This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out. Listen w/an open mind—and heart.

All sorts of paper-thin progressive justifications here for what would be a grotesque example of state power - deployed against immigrants and non-white Brits who people decide look a bit foreign www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

fair to say Kemi Badenoch’s last interview on BBC wasn’t a storming success

Elon gone #Donelon💔

Trump and Musk are feuding. Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't know what was in the bill she voted for. Joni Ernst is walking through cemeteries and saying we’re all going to die. Would be funny if they weren’t kicking 16 million Americans off their health care.

When your massive ego gets you to announce something a more careful person would have kept quiet.

How am I meant to sleep with memes like this popping up on my feed??

Don't do it. Dₒ ᵢₜ

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

NEW: Donald Trump suggests TERMINATING Elon Musk's governmental subsidies and contracts

Trump threatens to take away Elon’s government contracts

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

“DRUGS FOR ME, BUT NOT FOR THEE” 🚬 These are the same CLOWNS who insist on testing SNAP benefits for drug use. 🙄

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... And there it is again- the swipe at triple locked pensions ! We have the lowest pensions in Europe and many pensioners are struggling (but probably not Polly). What SHOULD happen is that ALL benefits should be triple locked to keep up with inflation.

No universal healthcare No universal childcare No tuition-free college Sub-living wage minimum wage Tariffs on basic necessities People putting groceries on layaway Meanwhile billionaires can write-off their private jets and yachts on their taxes. These are all deliberate policy choices.

Good for Gov. Walz, who refuses to throw marginalized children under the bus because it's a "difficult" topic. As a high school teacher and football coach, Coach Walz was the faculty sponsor for Mankato High School's Gay-Straught Alliance student club. Thank you Coach for this great example!

He hates this. So, you know what to do.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Read this. And read it again. How can ANYONE disagree? #Pride 🌈

If any marginalized group has to fight for equal rights…then our systems and laws are NOT equal. Read that again. Take all the time you need.

'You are exactly the problem here' @lewisgoodall.com says that caller Trevor is not entitled to his parents' house.

If Books Could Kill | Bonus: The Lab Leak Goes Mainstream on Podbean www.podbean.com/ea/dir-v76ku...

1/🧵 Abortion is still a crime in the UK. In 2025… Under a law from 1861, written before women could even vote. Women are being investigated, arrested and prosecuted for ending pregnancies. Far right Farage wants to drag us back even further. Here are the facts 👇🏼

'On average 250,000 abortions take place in the UK every year... none of them are legal.' Labour's @stellacreasy.bsky.social calls for abortion to be made a 'human right', as she emphasises that the current law provides a 'much shakier foundation' for accessibility. @natashadevon.bsky.social

Turn the sound up and ask yourself if you can believe what you are hearing - Women in Northern Ireland have rights you don’t. Ask yourself MP to change that by co-signing NC20 to the policing bill - tag them here if you want them to listen to why it matters!

I admit it. I broke the rules calling Farage out. I am not sorry- will keep calling him and his fellow travellers out. But making abortion a human right in England & Wales like in Northern Ireland better protects access than me getting into trouble: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Bodily autonomy is under threat, Labour MP @stellacreasy.bsky.social warns @Cocobyname.bsky.social and @MrNishKumar.bsky.social this week. But, there’s an opportunity for positive legal change. Full conversation out tomorrow, wherever you get your podcasts. #Politics #UK #Trending #Abortion

🎧 New PAGE 94 Podcast OUT NOW This week: Leftie Lawyers and Rightwing Roughnecks Helen and Adam discuss the New Angry Right, Butch Keir and the Leftie Lawyers.  Plus a chat with Ian Hislop and Nick Newman about the late, great Barry Fantoni - so, farewell then… pod.fo/e/2df502

If you’re a listener to the bonus episodes of “If Books Could Kill,” listen to this podcast next. If not, just listen to this podcast. They debunk a recent (last year) article about the lab leak hypothesis. It is fascinating. Lab leak is SO MUCH WEAKER than proponents would have you believe!

We're back! Everyone agrees that "ultra-processed food" is bad for you but no one can define what it actually is. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

So here for @michaelhobbes.bsky.social coming for UCL’s name on maintenance phase “university college? oh yesterday i ate at food restaurant” lmao

The latest wave of COVID revisionism is a transparent attack on the idea of expertise itself. It is not 'hubris' for public health professionals to issue guidance during public health emergencies!

Wake up, babes, new episode of Maintenance Phase just dropped, and it's a doozy. www.buzzsprout.com/1411126/epis...

The UK Labour Government is following a path which demonstrably will lead to this. Make nice with monstrous ideas, you become monsters yourselves, Labour. www.comicsands.com/lesbian-illi...
