Murphy inspires #Pompey 's third victory in a row šŸ’Ŗ | Portsmouth 2-1 QPR | Championship Highlights Sky Sports Football

Thereā€™s a blood sport happening live on #bbcQT this evening with the chair of Republicans Overseas getting her arse handed to her on a plate. And she looks well terrified too. Good. #fucktrump

Speaking as a recipient of adult social care (from a great team of women mostly from Africa) I can confirm what @johnharris1969.bsky.social is saying. Itā€™s outrageous to expect these people to leave their families behind while being essential to caring for ours. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Humanity is failing. The US under Trump is just speeding it all up.

Ive lived through a few pivotal moments in my 60-odd years and this looks like being one of the biggest. It feels like the continents are audibly and tangibly shifting on their tectonic plates with every passing day. And not in a good way. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Omg, #pompey. Thatā€™s more like it! Good result. Best wishes to the fan in the stands who was taken ill.

What you are seeing this morning over the refugee decision is Labour alienating and offending its remaining liberal supporters without bringing any new voters onside.

Well thatā€™s my vote lost from Labour next time round. This is disgraceful. Persuade me differently if you are able to. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

@lewisgoodall.com Itā€™s not just peopleā€™s ā€˜nans and granddadsā€™ that need social care! Itā€™s also younger disabled adults like myself. Fed up with being overlooked in this debate. @lbc.co.uk #disability

Yes! #scotland

chng.it/kQZBnXZDr2 Please consider signing this petition to improve access to interpretation services for deaf-blind people. Itā€™s incredibly important as this service is currently woeful. #disability

Disgusting.

@babylon5group.bsky.social Hey, glad to find another B5 person on Bluesky. Iā€™ve been thinking itā€™s getting a bit ā€˜Ministry of Peaceā€™ and the Nightwatch over in the US at the moment. I may need to start a B5 rewatch.

One of my favourite poems. #poetry

Itā€™s a dreich and miserable day here in Portsmouth. Come on, #pompey. Give us something to cheer about?

Wise words.

Sunset over Truro River. However your day went, tomorrow is a new start. Let your regrets go. And hold on to your successes. Ultimately, know that your best today was good enough. Rest well, my friends. šŸ˜Š #Cornwall #sunset #calm #nature #sky #peace #river #walk #life #mindfulness #photography

BREAKING: The US State Department flag has been spotted flying upside downā€”a universal signal of distress.

ā€œHe did not explain how and under what authority the US can take over the land of Gaza.ā€ Well of course he bloody didnā€™t! B/c itā€™s arrant nonsense that bears no relation to observable reality except in what could loosely be described as his ā€˜mindā€™. #fucktrump www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country. I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him. RecogniseĀ PalestineĀ now, before it's too late.

Is anyone else finding it very difficult to keep going, what with all of the chaos going on?

Global Warming Has Accelerated Dr James Hansen et al. Find here a recording of the paper launch presentation, with contributing scientists: www.youtube.com/live/d6wOjk2...

Because nothing says ā€˜governing in the interests of the American peopleā€™ like banning any attempt to remove lead contamination from drinking water. Madness. #fucktrump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yesterday evening... Germany can spot Nazis a mile away.

The ignorance and stupidity is actually painful to behold.

ā€œTrump warns Americans that tariffs may cause 'pain' Donald Trump has said that Americans may feel economic ā€œpainā€ from his tariffs on key trading partners.ā€ (The Guardian). Oops. Thatā€™s not what he promised you, is it? Idiots.

www.thehandbasket.co/p/musk-frida... The speed at which this is happening is breathtaking and extremely worrying. Americaā€™s Trump voters, I donā€™t think this is what you thought you were voting for.

#disability #fucktrump

What a day. On the one hand, lingering disgust with Trumpā€™s press conference yesterday. On the other, two client sessions where there was such an emotional healing connection. An antidote to the anxiety engendered by remembering a victim of Nazi ā€˜race purityā€™ policy and its disturbing echoes today.
