The uncertainty and violence in Tanzania are a dangerous moment. We urge all parties to prevent further escalation. The authorities must exercise maximum restraint and respect the right of assembly. Single-party rule is not the way forward for Tanzania. My statement on behalf of the EU ↓

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Strategy is too often an idealised version of the university at odds with the lived experience of those who work there. Good strategy has to start with the problems and it has to be grounded in the reality of the university. It’s education, not spin.

His brain is so badly broken that he really thinks rebranding the Department of Defense would've led to outright victories in Korea and Vietnam. He's hawking the Pentagon like it's Trump Steaks. Probably going to place a glossy ad in Sharper Image next.

I love this trolling of Mango Mussolini. 🤣

I just received an email that included this line 'As part of middle-management with responsibilities for research, education and administration. . ' and now I am ☠️ Shrivelled up like a prune. All creative possibility evaporated from my being.

Drug Enforcement Administration officers patrolling the National Mall. If you know DC you understand how tremendously goofy this is (h/t @lorenzohall1.bsky.social)

The President's attempt to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National Guard on the streets of our nation's capital is an abuse of power.

3. The Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which the British government promised Jews a national homeland within Palestine. It did so in order to secure control of the strategically pivotal, oil-rich region once Lawrence had assisted the Arab Revolt to defeat the Ottomans, under false pretences.

2. The betrayal of those promises with the Sykes-Picot agreement in the same year: waronwant.org/news-analysi...

Literally, every single day 🥲

People getting bent out of shape when Roy mentions prayer really don't understand that the backbone of the Democratic coalition in the South are Black voters. Those are the people who go to church. And tons of white swing voters in North Carolina are Christians. And Roy's a Sunday School teacher.

‘All that remains is a non-sustainable, manipulated asset where speculative frenzy defines its valuation. All manias end the same. Even Beanie Babies.’
