Trump shared a racist "joke." That humor is an American tradition : Code Switch When President Trump shared a racist video on his Truth Social account last week, the blowback was real. But the video is also part of a tradition that has existed in the U.S. since the early 1800s — ...

There’s no such thing as a racist joke. It’s not humor. It’s just racism. www.npr.org/2026/02/14/n...

My postcard contribution for this year: ‘Another Stormy Day’

Thank you

This postcard size painting will soon be on its way to the Netherlands. It is my contribution to the #postcardartexhibit 2026, which will be held in The Hague in aid of Alzheimers.
‘Another Stormy Day’ will be for sale (together with many others) in the
#Postcardartexhibit2026 in June.

How the hell are people okay with these $1 billion checks being written to Jared Kushner and the Trump Criminal Enterprise for this fake peace clown committee announced today?

OMG YES...😂

Please tell me this really happened 🙏

Brilliant!!

a woman wearing glasses and a blue head scarf says " isn 't anybody going to " Alt: Time to put Grandpa in a home. Ideally one with bars on the windows and pyjamas with sleeves that can be buckled down.

'If you don't do what I want, I'm going to make my own voters pay twice as much for all that stuff of yours they love buying. That'll show you!'

Anatomy of folly…

…but Trump still might attempt it.

Charming. NOT

Wishing you all a healthy and creative New Year, but most of all I wish for peace for the Palestinian people, for Ukraine and in all war torn countries.

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?

There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

Season’s Greetings to all. May 2026 bring peace.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

In this war, there is one aggressor and one victim. So far, we haven't heard of any concessions from Russia's side.”

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Fruitful diplomacy ahead. Sunday–visit to Greece and important agreement on natural gas imports. Monday – historic deal with France in Paris to strengthen our combat aviation and air defense. Tuesday – talks in Spain on bolstering our air defense and initiatives with partners.

Close to my heart as my father had Alzheimers, I am still Dutch and hope to visit even though living in UK and last but not least this may be my 15th time taking part. See one ☝🏻 of my previous entries.

5 months ago since I posted art on this platform.
Recently shook up a dull landscape painting to express more of what matters to me. Acrylic, pen and collage on gessoed paper.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Very worrying. All my followers should be supporting our EU colleagues, friends and family also following @inlimbobrexit.bsky.social and @elenainlimbo.bsky.social

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.
