How can ITV and Channel 4 get the Reform thing right, but BBC just whistle in the wind?

Bahahahaha

Dear Burnham Labour government, There are uniformed fascists on the streets of Dover. You have done and said f*** all so far. Not good enough. You'll lock up pro-Palestinian grannies and young climate activists - but you ignore fascist thugs. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Jimmy Carter lost because underhanded Ronald Reagan told Iran that if they held the American hostages until after the presidential election (to make Carter look bad) Reagan would secretly sell arms to Iran. Reagan then used the money from Iran to illegally fund the Contras, a Nicaraguan rebel group.

The ‘British values’ brigade in action.

I for one have had enough of people who can barely speak English, living on benefits, ignoring our laws and wearing weird clothes that cover up their faces. So it was disappointing to see a few hundred of them gathered in Dover today.

@bsky.app is like the quiet sibling who keeps their outrageous musings to themselves until and unless it really matters. And right now, with Threads being inundated with right wing would be/wannabe trolls and bigots, it seems like a 'safe space' for a bit of gentle relief. And breathe! 🥰

Jimmy Carter had to gave up his peanut farm to avoid any conflicts of interest while president. The Obamas were forbidden to refinance their home while he was in office. Donald Trump has made over 21,000 stock trades while in office, often using his office to manipulate markets.

There’s a lot to unpack with the Iran negotiations, but here are the big takeaways: Kushner is there to work out the best deal for his own business interests, not the best deal for the U.S. “He is a fundamentally corrupted actor in these negotiations.” - Chris Murphy 1/2

Madre de Dios! Not a single Real Madrid player in Spain's World Cup squad, for the first time in history.

NEW: Trump pardoned nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz just 3 months into his sentence for a $39 million fraud scheme. Meanwhile, families who won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against Schwartz haven’t collected a cent.

OTD 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. He immediately pardoned 8,000 violent Nazis, many of whom were involved in the failed 1923 coup.

Jared Kushner pledged to bring peace to the Middle East when all he really wanted was to bring a piece of the Middle East to Jared Kushner. #OpportunisticNepoBabyConMen

Six days on, a New York Times investigation concludes that the US bombed the school. 175 are dead, 150+ of whom are schoolgirls aged 7-12. The My Lai massacre for our generation. The Hague - and Hell - awaits.

US-Israeli-led bombing hit a girls school… Death toll now at 150 A war launched illegally by two depraved men desperate to cling to power and stay out of jail …and they call others terrorists.

A federal panel made up entirely of Trump appointees just greenlit his massive ballroom, reportedly larger than the White House itself. The panel received 2,000 public comments on the East Wing renovation. 99% were negative. They approved it anyway. Unanimously.

Justin Floyd Qualls, a 40 year old Trump supporter whose Facebook included anti trans posts and accusations about President Biden, has now been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for the aggravated sexual abuse of a child under 12.

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social discusses how Thiel, Musk et al have taken over the UK govt data--and our US personal data too. Recall how Doge took over the IRS? Palantir has all our data now, along with US military and ICE and other govt. surveillance contracts. WTAF?!

Racism baby. America at its finest.

Trump is spending over a billion dollars to tear down, build and/or remodel the WH, a ballroom, a triumphal arch, the Kennedy Center, and several DC golf courses, while spending most of his non-golfing time on interior decorating. MAGA: This is what I voted for! He loves us!

"Among the hires at CBS News announced by Weiss is a doctor who claims he reduced his biological age by 20 years with cold plunges; that cod liver oil treats autism; and that Alzheimer’s and dementia can be reversed with supplements he sells on his online store." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

America baby. Land of the free. Bollocks. Home of the brave. Bollocks. And all because you didn't want a woman in charge. Despite the fact they were BOTH way way better qualified.

The Israeli military has acknowledged in a briefing to Israeli journalists that approximately 70,000 Palestinians were killed during the war in Gaza and that the figures from the health ministry in the enclave are largely accurate, local media reports. https://cnn.it/45CQHxH

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Any Democrat who votes to continue to fund the Republicans Gestapo is a hypocritical pos.

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

So. Trump Derangement Syndrome, huh?

🚨Reports incoming that federal agents have shot and killed another person near Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. Multiple shots fired. “It was an execution,” witness tells us.

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

If you think this is cool, you're a fuxking idiot.

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

When the numbers don’t match the outrage, it’s not about immigration. It’s about racism and hate. Period. Project 2025 is the blueprint. #Voices4Victory #SheShed

I thought their opposition (i.e. the likes of you and me) were the ones who were not patriotic? Anyone aligning with TFOG loses any and every right to ever call themselves a patriot ever again.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.
