The BBC faces huge criticism for giving more coverage to Reform than other parties, whilst showing very little actual analysis of Reform policy

Trump's triumph is standing there bragging about the billions he has given Israel to commit genocide and level Gaza and now getting Times magazine declare his 'peacemaking' a triumph. Hitler would have been so so jealous.

Marc Benioff, who used to lean kind of liberal, has decided it's more convenient to be right-wing, and he owns Time. (I heard an interesting podcast conversation about how MAGA despises Silicon Valley oligarchs because they have no real commitments except maximal profit.)

Trump can stand there and boast about the billions he has given to Israel to commit genocide and level Gaza and now demand we praise him as the peacemaker in the Middle East!! And all our media go along with it.
This world is insane.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

This unwell man, who was President of the United States, is trying to rewrite history.

Nice try, Don. Biden wasn’t president on January 6, 2021. I would say even his own voters can’t be this gullible, but…

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales)

Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories….

You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country.

And you think it’s bad now?!

As long as Israel continues to oppress the Palestinians, we will continue to resist them.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

'Centrist' socialism isn't a thing: if you call yourself a 'socialist' & a 'centrist,' you're just a confused Tory.

By definition, 'centrism' ignores the poorest & the richest & perpetuates the status quo. Socialism encompasses all & demands societal revolution.

One of these two has put soldiers on the streets of his own cities.

One of them kidnaps and detains his own citizens to deport them.

One of them sponsored a Genocide.

One of them is a suspected peadophile.

Don't be so sure you know which one is the bad guy.

It's quite simple.

Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did).

Because they are stealing all the money.

This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.
