Just saw absolutely everyone fall for this on Facebook. (It's satire, hopefully obviously.) www.borowitzreport.com/p/musk-decla...

Some fathers would cope with a transgender child.

This is a how a movement builds. At previous locations, this rally (Fighting Oligarchy) exceeded projected turnout by 1,000, then at the next location by 3,000, the next by 6,000. Now: 20,000.

Even naturalised citizens can be arrested and deported in this government so ... actually BOTH of you should probably look out.

Absolute state of this

@ollymann.bsky.social SPONSORED SILENCE - This a thing for u?! I am 41 and did a couple of sponsored silences (fundraising vows of silence). I don't know how-as a 8-10 yr old-I could've actually taken part in classes or home life but, as a talkative child, I think I now c who the beneficiaries were.

If we used to love the 'job creators' what are we supposed to think about the 'job destroyers'?

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

U.K. tourist Becky Burke finally returned home to Wales on Tuesday after spending 19 days in a U.S. ICE detention facility. Her parents relayed their daughter’s description of her release from ICE, saying how she was taken in “leg chains, waist chains and handcuffs,” which left her “traumatized.”

Under apartheid I’m sure everyone was the best of friends with their black servants.

"Tesla announced a recall of 46,000 Cybertrucks in the US on Thursday to fix an exterior panel that could detach while driving." - Guardian

The future is a pale imitation.

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids. The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids. "Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel. Sigh.

SECRET POLICE. SUSPENDS HABEAS CORPUS. ENDS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. ALLOWS JAILING SYMPATHIZERS. JAILS THOSE WHO TALK OUT AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATION. **AT THE PRESIDENT'S DISCRETION** No video yet, but this write up is incredibly important to read. Aliens and Enemies Acts, 1798 #ohfuck

I mean.

Regulators will face twice-yearly performance reviews from ministers as the Chancellor warned that too many reviews are holding back the economy Wait a minute... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Please Guardian, not you too! I guess it _is_ less of a war when it's closer to extermination...

Brexit is doing what we warned it would The poorest households in Slovenia and Malta are now better off than poorest in the UK 🇬🇧 Real incomes in majority of European regions have grown at a faster rate than those in the UK. France, Germany, Belgium and Netherlands have higher average incomes.

“Topics such as the Civil War”???

The only way to fix this is to make the entire plane out of woke

If tariffs are a tax cut, why did Trump just call off the 50% metals tariffs on Canada? Why did he get rid of my tax cut?

"A Labour government is choosing – and it is a choice – to take money from disabled benefit claimants rather than tax high earners. You might ask, is that the moral thing to do?” Spot on, @francesryan.bsky.social

Starmer could request her release. She'd likely be on UK media and it would probably be a massive positive for Labour. But perhaps he doesn't want to remind people what America looks like under Trump - his friend.

& then the Canadians turned the heat.... UP

Trump is Enabling Netayoohoo's Scorched Earth Genocide in Gaza. The Arab World needs to GET INVOLVED. apnews.com/article/gaza...

Well played.

Republicans are the REAL snowflakes!

For almost 17 months, Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza. This week, during Ramadan, it is again blocking aid - an act of collective punishment. The UK must do more. We must apply international law equally to all states, allies or not. Because all human lives are equal.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!
