Congratulations, Canada! 🇨🇦 Ensuring that Poilievre not only doesn’t become PM but also making him lose his seat? Brilliant.

This is absolutely ridiculous - and would mean that suppliers would have to break national anti-discrimination laws to comply with this #uspolitics

US embassies tell suppliers to comply with Trump ban on diversity policies
The instructions have been sent to a wide range of firms, a Spanish official said, including those supplying the homes of U.S. embassy staff with water, gas and electricity, to newspapers to which embassies subscribe, and catering suppliers.

The memorial to the murdered members of the Reichstag in Berlin (more info in the alt text)

#photography #history #memorials #blackandwhite
The memorial to the members of the Reichstag who were murdered during the Third Reich in Nazi Germany. 96 cast iron plates, each with a the name of a person (90 men, 6 women), their birth year, and where and how they died (if known). This memorial doesn’t represent all of the representatives who died as for example they didn’t count the people who killed themselves in response to the pressures they were put under.

Everybody should watch this “support video” from Wired. @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social’s clear and concise replies are brilliant.
Also, everyone should follow her as well as professors @jbf1755.bsky.social, @hcrichardson.bsky.social, and @timothysnyder.bsky.social

I’ve already scrapped my plans to return to the States for a longish visit this year. Nobody I know over here is even thinking about going, not in these times …

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.

Taking back our power starts now.

Attacking knowledge, information, learning, science, libraries, schools: to keep people clueless and compliant.

Fight back: read, speak out, communicate, learn, and share with others.

Walking from Portugal to Spain and back. Came across this old border marker. I love the EU’s non-existent borders.

As requested
An image of LeVar Burton as ‟Star Trek’s” Geordi La Forge holding up his hand with his head turned and eyebrows raised, signaling he does not want to hear any more, next to an image of Harrison Butker’s 2024 controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College. Below these, there’s another image of Geordi now with an approving nod and smile, pointing and signaling to continue, next to an image of Chris Kluwe speaking out against MAGA at a 2025 Huntington Beach city council meeting.
