ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

Just in: Ursula von der Leyen outlines three key elements for any peace plan between Ukraine and Russia:
1) Borders cannot be changed by force
2) There cannot be limitations on the Ukrainian army
3) The centrality of the EU in securing peace for Ukraine must be fully reflected

Ok Bluesky, let’s give this a go: I found this postcard in the back of a photo frame I bought at a London thrift shop.
It’s an unsent postcard from a woman called Linda to her parents. The front shows the Kremlin in Moscow and the stamp says 1984 (!).
I’d love to return it to Linda - can you help?

Let's see if the internet (and Bluesky in particular) can help solve this mystery.
Who can help Ben find "Linda" who appears to be from the UK but traveled to Moscow in 1984 and wrote (but did not send?) this postcard?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Listen carefully to the corporate Democrats who slam Zohran Mamdani's proposals on affordability. What you will hear is they offer no bold alternatives. And the reason is simple: Their corporate donors want them to preserve the status quo. That is why they fund their campaigns.
