We are writers for a reason. We want to help people understand the world. It is reasonable that we would like to have some readers, at the end of the day!

I follow so many science journalists and feel I don't see them share much of their stuff - I would love to read! Add to this thread.

🇪🇺 On 29 June 1985, European leaders chose a symbol that would stand the test of time.

Twelve golden stars in a circle.

A powerful symbol of who we are and what we stand for: unity and peace, democracy and solidarity.

Today, we celebrate 40 years of our common flag.

Labour’s strategy seems to be trying to scare progressive voters into voting tactically to keep out Reform UK. This failed in Thursday’s by-election in Shooters Hill ward (Greenwich) where the Greens gained the ward on a huge swing.
I hope whoever thought this leaflet was a good idea is having a moment of reflection today.

Our
@greenwichgreens.bsky.social campaign wins in Shooters Hill and the voters didn't fall for the idea this national poll applied at a local level.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
 
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

I’m going to New York tomorrow and I see that the Trump administration has removed the T from LGBT at #Stonewall National Monument. The fact is that trans people played a HUGE part in the Stonewall riots in 1969. The Trump administration is erasing history. www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm
Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)
Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights a...

I am a 🇺🇸 citizen living in 🇫🇷 🇪🇺. I don’t really buy many 🇺🇸 products (not as a boycott but because I’m generally perfectly happy with 🇪🇺 options). I’m going to 🇺🇸 next week to see family and it’s going to be weird and difficult. This is all going to keep getting worse.

President Trump has expanded his insane trade war to the EU. Aside from retaliatory tariffs from the EU (which I strongly support), I expect that a boycott of US goods by EU consumers will swiftly follow as is already taking place in Canada. 🤦
We regret the unjustified US 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports.

The EU will protect its consumers and businesses.

We are launching swift, proportionate countermeasures worth up to €26 billion, matching the economic impact of the US tariffs.

I know that Reform may fancy their chances in the #Runcorn #byelection but I wouldn’t write off Labour. Look at the Liberal recovery in the polls in Canada. Labour leaflets can carry pictures of Putin and say “THIS GUY is hoping you vote Reform.”

Just when you think President Trump can’t sink any lower, he manages to surprise and reach a whole new depth. I hope that the UK and EU open their doors to these 240,000 Ukrainian victims of President Trump.
Trump plans to revoke legal status of the 240,000 Ukrainians who took refuge in the United States.

Every act of cruelty and pressure, short of kinetic violence for now, is being meted out by the criminal who rules America, against a friendly nation that is under attack.
🔊 Today on Reuters World News:

- Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US
- After a murder, cartels loom over Mexico’s new system of electing judges
- US retailers publicly scrap some DEI initiatives, quietly support others reut.rs/41TEcMV

I agree with Senator Kim. The UK 🇬🇧 should take note of Kim’s realistic take on President Trump’s lack or real commitment to NATO.
Andy Kim: "I don't think America would actually fulfill its NATO requirements."

Wow this article says that President Macron is going to propose that France up its defence spending to 5% of GDP. As a 🇺🇸 citizen living and working in France I’m happy to help pay tax for that given the disgraceful conduct of President Trump.

This is the expression that a longtime friend makes when you ask in shock if they voted for Trump. #WhiteLotus

30,000,000 Bluesky accounts. Every one of us should be flying the Ukrainian flag. It’s a modest but visible act of support, as well as resistance.

What is happening in Iowa to trans rights is sad and infuriating. I went to college in Iowa in the 1990s and was a summer intern for the great progressive Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa. How far the state has fallen since then. 😡
The Iowa legislature just became the first in modern history to repeal a statutory civil rights law by removing protections for gender identity first passed in 2007. They have legalized discrimination against trans people in housing, healthcare, and employment.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Have started getting my documents together for French naturalisation. There is a “dossier” to be done for anything important in France and the one for naturalisation will take months to compile. For example, I need an apostilled and officially translated copy of my parents’ marriage license.
