This.

Is there a reason why no one asks Trump what the fuck he’s got on his face?

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

It simply is no longer viable for us to hold the 2026 World Humanist Congress in Washington DC as planned, with the US in the state it is. Delighted to announce that we will instead be hosted by the wonderful people of Ottawa, Canada!

BBC Scotland’s editorial picking and choosing of performative data would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

How the fuck does he get elected to council? England is lost.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

Tomorrow is #danielhannanday - join me in celebrating the great British virtues of Absurd deference to public schoolboys Being completely wrong but blaming eveyone else Rewarding failure by elevating people to the Lords with a £75k pa expense allowance. Pl repost www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...

On National #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honour the enduring histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, and we reaffirm our partnership in reconciliation.

Before Brexit the UK was about as rich as Germany, and richer than France. Now it is much poorer than either, by 2030 we will be poorer than Poland, and by 2040 we will be poorer than all 27 EU countries. The magic of Brexit.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

It’s getting to the stage where I’m embarrassed to be so white. How difficult is it for people to live and let live ffs

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

How many of these would have to happen to you before you decided you were shite at building rockets and found a new hobby?

@alancumming.bsky.social I swooped in this morning and got tickets for The High life in Glasgow next year. My heart’s going piff paff poff

Prof Danny Dorling of Oxford University nails it squarely on the head. The SG get zero credit for their policies on welfare. Particularly the Scottish child payment which lifts kids out of poverty. The loyal, compliant media on both sides of the border fear reporting this would fuel Independence.

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Will you all now just fuck the fuck off with your constant blah blah blah about how a fucked up ferry contract means we should never govern ourselves.

Putin’s United States of America

Trump's #G7 humiliation summarized. After a disastrous birthday with millions of people protesting him and a military parade with low turn out and mediocre marching, an embarrassed Donald Trump embarked to Canada for the Group of Seven summit.

I don't agree with a lot of what he does but much respect to Premier Ford, for doing what we Canadians do. May continued shame rain on #Felon47 🖕 #cdnpoli #uspoli

At a time when we desperately need to bring down the temperature, the president of the United States is deliberately turning up the heat. His thirst for chaos and division is dangerous and deeply un-American.

The cowardice of the Congressional GOP to not put guardrails on the lunatic in the Oval Office - as they are required to by oath - is overwhelming at times.

Smallest town in the smallest state in America 🇺🇸 had over a 1 k people line the streets and drive down in cars, honking support and waving flags. Little Rhody Warren, R.I. 💙💪🏻 6 other R.I. locations had even more #rhodeisland #nokings #protests #resistance #opUSA #opICE #opdreadnought #newengland

In honour of Joy Division's iconic album Unknown Pleasures being released on this day in 1979, I'm again sharing one of my favourite ever video clips (Peanuts vs Joy Division dance party)...

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

@fivetimessix.bsky.social Happy Birthday! Have a great one.

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

This is the journalist who said Liz Truss delivered the best budget in history …
