Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such

submitted 2 hours ago • 62 comments

They brought Zelenskyy, a man that’s led Ukraine through invasion with unparalleled honour, to the White House to humiliate and mug him in a despicable premeditated display. Zelenskyy should’ve spat in their fucking faces and walked out. Trump is a Putin shill c**t.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

We know that appeasement is a high risk game. As well as being morally feeble. Doing what’s right and standing up to the barrelling menace of the Trump/Musk presidency is the far better, wiser and ultimately, safer thing to do. (Letter in The Times)

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

If you want to beat Reform , it won’t be by upping your anti immigration rhetoric but by energetically and passionately trying to improve people’s lives - in being so terrified of anything too progressive (or that was in Corbyn’s manifesto) I don’t think they know what they are or why they are

Donald Trump's plans for Gaza are nothing short of ethnic cleansing and the UK must stand up to this flagrant violation of international law. I have written to the Foreign Secretary, along with Parliamentary colleagues, for assurance that the Government will stand against this.

Sorry but wtf is this language of a US "takeover" of Gaza. I've never heard "Takeover" used to mean invasion, colonisation, occupation imperialism or otherwise. It's euphemism normalised in the service of genocide. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Old person here, so fed up with IT that makes life harder. I don’t get what the bank app is telling me to do, so I go into the branch. They have to ask the manager. I get a confusing text from the doctors. None of the reception staff understand it either. Where’s this ‘Jetsons’ life I was promised?

This FBI lawsuit says something remarkable: That the Trump administration is trying to identify FBI agents, not just to fire them, but also to potentially create what amounts to a hit list for Jan 6 insurrectionists he pardoned. www.notus.org/courts/fbi-a...

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

🚨 Official websites of the U.S. government are sporting the American flag with nine stars. This is a post Civil War Flag. The nine stars symbolize the first nine states to secede from the Union at the beginning of the Civil War. I don’t know how to say it more plainly, a coup is underway.

So how much was the felons tariff BS about distraction so Space-case could raid the Treasury Department in broad daylight?! Is there anyone who’s going to stop this unelected South African oligarch from pillaging America and destroying western democracy? Just asking for the civilized world.

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

Can Democratic members of Congress break into federal office buildings and use flag poles to beat the crap out of those 19yo Musk tech-bros re-writing the federal code…then call it an administrative “tour”? Because they’d “patriots” and, if detained, “prisoners.” Isn’t that the new standard?

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Barclays Bank tells customers to contact food banks as IT glitch disruption enters third day. It made £6.6bn pre-tax profit last year but can't produce a robust IT system. I bet no one told directors to go to food banks. news.sky.com/story/barcla...

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

This is very interesting as an alternative response to the tariffs. Instead of retaliatory tariffs, target the oligarchs with taxes.

This is amazing re: 20mph impact in Wales - collisions on Welsh roads at their lowest level for that quarter since records began, and 100 fewer people killed on 20mph and 30mph roads. That's 100 people alive today who potentially wouldn't otherwise be here...
