Let’s go!!! 🇺🇦 Pro-Ukraine protest outside the Russian embassy. ✊

DOGE says they will invest in the UK if we roll back abortion clinic safe zones youtu.be/ndGzhe8hEoE?...

A reliable voice. If you've never seen Jonathan Pie, then...brace yourself. youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Gene therapy they say? I'm sure the "vaxenes are gene therapy" mob would rather a child be blind, sadly, than admit they were wrong. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta away. Get it? I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

The extraordinary eye of the bearded vulture. Spanish+Catalan terms quebrantahuesos/trencalòs (bonebreaker) refers to it dropping bones from high to smash on rocks to get marrow. Didn't manage last yea. For the Basques it's ugatz-I'd love to use that in a conversation one day. Begiratu! Ugatz bat!

The allegations of Trump's KGB links are mounting up... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

Posting my embroidery so people can find me... 🐯 #embroidery #handembroidery

Always stand up to a bully

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

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.

French media publication Le Point are reporting that quite incredibly Trump will join Putin for Russia's May the 9th Victory Day celebrations. Are we witnessing America's final downfall on the world stage as we know it?

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

I have never doubted for one second that Trump is a rapist. The way he talks about Ukraine really confirms it. Ukraine sure as fuck wasn’t asking to be invaded.

Idiocracy was a documentary

We've come a long way from "I will lower prices on day one"

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Republicans are embracing full on fascism. Nazi salutes, siding with murderous dictators, trash talking our allies, promoting hate, racist ideology, and bigotry, as well as, gaslighting Americans 24/7. In 30 days Trump & Republicans have managed to tank America’s reputation. The world hates us.

Since putting up this crowdfunding page, the Daily Mail has sent us, through their lawyers (RPC), two defamation threats. A few points about them. 🧵 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Nice try, snowflakes.

So, Farage is a spokesperson for Trump and Trump is a spokesperson for Putin. It’s, quite ironically, like a game of Russian dolls. Except instead of dolls they’re ugly treacherous cunts.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare.

Breaking News: The Trump administration plans to cut 84% of staff at the office that funds the U.S.'s disaster recovery, raising questions about how the country will rebuild from hurricanes, wildfires and other calamities made worse by climate change.

"What a lie. And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media."

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Keir Starmer Urgently Needs a Vision to Unite the Nation and See Off the Far-Right. US, the world’s largest democracy slides into autocracy before our very eyes, we must be under no illusion: the same thing could happen in the UK. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/11/k...

Richard Tice has been spreading misinformation used by fossil fuel lobby groups to attack climate action. His party has fossil fuel linked donors. He attacks renewables and electric vehicles but apparently uses both. This video debunks his claims. Sources below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEyv...

According to JD Vance we should be more worried about an anti abortion protester who got fined than Putin’s sponsored murder of critics in English cathedral towns or election interference in European democracies, or destabilising western society with useful idiots like Farage.

Tories are shitheads. Always have been. Here's proof.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Leaving this here. Yes, it’s real. Yes, you can read it on The Telegraph website: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne...
