they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

In a massive screeching u-turn, here's Trump making the case that illegal immigrants in the USA can be hard workers and valuable assets to the communities they live in. It's hard to imagine his base will take this calmly, but then he (probably) doesn't have to care about getting re-elected...

Heil Trump. #bbcpm

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s Obama appreciation day!! #NoKings

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Dropping Like Flies: Reform Loses Nine Councillors in Six Weeks hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/13/d...

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

I guess all 14 of them now have the right credentials to defect to reform. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

START MY PARADE! ==============

All set for tomorrow

Of cause he can't restrain Netanyahu. Trumps can't even restrain his own bowl movements. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Spotted in Houston today

The chancellor missed the chance to support councils in the spending review this week. Years of cuts into District & County councils budgets means that services could be affected without urgent action. Great comments on this from @willforster.bsky.social www.standard.co.uk/business/bus...

🔥 The court just confirmed what we all know — the military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. This win is not just for California, but the nation. It’s a check on a man whose authoritarian tendencies are increasing by the day. End the illegal militarization of Los Angeles now!

Britain's richest man, Brexiter Sir Jim Ratcliffe, moved to Monaco to save £4bn in tax. So much for the patriotism of the Brexiters. (Credit to Nick Reeves on the other place) @nickreeves.bsky.social

Trump the doddering old fart soils himself trying fix something he promised he would again. Just like Ukraine, the US budget, Unite his Country, Restore peace in Europe and the middle east, make America great again, etc etc www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

More straws on the camels back Not good for Warwickshire with reform (we don't believe in SEND) with the most seats. Others Coventry (lab), Solihull (tory), Birmingham (lab) are all having financial problems. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Tories warn Reform's 'DOGE' a “security disaster waiting to happen" www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/2523486...

Well, if the US is slipping into a dictatorship I'm not surprised. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Charlie Angus, Canadian politician summarises Trump’s criminal action since becoming the president of the US, and before. He calls for blocking his attendance at G7 in Canada. www.facebook.com/share/r/1AEV...

‘Reform UK councils in ‘shambles’ Across the 12 Reform-controlled councils, 33 meetings have been cancelled or postponed in the first nine weeks since the election, and at least 21 Reform councillors have missed their first meetings. #ReformUk www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Don't you just love trying to scam a scammer :-)

The routine dehumanising and killing of Palestinians continues on a daily basis. Why is our government not pulling out all the stops to prevent this outrage, in the name of humanity? #GazaAtrocities #NotInOurName #Sanctions www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

£25 billion in frozen Russian assets sit idle in the UK — money that could support Ukraine. In the face of Putin’s war machine, “it’s complicated” is not good enough from the Prime Minister.

They really should remove the World Cup from the USA and let Canada and Mexico do it all. Spread the message if you agree.

Just in time for Taco Tuesday! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😜
