The rank obliviousness to the inherent paradox in his abject fucking stupidity is so next level as to be almost a thing of wonder.

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.

👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly."

"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."

"I blame you for that."

They didn’t get it last time you can understand why the grifters are even more fearless this time. America is a failed experiment. It stands for nothing anymore.

Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability, deserve accountability, and will get accountability."

These people could tell you that up is down and day is night without the slightest hint of shame. They embody everything people despise about politicians: lying, cheating grifters.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

With people rather than cats. The Supreme Court made such a colossal error giving the POTUS immunity they will never be held accountable and no democracy should be happy with that .

I don’t think we are talking enough about the USA just destroying ships and murdering people in the sea based on Trumps command and hunch they may be dealers.

The way IT is managed in organisations due to GPRD is fucking absurd. I literally spend the first hour of my day fighting IT and then throughout my day stumbling into issues of simple tasks I can’t do due to IT limitations. I want to throw this piece of shit out the window rn.

This issue with vets really gets on my nerves. My local vet got bought up by a chain, and every time we took Zsa Zsa, I felt like it was a fishing exercise looking for ways to shaft us. The vet at our new house is independent (we think) so hopefully will be better #SkyNews

Charlie Kirk receiving the Presidential medal of freedom. Just fuck off. He clearly didn’t deserve to die but let’s not pretend he was anything other than a divisive fucking horror.

Gosh I so get that feeling. Hahah. I’m not far behind and I feel the same. I worry about most things much less but I worry about my mortality much more.

I know right. I found it really moving. I also found it comforting as I think about getting older.

Same. I do think about getting older all the time and reading that really moved me.

I love this so much, such a beautiful way to think about growing older.

I’m a news junkie and I’ve had to stop watching coverage because I can’t deal with the praise of Trump. This one thing does not erase who he is. Clearly I’m glad there has been a cease fire but it isn’t a peace deal, Israel is still guilty of war crimes and Trump is still a cunt.

We’ve all noticed the right now trying to brand us all as Christian. It sounds weird and sticks out like a sore thumb in the UK, because we just don’t really identify like that anymore. It’ll be interesting to see the knuckle draggers all claiming to be Christian and reciting the Apostles’ Creed.

Henry Mance @henrymance.ft.com · 3d

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Even if there's lasting peace between Israel and Gaza, this doesn't take away from the fact Netanyahu and Trump are both fascist authoritarian leaders.

The former is a war criminal responsible for genocide, and the latter a convicted criminal who wants to impose military rule in America.

It’s about time, though. For them to suddenly start doing this is going to look like a panic response to Reform and make it easy for Reform to call it out as such. If they had hammered this message from the start, ( because it’s true )perhaps we wouldn’t be where we are.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.
