Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.
BREAKING: At least 24 people are dead and 54 wounded after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began in October, officials say.
Israel launches strikes in Gaza ceasefire's latest test as hospitals say 20 killed
Israel's military says it has launched new airstrikes against Hamas militants in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began on October 10.

Why do police still ask “Do you know how fast you were going?” when they already have radar?

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives.
Stay strong.

“Fascism,” “authoritarianism” and “populism” are bandied about, but they fail to adequately reflect how conservatives in North America seek and hold power. @crof.bsky.social writes.

Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who, 60 years ago, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, risking everything for the right to vote and the promise of true freedom. Their courage paved the way, and it’s on us to keep pushing forward.

👇 An excellent summary of Trump and Musk's backstories.
It’s striking how similar Trump and Elon Musk actually are. Both got money from dad & started on 3rd base, both were more ruthless than intelligent, & both had fake and manufactured reputations, one thru a TV show & the other thru spin that he was “the real Tony Stark“ when he never built anything.

This is the most viral Bluesky post we've ever had 🤯
Last year, the U.S. government debated then followed through on banning TikTok.
They said an app owned by someone close to an autocratic leader might be used as propaganda.
From a Canadian perspective, these concerns apply to the app formerly known as Twitter, writes @djclimenhaga.bsky.social.

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister.
Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

It’s been pointed out for a long time how inappropriate it is to call U.S. citizens “Americans” since every nation in North and South America has the same claim to that word. But I think many, including me, went along with it out of respect.
Is that still warranted?

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Wow.
I already looked at Zelenskyy as a hero for standing up to Putin's invasion. Even more today watching him stand firm and speak reality, while Trump & Vance shout at him, and shit on him publicly like playground bullies.
Then Trump PRAISES Putin openly while Vance nods like a dimwit.
Grotesque!
