Enjoy life and .. but the meaning is not clear!

Congratulations on your wedding @DonaldJTrumpJr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

What if this was the plan

Like Lee Harvey Oswald posting about missing JFK

A police visit on a claimed domestic assault in the family home in January 2026 would have been a good time to remove any weapons in the home. This was a murder first. ⁦@profwschiller⁩ washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

I join with President Trump in extending the joyous spirit of rebirth and renewal that is Easter to you and yours. Have a wonderful day!

also Trump has memorized the entire Bible

⚡️‼️🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: The loss of an E-3 surveillance craft is fake news. The craft has already been restored to service. Iran is seething.

To commemorate my father’s 95th birthday, I want to remind Spock fans that dad’s parents were Ukrainian immigrants which shaped my father in many ways. Four years of Putin’s war has brought death and destruction to our people, our homeland. LLAP. #standwithukraine #ukraine

Welcome news more than half a century too late. We need, however, to reinsert the drive for white supremacy back into the context. The BBC story implies that the principal motivation for Belgium and other Western powers conspiring to kill Patrice Lumumba were Cold War suspicions of his ties with Moscow. This is untrue. The real reason was that many in Brussels, London, Washington did not want to see the emergence of a powerful and united Africa and wanted to maintain white supremacy over at least the southern half of the continent (1/3)

I don’t mind that Europeans frame the post-WW2 era as a “rules-based” “global order” that’s now seemingly crashing down. But it’s irritating that many don’t even see that this is a parochially European perspective - like the “Cold War” - and that for the vast majority of the world the much bigger story of the last eight decades has been the transition from a centuries-old age of (largely Atlantic) empires and the ability (or inability) of the “West”, often racially identified, to come to terms with even a slightly diminished place in the world.

I have been laid off today from the @washingtonpost, along with most of the International staff and so many other wonderful colleagues. I’m heartbroken for our newsroom and especially for the peerless journalists who served the Post internationally — editors and correspondents who have been my friends and collaborators for almost 12 years. It’s been an honor to work with them. I launched the WorldView column in January 2017 to help readers better understand the world and America’s place in it and I’m grateful for the half a million loyal subscribers who tuned into the column several times a week over the years.

Let's get back to when politics made sense.

The Riverview. A great Montana noir thriller by Jamie Harrison.

Invoke the 25th Amendment please. P.S. @sikorskiradek and you were both stellar in defense of normality at the @JaipurLitFest
