Omg He actually posted this from the White House account. He is not stable. Dementia

The truth is the enemy of authoritarianism...

#Israel Accused of Drone Attack on 'Freedom Flotilla' Carrying Aid to Starving Gazans www.commondreams.org/news/freedom...

youtube.com/watch?v=No71... I'm sharing this again... This is fucking important..

“In other words, the BBC behaves much like Starmer’s government: appeasing critics on the right and far right, while suppressing the left.”

Starmer Complicit in Genocide! youtu.be/ih7o9ToFaSc?...

Oh FGS. Anything that upsets corporate power and/or the far right is now deemed by the BBC to invoke "public controversy", and must therefore be nixed. The BBC has done more to censor public debate than any other organisation in the UK. And still it goes on.

Just heard an independent journalist talk about asking the IDF about a Palestinian child shot by an Israeli sniper in the West Bank. Immediate response: he was throwing stones. It was from 300 meters away. IDF response: the matter is under investigation. Lying is an official policy of the IDF.

@mrjamesobrien.bsky.social The radio friendly first line is 'They MUCK you up, your Mum and Dad'.

Under the cover of its genocide in Gaza, the Israeli occupation has seized the opportunity to escalate its long-running campaign of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, by tightening its control through colonisation and expulsion. www.thecanary.co/long-read/20...

Good on Greyhound! #goodtrouble

YAAASSS GREYHOUND!!! That's the way to do it! Huge corporations CAN JUST SAY NO to ICE on property they own! #SayNoToNazis #ICEareNazis #ICEareGestapo

FBI has arrested Judge Hannah Dugan in Milwaukee, WI, for "helping an illegal escape arrest." FBI hasn't provided an arrest warrant or criminal complaint, but Judge Dugan already sits behind bars. We told you it would escalate when they disappeared immigrants without due process. This is fascism.

The genocide of the Palestinians was a litmus test. Enabling politicians (Biden, Harris, Trump, Sunak, Starmer) to commit fascism and genocode abroad empowers them to bring it all home. The Duopoly in many countries are funded by the same fascist billionaire network.

In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent. That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

Say that again! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾

Nigel Farage defends allowing US chlorinated chicken into UK as part of trade deal. Farage/Reform want US style insurance-based healthcare; lower food/environmental standards, worker/consumer rights; return to gold standard, benefit cuts. Who in their right mind wants this.

Starmer sensibly agrees to fuck over the working class for Trump www.normalisland.co.uk/p/starmer-se...

Let's be clear, if any other group suffered this level of violence on a regular basis it would be a national scandal, questions would be asked in the House, and the Times and Telegraph would fill their opinion columns.

Brexit continues to be a Malthusian extermination project. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

April 2025 IMF World Economic Outlook has a chapter on migration and refugee policy, including this chart mostly based on the OBR's analysis for the UK "Migrants and refugees have on average a more favorable net fiscal impact than that of natives." www.imf.org/-/media/File...

Remember Starmer and Reeves euphoria over Universal setting up a theme park in Bedfordshire? Universal Pictures to pocket £89 million of UK taxpayers’ money to partially cover its blockbuster costs. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ap...

Tory legacy. In England 48,830 A&E patients waited 24 hours or more for a hospital bed, 33,413 aged 65 or over. Some went 10 days to get bed in a ward. People deserve care and dignity. Must expand NHS capacity. Privatisation won't. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profit, money buys less.

RFK Jr. says he'll find out the cause of autism. I wanna know the cause of RFK Jr.

if I understand correctly, the campaigners wanted (in their words) to stop trans women officers with a gender recognition certificate searching women. and, in response, the police have decided to allow male officers to search trans women. not sustainable. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Donald Trump is copying everything Adolf Hitler did and unfortunately for MAGA it means they are on the menu very soon. In 1936 when Hitler had completed his SS secret police army he had 5000 of his thugs who had helped him to power executed. Because he didn't need them anymore

El Salvador refuses to let Senator Chris Van Hollen visit or speak with Kilmar Abrego Garcia @vanhollen.senate.gov Don't back down. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

BREAKING: Israel has explained it quickly acted to kill Fatima Hassouna, and ten members of her family, after receiving intelligence that she was guilty of photojournalism x

If you suggest a CEO should take an £8K pay cut, they will call you a communist. If you suggest a binman should *not* take an £8K pay cut, they will also call you a communist. Make it make sense 🤷‍♂️

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Hallelujah!❤️🙌 I hope they win! 🙏🙌🙏

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.
