The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏

Time for some hopscotch civil disobedience. Dance D.C.! Dare the fascists and have fun while you do it 💃🕺

Alright It's getting a bit much 😭

The tiktoker who times herself doing chores she's been putting off has done more for my mental health than most therapists. Cigna, pay her!

"At Anchorage, therefore, the Trump administration seemed to be trying to do more (reach a final settlement) with less (giving up the stick of economic pressure on Russia)." Great article!

#Putin getting the welcome he deserves in #Anchorage #Alaska this afternoon.

Now: Union Station in Washington, D.C.

Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.

🕸️ Hundreds of lives saved. Millions in damage prevented. Don’t let us hit the brakes. In recent months, we’ve been sending dozens of truckloads each month filled with discarded flower bulb and fishing nets to the front lines in Ukraine. (1/6)

It's time for bold thinking and commitments from Democrats. Step one will be getting over how uncomfortable some of them will make some of us. So here's a start. 25 of the kind of ideas we need to consider. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Amazing. After nearly losing her house, and being locked away in a legal battle for years because of one innocuous line in her last TED Talk, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social returns to the Lion’s Den, and calls out the Broligarchs This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

On Musk's old-fashioned, backwards-looking futurist/techno-authoritarian ideas, all borrowed from failed thinkers of the 20th century from Jill Lepore www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/o...

"The latest, record leap in honeybee losses is now being investigated by staff at the US Department of Agriculture ... however, cuts in staff numbers by Donald Trump’s administration has required Cornell University to step in" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is a beautifully written story about something I would never be able to do.

The two places Trump wants - Greenland and Canada - share a land border. They fought the so-called Whisky War over it for almost half a century, and it was basically adorable.

Egg-diplomacy didn't work out with European countries so here you go, have some pet food eggs from Brazil. Happy Easter everyone!

Did Jackie the bald eagle for Big Bear Valley swallow a fish hook? She was franticly shaking her head, rubbing her beak on a branch and I believe I saw a fishing line dangling from her beak 😨😱 www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L...

There is something about the inefficiency of DOGE and Musk that reminds me of The Ministry of Information and Mr Kurtzmann. Can't put my finger on it.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xNn...

watched this like 8 times and laughed harder every time (sound up)

‼️How Kremlin planned to kidnap and kill our editor-in- chief Roman Dobrokhotov and chief investigator Christo Grozev. Exclusive report.

NYT: Mr. Duffy said the young staff of Mr. Musk’s team was trying to lay off air traffic controllers. What am I supposed to do? Mr. Duffy said. I have multiple plane crashes to deal with now, and your people want me to fire air traffic controllers? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...

Trump apparently did his own research ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

If you were a Russian agent somehow installed as US president with orders to cripple the US, what would you do differently?

Terrific 🧵 N.B. the Foreign Policy article can only be read once before disappearing behind a pay-wall.

I know it sounds like the ultimate editor-nerd-Stephi thing to have a favorite typo, but...

I agree it's astonishing. If you haven't seen his inaugural speech after his victory, it's worth your time - It may be 20/20 hindsight but I do think the statesmanship is clearly there on day one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrpF...

I've seen a number of Americans express surprise at the universality of British condemnation of Trump's treatment of Zelenskyy, coming as it does from both the left and right of the British political spectrum. Let me explain. A short 🧵.

This is quite extraordinary. Read the whole thread.

Don't know if I should 🙂 or ☹️ I'll go with 🙃 and a deep sigh.

"I'm Not a Robot": Dutch director wins Oscar for best short film. You can watch the whole film, with subtitles, on Youtube. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VrL...

"In sum: I think the US will keep having free elections, but they will very possibly no longer qualify as fair, in a near future. Media capture, oligarchic support, government persecuting opposition, these are all in the cards and/or starting to happen."

EU citizens can order free stickers to stick on Tesla's or charging stations 👇 and donate to the cause. www.stopelon.eu

Boom! 💣 🥊 💥

I think Europe should get the ‘raw earths’

The speech by Finland's president 4 days ago is also worth the watch. "There are 3 things that are off the table in these negotiations (between US-RU & not up to Russia): - EU membership - NATO membership - Ukraine's border security". Very gifted speaker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgsZ...

This absolutely broke me. #SlavaUkraine🇺🇦 🧵(1/3)

I really need the police to solve Gene Hackman’s death before a podcast tries to do it

Charlie's & Adam's outrage was somehow soothing for me. I'd add that the moment T & V (🤔) exploded was the moment Zelenskyy reminded Trump that Putin didn't respect agreements WHILE Trump was president. Trump didn't intervene then and to T implied T is weaker than Pu. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrsS...

How do you explain wearing a bulletproof vest in the Oval Office?

😭 😭 😭 This was at an event marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and just 8 months ago!! Saw it multiple times at the time, such a beautiful moment, that kiss. Now it's on a loop with the sleeve of my T-shirt making do.

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/ Slava Ukraini.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Il y a un agresseur : la Russie de Poutine. Il y a un agressé : le peuple ukrainien. Face à cela et pour notre sécurité collective, une nécessité : l’Europe, maintenant. Le temps des mots est révolu, passons aux actes.

🇪🇺 🇺🇦 The European Parliament is lighting up in the colours of the Ukrainian flag to show its commitment and solidarity with the country and its people. As we mark three years since the start of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression, we continue to #StandWithUkraine.

People in the EU are now putting up stickers that read, “Elon Musk is attacking the European Union. Boycott Tesla,” and “Elon, stay away from the EU.” These stickers, featuring EU flags and a link to StopElon.eu, appear on public EV chargers and other visible spots.

I just donated and ordered stickers for free!! gofund.me/28cf611e
