I know this is about the UK, but I think this is very much of interest to America. First Past the Post is so gameable, that there need to be a more representative voting system that doesn't allow the minority to rule the majority.

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

I messaged Ukrainian soldiers on the frontline about the Easter "ceasefire". Their answer: Russia is firing as usual and preparing new attacks. "For us, it’s just another day of war, with shelling and even an attempt to assault our positions," one brigade told me www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Farage has done an Easter message for the suckers who’d watch his film to hear his BS My Easter message to Farage is simple👇🏼 You said Mar 2017: “If Brexit is a disaster, I will go and live abroad. I will go and live somewhere else..” And May 2023 “Brexit has failed” So F**k off and leave the UK❗️

A murderer in church. His sins are unredeemable. What do you think he prays about? (If at all) Because of Putin, millions of Ukrainians cannot go to Easter service - we have curfew, and Russia destroyed or damaged hundreds of churches, killed almost 70 priests and pastors.

This is simply extraordinary. The Trump administration's argument is, essentially: if you receive some massively aggressive legal missive from the White House, don't respond in a timely way. Instead, chill out for a bit, in case we take it all back.

Trump used the official White House account to post this on #GoodFriday. As a devout Christian, I am disgusted with something so cruel on the day Christ was tortured and crucified. Furthermore, to use the phrase “He’s never coming back” two days before Easter seems targeted at believers.
