Two weeks ago, Trump said Putin now only had two weeks to commit to a ceasefire deal.

The two weeks have passed and as expected, Trump is doing nothing.

If one #Trump day lasts x real calendar days,
then how many real calendar days are equivalent to two Trump weeks?

Asking for my friend who fails in doing the math.

in reply to Randahl Fink

yeah sure #DementiaDon, classic #TACO "tactics".
First it was "end it one day"... now it's two weeks LOL


Report from the Amsterdam protest: there are a few hundred people here and two uniformed Dutch cops at a respectful distance very casually chatting with each other while they wait for nothing to hurry up and happen.

A lot of people are tourists (American or otherwise) who happened to see the protest because the US consulate is between several museums. They’re all like “hell yeah I’m stopping for this.” Passing bikes ring their bells (some of them might even be in support and not because Americans are standing on the bike path). I don’t know where someone in Amsterdam found an enormous California bear flag on such short notice

And yes, everyone loves Odin, who randomly decided to put his paws up on my shoulders when we were very visible to the crowd

I rode my bike to the library to return a book, which isn't terribly exciting, but I'm pleased that I can now take care of local errands by bike instead of car.

“Among the eight people who #RFKJr announced would make up his new group of outside vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are an emergency physician who posted Islamophobic commentary on social media and two doctors who were paid to provide expert testimony in trials against a vaccine maker.”

Here is a synopsis of the 8 newly appointed anti-vax members of the CDC ACIP advisory committee on vaccines..

More info in thread at fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/11467017…


Here are the 8 new members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), who have replaced the 17 members fired on Monday by HHS Sec. RFK Jr.

As expected, many of them are anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers, who have made a living trashing vaccines and scientists, and peddling quack treatments.

Instead of the glowing official bio, let's read how epidemiologist Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD, and others describe these people.

Before discussing politics, I like to administer The Test.

The Test is simple, and should be easy to pass:

"Which is more important:
1. Human Rights
2. Property Rights"

There is one unambiguous, simple, correct answer. If they fail The Test, I don't talk politics with them.

🇮🇱⚡️ Israel has achieved air superiority from western Iran to Tehran. IDF spokesperson Effi Defrin stated that over 70 fighter jets took part in a night operation targeting Tehran, striking ~40 sites including air defense systems.

Israeli aircraft and UAVs operated over the capital for 2.5 hours. “Tehran is no longer protected,” Defrin said.

Still haven’t figured out a good way to connect with other creatives and people interested in electronic music of all sorts. I’ve almost completely severed myself from commercial social media; I’ve deleted InstaGram becauce Mark Fuckerberg is a fascist. So without meta, Bluesky is the last bastion of commercial bullshit.

🇺🇦🇮🇷 Zelensky to Newsmax: Iran poses a “serious threat” to Ukraine by actively supplying Russia with weapons and technology.

“Iran funds war with oil revenues and enables Russian aggression,” he said, warning of broader consequences if Tehran-Moscow ties deepen.

in reply to NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

Interesting to see how Putin kept emphasizing that Russia and Iran are very close allies when Russia needed Irans cheap lawnmower drones. And how the same man, now that Iran is under attack, pushes the dear ally under the bus.

Not that I particularly sympathize with the Mullah regime, or Moscow for that part. Just a case in point that traitors are never to be trusted.

in reply to NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

I fully appreciate Zelensky's message, but no one should propagate links to these MAGA disinformation sites like "newsmax'. (Noel only uses a screenshot without a link, but adding a warning would have been even better)

Normalizing these illiberal propaganda agents is one reason why America became the dangerous hot mess it now is.

(And yes, I do respect President Zelensky's willingness to demean himself and engage those psychos; it is a long shot attempt to influence the orange moron and his circle.)
