove us from antidiscrimination laws, plus lawsuits aimed at giving the Supreme Court the chance to overturn decisions that gave us rights.”'

This remains the defining tweet of the Trump era

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

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

No one can trust the US. Not Ukrainians, not Canadians, not Americans. Putin? Maybe.

Neville Chamberlain, to do him justice, never amplified under his own byline Hitler's propaganda against the Czechs

A day after Trump falsely claimed that Ukraine "started" the war that Russia launched against it, Zelensky says the U.S. president is “living in a disinformation space” and in a “circle of disinformation.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

A shameful betrayal. The USA is an ally to no one.

Shame on every "journalist" writing shit like this. Shame.
