Have you noticed the press is not calling this the Trump-Vance administration? Don’t let Vance escape your attention, even though he isn’t making headlines—he’s still dangerous.

Kathleen Sebelius says Kansas is being devasted by trump's cuts. They voted 59% for trump.

That's my week on the Iron Road done 🫡 Was meant to just be 5 days but did a favour and covered a duty on the Thursday, well worth it for a chippy in Nottingham! Now for Sunday off, then 4 days followed by my long weekend 😁

Samsung's Black and White filter is the best thing about their cameras. Took a trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway and their engine 'Goliath' Sat in the Pullman Observation Car on the journey back too, a bargain at £3 each. #photography #blackandwhite

The Trump regime is trying to pressure Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine and force him into exile in France, this is part of an ongoing US / Russia ploy to force a surrender and plunder the country's resources. #StandWithUkraine

Join me as I ride The Floridian, @amtrak.com 's epic new 47-hour route. Here are the Siemens Charger locomotives during our "stretch-and-smoke" stop in Jacksonville. I followed in the high-heel footsteps of Tony Curtis + Jack Lemmon in Some Like It Hot as they fled #Chicago for #Miami... 🚂🧵

Congratulations @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and so well deserved. You’ve delivered masterclass after masterclass in how to hold politicians and those in power to account. You are one of the finest journalists we have in this country 👏

A democratically-run political party. Wow, what a radical idea. Nigel Farage claims to have handed Reform UK over to its members, however the leader still has huge amount of control and cannot be easily removed. The Green Party is run democratically by our members. Join today ⤵️

It’s pathetic MAGA thinks hurting kids is a flex. Vile.

Veterans for trump, where are thou?

This is Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine. He is Jewish. His grandfather fought Nazis in WW2. Many of his relatives were killed in the Holocaust. He is standing up to a dictator. Because he is brave. Because he knows what happens if you don't.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

“Among the multitude of depravities & war crimes committed by Putin’s army has been the abduction of some 20,000 Ukrainian children…Why hasn’t the US put their release at the top of the list of its negotiating demands?” nypost.com/2025/02/20/o...

As any five year old could have told him.

Dear TSLA Board of Directors: It's time to REMOVE transnational organized crime leader Musk. Time to sell your TSLA stock before it crashes!

He nails it.

Lesia Vasylenko, "A fair and just peace is the end of Russian aggression" "Pulling out all Russian troops and going back to Ukraine's 1991 borders" Fiona Bruce, "Do you think that's realistic?" Lesia Vasylenko, "It has to be realistic"

Who me? No I’m not following you… 😂 #cats

And it's going to get much worse!

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

Fucken LOVE the way Maine Governor Janet Mills stood up to that little bitch. More of that please

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

@fedsworkforyou.bsky.social The Musk-Rats at DOGE are celebrating after letting a billionaire break into the U.S. Treasury and illegally fire thousands of dedicated public servants. Please joint the Noise Demo today (2-22-2025) at 8 pm in DC.

Delusional old man. His approval rating is tanking.

Trump’s jealousy of Zelensky is so obvious. No one will EVER say Trump is a hero or compare him to Churchill.
