Exile from GunaiKurnai Country.
Trump was President for more than four of those years.
RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Webb and #r4today are very keen to "safeguard" kids from trans "ideology" but it seems they are not so worried about the far right...

I know we are not allowed to make parallels with Nazi Germany, but this is pretty much hiw the SA started; doing some "safeguarding"

“We’re in 2025, in #SoutheastEngland …”

What? This should only happen in the North? Wales?

Lady, it is the existence of SE England, the cost of living there, and the kind of people who make it what it is, that the rest of us blame for many of this nation’s woes and inequality.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

The illegal #occupation began far earlier

The constant emphasis on 1967 risks an eventual #settlement rewarding #Zionists for illegal actions in and after ‘67

The last legal boundaries of #Israel - not fair but lawful - were those proposed but never implemented in 1948

… and Israel violated them.

#MetPolice were soft on sexual violence against women, inquiry finds.

Is there any possibility that a Met Police officer, known by his peers as “The #Rapist”, or his colleagues tasked with protecting women from sexual violence could have suspected that?

#SOAS professor: “#China doesn’t want to drive #Zambia closer to the #US

Is it just me, or does Nick Robinson accusing a resident doctor who has campaigned for Labour of being politically motivated feel a bit soiled?

Today’s #TFTD presenter finds himself getting “angrier” all the time.

Perhaps appearing on #BBC #R4Today is bringing him into contact with too many toxic personalities?

#NickRobinson: “My first #BBC job was taking calls on #Crimewatch. Many callers were time wasters”

At the interview, Nick, did you say “This job is beneath me, but I’m willing to give you the benefit of my considerable talents as long as you don’t expect me to take the task seriously”?

#NickRobinson’s first #BBC job was taking calls for #Crimewatch, and he just admitted he considered many of the calls to be “timewasters”, very much NOT the police attitude

Seems Nick’s entire career has been plagued by people wasting his time, worthy of his contempt

#Pharmacies in the #US now paying people to take drugs away - up to 5x or 6x what those drugs would previously have cost.

If your #medication used to cost you $100, you should now be given $500 just for collecting it.

Explain to the pharmacist that #DonaldTrump has made your drugs 600% cheaper.

I’m not so sure.

Didn’t the Roman Catholic Church used to sell “indulgences” (pardons by another name) to swell their own pockets?

… and nobody ever accused THEM of being child molesters and covering up for sex offenders.

Oh, wait …
The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

“A former CO of the #SAS told us the accusations might not be a reflection of the whole picture”

Well, no. They were not intended to be

They are allegations of wrongdoing in a certain place at a specific time

They are not meant as a critique of beret colour, or marching songs.

#AnnaFoster: “I won’t even try to define ‘rage bait’ …”

Also Anna Foster: “If I ‘bio-hack’, presumably I will …”

An example of #BBCBalance, or discrimination in word definitions? Is Anna Foster trying to rage bait, or simply aura farming?

Perhaps #SusieDent can explain?

“‘Rage bait’ is the word, or two words, technically …”

I presume #AnnaFoster will be punished heavily for this break with orthodoxy, where qualified journalists repeat a script no matter how banal or error-ridden it is?

Mason declares that in his judgement we have been misled by Rachel Reeves.

It feels unprecedented that the BBC has made a "call" on a story, and is something that was absent throughout the terms of notorious liars such as Johnson.

There were certainly no "calls" about Brexit lies.

When I joined the military, training in public speaking was a big part of preparing soldiers to give instructions and lead briefings.

How is it possible to rise to leadership of #22SAS, apparently with no skills in this area?
