The felon's policies in the US are scooping up American born citizens, visa holders, green card holders, tourists from other countries, many are missing and some were sent to El Salvador - most of them with no criminal convictions. If you think you are safe to travel there, you are mistaken.

There was a ladybird in my coffee! I just had to take it out of my mouth. 😱 There was shrieking, ditching the coffee, and brushing of teeth. Little fuckers overwinter in door and window frames and they're always about at this time of year. But this is the first time I nearly swallowed one. 😝

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I hope that the UK has stopped sharing intelligence with the USA. And I also hope that plans are being made to remove USA military bases from UK soil.

1. Aid to Ukraine was "paused" but I'm not sure it'll ever restart. 2. An EO was signed to start cutting down millions of acres of National Forest. 3. Trump wants to lift sanctions on Russia while keeping tariffs on our allies. 4. Hegseth cancels cyber activity against Russia. I'm so tired now.

I was looking for a list of make up brands that I'd be happy to continue buying because they are UK or European (trying to avoid USA goods & services). Found this article which is actually quite helpful though not intended for that purpose. www.crueltyfreekitty.com/news/who-own...

words I never imagined writing in my lifetime..... General Sir Richard Shirreff, the former Nato deputy supreme allied commander in Europe, has told Times Radio: "I think we have to assume, after the events of the last 10 days, that we cannot in any way count on America as an ally"

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
