Scratch the surface of every terrible idea and there is a v good chance that Peter thiel will be funding it

Hahahahahah

Richard Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori are running the #LondonMarathon this Sunday. Richard Ratcliffe, husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, is running for Amnesty UK and Anoosheh is running for Hostage International.

How is this happening so flagrantly?! Abhorrent on every level.

ICE deported a US-citizen, who is a child with stage 4 metastatic cancer, along with his mother and sibling with no due process and no plan of care. Kidnapped and sent away. #MomSky #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

Can you imagine the week long furore if a Democrat wore a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral?

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Can someone change the locks on the White House while he’s gone?

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us that when the washing machine says it has one minute left on the cycle that it'll actually be finished in one minute.

Milei looks like a 70’s Welshman who passed out drunk on his nephew’s stag do in Brynamman RFC & mysteriously woke up in the Vatican

Donald Trump is auctioning off presidential face time to the biggest investors in his personal crypto coin scheme and using the White House for personal profit. Despicable. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

Playing is a fundamental human right...Come and play in Forest of Imagination this year. ✨ At Dinton Pastures for the community of Wokingham May 22-25 🌱 Bath edition later this year 🌳

Who could have predicted ?

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

Me with every post of US plans right now. What the actual of actuals and AGAIN how is this blatant takeover being allowed to happen in plain sight?!

DOGE's criminal hackers & foreign agents are kluging together a massive sloppy data lake including biometric data to geolocate dissidents and anyone they deem undesirable for surveillance, harassment & deportation to foreign gulags. No kings, no tyranny! via @wired.com www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

The administration is misrepresenting documents that are publicly available. They are relying on people not bothering to read them, or purposely misreading them, and this is the media aiding in that cynical and anti-democratic task.

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

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. 😎✨

Dark Ferris Bueller.

Everything in the post below re Paula White, as well as this gem of an Easter grift from her to UNLOCK YOUR ANGEL, 7 BLESSINGS FROM GOD and a cross for just $1000 ( tax free for them) … is just hideous. If it wasn’t all so terrible it would be hilarious from this QVCWH youtu.be/IoSOVxtly2s?...

Who could have predicted?

took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)

I actually just cannot fathom this is happening

I know this is my current std response to most things but in this case it’s with all caps energy and toppings. WHAT THE ACTUAL ACTUAL FUCK? Omfg America.

OMFG. Another piece in the puzzle. Does not bode well.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
