The president was also reminded of a massive hypocrisy.

Is anyone really that shocked to learn that NRA members didn’t really believe that “stand up to tyranny” stuff? And that the organization mainly exists to taunt victimized families and communities after mass shootings?

A cis women's rugby team played a trans women's rugby team and won 34-7. Naturally, Oliver Brown, who likes that his job gives him free reign to attack women, is not pleased, perhaps because he's spent years telling us how shit cis women are at everything

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

I seriously think Laura Kuenssburg would be more suited to appearing on GB news than BBC. Guests today are Chris Philp and Richard Tice.

One of the most 'Labour' speeches I've heard in a long time.

This is the stuff. Leaving space for the boos after saying "Margaret Thatcher" was particularly nicely done.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Trump 2 so far: 1. Pardoned paramilitaries who staged a pro-Trump coup 2. Illegally deported people to foreign gulags 3. Accepted a luxury jet from Qatar while in office 4. Illegally deployed the National Guard against protesters. This is authoritarianism.

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

Says so much about the Blue Labour PR automatons. Partially reversing the cuts to disability support is about quashing the public blowback against Rachel Reeves, but nothing to do with the fact that the policy was morally indefensible.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

In yet another tasteless and pathetic move, Trump fired the director of the Smithsonian's Portrait Gallery moments ago... Wait til you see his reason smh

Absolutely right. I also sense a real blossoming on here in recent weeks.

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

"The USA today is not the USA I fought and came close to dying for," says 100-year-old Frank Hartzell, who helped liberate the Nazi concentration camp Mauthausen. His experience offers a warning about the dangers of political extremism:

The arrest and apparent injury of David Huerta, a prominent California union leader, at an immigration protest has drawn condemnation from across the labor movement.

In LA, officers deployed tear gas and shot rubber bullets at protesters fighting against ICE raids. Here’s a reminder that those anti-protest weapons—which are billed as relatively safe—can actually cause serious harm.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

When he's right, he's right: we gotta arrest all the ICE agents

Well, this seems like the end for a certain type of Conservatism.

What caused mass protest in LA? The return of a controversial policy from ICE—to juice the number of deportations www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont criticized President Donald Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops in Los Angeles, arguing that Trump "wants all of the power" and is rapidly moving the US "into authoritarianism." cnn.it/43AJ7TJ

People in the UK, be warned: this is Farage's wet dream and your nightmare if he ever gets near office.

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

BREAKING: The UK Government has sent a spy plane over Gaza at the same time a ship carrying vital aid is under threat from Israel

Israel Katz threatens to use ‘all necessary measures’ to stop Gaza bound aid ship

Hot take. The government isn’t subsidizing university budgets. Universities are lending subsidized expertise to research and development that contributes to the public good. It’s called partnership.

New statement in from Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights calling on the international community to ensure safe passage for the Madleen.

You can’t enforce aggressive anti immigration laws without affecting citizens too because officers can’t know who’s an immigrant in advance. (And deploying paramilitaries to deport people is stupid…unless you want to provoke unrest)

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

I swear every time I see a push notification from BBC news it’s some version of: ‘Reform may have lost an election/suffered a massive blow/erupted into civil war…but here is why its actually good news for Farage’s party’

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Yesterday, Irish band Fontaines D.C. sent powerful political messages in support of Palestine during a performance of theirs.

you think folks would have learned after press in minneapolis were intentionally targeted and several were permanently injured or blinded that cops do not give a fuck about press

We keep hearing the Trump-Musk saga reveals the split between tech oligarchs and MAGA. But they're largely in sync on crucial matters involving egalitarianism and the state. Trump/Musk mainly differ over how badly to screw the poor. Some thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Elon Musk's father, Erol Musk, just landed in Moscow to visit Dugin's "Forum of the Future 2050" at the Tsargrad Institute. The speaker's list is wild. Everyone from Alex Jones, Jeffrey Sachs, George Galloway, and Sergei Lavrov is there. forumfuture2050.ru/en/

I recently heard a high-profile pundit argue that the Trump movement cannot be Fascistic as -its supporters don't wear uniforms; -Trump dislikes foreign wars; -he hasn't tried to amend the Constitution. It's a dangerously complacent view, that misses the sheer gravity of the current situation. 🧵

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"A ceasefire seems as far away as ever while Israel and its friends and enemies trade claim and counter claim. Meanwhile people continue to die in terrible numbers" Both sides. Who to believe? And if only we knew who was slaughtering these people #trevorphillips

"Women are not physically inferior versions of men, and our function is not one of broodmares. We repudiate the equation of women with reproductive function as profoundly misogynistic." UCU women members not messing about in their response to the Supreme Court ruling. www.ucu.org.uk/media/15028/...
