Tonight Florida surgeon General at a rally celebrating how they were dropping school vaccine mandates. The crowd cheering & whooping with glee at their right to endanger their kids to disease they could be safe from. DO NOT VACATION IN FLORIDA. It will be a hotbed of communicable disease.

The differences in moral clarity and authority between the Epstein victims and everyone whoring for the Oval Office occupant is clarifying. Choosing your side defines your value as a parent, a citizen a Christian (if you swing that way) and a human being. It unfolded in real time today.
We'll hve to see how the review of Rayner's legal advice shakes out. But let's not forget or conflate Nadhim Zahawi. He knew he was being investigated by HMRC but didn't declare tht whn appnted Chancellor. He tried to gag news outlets &tax experts wth SLAP orders. He owed £MILLS! Then cried unfair
Beautiful. Shame most Americans look at the beauty of wildlife and see it purely as an opportunity to satiate their lust for killing with guns. Pricing in the collateral damage of young school kids in their pursuit of fun.
Thanks Jeff. I've just had it with this daily diet of racist rhetoric being fed to the poorly informed.
I really don't get it. Surely the only line should be : Vote Farage if you want the same & continuing catastrophic damage to our country, making us all poorer and less relevant in the world as when Farage persuaded you to vote brexit.
Trump was "little" in 1950.
All media seem to have ignored the fact that Trump in a press conference today admitted that things he doesn't like he can "blame on AI" (ie bags of stuff being thrown out of WH windows). In another dementia moment he said "When I was little I used to say what's that? And pple wld say that's AI".
when you’re upset at the cool kids for not inviting you to their lunch table
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Pritzker on Trump's plan for Chicago: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
raping, murdering. And no one will be on the streets protesting about the epidemic of homegrown misogynistic, violent men being influenced by online & msm. So no asylum hotels - are your girls safe now? Only a fascist would think so & convince others of that too.
migrant Hotel at the end of your street?" I know of only 1 asylum seeker in a hotel being charged with an offence towards a girl. If you empty hotels there still will be white British men abusing young school girls on streets, flashing,beating up girlfriends, coercively controlling wives, 2/3
Keir Starmer's interview with BBC Matt Chorley was a stark example of how racist fascist narratives have been normalised in once respected media.Which in turn pushes politicians who know better to play along. Chorley repeated "how would you feel about the safety of your daughter wth a migrant 1/3
What is happening right now in Beijing is chilling & alarming. A collective power like never before against Western democracies. This is Trump's work. He is not only educationally limited, illiterate, but he is also geo politically illiterate. This will have long term catastrophic consequences.
They are. Railways.
Overt racism on our streets, flags as threats, Reform strutting around like they’re in power already, toxic radicalisation by Musk on X, politicians howling to leave the ECHR and to hell with the consequences… How can the govt just meekly nod along? FFS and for all our sakes, stand up to this shit.
India, China, N.Korea, Putin, all cosied up like never before - once distinctly unfriendly before Trump created mayhem & pushed them into each others arms. All bc manbaby Trump was annoyed Modi wldn't give Trump fake credit for "stopping the war". And we all suffer the consequences bc his hurty ego.
And that aggressive, racist woman is with young children.
Republicans all over the Sunday politics TV studios blaming transgenderism for the unique USA problem of mass shootings. (Nearly all white men) This is peak MAGA America 2025. Whatever you do don't blame guns. Because òf course nowhere else in the world have trans or mental health issues.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
See the link? What Trump does the Tories and Reform are quick to emulate.
So Rayner divorced,husband keeps the house,she buys a flat - the ONLY property she owns -so pays appropriate duty for primary ownership. Trump in US has created a new job.Head of Housing financial fraud by officials.AG James who prosecuted Trump,Schiff who impeached him &Fed Gov so far investigated
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Love thy neighbor.
Their freedom of religion allows them to believe what they want, including twisting customary understandings of Christianity into something unrecognizable. My freedom of (and from) religion allows me to call out behavior no benevolent deity would ever endorse...and oppose intellectual monkey shit.
Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳
Like a deadly virus, created in the lab of bad public policy at the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has been let loose on our nation with impacts we are all just beginning to comprehend. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
My grandfather, who was an imam, used to say, “if you don’t water a plant, you can pray all you want, it’s not going to grow.” Meaning, God wants action, not just words.
Wake up America you're already there. We are watching in Europe amazed you haven't worked it out yet.
The Times says Reform “has no track record to weigh it down”… Other than: Islamophobia, racism, inept councillors, MP absenteeism, admiration for Putin, love of Trump, brazen grifting, idiotic manifesto, dodgy donations and Brexit… the single stupidest thing the country has done in our lifetimes.
Perhaps rather than endlessly promoting Mr Farage, the national media could highlight what his local councillors are doing - as demonstrated here by @northantstelegraph.bsky.social www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/...
Americans have priced in a death count of young kids to allow them their fun with guns (just so they can get a thrill from killing innocent little rabbits - so tough & brave). And they've collectively concluded that price is worth paying. How sick.

Imagine the scene at Witkoff's home when he returns home from work "What did you do at work today, daddy? Witkoff hurriedly changes subject.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
ha ha ha ha ha
They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent. Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA
Up from 4, a few weeks ago during his visit to Scotland, we are now on 10 wars Trump has sorted.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
How many Nick Cleggs does it take to change a light-bulb? One to pledge wholesale changing of bulbs before aligning himself with eternal darkness.
This makes me smile. I want this too.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Farage’s immigration ‘plan’ amounts to nothing more than threats (or promises, if you’re racist) to be as inhumane, unlawful, moronic and prejudiced as possible about asylum seekers. It’s the most unworkable, unthinkable, ruinous, Trump-branded horseshit. Brexit failure and toxic racism on steroids.
Trump said on radio this week " Netanyahu is a war hero and I am too (Mr bonespurs), but no-one cares about that". 😭 True war heros don't ever see themselves as that. Trump calls them "suckers". Trump doesn't even dare visit Kyiv.

It's the actual dough. Quite nice.
Except of course when it comes to Putin and Russia. Then sanctions are undiplomatic in Trump's view.
Today Trump said on a radio interview: " Netanyahu is a war hero. I guess I am too, but no-one cares" . Mr bone spurs is upset he's not applauded for heroism. He's so humble. By the way America our European leaders praise him to manipulate the toddler, to stop him doing damage.
Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's Dana Perino melting down over his tweets:
Texas in 2025.
A murderous dictator has kompromat on the US President and is making him do his bidding. The Cold War never ended for Vladimir Putin. What is happening to America right now is his greatest triumph.
Yeah edited first. Removing all mention of Trump.
Churchill could have ended the war in 1940 if he wanted to, too.
Not only has he not "ended 6 wars" or done it without "ceasefires" (some skirmishes ended in ceasefires, but the long running waring issues remain), but Trump also said Ukraine was the ONLY war remaining. GAZA GAZA GAZA!!!!!!!

OPINION: "Israel will be spending the next few decades either deflecting or processing what its forces are currently doing in Gaza," writes Tufts University Professor @dandrezner.bsky.social.
Most certainly, if there is a god, he certainly wouldn't have sent Trump as a saviour. Just think 'what would Pope Leo do/think/say'. Then you will have the right answers and be on the right path. Ps. I'm not Catholic, but know a man who embodies Jesus when I see him.
Keep it up, Gavin! You’re under that orange skin of his.
Thank you Macron. Your press conference this evening was so honest and balm on the sores of lies from Trump. "I told Mr Trump you speak to Putin but he's still bombing Ukraine, he's not serious about peace. Ukraine is.We need a ceasefire now. Putin only understands a show of strength".
Aghh i missed it. Do you have a clip?
Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression. Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h. Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either. For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.
Key European leaders rallying around Zelensky, traveling with him to DC, is what leadership looks like.
Second-to-top BBC headline: rage-baiting about refugees. The Rwanda plan failed for three years at the cost of £700m and is still discussed as a credible deterrent. But let's do sarcastic updates on a ten-day-old pilot scheme. I would welcome a benign interpretation of this kind of toxic reporting.
Last night I watched The Electrical life of Louis Wain. As an antidote to my anger/anguish over Ukraine/Gaza/Trump/Putin. Beautiful & heartbreaking. It didn't have the desired affect on my spirits. But thankful to Louis for normalising cats as pets. Which made Alice & Phoebe possible in my life.
Gavin Newsome has become the funniest and most clever man, and is playing MAGA ding-a-lings like a ding-a-ling's banjo.
The fact that Trump insists that Putin agreed that the 2020 election was rigged, that Trump won it “by so much” and the war in Ukraine wouldn’t have happened if he’d been President… tells you all you need to know about Trump’s feeble mind, his grotesquely needy ego and how easy it is to outplay him.
We are still getting VAT £ for the luxury and privilege of private school. Any money extra for state schools is worthwhile.
By population ii mean birthrate population.
There is population decline. And I don't care if private schools close if not enough kids.
Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over. The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely. Do not.
I used to enjoy watching Anna Botting on Sky papers.She used to be balanced & compassionate.The last 2 wks she has castigated Lab over private school closures bc of VAT(2023-79 closed,2025-29 closed).Non doms leaving.NOT She said we were maybe to "gentle" on migrants & shld look to what Trump doing!
You can’t assert the former without the latter also being true.
He spends $200 MILLION of your💰on a ballroom and his family doesn’t deny making billions off his presidency. As you cheer for him caging brown ice cream men & kids, he invades DC to cover a child sex trafficking ring and trashes the constitution to cling to power. He laughs.
Every day, politicians and the right wing media whip up hatred and fear of migrants. None of them say this is wrong. None of them make the positive case for immigration. None of them tell the truth. And then, today, someone did speak out, and the sodding BBC sodding apologised for them. I give up.
The Americans are idiots. Do they really think Putin will fly over a US military base without collecting data?

I don't like the implication of this new guidance from Police Chief board. To indicate ethnicity of a person attested to "prevent social unrest & community tension". So they're suggesting we calibrate our response to awful crimes by the ethnicity? If that's not the suggestion what's the point?
Guess the group wasn't worried about "tyranny" after all...
The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.
I love this trolling of Mango Mussolini. 🤣
🔴 Farage Claimed There’s ‘No Money in Politics’ Just Before Running for £91,000+ MP Job EXCLUSIVE: Unearthed comments show Reform leader dismissing MP salary, just weeks before becoming Britain’s highest-earning parliamentarian
Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including: -42 consumer protection cases at CFPB -20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ -6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC -7 crypto cases at SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.
@neeratanden.bsky.social
Remember that viral story last week about Angela Rayner bulldozing allotments? Which even the allotment society somewhat debunked? I looked into one of the sites and it’s wilder still: they are *increasing* the number of allotments, not cutting them. capx.co/angela-rayne...
Trump doing a press conference right now saying Zelensky was to blame for the war "what HE'S done") then later says Ukraine have no chance of winning with Russia. Great news for Russia going into 'negotiations'. Trump the great negotiator is an absolute idiot liability.
Trump: "I get along with Zelenskyy, but I disagree w/ what he's done. Severely disagree. This is a war that should have never happened...I was a little bothered by the fact that Zelenskyy was saying, 'I have to get constitutional approval.' I mean, he's got approval to go into war & kill everybody"
OMFG the BLEATING of the "victims" of VAT on private schools is one of the most insufferable lobbies in the entire social media sphere. You're paying VAT for your little darlings. Get over it and get a life. If you can't afford it, join us, The Plebs, in the state system. 1/3
