The cruelty, the callousness, the indecency. The Trump administration will implode. America will emerge from this dark era of hate, cruelty and indecency. America will rise again. But we ALL need to be in this fight for our future.

Trump's "unconditional discharge" in his NY case - no punishment for his crimes - is a supremely unjust result. Some say it proves justice doesn't matter. I say the frustration, anger & disgust we feel at the absence of punishment for Trump's 34 felony crimes proves that to us, justice DOES matter.

In that week when Musk bought Twitter & started bungling it, the possibility occurred to me that he'd bought it to end its usefulness as a pro-democracy tool. I'm so grateful for BlueSky & the fact that we're all here now & that it's increasing possible to get our news here too!

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X
The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.
"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"
