Present company excluded but I wish more people realized that good teachers are the product of *years* of training and education and professional development and mentorship and practice, not magicians who go into the classroom and just wing it on Charisma.
The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.
Reform UK, the right leaning think tank Policy Exchange, and some Labour grandees, are all pushing for us to either leave the ECHR, or disapply parts of it temporarily or permanently. This puts me, you and everyone at risk, not just those seeking sanctuary.
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
Makes USA more irrelevant again. China shipbuilding capacity is 200 times that of the USA. They will protect all these countries now friendly to China with the world's biggest navy.
Milwaukee in 1966 vs. 1967 Every time more Americans gain rights there’s always a violent backlash by fragile white guys who get triggered by it. We will defeat them this time, too, and our children will look back on those who resisted this white nationalist wave as heroes.
Possibly why we’ve been free of those sloppy, embarrassing meathead carnivals known as “rallies”
Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: “Man from Moscow” Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.
Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But let’s be clear: workers built this country—not billionaires. (1/2)
David Sedaris reflects on his sister’s death and what it meant for his family to go from six members to five.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
It was far worse in the 1950s.

Parliament reopened today, but Nigel Farage was in Washington DC on his 10th trip to the US since becoming an MP. You don't get to earn £1m from 12 jobs by wasting time on what is meant to be your full time role.
What a woman. Big respect.
BREAKING: Trump announces that Rudy Giuliani will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Note that Giuliani has been charged with felonies in two different states, including racketeering and has been found liable for over $100 million in damages.

Not just pay, it is better working conditions and benefits too.
Experts have decided it’s now acceptable to use the G-word
They never get nearer reality than the Hollywood mythical versions of US heritage. They can no longer take the truth about anything.

The bigger the shit, the more Trump loves them. Still not paying him his lawyer's bill though.
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
That is what most of America is - horrible.

Good morning 🌞🌞🌞☕☕☕ Celebrating 250 years of the great American workforce🇺🇸💪. Despite the current fascist regime dissing them, they are the heartbeat of 🇺🇸. Special shout-out & grateful thanks to Healthcare workers. We'll make it through this. #TogetherStrong
@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?
So, who's surprised? Phatphuk lied. He ALWAYS does. (Translated from the original Russian. Putin to Phatphuk: 🖕U.) 💀

Survival of a few is the end game. Trump OK with them if they say nice things.
Looks like someone won’t be terrorizing immigrant families for at least a few weeks. Karma works fast
"pundits" ???
There are many small non-profits that need amazon wishlists and meta accounts to survive. That's just a hard reality that a lot of casual private users don't seem to understand. They don't have the option to simply boycott and lose all of the donations that flow through those channels.
They immediately fall apart, totally lost, as Trump controls them completely.
It IS the guns- To suggest otherwise is a testimony of ignorance. Period.
Breaking news outranks real news.
Sitting in a warship armed to the teeth does not take any courage. Any idiot can start a war - it takes an intelligent and capable person to avoid a war.
it is very funny (or something) to never having a package stolen from your porch until a few days ago in the midst of our current militarized occupation
The sheep only go where they are led. I doubt if any have ever even spoken to a refugee.
No, less funds for sending missiles to Israel to bomb Gaza is all that is needed.
No evidence of that.
The company that makes Jack Daniels whiskey is moaning about the Canadian boycott resulting in a 62% sales drop. It should be 100%. Keep it up, Canada.
That is actually proving true in London, UK. Rising tide is floating all boats. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08...
Ashley Biden just posted this picture from this weekend with her father. Both look very happy.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏

All totally illegal.
Media wholly relying on a shrinking business advertising revenue. Trump tells businesses to boycott using media and they are sunk.
She does not actually KNOW anything. A complete stranger to reality.

We have hundreds of kites flying over our village in Oxfordshire, UK, each day.

He has done an excellent job in saving Labour and getting them a record majority in Government. 1939 and 2008 were dangerous moments in history, not 2025.
Trump's dictator moves like calling in the national guard or ballooning the ice budget are designed to enrage you, but also to desensitize you to his authoritarian behavior. As Rick Wilson says, we can't let that happen:
Who is he going to sue?

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
Government are on the way to clearing up the mess left by the last right-wing populist Government. No Reform run councils are going to law to get asylum hotels closed. Current Government have already closed half of asylum hotels. Only hotel owners have the right to choose who stays in their hotels
Gotta hand it to the artist.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
The signs of recession are in what the consumer has to spend, consumer confidence, and the prices of what is on offer to buy. The future, not past data. Learn some basic economics before making predictions.
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
They’re totally going to do this.
AGREED.
Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing: Costs are going up, and corruption is getting worse. Iowans are tired of the B.S. And next year, we're going to flip this seat, flip the Senate, and deliver a new generation of leadership.

Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
This is ICE tearing a man from his crying children as he leaves immigration court having just RENEWED his immigration documents. They're kidnapping law abiding people from court houses. Cruelty is the point. Terrorising is the point. ICE is the American Gestapo.

A new "Logical Reasoning" GCSE should become part of the mandatory national curriculum and be required for any job in the same way that Maths and English GCSEs are required.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: “We do not want to see tanks in our streets. We do not want to see families ripped apart. We don’t want to see homeless Chicagoans harassed or disappeared by federal agents. That’s not who we are as a city. And that’s not who we are as a nation.”
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
📌In the last month, Trump has posted a fake video to the world of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, pulled Kamala Harris's secret service detail, and doesn't want our museums focusing much on slavery. I mean, just in case you still don't understand his appeal to Republicans ...
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
