The Norwegian Football Association donated all proceeds and ticket revenues (totaling over $350,000) from their World Cup qualifying match against Israel to Doctors Without Borders for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Guess which team I’m rooting for . . .

This Aussie is spot on, it will take years or decades to get rid of capitalism from the government. It’s not just Trump, it’s everything behind him, oligarchs, money, corruption, corporations etc. How can we fix this?

True. ICE is irredeemable. Start over.

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS: At least 17 people have already died in ICE custody this year. This is state-sanctioned violence, not 'immigration enforcement.' We need to defund & abolish ICE NOW. Our immigrant siblings deserve dignity, safety & freedom. Stand up and demand justice.

bsky.app/profile/mjfr... And since 1/ 6, it’s just kept going. Insider trading. Epstein denying. Lying,. Illegal war-starting. Abandonment of allies. Foul-mouthed stupidity. Collusion with Russia. Polluting DC with his name and image. Dereliction of duties. Certain dementia.

The collection reflects images of Christ/Jesus I had, was given, or came to understand in childhood, youth, and adulthood, whether true or false, helpful or unhelpful. Here is a taste of that work.

Why we need the arts in schools and in our lives.

Pru Madeley@prum.bsky.social

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Good grief.

REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president? LEAVITT: The president is attending it in his personal time

The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.

Please remember this man, too. What he must be suffering because of this administration’s hatred and incompetence.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 63 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

This has been done in other European countries as well. The hubris and stupidity of this move is incomprehensible. We have become the idiots of the world.

Did the IDF see this as target practice? Where does such moral vacuity come from? Such hatred?

This replica of the car in which 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab was killed while fleeing Gaza City with her family last year was displayed in Bradford, UK, on what would have been her 7th birthday. The original vehicle was shot 335 times by Israeli forces.

The Gaza Government Media Office says famine is spreading in the besieged enclave, with “more than a million children at risk, amid a stifling blockade and shameful international silence." 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/t6uw6a

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.
