Proudly South African political junkie who stands with Ukraine. 'Smile', they said. 'Things could be worse'. So I did, and they are.

I took my son for a walk this morning. Beautiful, peaceful, safe. In Ukraine, parents have to worry about Russian drones targeting their children The only difference between us is where we were born. We should be helping Ukraine defeat Putin. Instead, Trump is giving Russia another lifeline.

Was there a hint of 'F*ck Trump' in the Nobel Prize committee's decision to award Prize to Navi Pillay? An ICC judge AND a South African. @hollybfletcher.bsky.social

If you think Trump handing a multibillion $ gift to Putin that will help Russia continue to wage war on Ukraine, doesn't make sense...then you're not paying attention. It is Trump doing what he always does, putting Putin and Russian interests ahead of America's and our allies.

1 month to US midterms. In approx 3 weeks, Trump will engineer at least one fake crisis, declare state of emergency and cancel election: * foiled Iranian terror attack * foiled asassination attempt * Chinese election hacking * imminent invasion from Greenland

Can we just come together as English speakers and decide that “data” is not plural for the purposes of verb conjugation? It never sounds normal

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

Trump doing this to @jimmykimmel is honestly a better reminder of the stakes of this election than anything @jamestalarico was going to say. And more people will watch the interview now.

Whenever we are finally able to unravel all the details of the Venezuelan oil theft to uncover all the bribes, kickbacks and corruption by American and Venezuelan politicians, greedy oligarchs & swindlers it’s going to make Trump’s $2 billion crypto scam look like an appetizer.

I think the general consensus of people around the world is that Americans can get fooled by a con man once, but to return him to power a 2nd time after having seen his corruption, incompetence, ignorance, & buffoonery, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s the American people.

Someone in the White House spent time today preparing an eo to rename Lake Ontario. The president spent time signing it. In economic terms, was the opportunity cost negative because they could have been doing something more important? Or positive, because they didn’t do something even dumber?

I would like to be the first to continue using the actual name of the Lake Ontario. Perhaps a summer vacation spot for next year (north shore!). Trump's tantrums are getting more desperate and pathetic with every passing minute.

@hollybfletcher.bsky.social some trivia on the SA national anthem, nKosi Sikelele Afrika. 5 languages: isiZulu,isiXhosa,seSotho, Afrikaans,English. It was used as a protest song during apartheid although it is a hymn, meaning God Bless Africa.

As a present to the Russian embassy in DC for UA Independence Day, I am planning to make a giant arch of 500 blue and yellow balloons for display at the #GatesOfHell. Anyone in the DMV who wants to help me inflate and hang balloons should join me at Wisconsin and Edmunds NW at 5:00 pm on Sunday.
