Today I watched 'What They Found', a documentary film directed by Sam Mendes, which cuts together interviews with British Army cameramen with footage they shot following the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, in April 1945. A thread 🧵 #history

Just finished Daughters of Night by @laurasrobinson.bsky.social Absolutely wonderful. Are we ever going to see Peregrine Child or Caro again in print? Would love a TV series with these characters in.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social second episode of @alexpodyssey.bsky.social is wonderful. I knew nothing about Orpheus and Eurydice before this. So much to think about. I was not prepared for that final sentence however, Alex, so the tears came. Loving this podcast. 💙

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau: "Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

When Donald Trump says Zelensky “isn’t ready for peace” - what he really means, is Zelensky isn’t ready to ‘surrender’.
