Prescient. Labour needs to start listening to its people or they will keep listening to those who do. And stopped taking money from health and aid to fund defence. Tax the unfeasibly rich? They can afford it!!! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan. He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable. He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

Americans strike back!

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House. #SlavaUkraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

Norway takes a stand. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fu...

It is essential that the London summit on Sunday delivers meaningful, tangible outcomes, No more talk, Europe, #JustDoIt - Plan (w money & weapons) to win in Ukraine - Seize Russian assets - Plan (& money) to rearm Europe. fast - Plan to defend Europe without US (incl. nukes)

Wow!

And if the misnomered 'wealth creators' leave then let them go! And the UK rebuilds.

Chatting to a friend yesterday about the Armageddon we are experiencing in the world of TV production & filmmaking. I mention Netflix says she 'they the McDonald's of streaming. The first hit is delicious & u gorge on it then u realise you're still hungry & it's not doing you any good!' Apt or what?

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today. The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office. That's traumatizing.

Consequences. Intentional or unintentional? I am no longer sure. The best way to subjugate your own people is to first of all strip them - not the rich - of their assets and their confidence.

After slaughtering tens of thousands in Gaza, Israel embarked on a forced displacement campaign in the West Bank. Neither proved severe enough to curb Europe’s enthusiasm for collaboration. — writes Belén Fernández for #AJOpinion ⤵️

🚨The European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas : “The free world needs a new leader” The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Didn't think of this!

To all our Muslim brothers and sisters.

That time of the night when I have to turn off the commentary about today's events in the US Whitehouse. Not because the voices disagree with what I believe but because they disagree with what I saw!

Carla Sand is a nasty piece of work. Zelensky 'put on a show'. We all saw it Carla. We see you too.

Gabriel Gatehouse and News night actually analysing what actually happened unlike the news. Powerful stuff.

Maybe now we will see statesmen and women finally taking centre stage. Excuse me while I make sure my son has ordered his Irish passport

BBC is seriously doing a shit job of reporting what we have seen. Zelensky responded. He did not set this off. Trump, Vance & Putin have got what they want.

This is a fucking setup. Americans your bastard of a bully president & his Vice look pathetic. I reckon Zelensky walked away. BBC feeding the beast like Trump somehow this acceptable. Europe better step up. US is betting on WWIII and setting up it's scapegoat www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump...

Discussing Severance with a young person who spent time on section. They tell me the series is the closest representation they have ever seen of what it's like to be on a psych ward. Altered perception of time & place, dissociation, the break room. Now gotta rewatch all over again #Severance

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly. Let’s start today.

Staffer for Rep. Jeff Hurd sees crowd at townhall event and just bolts, apparently. www.durangoherald.com/articles/rep...

lots of people rightfully hailing the great gene hackman performances but let me say a word for his role as the villain in sam raimi’s THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. he brings so much genuine menace to the performance, it’s electrifying

That's it really

He's such a beg.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Publish it. PIP saves lives & helps disabled people thrive. It is not wasteful or wasted. It works. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/research-tha...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Community is core. I watched the Brits do community in a way I had never seen before during covid & thought they had finally found their power. But then they gave it all back to those who would see them as feckless. It might just have been a dry run! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

RIP Gene Hackman…

Did they pay for the private jet? Or someone else?

Perhaps a hand overplayed by Trump? Also terrifying for women given what this could unleash on the ground. Just hope all those who voted MAGA know that their daughters/mothers/sisters & aunts will not be immune and that we women far away in UK and Ireland show how powerful our solidarity can be

Today, the BBC Board meets to decide the fate of the important documentary film, “Gaza: How To Survive a War Zone” which has been taken off-air under unfair political pressure. Please share this post to make sure the BBC Board can hear us when we say: #StopCensoringPalestine @art4pal.bsky.social
