If, when asked by a waitress if you have any allergies, your answer is “women” then I feel very sorry for you. I suspect you’re having a life filled with stressful relationships which you think are entirely not your fault. You’ll likely live out a life of disappointment, superficiality & loneliness.

He seems the closest living thing we have to a vampire

It’s very disturbing watching USA turn into a fascist state. Like watching rot at speed.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

I would guess that our Rural Payments Agency employs thousands?? of staff to ensure farmers get all the right allowances. I was on the fence about the farm tax but if Reeves hurts farmers again there will be a revolt.

Taken me a while to realise that their goal IS to destroy America, to burn it all down, so they can eradicate democracy and start from scratch. It’s societal collapse they want so that they are unchallenged building Arian state v2. I hadn’t understood the depth of their ambition.

An FBI inquiry was briefly opened, then dropped, after which the scientist was deported to France.

Trump just signed an EO to begin dismantling the Department of Education, a congressionally-created agency. 1. This is unlawful. 2. This is straight out of Project 2025. The goal is twofold: privatization and ideological curriculum control. 3. This will hurt red states most.

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power. Help us fight back and elect Susan Crawford: PeopleVMusk.com

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

He’s trying to brush off the share price losses at his car company, saying it’ll be “fine over the long term”. That does rather assume it will survive the long-term. I urge all shareholders to sell now.

I’m grateful that we have a serious adult in charge of the U.K. government. I disagree with him on much, but I believe lives will be saved by having Starmer rather than Johnson, Truss, Badenoch, or Sunak.

They are boiling us alive slowly in a pan. Today the temperature got perceptibly warmer.

I knew there would be a day when the media started musing about whether Britain will ever again need to conscript its young people. I think it’s extremely unlikely but as a parent of sons, it’s not a topic of social chatter I’m looking forward to overhearing.

First real moment of British pride in a VERY long time.

What they gonna do when the ATC’s go on strike? Fire them all?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This is the biggest shitshambles I ever got to watch in real time.

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?

Is it really the case that there aren’t 6 qualified, female astronauts or pilots available for this trip? Or might it be that Blue Origin has overlooked career women in favour of rich celebrities??

Respectfully, factually, honestly, & in good faith, I feel that trans has become an umbrella term encompassing a vast majority of perfectly safe, mature individuals, and a very small minority of the deluded, cheats, r4pists & p3rverts. How do we ensure allyship for the former & jail for the latter?

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

😕

The suggestion that today’s fascists will openly use yesterday’s fascist symbols & gestures *exactly* is naive. They have already embedded their own new fascist symbols: “MAGA”, the red hat, the arm raise, the slogan. And ignorant fools will deny this because they didn’t see it coming until too late

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

He nails it.

Elon Musk is to Donald Trump what Dominic Cummings was to Boris Johnson. The Barnard Castle moment will come. And then democracy will hand them all their arses.

Italian editorial cartoonist Paolo Lombardi notes that Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war mirrors Hitler’s false claim Poland attacked German troops shortly before he launched the Nazi invasion.

Decided not to book the California-Arizona-Utah road trip for this June. It looks like the National Parks will be carnage, and I don’t want to be part of that, for us or for them. So, it’ll be Italy this year and let’s see what state the States are in next year.

BT email system down. Royal Mail tracking system down. 2 weeks ago Barclays payment system down for days. These aren’t coincidences are they. It feels like a war is being fought by hackers and our IT colleagues.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Nearly 1m children in UK at risk of poverty due to housing costs – report www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Men who love and respect their wives do not walk them naked down a red carpet. The optics of a fully clothed man leading a sombre, naked woman by the hand just scream “s3x slave”

Politicians have lied to us for so long that people are struggling to believe Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do. America, sadly the next 4 years are going to teach us all a lesson.

The challenge of squaring up to Trump and Musk is that they will always go way, way beyond your moral red lines. Then waddya do? Match them or fold? This isn’t a trade war it’s a soul fire-sale.

Fisherman said Brexit had been a “disaster” for his industry and that it was “costing him dearly”. www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/brex...

Now that we’re on our way to hell in a hand cart, I’m increasingly appreciating the value of comfort and sanctuary. The love of my children and spouse, family and friends. A warm bed, music, the outdoors, hot drinks, great stories and dramas, nature, good food, the night sky. Focussing on these.

“Donald Trump will demand access to the UK markets for US hormone-pumped beef and pork in return for a trade deal” inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Trump’s plan to deport the immigrants then turn white women into baby machines to replace cheap labour requires at least 20 years of consistent major social engineering. Meanwhile, fewer cheap workers but more babies sounds like an economic and social catastrophe. America is fucked.
