His followers are like, “Surely there must be some mistake, he said only THEIR lives would be ruined. I’d better message the president and let him know.” We’re in the denial and bargaining stage folks.

24 February 1937 | A French Jewish boy, Serge Fridkowski, was born in Paris. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 21 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among the 817 people who were murdered in gas chambers after selection.

Bro-vote On point segment but what they missed here is that Trump didn’t just win by making some young men feel heard—he won by making them angry. He convinced them that women, Black people, and others were stealing what was rightfully theirs. Take 3 minutes for this one… 🧵

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

Dear Christian-right, did you skip this part in the Bible?

Another Banksy style classic.

"Censorship of science is never about protecting the public. It is about controlling them. When governments dictate what research can & cannot be published, they are not defending the truth. They are erasing it." Powerful words from @martinmckee.bsky.social et al 👏 academic.oup.com/eurpub/advan...

Sorry if my terminology was imprecise whrn discussing a movement to destroy me, my family, my friends, and society itself. It’s not easy to describe this level of threat in terms you will find appropriate and polite.

Anyone who doesn't reply "your mum" to all five things on that email should be sacked at once.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory There was another regime that tracked and persecuted LGBTQ+ people.

Great job, 🤡 administration. You’ve managed to turn (already) worldwide hero, Zelenskyy, into a worldwide martyr. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Mood.

PICTURE BOX (1966-1993), ITV's legendary Schools show, had one of the creepiest theme tunes ever. Off-kilter and queasy, it ensured that kids were thoroughly unnerved by the time presenter Alan Rothwell appeared.

❗️We continue negotiations with partners, there will be more support from allies, - Zelensky. "Security guarantees are what unites the absolute majority.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory “ With all due respect to President Donald Trump as a leader… he is living in this disinformation space.” - Pres. Zelensky #WeStandWithUkraine

Tell them it's not working out, block and ghost. You don't owe them an explanation.

Happy #SocialistSunday comrades

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Steve Bannon says “it’s the Jews that hate Israel.” Blames progressives and George Soros, but no one’s gonna arrest him for being antisemitic. In every chud scenario it’s always the powerless left that is the “problem.” It’s never right wing nationalism or zionism. www.instagram.com/reel/DGYpDm4...

Busy week

Ukraine war live: Russia launches largest drone attack on eve of third anniversary of invasion. Drones intercepted in at least 13 regions including Kharkiv, Poltava, Sumy, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv and Odesa, according to Ukrainian authorities. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Rubbish at lady-stuff. Was telling ‘em about my skirt last night. Hate thinking about clothes so buy 5 of the same.Bloody hard to walk in. 3 shows I cld barely move. Shit I’ll have to shop again I thought. Daughter turns up & points out the vent stitch. How was I s’posed to know?

“I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Stephen Fry

HAHAHAHAHA. Just pray. Sure that’ll manifest a visa. Oh, How silly of me! We all know that praying only *stops* things. Such as justice for historical rape victims, women having the right to bodily autonomy and kids being safe in churches, it doesn’t *create* them.

Domestic violence victims must be included in the assisted dying debate, campaigners say

Ukraine has shown all of us around the world, what passion and patriotism looks like. For the past 3 years, they have stood tall and strong in the fight for democracy, sovereignty, freedom and humanity. Ukraine is all of us.

In honour of #EastEnders 40th anniversary, here’s its first gay kiss, which sparked tabloid outrage at the time. Brace yourself, it’s a bit racy!

“The law says that Musk/Doge can’t do the thing that they already did” is not actually a comfort

The Russian ruble has lost over half of its value in a decade and inflation is rampant - with electricity up 250 per cent and interest rates at 21 per cent. As its citizens become increasingly impoverished, the key to peace will be Putin’s finances www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Himmelskibet (A Trip to Mars), considered to be the first feature-length space film, was released 107 years ago today. "Inspired by Napoleon, the navy officer Avanti Planetaros endeavours to chart the cosmos and explore its strange planets."

Sorry for making you look at him but yet again, as with Peterson, Musk, Montgomerie and so many others, the turn to the hard/far right begins with obsessive transphobia. It might be the primary driver of rightwing radicalisation over the last decade. They always bring it up.

Thinking of joining an Anger Management group. They're all the rage.

I covered this three years ago! www.amazon.co.uk/Diary-Secret...

Just in case no one knows the UK doesn't have a record number of people on benefits, in fact we have higher employment than France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Finland and many more. It's all just a lie for the billionaires to blame poor people for their mess.

Worth remembering that our last but one PM is happy to share a platform with this man. Of course Liz Truss is a lunatic and drifting into the far right margins all the time. But there's still a serious process of normalisation underway here and it afflicts *all* the main parties in the UK.
