How does a species actually survive this sort of idiocy? 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s actually f*****g North Korean.

"Your timely reminder that Obama negotiated a great deal with Iran (JCPOA) which had halted its nuclear program in its tracks. Trump ENDED that deal in 2018. Iran then resumed enriching Uranium, and now, here we are, with another preventable war on our hands." Mikel Jollett

The assault of Senator Padilla will rightly get lots of attention. But don't forget that Kristi Noem was in the midst of saying that the government was going to use the military to "liberate" a city from the mayor and the governor it elected. The thuggery operates at every level.

Shouldn’t SOMEONE from the Trump admin have addressed the nation about this or are they too busy working on his birthday parade? Are we allowed to know anything about this new war we are fighting?

Last week: "deliver peace through strength." This week: "time for diplomacy." Starmer can't cosplay the Army General one week. And then pretend to be the global Diplomat the next. Total lack of moral legitimacy. The Prime Ministers approach is both foolish & dangerous

SOOOOOOOOO good! Tuna chunks on potato salad and mixed leaves. The potato salad is boiled Jersey Royals marinaded in lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt & black pepper, and chopped parsley. All topped off with just a little more lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper.

Trump wants you to believe that this is about Iran signing a nuclear deal - one he tore up in 2018! - but Israel just killed Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator who was telling US television just two weeks ago that Iran was open to a deal.

ICE: “The whole country is our property.”

A question being asked by Ukrainians.

So they're openly admitting that the military occupation of Los Angeles is meant to eliminate its political leadership who disagrees with the regime?

When people are fed vacuous phrases like "Stop the Boats", they then attach their own meanings upon those words. For Richard, that means standing by and watching children drown at sea. Starmer thinks he can rationally appeal to people like Richard. youtube.com/shorts/rBCiQ...

British and American military jets are shooting down kamikaze drones in the skies of a Middle Eastern country, Israel. Britain and the USA, although guarantors under the Budapest Memorandum, refuse to shoot down kamikaze drones over a European country, Ukraine.

All set for tomorrow

Just utterly deranged. It reads like a fax out of Arkham Asylum.

This clip, showing the Senator being arrested, is significantly more shocking than the original ones circulating.

Our complicity goes far beyond mere silence.

🕊️ We urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to act on the genocide underway in Gaza. The UK must uphold international law, suspend the UK-Israel Trade and Partnership Agreement and end arms sales to Israel. Silence is complicity. 🕯️👇 www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve... #Peace #Gaza #CeasefireNow

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Openly and fully embracing neo-Nazism and ethnic cleansing when it comes to immigration

Bring back shame

If you were to put Liz Truss in a room full of meter high letters spelling out "READ THE ROOM LIZ" I reckon Liz still would not be reading the room.

In a statement, Frost notes an important detail to Alex Padilla, a sitting U.S. senator, being assaulted by federal agents today: “They did it in broad daylight. Imagine what they're doing behind closed doors to migrant men, women, and children. “This isn’t America. This is fascism.”

Never forget: Israel has claimed that Iran has been “on the verge” of developing nuclear weapons for the past 30 (T-H-I-R-T-Y) years

Is there a Nobel War Prize? Because if so Netanyahu and his ally Trump have both earned it whilst the British government deserve an award for shameful appeasement.

Alex Padilla, a US Senator getting dragged out of Kristi Noem's press conference for asking questions. This is not America.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

FULL clip of agents throwing Sen. Alex Padilla to the ground and handcuffing him. Officers threw him and held him to the ground even while he is seen as not resisting. Footage from Sen. Padilla’s staff

Nelson. He’s pretty old and frail now, but he’s always my special little guy. ❤️🇪🇸🐾 #podencos #adoptpodencos #skyhounds

New euphemism for authoritarian lawlessness just dropped

They were a warning from history, Irene, not top tips of yesteryear. Ugly.

Quel surprise! 🫢 It's good to know they respect the democratic process.

"One of the last Brexit issues sorted". Utter horseshit. It's one of the ONLY Brexit issues sorted. Thank you Labour, for matching the Tories for spectacularly dishonest drivel. Jesus wept.

Just to point out, the last point on this UK Government announcement about the new Gibraltar Agreement is quite an outstanding bit of fantasy

To me, those figures still sound horrifically high. What is wrong with people?

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Washington Post is now engaging in discrediting its own sources to protect it’s owners economic interests. WaPo is not just a biased publication, it is a bad faith actor!

Thread… 🙌

“Lay Down Burden” seems the perfect sentiment tonight. youtu.be/A9eTslVV-1Y?...

RIP Brian Wilson. A true genius. This track alone is an astonishing achievement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=apBW...
