This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

He nails it.

Well done Ireland - Triple Crown winners

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted by Trump's purge of federal employees, imperiling crucial, lifesaving work. "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed." w/ @deldeib.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Despite facing declining poll numbers and growing constituent unrest, Trump is now publicly urging Elon Musk to intensify his efforts.

Hard fought for game against the Welsh. Ended up winners. Wales improving. Good to see. But Ireland had it in them to take it, thankfully. A proper test game.

No excuses ...

Picket beginning outside the Great Victoria Street branch of Leonardo Hotels. This hotel group is owned by Israeli Billionaire David Fattal and hosted events for the soldiers of the Netzah Yehuda Battalion as a reward for their hard work committing various war crimes and murdering civilians.

Corbyn had his flaws and is very unlikely to play that big a role in any future left wing movement. But remembering which "very left wing actually" people vehemently opposed mild social democracy is essential for any future left wing movement to succeed.

Any regrets about campaigned so hard to destroy Jeremy Corbyn yet? 🤯 www.dumptheguardian.com/global/comme...

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

There are many mysteries and ambiguities in life but the nature of this gesture is not among them. It's a Nazi salute.

MODERN NATION STATE SLAVERY Third World countries not alowed to develop and grow their own food to feed their own people are kept as slaves to the US dollar. This is capitalism at its most evil. www.facebook.com/reel/1577544...

I second this.
