Yet another problem of Brexit, English not the main language. If it’s from China you just don’t get any instructions 🤪 Try a translate app if you have one in your phone
Who is going to win? The good decent people or the selfish evil people? It’s worrying because we can all be both. Changed profile picture to Kishy awake; but note like me he’s always WOKE!

Meanwhile in my less gifted projects I have been trying to create a tree that is special to me from a photo onto cloth I can embroider. I’m useless at scale then realised that the photo was the same size as the space I wanted to fill so cut around it & used it as a template. Persistence is worth it
Fck YES! It’s a rigged GOP system to reap in billions
Brilliant, but just a thought; if people don’t genuinely believe there’s a higher power as a source of good, as they have for millennia they become arrogant & consider themselves God, just as Trump has done. From ‘good’ we get the concept of justice and even that seems to have been abandoned in USA.
That’s about the level of my cats hunting ability as well.
The only attention I pay to anything said by or about the despicable felon known as Trump, is in seeking the inevitable wonderful news that he’s either died naturally, been legally destroyed or locked up for his own safety & the sake of world’s wellbeing
Medical journal the Lancet has estimated that DOGE’s dismantling of USAID may result in >14M deaths, 1/3 of them children, by 2030. That’s like killing *everyone* in New York, Los Angeles & Chicago. These deaths from disease, malnutrition, & hunger will be largely out of sight for most Americans.

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.
“How do you expect to pay back all this debt?” Nebraska Republican Rep. Mike Flood: *Drowned out by “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” chants*
Yeah absolutely but in fairness, to save on paper these days the print is smaller than it used to be and given deregulation it’s rare to find written instructions with anything and if they exist they are online hundreds of pages long and possibly include hidden in the text ‘buyer beware’
How did he know? Just Watching or taking part?
But UK is not undoing the detrimental stupidity foist upon it by Brexit it is in too deep and is now is absolutely reliant on Trump’s USA. I will never forgive the Brexiteer traitors
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.
The one and only time Trump told the truth
Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.
“intolerable” or a still yet further plain & simple manifestation of ’insane’. Put him in care under lock & key for the sake of the whole world’s sanity & safety
NEW: After further analysis, metadata shows 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from the Epstein jail video. www.wired.com/story/the-fb...
Crockett: It seems like blue states are constantly putting red states on life support yet we got these little red states that ain’t contributing nothing.
Time to deploy the stage hook. If only it worked for the presidency.
The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.
Yeah the many idiots who voted for him and made him part of the despicable Nazi power that rules USA
Thank you. Very much appreciated but I still don’t understand why the same Conservatives applaud & accept ‘charity’ (how demeaning) from the hands of the wealthy and do not understand that the wealth is created by their sweat and toil and do not seek solidarity & fair reward for fellow workers.
The thing USA is ignoring that every time they ring 911 for emergency help and an ambulance, police and/or fire services turn up promptly to assist in any way they professionally can; that is Socialism in action. Why is Socialism such a dirty word? because money, hypocrisy & ignorance rules. Wake-up
I am that grandma, disabled, and ready to be homeless. My disability check doesn't even cover my rent. I work extra to keep a roof over my head. Husband passed of covid, or I wouldn't be in this situation. Should I start a go fund me now, or wait till I live in my car?
It should be all about priorities but it seems it’s just about blind stupidity. There is no excuse or reason
Since when did the facts impinge on the consciousness of a MAGA nut
It helps to find that you’re not the only one
I admire their guts and a shame their talent is confounded by the nonsense which surrounds them

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.
I just left the Senate floor after speaking out against the Big Ugly Bill. It breaks my heart that this is what we’ve come to as a Senate — and as a country.
What I cannot fathom is why people have issues with some apparently heartless Labour cuts and feel it appropriate revert to Reform who epitomise evil. Oh of course! These people voted for Brexit. Further why the hell don’t Labour claw back privatisation bonuses, bring back Clause IV and Tax wealthy
Huge!!
Flaunting extreme wealth in the world of extreme poverty goes against every trait that makes us human. And it's only possible because our governments sold themselves to the wealthy. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Kindness of strangers. ☺️☮️💙🌊✌🏼
Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Will do, if I can find it. Shame we can’t do a booking in Blue Sky
Very fine words. I’ll hold onto that. Yes truth must win. I fear for justice in the US as money seems to speak so forcefully. I am minded of the worrying observation of a Holocaust survivor. 10% of people are good and cannot be dissuaded. 10% evil & likewise. 80% can be persuaded either way.
Admirable!
Good tip. Thank you. I’ll try
I think just because I’m dyslexic I have this real desire to write down an account of what it was like as a neurodiverse person in the job market during these past decades. It would count as primary history as well but you know when you’re retired time management a problem slip
On one of these replies I commented I’d had 50 jobs & got a rude response it was nothing to be proud of. Surmise the recipient was small minded. Not quite 50 & I started when I was 11 and am now in my mid 70s, I count voluntary jobs as well. Most stimulating life experience ever. Life’s strange 🤣
I too came to education late due to dyslexia but always had a love of learning. My degree is in history and US historians are respected but the Trump situation I fear for their futures
Let's lie us into a faux war!
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
Tolkien’s palantir fell under the control of Sauron. Peter Thiel’s Palantir is falling under the control of Trump. How this story ends is up to all of us. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/palantir-the-worst-of-the-corporate
We don’t have to actually go through the utter madness of a Reform government for people to realise what a disaster they would be….Do we?
I totally agree that Trump represents a big fat zero but to deny he legally got voted in s president of USA ignores the horrible fact that many badly educated morons populate the Democratic world and they are incredibly dangerous and need to be addressed as fact & science deniers
A heat dome, which occurs when the atmosphere traps hot air over an area, like the lid on a pot, is expected to form Friday in the central U.S. and expand to the Midwest and Northeast over the weekend and into next week, bringing in a dangerous heatwave. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
www.cbsnews.com/news/mahmoud... The good news here is that so far (in this case ONLY) the administration has complied to a Judges order. That’s novel.
There are some days when the news can be overwhelming and leave you feeling sad and afraid. Today is one of them. Try to remember that the good in the world has always outnumbered the bad, stroke a cat and enjoy the sunshine x (Pic @imageplotter.bsky.social)
Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) is back in Washington, DC.. He gave this informative & impassioned speech on the floor of the Senate today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndnj3MikknY
Thank you for this you’ve educated me apart from seeing the technique replicated in the film “ghost busters” I didn’t know of the psychologist nor his experiments. It makes perfect sense given the 5. right wing tendencies; especially inability to think outside of the box
Just what precisely do the right wing want? Other than chaos of course, giving the opportunity for any low life to profit. I worked with someone once whose sole goal was to stir things up and make everything unpleasant the embodiment of Reform
Just this.
Genocide
Yeah and her Dad supports the Israeli genuine in Gaza. Nice family
Gavin is fun. Be like Gavin.
I wonder why that was? dailyboulder.com/report-votin...

Please write to the Swedish Embassy to help Greta Thunberg 🙏
If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.
Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."
But what is the political affiliation of CllrDBurcham@attleboroughtc.org.uk? Is this just a case of the usual horrendous business duplicity of wealthy Conservatives ‘The Taylor’s who seem very entrenched & influential in the town
This sounds like aggressive “re-programming”… …and surely breaks international law as to what captors are allowed to do with their hostages.
The right wing, united in their ideology from all over the world, are not adhering to any law. Not National, international or humanitarian, they are just obsessed with their own depraved determination to control and bring about their frightful ends.
Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...
Absolutely. Have you being reading Oliver Bullough too?
Absolutely. You’d think after Brexit even the numpties would have twigged but no. They fear migrants and ignore Russia not realising that Fascism is closely linked & sympathetic to Putin’s Russia. Authoritarianism from a different angle with similar aims
How prophetic. Yeah in the form of Reform.
Yes. I hadn’t realised just how many right wing sympathisers have positions of great authority in BBC; obviously yet another orchestrated disaster by the past Conservative government.
Don't BE DISTRACTED they scream at regular people. DISTRACTED FROM WHAT, SENATOR? What's the CONCRETE PLAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS OFFERED TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LOSING THEIR HEALTHCARE?
Deform deliver nothing other than false promises
The underlying principal of making a lot of money is the ability to rip off your fellow man and America has completed this circle so many times it’s made itself a noose to throttle the life out of it.
Seriously, this makes my heart sing!!! ❤️🎶👏🎉 Slava Ukraini! Слава Україні! #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 🌻

BREAKING NEWS:
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." —Louis Brandeis
Healthy but tired cynicism being expressed in this letter (to the i Paper). We’re all so bloody sick of the failure… of being lied to like this… of politics for simpletons who think the stuff they don’t like can be swept away with a magic wand and who have no clue how a country works.. or doesn’t.
I put copies of the DailyMail face down in Supermarkets working on the complete conviction that their readers won’t be able to find their daily fix of garbage because they are incapable of any form of alternative thinking
Yup.
… and global warming with the most influential country in the world in denial. Our “Springwatch” shows how certain birds will die out because of the dislocate in their food supplies so after you’ve enjoyed the views do something!
It is digusting that muslimhaters try to frame muslims as nazis. And most muslimhaters are Christians who in fact were the nazis and performed the holocaust. More than 90% of all fighting muslims during WW2 chosed to fight against the nazis, against the holocaust.
Hang on in there
