Egypt, Russia’s biggest stolen-grain customer pledges to buy Ukrainian wheat instead. Russia has exploited Ukrainian industries in occupied territories to export wheat to select countries, sidestepping Western sanctions. *These operations have allowed Moscow to keep profiting* from occupied regions

Trump's war crime campaign, explained by an expert open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

We know it’s true— just awaiting the proof

Trump is so unhinged that I am now looking at posts from the speaker of the Iranian parliament and thinking, "He is not wrong".

Yes!!!!

I really just hated everything about the Mastodon experience, and I won’t be going back there. Also, I just spent the weekend with most of the Bluesky team in person at the ATproto conference: they are absolutely not Nazis or secret crypto bros.

I'm the son of an anchor baby. My mother was born in Philadelphia during a short period when her mother & father, my grandparents, were here working. Age 9 months Mom went back to their home country & she returned to USA, a U.S. citizen, age 22, after WW2. Her mother, brothers & sisters followed. 1/

Cats and dogs for me.❤️

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

Folks, I give you the New York Times

Extremely jealous of Artemis II for being so far from earth.

No money for Healthcare. Childcare. Elder care. SNAP. Education. The list goes on. Plenty of money for the Pentagon i.e. the sow. When will it be enough for America to rise up. #SheShed #RiseUp

The Weighing JANE HIRSHFELD So few grains of happiness measured against all the dark and still the scales balance. The world asks of us only the strength we have and we give it. Then it asks more, and we give it. Full poem: poets.org/poem/weighing #poetry

Tr*mp is named in the Epstein files over 1 million times. The FBI & members of Congress KNOW he raped children. So, those with the power to do something about it are either being threatened not to or theyre complicit. Either way, the fact that he’s not being held accountable is beyond unacceptable.

An energy shock that once felt distant is starting to look very real as the war in Iran spirals … and the EU is considering a Covid-style crisis response. www.politico.eu/podcast/brus...

Oh, that sounds glorious—there’s something how a whisper of tone can wake up every nerve ending.

@lisasass.bsky.social In 1970 friends asked if I would let someone use my studio apartment to assemble a harpsichord. It was fun to see his progress each day’s end. He went so far as to do beautiful tole painting on the inside of the soundboard. Maybe only the 2 of us ever saw it.

@lisasass.bsky.social Heard a fortepiano performance of Franz Schubert’s Piano Sonata in B-flat major, D. 960 by in February at UofUtah. The audience was invited to come forward afterwards to look and play the instrument. (2nd season of concerts for me) www.novaslc.org/concerts/202...

Music leads to connections of people and places. Sometimes it is the backstories of the musicians and more often personal, who-what-why-when signposts of our lives. A voice & piano hook from ‘71. youtu.be/oyct2Y7yShA

Jerome Powell says it’s too soon to fully assess Iran war’s impact which is code for its spring time and you should start growing your own vegetables.
