I got one for you: US MAGA general to his soldiers - Under soft Obama foreign policy we controlled only 1/3th of the world. Don’t despair, under our great new leader tomorrow we’ll control 1/4th, the day after 1/6th and so on… until we control 1/100th of the world !! “ (MAGA crowd cheers widely )

St George’s Day should mean courage, decency and strength of character. Which is why the silence around Prince Harry’s visit to Ukraine is so telling. We hollow out patriotism ourselves when we absorb the poison of the right-wing press and miss the real thing when it appears.

www.theguardian.com/global-devel... I am genuinely glad that the jet pilot is ok, but can someone explain to me why we spent week “worrying” about paid soldier who chose to take part in the war whilst the horrific school bombing disappeared from our coverage the moment US said they’re investigating?

We should have introduced something like this post Brexit…

www.theguardian.com/technology/2... These well rounded, tolerant and knowledgable people on X, who love humanity and all it represents, are exactly the right sample of human race to shape and teach the new emerging intelligence. What can go wrong …

A helpful answer to the timeless question of why there aren't more 'right-wing comedians'...

Hunt … enemy within. So it started - at first with pretence of legitimate reason until there is no pretence left, paranoia has spread and the category of enemy’s within has widened. Not long now before violence is authorised as a tool of control … sorry “protection” of true Americans

For those who have resisted the kremlin mind viruses, thank you!

The moderately rich benefit from a well-structured society and predictable markets. Billionaires are above the need for all but the most basic social structure and see anything else as unnecessary expense and regulation.That's why they're trying to eliminate the administrative state.

Trump's ceasefire means Ukraine stops hitting refineries so my army gets more fuel, in exchange for me bombing more of Ukraine's hospitals.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Though I value the rule of law immensely, I find it difficult to sympathise with the victims in this case…

I doubt Kemi Badenoch came against net zero because of donor money. I suspect she did it because she's an irresponsible ignorant reactionary fool.

“Give us back the Statue of Liberty. It was our gift to you. But apparently you despise her.” The mighty woman with a torch promised a home for the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. “Today, this land is ceasing to be what it was,” French politician Glucksmann said.😢 apnews.com/article/fran...

I had a very productive early performance review with Donald Trump.

Canada is the girl next door who is kind to everyone & is forced to realize that the boy next door (who seemed nice) only wants to fuck her up the ass, steal from her mom's garden, move the property fence, & make her accept subpar health care & education for "their" children. She tells him to F-off.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/... In the week Europe was finally forced to face its existential Defence crisis, the nature provided us with a gentle reminder that the damage we are causing to our planet will be felt across continents whether or not we chose to address it as species …

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

This is shocking. Even by the standards of 2025.

Some (but not enough) bankers have talked tough with Trump over the years, this should be a familiar experience. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is good

Amen

The EU is undergoing a transformation, going from a peace project that grew out of the rubble of the Second World War to a defensive alliance tooling up to prevent a third. Donald Trump still doesn't seem to care.

To sum it up, the worst of us won. We are confronted every day by their never ending villainous behavior.

If only there was some way of knowing why Musk is pushing for elections and “regime change” in Ukraine… but not Russia..

Canada is that boxer that punches above its weight class. We don't brag about our achievements and what we can bring. We don't say we're the best, pound our chest, and talk smack. But put us in the ring, well, we do David vs Goliath things.

Sanctions on Ukraine for defending itself from an invasion by the world's leading nuclear power, yay! Humankind discovers new levels of insanity and stupidity every single day.

I knew last night's Joint Session of Congress looked familiar.

@aoc.bsky.social You guys should all be throwing your shoes tonight. Every 90 second he should have to stop and duck a shoe, two shoes, five shoes from every corner of the chamber

The simple act of booing during Trump’s speech would go a lot farther than standing there in matching outfits or walking out. Stand your ground. Call a traitor a traitor and boo. Silent protest doesn’t work when their goal is to keep you silent. #3E #SOTU

According to Trump and his allies, either Ukraine totally capitulates or it's World War III?

This is offensive to all our brave servicemen and women who fought and died alongside Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan

'Free Speech' latest.

“This is Europe's moment, and we must live up to it” Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission says Europe is "ready to assume its responsibilities" and "step up" following Trump's suspension of US military aid to Ukraine

JD Vance is currently claiming that his obnoxious comments about France & the UK planning to put 20,000 peacekeeping troops on the ground in Ukraine had, wait for it, nothing to do with France & the UK. Doublespeak, dipshit or both?

'I think he's made a decision to abandon Ukraine, whatever happens.' As the US pauses aid to Ukraine, @mrjamesob.bsky.social is concerned that Donald Trump is 'attempting to get his hands on Ukrainian minerals, before throwing Volodymyr Zelenskyy under a bus'.

Trump says he wants peace, yet he’s stopping aid. In reality, he’s just helping Russia keep killing Ukrainians.
