I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

Is it time to end the "Special Relationship" yet Kier?

Sen. Adam Schiff @schiff.senate.gov · 2d

The president has made no secret of his enemies list.

But we will not be intimidated.

We will not be deterred.

We will do our jobs and continue fighting back against these attempts at retribution.

Women don't like you because you're an arsehole, not because they're women. Think on.

WHAT IF SOMEONE FORCED THESE SO-CALLED MEN INTO THE SAME SITUATION.

Pat Robertson, mentally ill. "KILL their children, leave their husbands, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism & become a lesbian" Because they're proud to be a female.
This is not being a man, or "Masculinity". It's sick

maybe if these rich old white guys didn't make everything so damn expensive, "Mom" could stay home and look after the kids (presuming that she wanted to, God having given us all free will and that). FFS!

I've no idea why World Leaders like Keir Starmer (to his eternal shame) are allowing Trump to behave. Appeasement didn't work in 1939 and it won't work now.

Yes! Yes, you do!

The whole world is watching, and we are shaking our heads in disbelief that such a wonderful awe-inspiring country could turn to crap in such a short period of time, all due to one low-life pedo-creep felon and his regime.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Stella Creasy MP @stellacreasy.bsky.social · 7d

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

I wish there were a care response. What's happening in America is awful. I feel like the World Leaders are enabling and appeasing instead of helping. Good Luck.
