WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Half mast flags en masse look like a funeral route. I wonder if these so called patriots realise how miserable it makes normal folks.

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 4h

Been back to my childhood village in Essex for a funeral.

High Street is littered with tatty flags attached to every lamp post and telegraph pole, and by God, it looks awful.

Everyone I spoke to hates them. So intimidating. Apparently- "Epping Forest council is scared of offending the nasties."

He shouldn't say he disagrees with her. He should say he is revolted to the pit of his stomach by what she has said as is tantamount to a call for ethnic cleansing.

"People who are lawfully in this country, who have been working in our communities, our neighbours... to reach in and remove them from our country - for 'cultural reasons'. That is how far the Conservative party has sunk."

A reminder that creepy racist insurrectionist pedo defender Mike Johnson is continuing to block the swearing in of Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva even though she was elected on Sept. 23rd. She would be the 218th vote needed for the Epstein Files discharge petition.

Ahoy there, I have added these drawings to my online store that someone may buy them. More interesting than something from Dunhelm ! #art 🖼️ ✍🏻

www.chloecumming.com

Heavily vermillion/bright red crayon drawing of a skull with some prismatic ness, wax pastels, landscape format, small strong drawing

Portrait format mostly ink drawing of a possibly anatomically incorrect heart, very vibrant and strong and wet and spontaneous

Thoughtful wax pastel monkey, with corn behind, in Glasgow allegedly, strong poignant and interesting, partially rendered, me style

A puffin looking down and an eel biting up, mostly red ink with some pastel for highlights

“1.9 Million Foreigners Are Claiming Benefits!”

Or, as a normal human being might put it:

“1.9 Million Taxpayers Use The Same Safety Net They Pay For.”

Today I discuss the much needed context about The Times' regular moral panic about “foreigners.”

Foreigners Are Claiming Benefits! (And Other Things That Happen When They Live and Work Here)

The Times turns data into dog whistles - here's what those numbers actually mean.

Like somebody already said, by the 2028 in every blue city there will be demonstrations and rioting and the only answer to that is overwhelming use of force.
Then the situation is so bad, elections need to be postponed indefinitely. And there you have it, american dictator and autocracy.

Not what’s in it but

1. Instead of fines, companies must give shares to the government each time they pollute rivers and seas.

2. Bosses must be held directly responsible and accountable with risk of prion as part of this arrangement
