The Cruelty ls The Point! You Would Have To Be An Awful Person To Support Such Policies..

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

My take on a complete farce from Nigel Farage and Reform today. Just what Labour wanted. ✍️"For a man who comes across as oozing self-confidence and claiming to speak for real people, Nigel Farage’s whistle-stop tour of Scotland has shown he has incredibly thin skin." www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Talking to gulping Philp is like talking to the human equivalent of a ‘404: Page Not Found’ error. #ukpolitics

Follow Christo, @michaeldweiss.bsky.social, @theins.press and Bellingcat. Russia has been at war with humanity for over a decade. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/o...

"The threat from Russia against all of us is real and it is serious," - Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. "Putin is talking about peace during the day and bombing at night. We see a more aggressive Russia approach in the Baltic Sea region”

Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev: “The Istanbul talks are not about peace but about victory and the destruction of Ukraine’s leadership.”

Republicans are going to force 7.4 million Americans into hunger so billionaires can continue to write off the full cost of their private jets and yachts on their taxes. 8 of the 10 states hardest hit will be Republican states. Republicans call this "America First."

Reform’s answer to local government: do nothing Farage and his cronies have no idea … all talk and no trousers The sad thing is that those who support him are the same www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

I feel safer already.

Turns out DOGE is more than just a fake agency, it’s cuts are fake too. A dog and pony show. Uncover the truth behind the fake “savings” and the real cost to taxpayers… like… your information. Watch now: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-8YR...

I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The Christians in Congress should be feeding the hungry, but they're cutting food stamps. They should be healing the sick, but they are cutting Medicaid. They should be standing up to the billionaire class, but instead they're cutting their taxes."

“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening...” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
