I'm sure he was a nice enough bloke, but this endless coverage of the Pope's passing is ridiculous. For one, there is no such thing as God. For another the Catholic church has caused IMMEASURABLE damage to countless youngsters over the years. I'd have stayed a LOT quieter if I were a member.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Our band The Climate Stripes has a new album forthcoming, entitled “Times Are Strange (And Getting Stranger)”. We’d like to thank Donald Bastard Trump for providing much of the grist for our poetry.

Why is Colonel Chris Hadfield (the famous Canadian astronaut) refusing to say anything against Donald Trump? Is it not the DUTY of every celebrity and public figure to speak up?

MarkJamesRoss @markjamesross.bsky.social · 09/04/2025
QUESTION: Should celebrities and public figures voice their opposition to Trump, or are they allowed to stay silent whilst we carry their can? (They all know who they are)

This man is going to kill every last living thing on the planet. What will it take before people see him for the truly existential threat he is?

Delighted to see Bluesky up its max character limit. But it's still NOWHERE NEAR enough. We need Bluesky to take Facebook on with a much higher limit in place. Our democracies depend on Facebook dying a long-overdue death. I want to leave Facebook without losing my voice online.

I am SO proud of Americans taking to the streets to defend their democracy. This needs to become a series of national strikes until the Trump economy is stopped. We'll do our bit abroad too, inc. calling for a boycott of all tourism to the USA. Difficult, but WAY better than a second US civil war.

@carolekingofficial.bsky.social A serious question to a lady of considerable influence; isn't it time for every sane American to withdraw their labour? Short of the military stepping in to remove him, what other choice is there?

Bluesky needs to up its game if it is to replace Facebook (and I hope it does). Why the the character limit?

The non-American armies of NATO are still some 2.3 million strong. We have to deal with Putin without Trump involved at all. If we do not, Putin will not stop. Poland, Latvia, Lithuanian and Estonia will be next. Then the rest of us.

Germany (re)infected with right-wing idiocy too. After WW2 you couldn’t find a single person who’d been a Nazi. ‘Course, Germans didn’t have social media in 1933-45. But we do now. So let’s ALL keep tabs on the racists we see shall we? You know, for any reruns of the Nuremberg Trials?

It’s not often I’d feel sorry for Sir Kier Starmer. But him hoping to talk some sense into Donald Trump this coming week must feel like the weight of the world on his shoulders, and it may indeed be. WW3 is not that difficult to imagine, considering Trump’s utterly deranged thinking.

For all those who argue the US tax payers have been 'giving' billions of dollars to Ukraine, the reality is that much of that money is actually spent in AMERICA, from Raytheon's Patriot missiles to Chrysler's Abrams tanks. See the US State Dept's website here: www.state.gov/bureau-of-po...

The United States, our allies, and our partners worldwide are united in support of Ukraine in response to Russia’s premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified war against Ukraine.  We have not forgotten...

American democrats need to organise a series of ongoing national strikes. The US economy needs to be brought to a total halt unless / until Trump steps down. No individual can beat him but the masses can & MUST. We in the UK, EU and elsewhere MUST do our bit too. 100% support for Ukraine included..

BlueSky could do with some of the features Facebook offers. The character limit seems an unnecessary (and self-defeating) drawback? I am dying to get away from FB, and am encouraging others to do so, but many will be reluctant to leave if all that's available to them are one-paragraph posts.

James Donald Vance. Born in '84. A young twerp who knows NOTHING of international political realities and even LESS of European history. I'd like to frogmarch the little bastard around Auschwitz for a day. Show him where casual fascism like his leads. Then slap his arse right back home.

This is "Everybody Told You So". Another song from our band The Climate Stripes (recorded live in Oldham, England). This is one of the tracks you'll hear on our forthcoming album "Times Are Strange (And Getting Stranger)". Due out in April / May 2025. Enjoy! youtu.be/2rcmWvl8qj8?...

The 25th Amendment allows for the removal of an unfit or insane President (with a 2/3rd majority of Congress). Or, if a good number of his generals refuse to take orders from him (en masse) his position as CIC will be effectively untenable. Whatever it takes, Trump HAS to go.

You heard it here first; not ONE member of UK Parliament can articulate what use “AI” will be to any of us. Unless and until we see the evidence for anything other than yet more wealth inequality and mass unemployment, no Artificial Intelligence platforms should be allowed.

One of these pictures is LA in 2025, the other is Hiroshima in 1945. As far as I am concerned, the moment Donald Trump or any other politician says the Climate Emergency is a hoax, they should be JAILED.

It's nice to be here on Bluesky! (FYI, I'm ditching Twitter / X and Facebook, permanently, & I'm encouraging as many of my 2.5k followers to do the same by April Fools Day 2025. We need to teach Musk and Zuckerberg a lesson they'll NEVER forget. Suck up to Trump & we WILL collapse your platforms).
