Reminds me of the old “I’m sorry I haven’t a clue” calypso…

Today in 1921 a white mob attacked the black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma with guns, aircraft & incendiary bombs. As many as 300 were killed, 10,000 black people were left homeless.

This feels like the defining image from this year’s Midwest Political Science Association annual meeting.

The National Science Foundatipn paid for a booth in the exhibit hall. But the booth sits empty, because NSF has been DOGE’d, and there is no one left to send.

Mega thread from the flawless @timbale.bsky.social Well worth following

Thought a talk I did this week at @EdinburghUni might be of interest to politics students and anyone else who, like me, still thinks the Tories are worth paying attention to. This is Part One of what'll be a mega thread.

Seems like the concept of “Friendly Fire” which might be well-known in some random European countries…

It is difficult to appreciate just how badly JD Vance’s comments are going down with military leaders, families of fallen soldiers & citizens across Europe.

This is the UK’s most popular independent radio station, LBC.

“Wow. A Vice-President who is as dumb as he is aggressive.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

It was interesting during the Truss episode that there was national coverage of her disastrous performance in a succession of local radio interviews, one of the rare occasions where I remember due credit being given to local broadcasters.
