Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

🔥 Marco Rubio blasts immigrants while hiding his own family’s story: His grandfather, Pedro Victor García, was caught and ordered deported in 1962 after sneaking back into the U.S. No legal record until 1966. For four years, he likely lived here undocumented—until amnesty saved him. SHAME on YOU!

Thames Water is now controlled by two US credit powerhouses: Silver Point Capital and Elliott Management. Their game - asset stripping, profiteering, slick PR, devour; to get high returns. Govt can put an end by bringing water into public ownership, but refuses. People's misery to deepen.

Hearing this from quite a few people in Reform UK-controlled councils. From a local reader: "There are rumours as in other Reform UK controlled councils that a number of those elected stood to ‘make up numbers’ & never thought they would be elected & now don’t feel able to commit the time required"

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Rupert Lowe, the multi millionaire MP, who stood as a Reform candidate, says he hates paying tax. The whole reason for Reform’s existence. Honesty at last.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

#OTD in 1963, the Equal Pay Act became law, aiming to guarantee women equal pay for equal work. Yet, nearly 60 years later, a significant wage gap remains. The fight for true pay equity continues.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Many people on the UK's left promote wealth taxes. The trouble is that they would take years to deliver. Taxing income and gains from wealth more makes a lot more sense. youtu.be/vJRdnaJpWl8?...

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Trump lacks the authority to impose the tariffs. Not only should the tariffs be removed, but Trump should be impeached for breaking the law.

UK Govt AI copyright plan suffers fifth Lords defeat, 221 to 116 votes. Copyright enables many to earn a living. It is being ripped off by tech companies. All they need to do is to inform people, get a licence to use and pay. Govt says change might come in the future. I voted against the govt.

Tory legacy. Fire stations in England “falling apart”, Funding down by £1bn, call outs up by a fifth. Firefighter numbers down by a quarter in seven years, 11,000 full-time staff. Population increased but lack of investment in infrastructure, tax cuts for the rich. Readying for privatisation?
