Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

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.

The fact that the person who was head of intelligence for the MPD was working giving information to the head of the Proud Boys as they were running around trying to menace people around the city has only merited the most cursory of attention is frankly amazing to me.

430.2: a grim milestone! For the first time, atmosperhic concentrations of CO2 have exceeded 430 parts per million for a month (May), according to long-running records at a volcano in Hawaii. Last May it was 426.7. Before humanity started burning fossil fuels, it was 280. keelingcurve.ucsd.edu

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

I still remember when Robert Jenrick dm'd me on Twitter, to bond apparently over our Wolverhampton schooling and to tell me he was enjoying Empireland. I don't think even he believes a word of this crap.

And this is what I mean about backlash.

Anywhere I've ever worked, fiddling your exes is grounds for instant dismissal

Similarities between ICE & the Gestapo

📊 The rampant inequality in British society has real life consequences. 🏠 From improper housing to food banks, inequality is a stain on the UK. ⚠️ Even more worryingly it is the disease on which populists feast.

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

MAGA will deport or imprison as many immigrants as possible, eventually they’ll openly advocate extermination or quietly carry it out while gaslighting that they aren’t doing it. They will also target LGBT citizens, minority citizens including African, Latino, Asian and others.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

While Robert Jenrick MP spends his days wandering about the underground tackling fare dodgers and going on about the capital for clicks... his constituency has a genuine problem. ● Newark crime rate: 123 crimes per 1,000 ● London 105.8 per 1,000 But you know... "Sadiq"

More people were shot and killed in America over Memorial Day weekend than are killed by guns in Japan and the UK combined during an average year. It’s not DEI, drag shows, or library books that caused that. It’s guns. It’s always the guns.

Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” He doesn’t care about fighting antisemitism. He’s using it as an opportunity to dismantle higher education and further his authoritarian agenda.

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

This is essential viewing. A remarkable interview with Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, a paediatrician working in Gaza, following the killing of her colleague’s NINE children by Israeli forces. Going to post this video in two clips. Here she responds to ludicrous IDF denials & calls out the genocide. 1/2

I have no words.

How to survive this US? The deliberate destruction of science, academia, health, safety, all progress. The racism. The disregard for democracy and law. The trashing of allies/affinity for dictators. The wrecking of global economy. The planet. Starvation of kids. Persecution of migrants. Etc…How?

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK: “.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." @variety.com variety.com/2025/music/n...

Bruce Springsteen calls out Trump!
