“The Chancellor sparked anger when she revealed that govt wants to enable young people from Europe and UK to work and travel overseas” FFS. What ‘Brexit freedom’ exactly is being betrayed here? The freedom to NOT be free to work and travel overseas? One of the stupidest front pages I’ve ever seen.

Dear media, We're going to need you to stop being polite with trump, stop using kind words to describe his bullshittery, his grifting, and his absolute CHAOS. When he lies, call it LYING. When he grifts, call it grift. When he acts like a fucking fascist, call it that.

They neglected to mention that The Bible Belt is also the pornography belt and the welfare belt. I live at the left side of that t Yikes!

Sad when our country is concerned more about 2nd Amendment rights than the rights of our children to feel safe in our schools, playgrounds, churches and homes.

Some personal news: meet my new replacement at the all new Observer newspaper. Yes, it’s Facebook’s very own Nick Clegg. Congrats to everyone involved in this absolutely stellar signing. Take a bow. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Stigma, sanctions, and systems designed to exclude. The UK’s benefits regime isn’t just cruel – it may be breaching international law. Read what this week’s Amnesty report says ⤵️ | Koldo Casla @eastangliabylines.co.uk @koldocasla.bsky.social

Another reminder, just because a dude is out there spouting progressive ideals, it doesn't mean he wants it for women too.

They see women as second class citizens. They are trying to roll back rights for women to be able to get credit without having a man sign for them.

He mocked a disabled reporter way back when. It wasn’t bad enough. Then the 34 felony convictions, and the Rape. It wasn’t bad enough. Now he’s disappearing people and sending hundreds to torture chambers. Still not bad enough it seems.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

I agree with every word of this powerful bipartisan brief against taxation by proclamation — here, by the unconstitutional imposition of tariffs by President Trump without clear authorization by Congress: search.app/XXmqoDZ84LM7...

This is what we all feared. The United States and Russia bullying brave President Zelensky into a terrible deal. Time for the United Kingdom and Europe to stand up to Trump and seize the Russian assets so we can go it alone.

GREAT NEWS: Six men who prosecutors said took part in forcibly removing Teresa Borrenpohl from a town-hall meeting hosted by Republicans in Idaho in February are facing charges including battery and false imprisonment. Read more here: nyti.ms/4jl7F8x #ResistTrump

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.

We are nearing the end.

Jimmy Carter put his family peanut farm in a blind trust for the duration of his Presidency to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

JUDGE BOASBERG: “.. The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders. .. To permit such officials to freely ‘annul the judgments of the courts ..’ would make ‘a solemn mockery’ of ‘the constitution itself.’” 🇺🇸 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It should go without saying but... if you don’t understand it, don’t legislate about it.

"As a woman myself" 💯 is giving Dean Browning.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

Bernie Sanders is on the most ambitious political organizing tour in recent US history. His scheduled events w/AOC have drawn hundreds of thousands, and renewed hope in communities across the country. Now, Sanders is going off schedule to reach young voters who have the power to remake US politics!

“Birchall was involved in acquiring the property for a compound in Austin where Musk imagined the women and his growing number of babies would all live among multiple residences, according to a person familiar with the matter.”

If you don't think we're headed here, you aren't paying attention.

By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens. Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak. We are on a path towards dictatorship.

Attempting to spin an unnecessary trip into space as a feminism is just insulting. What about the genuinely talented women working at NASA who didn't get to go in order to make room for celebrities? What about the massive environmental impact of the flight? Don't patronise us with this crap.

I gotta say, “women are going to space” sounds a lot nicer than “the ultra rich are taking hyper-polluting joyrides to space while the planet descends into climate chaos”
