61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me. https://youtu.be/u-kv3wdqqNo?si=Zc3Uh-CJOcODt-RW

Washington Post editorial board, 2 days ago: "The idea that Trump is easily swayed by Putin, let alone manipulated or controlled by him, does not hold water."

Bill Grueskin @bgrueskin.bsky.social · 2h

Shouting match. Cursing.

And this ⤵️

Trump "adopted many of Putin’s talking points verbatim, even when they contradicted his own statements about Russia’s weaknesses..

"Trump told Zelenskyy that Putin had told him the conflict was a 'special operation, not even a war.'”

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia

"If women in yoga pants are confronting ICE you've lost"

"Even wine moms are going to the rally!"

"This is real protesting, not like those women with pussyhats!"

Hey, real quick, why is it that some of y'all can't tweet about women organising without dripping contempt?

cops tackling and marching off with a giant penis, Kristi Noem menacing a chicken she swears is antifa, feds pepper-spraying a frog

ridicule is an extremely effective protest tactic and foil for authoritarianism

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

I'd have paid extra to have Varric+Bull commenting all the reveals! They've probably memorized every single thing Solas ever said during outings, down to the slightest intake of breath. Can't believe I fell for Varric is safe when he should have been muttering “that smug bastard” after each memory 😭

If you want to increase the birth rate you need to give people what they need most:

Universal healthcare
Affordable housing, education and childcare
A universal basic income
Paid time off
Robust public health
Reproductive rights and freedoms

It’s really not that hard.

Starlings are one of Britain's most beautiful birds. With the right light and up close, the colours are amazing. Very underrated!
