A gift from Stockholm. Please share.

On my way to Christos to fed my moussaka craving this morning after the Art Museum and walked by the the memorial for Mr. Pretti - Minneapolis has not forgotten you sir. Rest in peace knowing you are greatly respected and lovingly remembered.

Was so taken by the beauty and intricacy of this cup. I wish I had noted the date but it was BCE in Iran and I just found this so compelling. I wonder what Western ‘civilization’ was up to 2000 years ago? 🤔Thank you Minneapolis Inst. of Arts - you keep me coming back.

What a country can do when it has competent leadership. Good for you Canada.

‘Kitchen table champions’ 👍🏻

The Iranian Embassy in South Africa weighs in:

Sure. What could possibly go wrong with this, cuz no other countries would take advantage of this opportunity to strike us where we are not defended.

I'm not claiming to be a hero, but with every Cadbury MiniEgg I eat, that's a dog not getting chocolate poisoning. I've saved so many dogs.

An elist take on MAGAland. It's well phrased and generally true, as far as it goes, but cold comfort.

Why does Trump want to increase the defense budget by almost 50%? Because he sees it as a payoff to the guys who will help him establish his dictatorship of convenience.

“Sayz” He said “sayz” instead of says. Incredible they couldn’t get him to do a retake.

The Trump budget calls to eliminate the Native Hawaiian education program but doesn't eliminate the Alaskan Native education program. What's the difference, you might ask? One state voted for him, and one didn't.

Plus, one of the reasons he reportedly did this purge is he's already worried Trump will replace him. And the (partly deserved) scapegoating of Whiskey Pete for failing to plan for Iran's response has only just began.

Elon Musk had DOGE defund USAID, the largest humanitarian organization in the world, causing HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of deaths from starvation and disease - and Trump GLEEFULLY approved it. It’s the single most evil act in US history. Cartoon by Mike Luckovich

Defeatism? We don’t know her. Our community support-based campaign model demonstrates a new model for politics and engaged a record number of young voters. Now we’re not just going to keep doing that work. We’re helping campaigns across the country do the same.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

pro tip for the chronic illness girlies who keep forgetting whether they took their medication or not: put the bottle upside down when you go to sleep, put it back right side up when you wake up :)

If we bought a few less bombs, we could probably afford nice things. One thing I'd like to see from the next presidency would be to appoint a special commission to prepare a report on the actual cost to defend the United States from attack. Not foreign wars. Just the cost to defend this country.

The most crooked AG in history got fired today. Not because she was crooked. Because she wasn’t good enough at it.

NYT reports Hegseth is firing generals because they won’t take Black/female officers off the promotions list.🤔 In the middle of a war. 🎪

This is a very important lesson

Interrupted prime time programming to do a live, spoken, Truth Social post.

Strengthen Union rights if you want to be woker-centered, public and private - no more 'Right to work' (for less) laws.

Short attention spans did not begin with our TikTok era. Recall when a Roman demanded of Rabbi Hillel, “Teach me the entire Torah as I stand on one foot.” Hillel responded, “That which you find hateful, do not do to others, the rest is commentary.” www.jewishobservernashville.org/article/2025...

Or, wages are too low. Bring back unions. They don't just lift their own wages & benefits. They lift all workers wages & benefits. That's why the powerful hate them & go to such lengths to destroy them. It's power & until the workers have more power everything they 'get' will be seen as a gift.

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This is so terrible for morale and chain of command. Hegseth is undermining the system that supports military order and discipline - for a whim. So destructive.

It's a choice. It can be done, because it has been done.

How old were the 'prostitutes'? Because if they were minors, they weren't prostitutes, they were abuse victims and this was rape.

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

There’s good historical reason to worry that an authoritarian government leader collecting a registry of Jews, under the pretext of protecting Jews, while that leader has referred to Jews as “disloyal,” may not end up so well for The Jews. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Golden retriever runs 15 feet after owner mimes throwing tennis ball

Fascinating ..

We are alien beings to them. Unfathomable in what we value and hold dear. Incomprehensible in our willingness to risk our very wellbeing to fight for those same values.

Wow. Great interview.
