"'She’s a very talented scientist with huge potential … the capacity to be the best of the best,' he said..." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The festival's annual 'Burning of Judas' tradition opted to put a certain president in the line of fire this year...

Thank you to everyone around the world who helped bring Tesla's net income down 71%! Now THAT is a successful boycott. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

“Britain is in the grip of an economic and social crisis. Corporate greed, the relentless pursuit of unsustainable growth, and the misguided attempt to replicate the economic model of the United States have driven inequality to new extremes.” 👏👏👏 💯

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

Do people not remember what happened to women last time? "he's taking everybody's stuff out…That's his speciality, he's the uterus collector". "an experimental concentration camp. It was like they're experimenting with our bodies." #3E #opDeathEaters www.bbc.com/news/world-l...

The only viable solution to these dangerous NHS waits is to put bed capacity back to what it was in 2010. If you shrink your health service as demands for it increases then it is not surprising people have to wait longer. It’s not rocket science. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs. Britons found to have ‘lost out’ while the rest of Europe benefits from a golden age of research and treatments. Brexit harms ordinary people. It must be ended ASAP. #RejoinEU www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Yes, it does.

I Completely Agree! You?😊💙

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Difference?

A free tip for Keir Starmer If you want to do better in the polls, stop obsessing with reform and simply do better. Leave the disabled alone Tax the rich Nationalise infrastructure Pay workers properly It's quite simple!

Our next article comes from @yorkshirebylines.co.uk in which the author @lisaburton.bsky.social exposes Nigel Farage’s history of incitement and violent rhetoric /1 #TruthToPower

25th Amendment time?! 👇 Whatcha thinkin’?! 🤔

DOGE douchebag, 25 yr old Gavin Kliger, is accused of yelling at Federal workers who were made to work a 36-hour shift in order to fire people! People need to know the name of the jerk who treated these people this way! #impeachTrump #FuckElon #FuckDOGE www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

America is rapidly turning into a country ruled by state terror.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

There is no Cost of Living Crisis. Supermarkets have permanently quadrupled their profits. Energy Companies have permanently x10ed their profits. It is a Cost of Greed Crisis and it needs to be reversed.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

It fascinates me that giving to charity is considered ‘noble and praiseworthy’… But, creating an economic system that works for EVERYONE and doesn't require charity, is considered socialist and evil. Mind-boggling. 😎✨

Let this sink in.

You know it.

From the UK it's looking like they really do want to cull the population in the US 😶

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

Reform UK are in talks with Liz Truss. Their policies already look pretty certain to tank the economy, but they must want to be absolutely sure.

Absofuckinglutly!!!

Wait. What the actual fuck?!? Are we dead yet?
