After - centuries - of misogyny, today I heard a politician being described as, 'A pair of eyelashes and a black t-shirt'. It happened to be about a man this time. But to reduce ANY politician to 1 physical feature & an item of clothing really isn't acceptable, regardless of gender.

#WHO chief in #DRC amid #Ebola outbreak per @bbcnews.bsky.social I admire that on a personal level-it shows leadership & compassion. Genuine question from a non-scientist: doesn't that now make him the biggest global nexus if by chance he comes into contact with the virus whilst on the 'front line

Arrgghh: #Trump is talking about watching the #rescue attempt on a screen at the White House. So far, he has made 2 references to 'Central casting', then referred to, "...one of the shows...". Does he know it's not a TV programme?

#Trump "I would say, militarily, it's been one of our best Easters". I would say, militarily, the best Easters are the ones where your military are NOT involved in active conflict.

Many in the UK want an apology from #Trump for his disgraceful comments about #NATO soldiers in the #Afghanistan war, which was prompted by the attacks on 9/11. He won't care. Remember: this was the man who crowed that he now had the tallest building in #NYC, after the twin towers were destroyed

President Zelenskyy in an interview with Newsmax: "Trump can stop him [Putin].For that to happen,Putin must lose money.Only by losing money will he be unable to grow his army or increase military spending.That will lead to internal problems.That is a fact.To achieve this,sanctions must be imposed."

BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄

Not just eugenics. This was a euthenasia hygiene program designed to eliminate financial burden. Disabled and sick were deemed unworthy to live. So where will the line be drawn now? Who lives, who dies, and who is sent to El Salvadore? encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

A black and white photo of Shiprock at sunrise, photographed above a large pool of water that formed from recent rains. Shiprock is mirrored almost perfectly on the water's surface. It lives up to its name, quite literally looking like the sail of a ship on the water.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Wikler: Musk deleted that tweet because he knows that that tweet was a crime, and it's still a crime in Wisconsin law. It is plain as day. You cannot promise something of value in order to induce someone to vote or refrain from voting. This is Wisconsin statute, and it's a felony to cross that line.

Donald Trump signe un décret pour retirer de certains musées toute idéologie jugée «inappropriée»
Aux États-Unis, la révision du passé culturel est une véritable guerre lancée par Donald Trump. Pour lutter contre un endoctrinement idéologique présumé de certains musées, le président a signé jeudi 27 mars un texte pour reprendre le contrôle de certains d'entre eux et présenter l'histoire américaine sous un jour moins sombre. Dans le viseur du président en particulier : les musées de l'institution du Smithsonian à Washington.
