A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

It’s the look of most of us right now

Stop trying to be liked by everybody You don’t even like everybody

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Winston Churchill is credited with saying that America does the right thing after exhausting the alternatives. Donald Trump has turned that aphorism on its head. In the past 10 days, he has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. www.ft.com/content/1511...

They now call it "Project 2025"! 👇

“While Dimon’s remarks have attracted attention, many of the issues he highlights are far from novel. For example, the idea that senior bankers are unreachable on Fridays is hardly a revelation.

Fearless and independent investigative journalism is needed more than ever in these times. Attempts to suppress this story on Trump and the KGB demonstrate this ⬇️ To help fund the stories you won't read in the established press, and to keep honesty alive, subscribe: subscribe.bylinetimes.com

“Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over democracies of free Europe.He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny” www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

Canada is preparing for a bird flu pandemic with 500,000 vaccine doses true leadership. Meanwhile, the U.S. is hiding critical data. Don’t worry I’m getting the truth from CDC sources. Follow for urgent updates on this ongoing bird flu threat.

The Trump administration has begun dismantling the nation’s defenses against foreign interference in voting, a sweeping retreat that has alarmed state and local election officials. via @stateline.org www.newsfromthestates.com/article/elec...

PRO TIP: When you appear in a CCTV video doing An Alleged Bad Thing, do not pop up on the shop’s Facebook threatening to take them to court for [waves hands about] I dunno.

One of the most terrifying, brilliantly written, balanced and relevant books I have ever read. I’ve always thought Rees was an exceptional historian, this reaffirms that view.

Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.

Oh fuck off.

How lovely

Absolutely barbaric and rage inducing.

I’ve been waiting for the release of Claire St. Amant’s Killer Story: The Truth Behind True Crime Television. And I had to read it as soon as I got it. It’s so so good. I could not put it down!!

MGBGA! Jesus Liz MEGA was right there because we all know you don’t give a flying fuck about Wales, Scotland and NI

What possible motive.....? Oh!

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Government's failure to take control of Thames Water means almost £1billion of customers' money will be squandered - How is this good for anyone but financial parasites and predators? www.windrushwasp.org/single-post/...

Facts

"the foreign policy of the most powerful country on Earth has been rapidly reorganised around the fragile ego of a sullen and resentful old man". Zelensky has known for years that the orange is just a "nasty" man.

“Quiet night, Jimmy?” “Yeah. You want that topped off?” “Not just yet, thanks.” “Mind if I put on the TV?” “Anything but the fucking news.”

The US-Russia axis - of authoritarianism?

👇 THIS!!! FFS

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.
