Who thinks there will be any accountability for this betrayal of an ally?
Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 14h agoMan, if Putin had told Trump exactly what he wanted the US to do to help Iran and Russia and hurt Ukraine, it would have been exactly what Trump did in his war. This is a Russian strategic dream we are watching.
I'd like to thank Donald for all he did ti help make this possible.
The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com · 12h ago⚡️Update: Russian ballistic missile attack kills 15, injures 51 in Kyiv and surrounding area as rescue efforts continue. A massive Russian attack killed 15 people and injured 51 others in Ukraine's capital and Kyiv Oblast as fires engulfed Kyiv and its suburbs, authorities reported Aug. 5.
This is a war crime. This is attempted murder. This guy isn’t an enemy combatant. This is some Russian POS controlling a drone to try and murder someone, anyone. Russia is a terrorist state lead by a homicidal terrorist.
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
This could very well be the most important story in politics for the last decade and a half. Please read and share this equally harrowing and illuminating account by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social of just how dark the money in politics pit really goes. Absolutely mind blowing.

I wrote a thing! My take on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is up at @foreignpolicy.com foreignpolicy.com/2026/07/23/o...
Odysseus at the End of Civilization
Nolan’s film confronts the betrayal of the West’s own values.

I will not negotiate away anybody’s human rights and I will oppose any politician who thinks that is an ok stance. I don’t care what party. If you’re going to support democrats who oppose transgender humanity the entire thing isn’t worth fighting for. The line must be drawn.

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
this whole world cup Argentina have been advancing inexorably like a seemingly unstoppable monster in a horror movie, so congratulations to Spain for defeating them in the last minutes of the film with a Final Goal.
Thank you! I heard that interview years ago and have been struck recently about how rigidly he's sticking to it. The ONLY surprise with Trump is that he didn't do this all first time around.
jaimi.bsky.social@jaimi.bsky.social · 3w agoAnd I’m going to point out again that—like invading Iran to begin with— this has been part of Trump’s stated foreign policy doctrine since the Eighties, together w “taking the oil”, tariffs, dumping allies/joining Russia instead, & replacing “weak” diplomats w businessmen: slate.com/news-and-pol...
Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.
My excuse is I wasn't alive for quite a lot of that time.
Ned Hartley@nedhartley.com · 3w agoIf you do go and see the Odyssey please no spoilers. Some of us haven’t had time to read the book in the last 3000 years.
I'm old enough to remember when the entire British right had a month long meltdown about "foreign interference" when Obama said something mildly disobliging about Brexit. The Trump administration pouring millions of dollars into far right political groups in the UK? Not a peep
So Andy Burnham is in charge, eh? I went on The Daily Politics with him, back in the day, when I was a school governor. While they were airing the 'packet' we'd recorded at the school, he leaned over and said 'Nice school, reminds me of where my kids go.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-p...

Unfair comparison. It should be molletes (refried beans on a crusty roll, topped with melted cheese and a sprinkle of pico) v beans on toast with grated cheddar cheese and a drizzle of HP sauce. And frankly, that's a closer contest.

A Ukrainian flag hangs in a shattered window after yet another night of Russian terror in Kyiv, Ukraine. Russia's latest massive attack on the capital killed at least 21 people and injured 100 more. This is the reality Russia continues to inflict on Ukrainian civilians every day.
This is the thing. Because the anti-immigrant movement is based on a series of lies and illusions about what Britain is, was, and should be, there is literally no way to satisfy them.
Arthur Snell@snellarthur.bsky.social · last mo.Labour can threaten a £10k charge on migrants and still it’s never enough for the hard right. Perhaps there’s a lesson here? 🤔
