My darling friend Shaz passed away unexpectedly this morning - god damn it. I will miss her

Donald Trump took the United States to war today, killing Iranian school children and risking the lives of people in America's military. He is currently yucking it up at a fundraiser. He's a shallow, glib person without any regard for the serious consequences of his lies, scams, and incompetence.

If we don't tax the hyper-rich out of existence, pedophile psychopaths will keep using our species' collective wealth to bomb, police, surveil, propagandise and cook us into submission, maybe even extinction

FIFA Peace Prize winner becomes first US President to bomb eight countries in one year

The PM calling Grace Tame, a woman fighting for the safety of children, “difficult” is completely unwarranted.  Labelling women as difficult won’t silence us. It won’t stop us speaking truth to power.  Next time try “unbreakable” or “warrior” or “fierce”, Prime Minister.

Topol: The same thing occurs with all these wellness influencers—the latest being Peter Attia. There are hundreds and hundreds of these so-called longevity hackers. One cardinal rule I have is this: if somebody is selling something, they have no credibility. Zero.

Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature? FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: “🇺🇸 had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.” (Unless the point is to hurt us and end NATO, a Putin/Xi goal)

Six reasons why Trump’s attack on Venezuela was very wrong:

Mr Abetz (about reducing the size of the public service by about 2,800 people) “Sometimes when you 'right-size' there will be discomfort occasioned to people, which will not necessarily provide accolades for the government. But nevertheless, it's what we'll be doing” He is such a pig.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

#IBelieveTheSurvivors The world doesn’t listen to women…if we did, Clarence Thomas & Brett Kavanaugh would not be Supreme Court justices. I believed professor Anita Hill. I believed Professor Christine Blasey Ford.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

The world needs more David and Kirshas. Very grateful that these two do all that they do with such passion, generosity and deep intelligence.

There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is I mean if you showed this to any American in 2001 they wouldn't even understand what they were looking at or what sort of deranged creature could possibly speak like this in public

Have you got a video where Emma Thompson looks really hot and records words from an article you wrote? No? I do 🥰

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Pregnant Women, DON’T TAKE PARENTING ADVICE FROM A CONVICTED FELON WHO OWNED A TEENAGE BEAUTY PAGEANT AND HAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH THE MOST NOTORIOUS CHILD RAPIST IN MODERN HISTORY.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
