“Trans people are less than 1% of the population. Trans people are not the reason you can't afford eggs, or pay your rent. I think you might be focused on the wrong 1%.” - Bristol Central MP @carladenyer.bsky.social quotes Laverne Cox at trans rights demo in Bristol today.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Why are so few people talking about this?
Either they don’t know, or they’re pretending not to know
…and I don’t know which is worse.

I must say, I am in Lithuania right now and every single person here knows this. You can feel it in your muscles and your bones. Putin is right there. Is NATO real if America hates you?
Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.
Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.
Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.
This is unbelievable.

Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war.
Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

All pretences dropped now. The US government has shifted its allegiances to Russia, and the entire basis of our security, tied as it was to an illusory special relationship, has just gone overboard.

This is real (at least in the US). It's not one of those stupid things where you put an idiotic statement on your FB page declaring something illegal. I just checked it on FB settings and it had a list of every website I visited recently. Fucking weird. The future kind of sucks.
UM, I had NO idea facebook was tracking everything I did on the internet. EVERYTHING. I have diligently blocked and followed all ways to try to stop this messed up social media from taking from me, but this is the final straw… THESE JERKS! AGH! [screenshots on how to do it in the comments]

Hi @sophyridge.bsky.social I realise this is not your personal responsibility but can you encourage colleagues to improve captioning on news items? Watching the Zelensky interview, the caption accuracy rate is poor. This excludes a lot of viewers #disability #inclusion
