Tomorrow is a BIG day! Yorkshire Bylines turns five, and you can join the party.
Did you know we were the first of the 10 Bylines Network publications to launch? That means we're celebrating our whole network's birthday - half a decade of powerful citizen journalism that speaks #TruthToPower in the UK.
Be part of the birthday celebrations by posting a happy birthday message at 6pm on Tuesday 15th April. Here's Su, one of our brilliant Yorkshire Bylines editors, to tell you more.
Bernie, who is 83 years old, made a surprise appearance at Coachella last night to speak to the younger generation.. He is such an inspiration.

Pulled over to the side of the road, in Hamilton ON, to watch Senator Cory Booker break the racist's record. And as he did so, he spoke against hatred and spoke instead of the power of redemption and forgiveness. #GoodTrouble #TruthToPower

The Dems who were fired from the FTC, are speaking #TruthToPower more than Schumer, Jeffries, & many Dem leaders.
Please watch Slaughter articulate Trump's threat
to indep agencies, as he claims power over them & any Commissioner, Republican or Democrat, who isn't loyal to him -on CNBC, & read the article.
"FTC commissioner ousted by Trump: ‘If I can be fired, I don’t know why J Powell can’t be fired."
"If you think federal workers should be fired for working from home, wait until you hear how much it costs to fly back and forth to Mar-a-Lago."
-K Kingsley
Republicans are responsible for the Trump-Musk regime destroying lives, tanking the economy, & aligning with Russia, so the oligarchs can profiteer from privatizing the federal government.
"She doesn't mention cloture specifically. But I think it's clear what Pelosi is saying here. And I think her saying it is a pretty big deal."
-J Marshall
"Listen to the women."
“When Zelensky spoke the ‘TRUTH’ to power yesterday, they didn’t like it. Too bad—his words are what leadership looks like. We stand with him. #Zelensky #TruthToPower #Leadership #StandWithUkraine #RussiaOutOfUkraine” #Zelensky #TruthToPower #Leadership #WeStand #Ukraine #RussiaOutOfUkraine”

I don't have time during the day to watch or listen
I hear yea, and over 100 million others, 
are in the same situation
My main way of getting the #truthtopower and the #factchecking news is to listen to a show (no ads) from the podcasts TWICE
Really, my thing, is to listen to _some_ shows twice
So, I know how hard it is to grab quality "my news time" each day
"Sadly, it appears that over the next few years in the United States there will be many situations justifying and requiring parrhesia directed at the administration and American society as a whole. It remains to be seen if those who exercise a prophetic ministry are up to the challenge."
"Throughout the history of the Church, preachers and others have exercised parrhesia toward emperors, kings, nobles and others in power, sometimes paying for their courage with their lives."
And as Grimm notes,
"Parrhesia is not directed solely at secular power. The bishops and superiors who covered up the abuse of children and vulnerable people by clergy and other Church workers have faced parrhesia."
William Grimm comments on Bishop Mariann Budde's decision to speak uncomfortable to Trump's face:
"There is a category of rhetoric technically known by the Greek word parrhesia, usually defined in English as 'speaking truth to power.' The word conveys not only the right to speak truth to those who do not want to hear it but the duty to do so regardless of the cost."
I’m through agreeing to disagree. We’re not talking about mere political differences anymore. This is not an intellectual exercise. For many people, this is literally life or death stuff. If I confide in you about my fears regarding what’s going on right now, and your response is to simply say we need to agree to disagree, not only does that make you a pretty crappy friend/family member/whatever, it also shows me clearly where you stand. Let me be clear, I hate conflict. But for me this goes beyond wanting to keep the peace. Some people need their worlds rocked, and if nobody else is going to do it, I guess it’s up to me. #Resist #fightBack #TruthToPower
Telling words from #GraceTame:
“The prime minister doesn’t need my advice, and I’m sure he isn’t interested in it either. I don’t envy him or his job. I can only imagine it’s a poison chalice, and I’ve no desire to hold another one of those. I just hope he remembers that while pressure and privilege may come from the plutocracy, in this country (for now at least), his power still comes from the people.”
I love Grace. What a powerhouse of #TruthToPower

a flyover of the #LosAngeles area Friday Jan 24 2025
Many trees were not burned, so they were NOT effecting the destruction
#Newsom had the choice to talk #truthtopower next to #Trump but he took the nice way out
Doing a #Budde to his face, in public, on TV, is a difficult choice, I don't fault him, at this time
Trump, you lie, the water problem was bc too much was needed at once and the smelt fish reason doesn't past the smell test #trumplies
"If Jesus were resurrected today he’d be immediately canceled and attacked by MAGA for being a woke, DEI-hire libtard.
In the absence of a petty, vindictive, vengeful 'warrior Jesus' who will 'own the libs; and engage in a 24-7 Festivus, these alleged Christians with family values have their avatar in Donald Trump,"
