As I keep saying, he really is quite literally, going to kill us all.

SAVE THE DATE: Major protest march coming up: “Good Trouble Lives On” – July 17, 2025 Nationwide protests honoring the late Rep. John Lewis. Theme: “March in Peace. Act in Power.” Focus: Civil rights, democracy, and resistance to the felon's policies.

The UK has a Christian Concern government - "Labour MPs are attempting to launch the most “draconian” clampdown on sex work devised in Britain in decades, campaigners have warned." novaramedia.com/2025/06/17/s...

This is from 2023 but nothing's changed. It's worse, in fact.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

Strange how, when the BBC platforms transphobic hate groups it never sees the need for balance. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Always.

I'm a human rights lawyer. I have represented immigrants & asylum seekers my entire career. As you see ICE increase its attacks on immigrants, here are steps you as a US citizen can take to be an ally & protect immigrants from ICE and CBP absue.

“Our ability to speak out on important issues is fundamental to a functioning democracy and Liberty’s case has sent that message loud and clear to the government” The government must now review ALL arrests made under these unlawful powers

Solidarity with Kneecap.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

San Padre Island was denied an expansion to their Convention Center because of loss of habitat but across the channel Spacex has lots of acres that kill everything with their launches, and has a town that closes the public beach when it wants! Something doesn't seem right!

Trump pledged not to cut Medicare — but his budget bill does just that The GOP megabill now under Senate consideration threatens healthcare insurance for more than one million seniors who rely on Medicare Who saw that coming www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-...

The grifter did another grift. Amazing how many fell for this con.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

the rest of the world be like

So true....

Obama signed a Nuclear Deal with Iran that meant they would never get a Nuclear weapon. Donald Trump tore it up. Now he wants to wage a war for a problem he created.

Shelagh Fogarty started her LBC show with a blatant pro-life lie. Pregnancy CANNOT be “legally aborted up to 9 months”. Abortion isn’t decriminalised. It’s still only allowed until 24 wks. Two docs (who could face arrest) must sign it off. She’s an idiot that’s spreading disinformation.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

BREAKING: I must bring you the exciting news that there is a 50/50 chance the US will nuke Iran and this will lead to a full nuclear exchange with Iran's allies and then the world will end. It's antisemitic to oppose this ♥️

Another reason that Desperate Donnie left the G7 Summit early. Carney announces the release of another $2bn of frozen Russian assets and sanctions on Russia (including shadow fleets). “The support will be unwavering until we get a just peace for Ukrainian people.”

I have just heard of Mike Lee’s uncalled for action on “Twitter”. As a citizen of the state of Utah, I have asked him to resign. No one I know in Utah acts or talks like this out loud. He brings shame to my state and our country.

They have got Kneecap's Mo Chara in court for waving a flag in 3 weeks. But it has been 5 years and Michelle Mone is still wandering about scot-free, while the people who murdered 72 at Grenfell are laughing after 8 years knowing they will never face justice.

we are living in the golden age of scamming and grifting

This is a result of the inaction of Trump, he failed to support Ukraine, and in fact blamed the war on them. US needs to take a firm hand on Putin before WW3 is the result.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

CNN: "Breaking just moments ago. New data showing consumers cut back spending sharply last month ... this does appears to at least partially be driven by a hangover from tariffs."

So everybody, US intelligence, European intelligence et al agree that Iran is not working towards a nuclear weapon, but the two biggest idiots (Trump and Netanyau) say they are close to a nuclear weapon. These are the people causing the problems in the world.

As Labour's Yvette Cooper announces an investigation into historic child sexual abuse Never forget that time Boris Johnson dismissed the need for such investigations, saying it was a waste of money, then lied about it

Israeli tanks have murdered dozens of people queuing for food in Gaza this morning. Israel's Genocide continues while they try distract with Iran.

🚨The latest reporting on DeSantis's Hope Florida scandal unraveling. Raises SERIOUS transparency & ethics concerns.

There is no nuclear weapons program. Fetterman’s pals in the Trump administration - including DNI Gabbard - have confirmed there is no nuclear weapons program. Fetterman is lying. Openly. Demonstrably. Shamelessly.
