No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

This Black History Month, more than ever before, serves as a recognition, a celebration, and a call to action. This month serves as a reminder of the ongoing journey toward equity and justice that demands our active engagement. While some would halt the progress, we unequivocally reject that effort,

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things: 1. They know it is a terrible idea. 2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

Hope it’s a negotiating tactic. Fear it’s just bloody stupid.

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

I would desperately love to boycott these brands in a fit of centrist dad pique. However they are all a bit low rent. However, the reason I support @stopfundinghate.bsky.social is to keep the big brands (and their money) off there👊

We're seeing a toxic surge of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric on GB News. This is what advertisers such as Sky are enabling. If Ofcom continues failing to enforce its own rules, then MPs need to step in and hold it to account. bylinetimes.com/2025/01/31/g...

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

Don't fall for shock and awe. Their goal is to paralyze us. Organize and mobilize within your local communities, support, and be there for each other. Do not let the shock and awe expand your window of tolerance, do not become desensitized to what's happening. Care for yourselves and others. 💙

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…

Great to see so many Farage supporters defending his perverted nephew who was arrested for upskirting a woman by downplaying the crime. Almost as if their outrage isn’t really about “protecting women” and is more about weaponising sexual violence to promote racism, isn’t it?

Donald Trump returning to the White House will be deeply worrying for millions of people in the UK and around the world. With a President who promises trade wars, undermines NATO and praises Vladimir Putin, the threats to our national security and our economy are clear.

Is no secret that Farage wants to sell the NHS to America. He only has his own interests at heart and will create only more damage to the UK if given the opportunity.

The UK should negotiate a new customs union deal with the European Union, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has said. He argues it is needed to boost Britain's economy and its ability to deal with the incoming Donald Trump presidency from a position of strength👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Authoritarianism is bad enough. It's even worse when the authoritarian is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, a racist, a serial liar, a convicted scam artist, a mentally-disturbed grudge holder, and a greedy imbecile with the mentality, vocabulary, and comprehension skills of a fourth-grader.

Referring to LGBT+ people as "mentally ill" or "abnormal" is not "a discussion." It's not "an opinion." It's not "free speech." It's not "debate." It's hatemongering, with the clear and obvious intent to mark a minority out for subjugation, torture and violence.

I see Nigel Farage is making vast sums flogging a dubious tax avoidance scheme. Those who actually love their country pay their taxes. They understand that without taxes we don't have schools and hospitals and the police. They certainly don't use their status as an MP to encourage tax avoidance.

Keir Starmer, "I'm very concerned about where the Tory party are going on this" "Because if you're not prepared to stand up as a Tory MP and denounce what's been said about Jess Philips, who has now had threats made to her" "Then you seriously need to consider why you're in politics"

Simply this. America is descending fast - and we need to ensure it does not pull down the rest of the world with it. Particularly in Europe, we need to regroup and operate without the US.

And so it begins… You can’t appease these people. They only respond to decisive limits. Don’t implement them and they’ll take the piss. We are already in a democratic recession. Labour’s inaction won’t just screw them, it’ll screw us all. Our elections will be bought.
