I wonder, if every US politician was fined $1000 every time they lied, and all the fines went into a pot to be shared across all US citizens, how much would that generate?

Whoever is in charge of Reform’s PR must really hate them. Why else would they keep on letting Laila Cunningham anywhere near a media interview? She’s so bad at this. It’s objectively hilarious. 😂

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

The orange felon blames mail-in voting, immigrants and felons for destroying America, yet he marries immigrants, he votes by mail and he’s a convicted felon. Funny how that bullshit hypocrisy works.

This is a great article, worth 5 mins of your time for sure.

Who else is utterly sick of right wing media's lies? "Why did the Telegraph put "Food is too cheap" in quotation marks when Zack Polanski never used those words?" @monkemma.bsky.social debunks...it's a flipping full time job! Do help fund her if you can. westcountryvoices.co.uk/no-zack-pola...

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

The same administration that told you America was broke that we “have to gut the Forest Service”, slash public lands budgets, and fire federal workers to save money, just spent $29 billion on the Iran war. In only a few months.

The trumpet said “You know we’re in a war, because I think you would agree we cannot let lunatics have a nuclear weapon.” Oh, the irony…… #trump #iran

And here in the UK

Trump keeps posting that America was once the laughingstock of the world, but now that he is president, it's never been more respected. As an Aussie, I can 100% confirm that Donald Trump is a laughingstock here.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Listen to George people!

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵

So, what are we going to do about this?

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
