Diary of Anne Frank, 1943

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Alan Titmarsh getting crucified on HIGNFY Julian Clary is hilarious

It’s not rocket science, lads.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

On the campaign trail today, Farage told a group of voters in the North that he understood the worries of the steelworkers because he used to be “in the metals business”. That would be the London Metals Exchange in the city where he worked as a commodities trader. (h/t Tom Baldwin)

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Bullshit barbie A great nickname

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Numerous Tories charged with betting offences connected with insider knowledge of the 2024 election. Now do the "VIP lane" pandemic contracts. And the selling of honours for donations. And the routine granting of political favours to generous cronies. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Anglican Water who increased their customers bills an average of 19% in April have said they are unlikely to be able to put in any more money for investment. Nationalise them now, it is the only way to stop the theft.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

In Scotland they have had to increase security on Trumps golf course as Scots are breaking in ad having a poo in the holes

“As is evident, simply by looking at him, Dear Leader is in exquisite health, having the trim body of an athletic 23-year-old, the mind of an inquisitive genius, an the couth of the most refined men. Truly, the most perfect human walking among we lesser mortals. Praise God!” --The Court Physician

We need her in the resistance...

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Anyone remember this?

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.

Inviting Trump for a full state visit is an abomination after last week He is a convicted felon. Starmer and Charley boy should grow a pair and show dome loyalty to Canada. True allies He is not welcome

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

50 countries, then 90 countries, now 75. At this point The White House are just throwing out random numbers, rather ridiculously. #DonaldTrump

Maybe we could all pitch in and buy them some Kool-Aid...

Nice try.

How can we have a POTUS that talks in this much confusion....

In the run-up to the local elections on May 1st, Reform UK and its candidates are being subjected to greater scrutiny. Scrutiny isn’t something that the far-right party likes.!! @leftfootforward.bsky.social leftfootforward.org/2025/04/refo...

Good news - Arrested on suspicion of fraud 5 years after the pandemic reached UK, 4 years after Good Law Project revealed Luxe Lifestyle Ltd bagged a £25.7m PPE contract with no employees & thousands of pounds of debts, two people involved with the troubled company are being investigated by HMRC

Ding dong

Absolutely!

We have a winner!

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

At some point the Labour leadership have to openly face up to the fact that the far right, domestically and globally, and the groups bankrolling their rise, are their and anyone else committed to liberal democracy and human rights’s principal adversary and need to be confronted directly.

Trump’s whopping great tariffs on the tiny African nation of Lesotho sum up the full madness of the scheme. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

After the massive, nationwide #HandsOff protest, Trump was asked on Fox what the protesters wanted from the President. His answer is exactly why people call him #DementiaDon.

The president’s son Eric Trump posted this. Chilling. He deleted it - but here it is
