President Donald Trump said Palestinians won’t have the right to return to the territory under his plan to take control and rebuild the Gaza Strip, according to interview excerpts released

Well, anyone with even half a braincell knew that the Dicktater in chief would say something like this. He wants the land for his own personal use.

We already knew - but here’s the confirmation. War criminal.

Trump is talking about taking over Canada, re-taking the Panama Canal with a military presence. The West sends money & weapons to Ukraine because that's exactly what Putin is doing. He took the Donbas and wants total control of the Black Sea. If one can't do it, why is the other allowed?

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

Truth

The best thing about BlueSky is not financing a sociopath.

I've started to put the Xmas tree up before the 1st of December. This will never, ever, ever happen again. I'm disgusted with myself, but having Xmas day this weekend for the fam who are emigrating next week. Looking forward to a future Xmas in the 🌞

As ever

ICC issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant is welcome, but it's taken a long time.

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

Just so we’re clear - Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

That disclaimer about Gerry Adams at the end of each of the episodes in #saynothingfx 😂 Fantastic show about a complex time in Northern Ireland. Disappearing people is incredibly cruel, no matter the cause.

Hello peeps. We're not here yet, but thinking about it. The 60s video rule is gonna be tough cf. Twitter/X, but maybe there will be fewer reach limits on sharing embeds from YouTube which always felt repressed. Here's a test - song from UK in 2022 that feels relevant post Trump: youtu.be/4uaXL4Eq6mk

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.

With Conor McGregor's case in the news and seeing people say, "she went willingly to the hotel," here's a reminder on consent:

My face when I open ‘the other place’.

We tend to think of crappy far right "gift shops" as a modern phenomenon, but here's Mosley's "Action" newspaper in the 1930s selling absolute tat to its gullible fascist readers.

Let's see some cats

Just a chonky boy annoyed he's getting no more chicken. #cats

Introduce yourself as a TV character

Let's do it. Bring back #girlpower

This is essential viewing. Add to the ramping up of his comments regarding European leaders, and I don't think he will stop with the White House.

As the US elections have proved, our politics is distorted by billionaire press owners and big tech broligarchy. People live in information bubbles, starved of truth. The resistance begins here 👉 subscribe.bylinetimes.com

One second. One minute. One hour. One day. One week. One month. One year. It doesn't matter HOW much time passes, it will NEVER seem normal to me that America elected an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon as President. NEVER.

It’s no longer God Bless America It’s now GOD HELP AMERICA❗️🤦🏼‍♂️ In answer to this👇🏼” “Yes the Americans who voted you in are stupid, beyond all human belief”❗️🙄🙄🤷🏼‍♂️

Why do we continue to elevate sexual predators into positions of power? For all the supposed "progress" in the Western world, we really haven't progressed at all.
