Trump is dithering over Ukraine and Iran because he's weak and indecisive about everything other than his own wealth, power, and self-glorification because those are the only things he cares about.

The White House has released an official photo of trump's national security team in the Situation Room.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

British MPs have voted to decriminalise abortion, marking the biggest step forward in reproductive rights in almost 60 years.

Not so much a president. More a godfather. And Starmer just stands there and takes it.

I don't know what a stock market is just that humans care about it way more than each other

"If Covid damaged our immune systems, we would be seeing record outbreaks of other diseases." That was the argument in 2022. Three years later, we're having the worst resurgence of flu, tuberculosis, measles, and whooping cough in generations.

JFC.

As always, Louise Casey is absolutely right here. And how utterly shocking that Badenoch is going to try and make political mileage out of this. It was her government, on which she sat on the front bench for years, who ignored this situation for a decade after it was exposed. Unctuous hypocrite

She was 5 years old btw, don't let anyone forget how heartless and cold these fuckers are. They fired hundreds of rounds at a little girl.

Not a trans woman 👇

This is what I wrote 10 years ago today about Donald Trump's first campaign announcement. www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix...

No sexism in Shakespeare. (Apart from in every. Single. Play.) As for racism, Othello, Merchant of Venice, Titus Andronicus don't exist?

Today is the anniversarry of Jo Cox's assassination, yet we find ourselves wretchedly further away from the principles by which she lived and for which she died. ~AA #MoreInCommon

honestly... you know, they said that it was about preventing predatory men from ???disguising themselves as women??? to attack women in toilets, and they knew trans women were no threat. but it wasn't. it was just to humiliate and dehumanise trans people, like any denial of basic dignified toilets

MORE MAGA Terrorism. Young angry white guy INTENTIONALLY drove his SUV into No King protesters in Virginia. As police stated he "intentionally accelerated his car" into crowd. This MAGA terrorist attack deserves far more coverage! www.12onyourside.com/2025/06/14/c...

wracking my brains to think of someone who would have had access to a police uniform, a police-issue plate carrier, and a police car

Toddlers can become overwhelmed if their birthday party lasts too long and interferes with nappy time #USDemocracy

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte

A right wing press and media are a danger to true democracy. Just look at the USA.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

It is just unbelievable to me that they are claiming the Secret Service couldn't immediately identify a US Senator *whose office is down the hall from the room where this press conference was taking place*

Will self-driving Tesla endanger Texas streets? Austin activists staged a demo on Thursday highlighting flaws in the company's "full self-driving" feature: bit.ly/45ZX3bc

Such a lying hypocrite!

Well done Governor Newsom 👏

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

I watched the Committee today, and the state the EHRC has ended up in is shameful. Unable to answer basic questions and making outrageous comments about trans people's human rights. It's time for us to intervene. And we can do that by turning up in Parliament and telling MPs to take action.
