Watching the Epstein Survivor press conference and there's Trump's military flyovers. What an asshole.
I feel for these people but I'm afraid nothing will happen unless they name names, and even then, nothing will happen #Epstein
Watching the Epstein survivors now speaking at their press conference. Apparently Epstein and Donny were true besties and Jeff kept an 8 by 10 on his desk. They have a list of who they were farmed out to but aren’t talking about who those people were at this event.
BREAKING: Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver the Budget on 26 November. This is a big moment. The cost of living crisis is still hitting hard, our NHS is still under huge pressure and the ultra-rich still aren’t paying their fair share.
You're still a selfish piece of shit. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Scotland’s vast energy resources should be in Scotland’s hands, so we can deliver lower bills for people and businesses.
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Spot. On.
Telling it like it is, and cutting through.

If Nigel Farage really loved Britain he wouldn't talk it down at every opportunity to a bunch of ill informed right wing American fuckwits who know sweet FA about the reality of this country.
All Labour in Scotland. Typically corrupt just like their history in Scotland. All taking backhanders from private healthcare.
Imagine having an unbelievably massive Parliamentary majority to make people’s lives better.
When centrists adopt far-right rhetoric, they don’t make themselves stronger. They make themselves look inauthentic, legitimise the far right, and shift the political debate onto terrain defined by their opponents. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
Labour in England has serious opposition from the left and from the right. Meanwhile his Labour party tries to be both. So what does it stand for now?
As Yvette Cooper pushes forward new laws to make it harder for child refugees to get safe passage to join their parents in the UK, here's a picture of her from 2020 campaigning for the complete opposite.
we didnt deserve mary shelley then and we dont deserve her now
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Having a bad day?? Here's a pick me up... 😊 #bluesky #nature #animals
Scotland are scrapping peak time rail fares, should the rest of the UK do the same?
Finally! We're turning a corner, folks.
Let’s find out if this is true

On #gingercatappreciationday I throw it back to Kea’s brudder Lava 🌈 A true bowling ball of a guy, purest heart, lightest of spirit, champion opportunistic napper. A legend. 🧡 Scritches to all ginger cats. Appreciate youse.
Good to hear someone telling the truth so publicly about Starmer.
Newly elected Green Party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, would he ever work with Keir Starmer?
These people are absolute fools, and they prove it every time they speak.
Kristi Neom's "facts" are as authentic as her lips and hair extensions.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
“Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House” is the opening line to a Frank O’Hara poem, I’m certain of it.
An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

And more Seal Tracks.
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Hard eye roll. Policy Exchange puts out a report which conveniently erases the UK Govt's GFA commitments on the ECHR and The Telegraph rush out stories that the experts have spoken, even as the plain wording of the GFA gives a lie to this. Patrick Minford syndrome lives on.
ChatGPT 5… “Noem’s brag is more smoke than substance: waving the flag about “jobs for Americans” while this admin guts unions, strips bargaining rights, and weakens protections. It’s not pro-worker — it’s union-busting dressed up in patriotism.”
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
This is where support for Trump leads to. This is what he wants. Absolutely horrific.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Ditto.
Love this Venice poster for Kim Novak’s Vertigo. Liked the film so much that I’m seeing it twice, although that’s also because Kim Novak will be at the second screening. #Venice
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.

What a photo! A young Iberian lynx outside an abandoned barn where he was born, Sierra Morena, Andalucía. By Sergio Marijuán. This camera trap image was a candidate for the 2025 Wildlife Photograph of the Year organised by the Natural History Museum of London

These are so brilliant. I remember seeing some of them before. They're just great, aren't they?
A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.

The Saltire represents the nation and people of Scotland – nothing more. It is, in any context, a simple statement of identity. www.thenational.scot/news/2542980... #ScottishUDI #ManifestoForIndependence #NewingtonResolution
This seems important:
Tonight's 'gig' as must learn to call them.
Council only does black bin collections every three weeks. We have more rubbish than that. So, I bought a second black wheelie bin. £60 online. Painted on our house number, but added "a", e.g. 42a, put them both out for collection each time. Works a charm.
A Belfast family paid Aviva £60 a month since 2007 for critical illness cover, but when their 16 year old son with an incurable degenerative disease needed round-the-clock care, Aviva refused to pay out on a technicality.
Only us Scots could get into an argument via graffiti 😂

Israel is committing a holocaust. Silence is complicity.
And don’t forget , he told his nephew to let his disabled son die.

He also canceled medical insurance for his sick then-infant great nephew because of a family feud--over money, of course.

Watched Pig the other night, and absolutely loved it.
You say that "Westminster govt (however it's chosen) condescends to permit a referendum", and that mindset is normal when dealing with a colony. Scottish independence will hopefully be taken out of Westminster's hands by the UN. There are several reasons why WM does not want to lose Scotland.
‘Scotrail capped its increases at 3.8% in April 2025.
Peak rail fares have been scrapped on ScotRail trains, meaning passengers will no longer pay higher prices for travelling during busy weekday rush hours. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Jobs disappear and the markets cheer.” On Labor Day 30 years ago, I issued a warning the growing divide between workers and the super-rich. Watch. youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.

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”
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
