@altnps.bsky.social do you have any data about yesterday's #handsoff demography? Did it skew GenX and Boomer?

Faith and Pilgrimage with Rick Steves - Christianity Today For Rick Steves, travel offers an antidote to the false allure of nationalism, an opportunity to engage with world politics with humility, and for people of faith, a vital connection to our global bro...

Yet again, it’s time to bring up a very important episode of @ricksteves.bsky.social . It’s very much worth your time to check it out and pay attention to how eerily similar it is to our current state of affairs.

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

If you’re in the neighborhood…

He's trying to stoke civil unrest so he can declare Martial Law.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

To the DOJ/FBI who remain,

Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda.

Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials.

It will not work here either.

Proceed accordingly.

The article reported that a former senior Soviet KGB spy chief claimed Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence 38 years ago and given the codename “Krasnov.”

We are not confirming its validity, only pointing out the unusual nature of its disappearance.

Trump’s Zelenskyy tirade proves too much for European leaders to stomach Opposition builds against U.S. president for embracing Russian narrative on Ukraine war.

European leaders have tried to avoid getting into arguments with U.S. President Donald Trump since his reelection. That approach is being tested following his verbal attack on Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Musk is pouring $1.5 million into Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.

If you ask me: an end goal for Musk is to replace federal staff with xAI, which will make him more $$$.

If 🇪🇺 intelligent agencies have hard evidence of Trump's close relationship with Putin, then leak it all. Especially if they have access to the so-called p** tapes.

Brexit was the test run for the 2016 U.S. election interference. Putin is a master tactician, and it's working.

Next time: stand up, turn around, and walk out of a JD (or similar) speech. Also, consider arresting 🇺🇸 felons and/or N*zis when they land on 🇪🇺 soil.

Captures it perfectly.

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say:

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

@georgetakei.bsky.social please stand by to share your experiences in Japanese internment camps during WW II. Americans need to know what so-called "illegal" immigrants are about to go through. 🖖🏼

JD Vance’s Munich speech laid bare the collapse of the transatlantic alliance The US vice-president was hypocritical and insensitive, but bracingly clear in his resetting of relationships

JD Vance’s Munich speech laid bare the collapse of the transatlantic alliance

JD Vance attacks Europe over migration, free speech U.S. vice president stunned the audience with his broadside on the way Europe is run.

US Vice President JD Vance launched a blistering attack on European governments at the Munich Security Conference today, chastising them for ignoring the will of their people.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy.

In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

This is the kind of Boris I can get behind

😂 Would be funny if not so tragic...

Vance-Rede bei MSC: Was das für Europa bedeutet US-Vize Vance stellt die Demokratie in Europa in Frage. Es sei "eine historische Rede" gewesen, ordnet Brüssel-Korrespondent Ulf Röller ein.

Die Rede könnte von einem 15-jährigen pubertierenden Junge-Alternative-Funktionär geschrieben worden sein.

Was die Rede von Vance für Europa bedeutet www.zdf.de/nachrichten/...

"I am not the world's most important and famous deal maker," German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius just said in Munich. "But if I were, I would know that I don't take any essential point of negotiations off the table before the negotiations begin." #MSC2025

Vance’s attack on European democracy in Munich, perversely twisting the language of democracy itself should leave no doubt whatsoever that the aim of this administration is to destroy the EU and its liberal democracies #msc2025

JD Vance now defending free speech as base of democracy when Musk is attacking judges and the rule of law at home and in Europe.
We're living in dystopia. #MSC2025

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
