Lots of Bluesky vs Twitter chat today, so let me just point out that Bluesky is not currently awash with accounts trying to monetise and weaponise footage of a horrific incident in Liverpool, nor indeed is it full of deliberate disinformation about that incident. So that's something.

For anyone who wants a concise, unbiased, and penetrating summary of the current state of our democracies, Gaza etc I highly recommend Carne Ross’s Youtube “briefings” youtu.be/_MbqGXQA8bo?...

This apparently is not a parody - comes from @theguardian.com After Trump’s criticism of Boardman, the White House had been sent a new work from Moscow, which was a “personal gift” from Vladimir Putin. Witkoff described the picture as a “beautiful portrait” by a “leading Russian artist”.

“They are both incompetent and cruel.” The worst combination in a bureaucracy possible. The government is kidnapping people and sending innocent people to the gulag. Is this America? It could happen to YOU.

Obviously he should be impeached and removed.
The failure to do so immediately is cataclysmic.

Indeed. This isn't the end of globalisation, as I may have said about a million times. It is populist trade politics ignoring the world as it is. And if the UK is afraid of the US then we can't be an open trade leader or significantly deepen EU trade relations.

Disaster of a front page for Trump. The economic chaos. The golf trip. His gormless mind-deadened face gazing out from it.
I often give MSM headline-writers/editors a hard time on framing of political news.
So now a note of compliment to hed-writers + photo and layout editors who put together today's WSJ print front page. (h/t @jorgeguajardo.bsky.social )
If Dickens or Dreiser were writing this, would seem overdone

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
