Casually racist and sexist?

Get the fuck over yourself.

This is a public social media forum. There was nothing casually racist or sexist in anything I posted. Grow up.

The US government administration has become an international terror group.

They’re not even following their own shaky set of rules - just Donald’s desire to look like a tough guy.

US strikes another vessel off Venezuela coast, killing six

President Trump said the vessel belonged to "narcoterrorists" and that it was "trafficking narcotics." US officials have not provided evidence to this claim.

"You need to be unapologetic, someone who gets the modern media environment and social media, and is a competent speaker - all of which Polanski is."

Zack Polanski: Can the Green Party leader ‘rebalance the scales’ of UK politics? | The News Agents

In little more than a month of leadership, Zack Polanski has grown the party’s membership and become a powerful figure on the left-wing of UK politics. Can he, and the Green Party, take this further…

By pulling further Right, the old farts who want to dominate and control are only going to push the younger generations further Left.

Look at the Zack Polanski in the UK. Look at Zohran Mamdani in New York. Good honest socialist policies - and the younger generations flock to them.

Good.

Gen X is always ok. It’s the defining feature.

And on that note…… hope you’re ok 👍

A fellow Gen X.

He’s never used the NHS in his life! Doesn’t understand the value of anything. Total W⚓️

Are there any Americans who actually know what these words mean? 🙄

Age Garton @agegarton.bsky.social · 5h

Yeah.

I mean it didn’t until you said it, but it sounds intriguing!!

I was originally going for a prize-winning pineapple, some engine grease, and a rusty scaffolding pole.

A tax on millionaires and billionaires is NOT going ruin Britain.

When taxing the super rich is properly balanced, it works brilliantly as a means to raise much needed tax revenues.

The right wing media barons must be shitting in their silky pants.

As if they keep writing all these headlines - and our membership numbers and polling just keeps shooting up. 🚀

Now at 110,000. Over 55% increase in just one month!

Lower bills. Fund NHS. Tax the super rich.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

What I’d like to see happen to this POS isn’t something I can type and remain an active user of Bluesky.

But it’s painful. I can tell you that. In fact, excruciating is a better word.

I hope he doesn’t have a massive coronary problem at the news.

That would just be awful 😇
