Cuckooing (using a vulnerable person's home to carry out crime) Child criminal exploitation (using children to commit crimes on your behalf) Both are set to be made new criminal offenses when the government introduced the new Crime and Policing bill to parliament next week. 1/2

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

"He parades as a strongman, but in fact he’s weak, weak, weak. In the face of America’s adversaries Donald Trump is, as he might put it, a patsy, a sucker, a pushover. He folds like a pack of cards. He’s a human doormat. A loser." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #bbcpm

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

Great discussions at Scottish Labour business forum today on the industrial potential of our clean power mission and how we make Scotland a better place for investment.

These nazis just can’t wait to come outta the woodwork. Steve Bannon, home to 1000’s of cockroaches, fleas and lice, flashed a quick nazi salute at CPAC yesterday. When closet nazis start feeling this emboldened, you know it’s time to worry.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

On watching a documentary about Nixon it was troubling the amount of words and phrases trump uses align with those of nixon. It would seem republicans saw what nixon did, didn't care and decided it was the way forward

Fucking fascism.
