The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

Put up by Katy Brand today - this is the story over and over again

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

The role of the photo caption editor in civil society is often overlooked

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

@samcoatessky.bsky.social was expressing his astonishment yesterday on Sky News that the PM had singled out one judicial review applicant to blame for the legal challenges bedevilling infrastructure projects. Let’s fix that 😈 Here’s a story that starts with a man shut in his cellar.

Great analogy

Brilliant.

Just saying.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

RedNote. 🤣 The Americans were not expecting the Chinese humour.

Once more with feeling and a dollop of frustration … Taking our work without permission or payment is theft. thttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/14/british-novelists-criticise-government-over-ai-theft#img-1

Jesus wept - this actually happened

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

I took some more photos of poor Pepper today. He is so sweet and loving and gentle but nobody has wanted to adopt him just because he looks a little bit scrungly. 😢 Please share with anyone you know in northern Vermont who might be interested! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Number 3 from the fascists playbook - silence all critics. ✅

Trump should be in jail. Instead - he's about to get handed the keys to the White House. That this can happen is not only mind-boggling, it's frankly terrifying I'm afraid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For the love of god! #thetraitorsuk

It’d be awfully embarrassing for Liz Truss if everyone was to post: LIZ TRUSS CRASHED THE ECONOMY.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

Liz Truss threatens to sue Keir Starmer unless he "ceases and desists" from alleging she crashed the economy. In other news, here's Liz Truss making the exact same allegation against Gordon Brown

Imagine thinking it is okay to physically corner and push two women like this, in order to shout at them what Elon Musk thinks about a public emergency in which he has no locus, in an area with which he has absolutely zero connection. WTAF
