51 years ago, at the age of only 26, fabulous guitarist, songwriter and singer #NickDrake passed away. He had only recorded three albums, but by now they have become a cult to music lovers the world over.

Here is my new tribute to him: "Things Behind The Sun".

There is a #ceasefire in #Gaza on paper. But for #Palestinians, little has changed. Meanwhile, violence by #Israel i military & settlers is escalating in the #WestBank — with complete impunity.

The actions of the Israeli government require consequences, not just criticism.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.

Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

So according to Trump, the #BBC has a "leftist political agenda".

Interesting. How did we not notice that throughout the Gaza genocide?

(Spoiler alert: And in Springfield, Haitian migrants are eating cats and dogs. Bet you did not know that either.)

Hey @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @eudiplomacy.bsky.social - Do you notice #Tunisia 's fall in authoritarianism, with 0 reaction from your side? Is a more repressive country in #EU's interest?

Speechless Europe has for sure no leverage.

Hitler said he would make Germany great again. He left it invaded, in ruins, and with millions dead. Mussolini promised to restore the glory of the Roman empire.

Never trust politicians who promise to make your country great again.

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.
Yesterday, the Indiana Senate defeated HB 1032 — the proposal to redraw congressional districts mid-decade following a months-long pressure campaign from Washington.

Lawmakers listened. Hoosiers spoke up. We’re grateful to everyone who helped defend it. Thank you for staying engaged.

For months, we've sought details about the shadowy deal the Trump Admin made with the Salvadoran govt to imprison people in the notorious CECOT prison — where they faced torture & other human rights abuses.

Yesterday, I got the official who signed the deal to publicly admit it for the first time.

Shame on Rep. Clay Higgins & shame on anyone who thinks this is acceptable.
This man didn’t just cast the lone “no” vote on exposing a global sex-trafficking network… he also grabbed a citizen for daring to ask a question he didn’t like. I hope this young man presses charges.

The next President of the U.S.A. (should there ever be one) will have a major job to fix the country.

Starting with getting rid of all this Home Depot fake gold shit in the Oval Office.

So #ABC is 'radical left'.

I really feel for all the radical left. Where does this leave them? Please seek counselling before doing something erratic!
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."
