#WorldPressFreedomDay 🔥 @froomkin.bsky.social

There was no brilliant past that Reform wants to return us to. There was the height of the British Empire from 1750-1920 when we held 1/3rd of the world in slavery and killed 400 million people. But even then 99% of Brits lived in squalor without clean water or electricity.

Casualties in World War II: Soviet Union: 26,600,000. United States: 407,316. And the Russians got to Berlin first. So, no, the United States did not do "more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result 'on' World War II." That is just propaganda.

Passing this on as I am in 1,000,000,000-%!

All the new Reform UK councillors may lack experience, but they can always rely on their strongly held convictions. Especially the ones for fraud, sexual assault and tax evasion.

Well done #Scarborough, you voted in Gaye Hird as a councillor for Falsgrave & Stepney Ward. She loves spreading conspiracy theories about sky spraying and Muslims. A Reform UK councillor. Let that sink in.

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

After by-election and local election losses PM Keir Starmer says he will go “further and faster on the change”. NO. Must change policies. People concerned about poverty, winter fuel payment cut, high water/energy bills, profiteering, disability cuts, poor infrastructure. Must end Tory policies.

Imagine if the BBC gave equal TV and radio time to Carla Denyer and the Green Party as they do Farage. What a different picture it would be. The #BBC are as instrumental installing Reform UK Ltd. Just as much as Starmer is.

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

18 year old George on #C4News, "Hearing the discussions today I don't think the UK is strong enough by itself to talk tough against President Trump" "Personally I think we'd be much stronger with a Customs Union, a Single Market, even the entire EU"

Reform UK is a party stuffed with Conservatives and Donald Trump supporters who pretend to be a party for the 'working man'. But it's led and funded by millionaires/billionaires who have never been a 'working man' in their lives. It's the most blatant political fraud ever.

An entire article reporting Blair’s views on fossil fuels which neglects to report that one of his main sources of revenue is the government of Saudi Arabia. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

And burned 130+alive

It hasn’t been mentioned much that the legendary Executive Producer of 60 Minutes named Bill Owens was forced to resign because he refused to bow to the orange felon seeing as its parent company Paramount needs the orange felon to approve a merger. Fascism 101.

Keir Starmer is trying to influence the return of the Open golf championship to Trump-owned Turnberry - sycophantic appeasement of a bully and I am so embarrassed by this government

The truth about the continual mass release of an alien invasive species – pheasants – into the wild in Ireland + Britain, where they live by exterminating native fauna. It's legalised ecocide (ecosystem murder).

Please 🙏 go out & vote tomorrow I know some of my friends think that their votes do not count but in this time of chaos Canadians need to think long & hard what kind of Prime Minister they want in 2025. We have an opportunity to show up as leaders in the world so be mindful when voting on Monday.🇨🇦

This belongs in the realm of 'seriously' creepy and disturbed.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not. Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

Local politics actually does matter. Kemi Badenoch says Lib Dems are people who fix church roofs. Yes: that’s why we’re popular and she isn‘t | Ed Davey www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

This is how you accurately write a headline. Rolling Stone gets it.

Tel Aviv…

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Can't cook, dress, eat, or toilet unaided? Soon, that won’t qualify you for help. 1.3 million disabled people face losing support. Read that again. #PIP 👇😞

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.
