Donald Trump has all the integrity of a bad dose of diarrhea.
Well done the morons of Merica for electing this watery piece of shit.

America doesn’t have a king. But Trump acts like one—ignoring the Constitution, detaining citizens without due process, and attacking the rule of law.

That's what tomorrow's No Kings Day protest is about.

My mom would never forgive me if I met someone as famous as Prince Andrew and didn’t pose for a picture. I ran to get a Kodak FunSaver from my room, then returned and handed it to Epstein. I remember the prince putting his arm around my waist as Maxwell grinned beside me. Epstein snapped the photo.

A familiar picture of Virginia Giuffre with Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell.

We were girls no one cared about, and Epstein pretended to care. A master manipulator, he threw what looked like a lifeline to girls who were drowning. If they wanted to be dancers, he offered dance lessons. If they aspired to be actors, he said he’d help them get roles. And then, he did his worst.

It’s an ideology not an organization. These people want a bogeyman, and bogeymen are fictional.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

I hope I won't be arrested for asking this question.

If we have peace in Gaza, and there are no hostages, and the UK recognises a Palestinian state, and we all support free speech ... will it still be illegal to use your free speech to ask for action for Palestine?

A long time ago, I watched it 'A Few Good Men' on a transatlantic flight, and I have to say, it was actually more interesting than watching 10 minute updates of the flight map!

The Nobel Peace Prize for someone blowing up boats in international waters, and instigating a civil war in his own country?

I'm hoping that the Nobel Peace Prize goes to Greta Thunberg.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

We need constantly to remind ourselves that there's nothing normal or inevitable about it. It would be a catastrophe from which we would not recover for many years, in which terrible things are done, to minorities, to vulnerable people, to the rest of the living planet. We cannot let it happen.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Having a well-paid job, or being in a well-paid position doesn't mean you'll feel good about yourself when you wake up at night realising exactly what you've done.
This should haunt Karoline Leavitt and I don't think she'll live a contented life... Same with Ann Conway, whose daughter now hates her.

Karoline Leavitt is 28 years old, and she is going to have to live the rest of her life with the memory that she defended a fascist, racist, and convicted rapist with lies and crap like this.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 17d

Reporter: The president posted an AI deepfake of himself talking about medbeds. What was he trying to communicate?

Leavitt: He is transparent. He likes to share memes and videos. I think it is refreshing to have a president who is so open and honest.
