MUST WATCH: Imagine being so much of a global joke that the UK has to step in and flame you for America. Trump is humiliating us, and Jonathan Pie is handing him the public execution he deserves.

This is rather enjoyable. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brilliant front page

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

I'm in ! Tell me how.

This is the reality of Ukrainian childhood right now. Waiting and hoping your parents will come home... 📹 kristinakuznietsova/TikTok

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

"Three years on from the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the crowd that gathered in London was not just there to mourn but to demand action." Report from today's Ukraine Solidarity protest, which we were proud to support.

Watching people who used to bleat about accusations of racism choose between being blatantly racist or clutching their pearls at all the blatant racism they enabled is not as much fun as you might think. (See also Donald Trump & fascism.)

A reminder that the leader of the French far-right movement pulled out of his CPAC speech because he was uncomfortable with Nazi ideology at the conference.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

I actually managed to find the funny in this one. Yeah, I know, under THESE conditions?! Remarkable. I’ll do a shot of Novichok to celebrate. Russian warship, go fuck yourself! Here’s my take: Are Trump, Musk & Johnson KGB Agents? Yeah, Probably. youtu.be/XvBGrQ8gKEg?...

This is real. And I have never seen the competence, morals, standards and communication strategy of any government collapse so fast.

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

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Thousands protest in London ahead of third anniversary of Ukraine war Several Labour politicians spoke at the rally, including Emily Thornberry, who said Britain needed to stand "visibly and unwaveringly" with Ukraine news.sky.com/story/thousa...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

Don't hold back now.

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

We may have left the EU in 2016 after lies, misinformation, and promises of prosperity that have not materialised Luckily for us, the EU isn't that far away, it's just next door Anyone else want the UK 🇬🇧 to rejoin the EU 🇪🇺 ?

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

The author reminds us of “the “smoky room experiment”. In this study, when a person is alone in a room that begins to fill with smoke, three-quarters raise the alarm within minutes. Yet, when surrounded by others who remain passive, only 10% take action. This is the “bystander effect”,

Byline Times, "Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief" bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

In this crazy, unstable and dangerous world it is utter madness to remain out of the EU. #RejoinEU #Rejoin

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

Bloody hell. It’s even worse than I thought from ex Tory Whip, Simon Hart’s, memoirs. “he got a panicked 2.45am phone call from a Tory 2019-er MP saying he was in a brothel after being entrapped by a KGB spy. It gets worse apple.news/A3LF6954HT7a...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

General Sir Nick Carter, "Donald Trump has been treating his allies like enemies" "Many of us are feeling deeply uncomfortable about some of the rhetoric" "There's only one thing worse than fighting alongside allies, it's fighting without allies.. Trump needs to remember that"

People i know who had a Tesla have sold them. Nobody wants a Tesla now

I wonder what the reaction would be if left wing British politicians were paid to appear at conferences in China badmouthing the UK?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Helping a sovereign democracy in Europe defend its lands and freedoms from murderous war criminal Putin, is in US interest and that of our allies. Ukrainians are doing the fighting & the dying Helping them is strategically and morally right & should never be transactional.

Excellent work by Ukrainian marines in Ulakly,Donetsk region Only one Russian armored vehicle out of 10 survived the Russian assault through the minefield,& it was later destroyed with the help of drones and artillery.The assault was repulsed with absolutely no losses Glory! 📹37th Marine Brigade

A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve “norms” and protect “the rights of the minority” We couldn’t have gotten here without you

U.S. Republican Senator Thom Tillis called Putin "a cancer&the greatest threat to democracy" in his lifetime: "So,when I tell that Putin is a liar,a murderer&a man responsible for ordering the systematic torture,kidnapping&rape of innocent civilians,believe me — because the evidence is mile high"

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥
