You don’t stop this shit by firing on the people, you stop it by having LAPD arrest ICE for kidnapping. This is a fucking disgrace by every government party involved.

Do not initiate violence. It's extremely important that the security services have no basis for their claims that they acted out of self-defense.

"Harriet Tubman was bad because she was a Federal spy" is a level of tankie I didn't know even existed. Why did Harriet Tubman become a Federal spy, asshole? Who was she spying on?

[guy complaining that money from a fundraiser for Ukraine is going to the Ukrainian military] yeah buddy what did you think

Biden and Trump are not fighting this war, the Ukrainian people are, you imbecile.

Trying to make sense of 'Fast and Furious' franchise's journey from a relatively grounded film about street racing to outlandish fantasies. Literally feels like a bunch of 7 year olds saw the first film and made up increasingly silly games about it that somehow got turned into Hollywood blockbusters

Why isn’t the entire world sanctioning El Salvador? Running a rent-a-gulag is wrong and we should seize their assets

🌞🌞🌞 When I presented the Sunshine Bill to Parliament in January, ministers promised to bring proposals soon. Today, they’ve been true to their word. Soon, all new homes will include solar energy generation by default, saving people money on bills and cutting carbon emissions too. It’s a win-win. 1/4

Going to be really embarrassing watching people say, “sure Cuomo is a sexual predator but at least he’s not a socialist”

1) How many Breakfast Clubs can you fund for £400million? 2) Why are they proposing to hand so much power to private companies? 3) Just because you will be nice now doesn't mean everyone will always be. 4) Argh !

SCOOP: A deputy U.S. marshal was mistakenly detained by immigration agents inside the federal building that houses Tucson's immigration court, U.S. Marshals Service officials confirmed on Thursday. @tucson.com tucson.com/news/local/b...

#DDay81: When I visited Normandy for the first time in 1979 with my Dad we met Major John Howard DSO outside the Gondrée Café. By this time 81 years ago he and his men had taken the key bridges and the code words Ham & Jam signalling their capture filled the radio network.

Here it is. It has happened. We have the perfect social media post.

Government is serious business for serious people.

Captures the vibe better IMO

🇺🇦🤝🇫🇷 Ukraine and France are exploring joint weapons production — including drones and air defense systems — to strengthen Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Minister Umerov: “We bring combat experience, France brings industry. A win-win partnership.”

⚠️ On a serious note: There is a real threat of massive drone and missile attacks on Ukraine tonight. Please stay alert. Don’t ignore air raid alarms — head to shelter immediately.

When the worst person you know just made a great point.

Governments and regulators of liberal democracies should take note of the unfolding Trump-Musk war. Musk's tech empire will clearly no longer enjoy the protection of the US government. It's time to hold X to account for breeding far-right extremism, violence & attempts to destabilise democracies.

🚨 According to Russian channels, a missile was launched toward Sevastopol and reportedly shot down—locals say it was a Neptune. Air threat remains, and authorities warn of a possible combined attack.

Two weeks ago, all DOD employees were required to submit an idea for how the Dept could be more efficient. I proposed that we stop awarding more contracts to Elon in violation of conflict of interest and other laws. Never expected them to listen to me 😱

We need details on this.

Fascinating. Let it wash you along the river of the tale.

They do this because if we can communicate we can forge alliances and tell each other truths that transcend borders. People who can't communicate are lonely and scared and easy to oppress and manipulate.

This administration bans travel from a dozen nations in the name of security and then appoints 22-year-old asshats to actually run counterterrorism programs. 🤡

I rather suspect that's the point where Reform are concerned.

@bearlypolitics.co.uk This is spot on from the Bear, from someone else who also used to work in public procurement. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Still, grifters will grift & create outrage because they can 🙄 www.bearlypolitics.co.uk/p/confidence...

Let's Streisand effect this up a representative from building management [asked] who was responsible for the Reddit post and demanded that it be deleted. The representative allegedly told Yu that negative press coverage would mean “our goodwill will be gone” www.londoncentric.media/p/high-rise-...

This is the only relevant observation on the dire state of MoD procurement
