When it comes to sticking up for Israel, the UK really has got its knickers in a twist. Based on the false assumption that *any* protest against the Israeli genocide is automatically 'antisemitic', they're arresting peaceful people like Stephen Kapos -- an 87 year old Holocaust survivor.

Meanwhile in Gaza, the killings continue as the rest of the world looks the other way.

In one executive order on Thursday, President Trump called for both the restoration of Confederate monuments *and* the removal of “divisive race-centered ideology” from the Smithsonian.

Could his racism be any more blatant?

The Confederates were about as “divisive” as you can get in American history. They literally started a way to divide the nation. And why did they do this? Because they had a “race-centered ideology.” (The Vice President of the Confederacy said “it’s cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the White man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.”)

What Trump is having removed is anything that celebrates people who are not white. And that’s racist. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/28/nx-s1-5343613/trump-executive-order-smithsonian-monuments

@cqd_sos @georgetakei Never has a USA president united the world so much. Against the USA admittedly but hey.

"It begins with pro-Palestinian students and brown-skinned immigrants as the Trump Administration and the MAGA movement are going to abuse their power to silence all their critics and enemies. ...

None of us are safe in the Trump regime."

I've long known that classic Chinese red laquerware was coloured with cinnabar (mercury!).

But #TIL that Chinese yellow laquerware was colour3d with Orpiment (arsenic!).

These pigments were also used by painters through the 19th century.

Seeing Serious People talk about Serious Issues while past-tensing Covid is like playing two truths and a lie.

It's impossible to trust people to deal with issues while they aggressively ignore how repeated, compounded, unimpeded Covid infections have a negative impact on literally all of the issues on this planet.

Now that we're two months in, if you voted for #Trump by either staying home or by marking the ballot for him, here is what you voted for:
--Ethnic transfer in #Gaza
--Handing #Ukraine to #Putin
--War with #Iran, since Putin is willing to trade Iran for Ukraine.
So congratulations. If you voted for Trump, you not only sold out Palestine, you sold out Ukraine and Iran as well. All because Kamala Harris was not pure and holy enough for you.

Fox weekend co-host Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified person ever to hold this position.

Picking him really achieved Trump's goal of owning us libs but it's time to bench this clown.

“Leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica.”

We are so powerful together that they are doing everything to keep us apart.

They are threatening unions, student organizing, neighbors, histories of movements, and our full identities that create powerful communities.

There will always be more of us. That terrifies Empire so it uses intimidation and division to silence and isolate.

We are so powerful together that they are doing everything to keep us apart.

COMMUNITY beloveds. It is our most liberatory path. Stay together.

The Winnipeg Free Press sums it up quite nicely:

“Just a week into the election campaign, the Tories are facing a classic Catch-22.

If Trump reverses course and attacks, Carney has shown he will not buckle.

If Trump remains conciliatory, then Carney looks like the Trump slayer.

Either way, nobody in the White House is reaching out to Poilievre for a phone call.”

State Department spox Tammy Bruce just blatantly lies and says that students are getting visas revoked for "illegal activity" (Rumeysa Ozturk was not charged with a crime)
