A tweet from Insider Paper quotes Spain’s Prime Minister saying the country will not applaud those who “set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket,” referring to a ceasefire.
Beautifully put.
There’s a certain type of former politician that confuses their personal need for relevance with the nation’s interests.
new yorker headline: THIS EASTER, AN AMERICAN POPE CONFRONTS AN AMERICAN WAR
*movie trailer guy voice*
As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant.
But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.
A drawing titled "Wild Rabbit vs. Easter Bunny". On the left, there's a wild cottontail bunny sitting down looking alert. On the right, there's a cartoonish Easter Bunny wearing a little polkadot vest and standing next to some colorful eggs. The wild bunny is labeled "Eyes on the sides of the head to watch for predators." and the Easter Bunny "Forward-facing eyes to hunt for meat." Wild bunny: "Active all year." Easter Bunny: "Only active in Spring - otherwise in diapause as a cyst?" Wild bunny: "Walks on four legs." Easter Bunny: "Unusual bipedal stance." Wild bunny: "Plain brown and white fur." Easter Bunny: "Distinctive vest-like markings." Wild bunny: "Gives birth to live young." Easter Bunny: "Steals and redistributes eggs; parasitic reproductive strategy?"
Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.

Josh Nalven tweet: I'm sorry Ms Jackson (oooo)/I am four weeks/never meant to make your daughter cry/I am several fish and not a guy
I still sing this.
MASSIVE fan of this one:
Now expand that to "the entire Trump presidency"
this is just open and abject corruption, but the way U.S. journalism frames it you'd not really understand that there's anything untoward
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
This is not the way
These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.
@lner.co.uk Hi there, when will you release details of timetables/engineering works etc over the late May bank holiday weekend?
Wonder how 2PP would look with ONP in second place. Could be quite a mess?
Come a long way from the bowls of fruit and beanbag vibes haven't we
The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down
Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff.
Game on.
News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
“You guys, Hitler wants to see Poland succeed”

Rudy Giuliani standing at a lectern in front of a landscaping company garage door with a Trump 2020 campaign sign backdrop. The whole thing looks hastily thrown together because it was.
Happy Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day to all who celebrate. Five years now since the funniest political moment of my entire life.

Interesting piece: if Tesla collapses Musk’s entire empire could come crashing down because of the way he’s structured the companies’ finances.
/2 The Roberts Court 6-3 majority is best understood not as a genuine or legitimate independent adjudicatory body but as a ceremonial adjunct to the Trump government, like a First Lady or a second-born prince in a constitutional monarchy.
