This is a turning point. This is the line we draw. This is the moment history will remember — when millions stood together to say NO to Trump, Vance, Vought, Theil, and all the corrupt cronies and cult. Follow the movement. Learn what comes next. Join us at FiftyFifty.One. #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Huge congratulations to the wonderful @doctoroxford.com and so well deserved. The Story of a Heart is one of the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful & inspirational book’s I’ve ever read ❤️👏

Don't let all the news distract you from the ongoing starvation and killing of Palestinians in Gaza. The Israeli govt is deliberately trying to prevent news getting out . It dismisses what news there is as Hamas propaganda while refusing to let international journalists in. An information war too.

VIDEO: Here is the Regime treating a duly elected U.S. Senator like a farm animal because he had the temerity to ask questions of Kristi Noem. Fascism is here. The jackboot of Big Government is pressing down on all our faces, and the only question is what we do next.

Tomorrow, 15 people charged with gambling related offenses linked to last year’s general election appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court from 10 a.m. Most people will have forgotten this but not @robfordmancs.bsky.social, @psurridge.bsky.social @drjennings.bsky.social and me! #BGE2024Book

Badenoch "We have too many QUANGOs" * Interviewer: "Which QUANGOs would you cut?" "Sorry Emma, but you are just trying to change the focus of what I'm talking about..." * Quasi autonomous non-government organisations. Peak usage by Cameron during his "Bonfire of the quangos" crusade a decade ago

While the British media cheerlead for the far-right Reform party, there's close to zero coverage of the significant gains the Green party are making in council elections.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Badenoch is a total disaster for the Tories honestly. The biggest gift to Farage is the Tory collapse. She still insists while the govt is doing everything wrong, she does not need to lay out what the Tories would actually do differently. She sounds furious & clueless at all times. #r4today

Reform takes over the BBC. BBC Bosses Draw Up Plans to Win Over Reform Voters by Changing News and Drama Output. The Director General Tim Davie and other executives discussed altering BBC “story selection” in order to secure the “trust” of supporters of ReformUK bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

The right keeps on telling us Islamophobia does not exist. In France, a trial has just started. 16 people. Engineer, retired accountant, nurse, diplomat... people who considered themselves patriots and liked the Army.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

When innocent TV reporters are deliberately targeted and shot doing their job by the police isn't it about time to relocate the World Cup and Olympics?

For those who struggle to understand connections across interconnected issues, here's something I shared in Dec2023 (among other similar posts), which may be useful to read since Greta is making the point more clearly now- like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

What Israel has done in this instance is once again without any possible excuse, as the Israeli blockade of Gaza violates international law. www.youtube.com/watch?v=reI8...

Is it at least an eye-opener to some how captured and corrupted our biggest media outlets are, even or especially the public ones? #genocide and state #terrorism are made possible by a media turning a blind eye or derailing the story by spreading the lies of the perpetrators. Do not obey in advance.

"What has the ECHR ever done for us?" 🤔 [SOUND ON 🔊]

submitted 8 days ago • 33 comments

Absolutely right. Don’t fall for the ‘we need to leave the ECHR’ to stop ‘illegal’ migration It’s exactly like the Brexit argument. We need to give up our rights to stop migrants It’s a lie. It won’t. Those who sell it will never be satisfied until all our protections are gone

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

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.

‘Tate raped and strangled us’ - women talk to BBC. Farage said Tate was an 'important voice' for men. There is something very creepy about Farage, which deserves much more public attention.
