The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

Karen Bass: "On Saturday night, the president tweeted that 'because of the great work of the National Guard, the protests & the violence was curtailed.' The National Guard wasn't even here. They didn't even arrive until the next day. That's why it's very hard to not see this as a stunt or test case"

We stand with you as you stand with your neighbours. Americans are showing soul and community. What Trump is doing is unnatural to America. We see that clearly because of how Americans are rallying to protect their neighbourhoods from ICE thugs on power trips. Stay strong, guys. 🇺🇸♥️

Let’s make sure this is reposted lots of times shall we!

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

At the last anniversary of Brexit, Nigel tried to put some “tough”questions to me. It kinda fell flat. So he tried to talk over me… and didn’t invite me back.

Governor Newsom: “And we all know this Saturday, he’s ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past.” Thank you for being fearless and telling it like it is.

Rachel Reeves held her ground, rejected Treasury orthodoxy, and forced through a significant change to the fiscal rules on investment. She gets no credit for this, but she damn well deserves some inews.co.uk/opinion/rach...

This is pretty interesting. He's willing to say directly (under questioning from McConnell) that Russia is the aggressor but will not say who he wants to win and says that the peace he desires may not make many senators or Americans happy.

Hey Donny Dollhands This is how an insurrection looks like! youtu.be/Iludfj6Pe7w?...

Reversing the winter fuel allowance cut for 75% of pensioners surely means the whole policy since July has been one of the most pointless self-inflicted wounds any government has ever suffered? Assuming they don’t get full credit for the reversal, which they won’t.

Farage just said that lower productivity in Wales "says to you that people don't have belief, they haven't got ambition". Comical misunderstanding of productivity in economics. What it says is: low investment, old tech, poor training, slow transport etc. Not that Welsh people can't be bothered. ~AA

Watching nearly every political party in the UK chase the same 20% of the worst people in the country, ignoring the other 80%, just to please the papers. Nothing will change in the UK until the papers are taken in hand. Not all the media, just the papers. The rest will flow from there.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

8 June 1929 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Anna Bannet, was born in Rotterdam. She was arrested while trying to get to Switzerland. She was deported from Drancy to #Auschwitz on 23 June 1943. She did not survive.

8 June 1877 | Dutch Jew, Eduard Blanes, was born in Amsterdam. He was deported to #Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 21 September 1942. He was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

8 June 1921 | Italian Jew, Ferdinando Nemes, was born in Fiume. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 October 1943 in a transport from Rome. Camp no. 158638 He survived the war.

A truly terrible development, for everyone. Things will not be ok in this country until liberal conservatism returns, but by God there isn't much sign of that.

“He said he will target & punish those who disagree with him or refuse to bend to his will. He calls these Americans ‘The Enemy Within’, including journalists & judges. He says he would use the American Military to go after American Citizens.” -Kamala Harris. She Was Right About Everything.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

"Putin is not a child fighting in a playground—he is a killer who came there to murder children," — Zelensky said in response to Trump’s comparison of Russia’s war against Ukraine to “two kids fighting in a park” Such a view shows a lack of understanding of the tragedy Ukrainians are living through

Hey, here's a guy with gang tattoos that needs to be sent to El Salvadore

I repeat. Chris Mason is a reform shill.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: A total of 80 people were injured. Unfortunately, there are killed. A cynical Russian strike on ordinary cities. And, unfortunately, not everyone in the world condemns such strikes. And this is exactly what Putin is using. He is buying himself time to continue fighting.

The Secret Police have to stay secret because Americans might be mean to them? People on the public payroll have to be... well, public. We pay for them. We deserve to know where our money is going, and what is being done in our name.

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social is right on the money again. She warned us about Cambridge Analytica. She knows her subject.

Galling as ever to see BBC turn victory by Labour into limp only just “squeaked through on a thin margin” headline👇🏼 If Reform had won their headline would be “Reform continue to gather momentum with yet another win” Their right wing bias is paid for by licence payers & makes Reform seem powerful

It's rare to see a man of such principles... www.normalisland.co.uk/p/heart-brea...

🫠 Traditions remain unchanged… Another stolen boiler was found in the Russian armored vehicle "Tiger", which was blown up in the Kherson direction.

"Look I gave the guy a chance to worship me. I gave him DOGE to make him money and steal data. I gave his son a ride in my helicopter. He came with me of overseas visits, big visits and I had a Tesla sale on the White House forecourt, a car now falling apart and worth zilch . What more could I do?"

Yes,yes,yes!

Despite Farage's vile racist attacks and the SNP's porkies, Anas Sarwar proved everyone wrong. Thank you. #ukpolitics

Yep. It amazes me that no one in media,or Democratic party,looked into this at the time. Trump can't hold his own water,that comment should have sparked interest and investigation.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Labour's attempts to blame rising small boat numbers on the weather are "pathetic" says Shadow Conservative Home Secretary Chris Philp In other news, here's Chris Philp, when he was Immigration Minister, blaming rising small boat numbers on the weather

Just perfect.

Everyone asks the same question and never gets an answer!

“That they can be ‘disappeared’ in such an arbitrary manner is chilling and sets a worrying precedent for the proper functioning of our news reporting. The job of British journalists has just been made much harder.”

Farage claimed in his speech today that he would raise £65 *billion* by cutting climate policies, DEI schemes, and ‘Quangos’. He’s not running a serious operation and every political journalist in the country has a public duty to shout that from the rooftops

So...Trump is straight up saying that he's been protecting Putin & Russia all along?

The king is doing exceptional work: going to Canada, lending his weight to Carney, allowing himself to be used, in the best possible way, to put Trump back in his box. Really delicate, supportive, important work.
