Tomorrow marks the 3rd anniversary of Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. His forces bombed cities like Mariupol into rubble. Raped, tortured & murdered civilians. Targeted maternity & children's hospitals. I took this photo of one the mass graves - it contained 445 bodies in Izium (1/2)

It's amazing some people see multimillionaire Nigel Farage, owned by GB News, owned by Donald Trump, owned by Elon Musk, never worked a real job in his life. A billionaire owned, never a common man. But still they think, he's going to fight for me against the billionaires. 🤣

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Another Banksy style classic.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

This is very important imagery. Especially on US soil. At this exact time in history.

"Tyranny is rising in the White House, and a man has declared himself our king. So I would like to know—rather, the *people* would like to know, what you, Congressman, and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House."

That was not just a hockey game. I was so anxious I couldn't watch it. I took it in Foster Hewitt-style and listened to the commentary from the next room. To Jon Cooper and the guys, thank you. Thank you for carrying that weight for us all for a few hours. Thank you for making us so proud. ❤️

You can and should nationalise the Water Companies today, and pay them back when and IF you feel like it. Their huge debts and massive sewage dumping is enough to remove their licenses to supply water from them for good.

Unapologetically. ✊🇪🇺

Sophy Ridge calls out President Trump's lies, "Donald Trump said Ukraine should never have started the war, that is not true, and it should be called out"

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

The role of the Billionaire Media is to spread the lies the billionaires want you to hear, and hide the truth they don't want you to see. That's it, they were never about providing you with news or facts or the truth. It has always been a sham, now it is just 100% obvious.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I can't imagine how rough it is to be one of the hundreds of medics who were taking exams in 2023. Today's news is absolutely horrendous. Anyone who thinks UK postgraduate medical training is still the envy of the world is kidding themselves. It is both a farce and a tragedy.

BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer has spoken to Zelenskyy this evening expressing his support, Downing Street has said

No, 18 months later. Let’s have an inquiry. Who hid the turd under the carpet?

Heat pump sales fall because in 🇬🇧 (relatively clean) electricity is charged at 4 times the price of dirty gas per kWh….which is insane given renewables produce electricity at markedly lower cost than gas Where electricity is priced more comparable to gas, heat pump installation rises (eg Sweden)

Do I think for a moment that Trump actually BELIEVES Ukraine started the war 3yrs ago? Not for a second It really is beyond belief But the fact that he’s willing to say it, making himself look so ridiculous, is a clear indication of the extent to which he is bought, paid for & controlled by Putin

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

They love to dish it but they can never take it.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

The Trump Show is the band that is currently trashing your dressing room, because trashing their own wasn't enough. You're going to have to kick them out anyway, so you may as well do it now, before they do real damage.

Inflation still rising Wages still stagnating Why? Because our political leaders serve neoliberal capital and big business, not the people. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If they don't want to be portrayed like that then why do they act exactly like that?

Hm. I feel like I’ve heard all these promises about new software & NHS data trawls delivering “patient empowerment” & “streamlining” everything from appointments to imaging to managing wards & waits, before. Never really seems to deliver But this time it’s Thiel’s Palantir so that’s alright then😬

Nope. Easy answer. Nope. Ya'll need to turn off the damn spigot and since that isn't happening, the answer is nopeity, nope nope nope.

Republicans need to ask themselves…

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Recent poll results: 🟣 REF UK 26% (+1) 🌹 LAB 25% (-) 🔵 CON 23% (-) 🔶 LIB DEM 12% (-) 💚 GREEN 7% (-1) 🟡 SNP 2% (-) We need to stop promoting right wing ideology. We need to promote a genuine and hopeful socialist alternative.

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.

'Shameful day for U.S.': Expert stunned after Trump sides with 'war criminal' Putin Longtime Washington Post columnist David Ignatius almost speechless on MSNBC after watching Trump spew flagrant falsehoods about Russia's invasion of Ukraine while siding with Putin www.rawstory.com/trump-putin-...

Too much current affairs today! 2025 is getting a tad too much!

Republicans in America need to grow a backbone and impeach Trump! Can they not see the threat to them, America and now the World? Trump is too stupid and narcissistic to realize this. He will do a Nero and fiddle while Rome burns!

If you lose all the services your tax dollars paid for, that’s not a saving, that’s theft. “We still take your money and now you get fuck all in return.”

Alice Weidel, Germany's far-right leader, lives in Switzerland and is raising two sons with her Sri Lankan-born wife. Her party, the Alternative for Germany, campaigns on a platform that is anti-immigrant and defines family as a father and a mother raising children.
