Scarborough to Spineless Speaker Johnson: “I’m not gonna mock you, Mike, I’m just gonna call you a liar. Because that’s what you are. You know EXACTLY what happened in Maine.” #AbolishICE

A smarter person than me might make some connection between a Narcissistic President looking into a reflecting pool and creating a swamp full of dead ducks. #trump #reflectingpool #draintheswamp #narcisist #deadduck

"Apparently Nigel Farage is Britain's most endangered politician. A surprise to the families of Jo Cox and Sir David Amess. Still, having a milkshake lobbed in your direction must be terrifying. Good thing there's a £5 million crypto bung available for security purposes." via Truth Against Hate

@radiofreeskaro.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/... No new Doctor Who for a while Christmas episode announcement was a bluff. Bit disappointed but for the best I suppose

What if... Oh wait that really did happen. 🥴🤤

Funny to think that this President has spent way more time talking about his 80th birthday party on June 14th, than America’s 250th. Oh! You didn’t realize?! That the big WH UFC event being pushed as Freedom 250 was happening on June 14th, his birthday? Not 4th of July? Yeah. All about him.

🇬🇧 British Political Spectrum Quiz FYI My result: Eco-Socialist Economic: strongly collectivist Social: strongly progressive Sovereignty: strongly cosmopolitan Military: leaning anti-interventionist Authority: libertarian Constitutional: reformist Take the quiz: quiz.jmoxley.co.uk

One called Nazis “real visionaries”. Another wants to “blast” all Muslims “off the face of the earth”. Third said Nigerians should be melted down to fill in pot holes. None of these people are suitable to hold elected office. Reform UK must act and expel them. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/05/12/d...

In my experience, minorities are trusted to define what they consider discriminatory language or actions against them.

Convicted felon, alleged pædophile, multiple adulterer, bomber of schoolchildren, liar, grifter, con-man. But it takes him AI cosplaying as Jesus for the Christian Right to finally see the light and label him "disgusting".

Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference

The only man who could bankrupt a casino and doesn't know how magnets work just started a war for no reason. Negotiated a peace deal with himself and lost.

To all the people posting AI fake pics of the earth seen from Artemis. YOU ARE NOT HELPING!

I just wrote the most important piece I’ve published in a while. Trump said something out loud that should terrify every American. Not Democrats. Not Republicans. Everyone. Read this. Please. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/the-most-d...

When the Right talks about us they use playground words like "lefty" "snowflake" "wokerati" etc. When we talk about them we use historically accurate terminology like "Right Wing", "Fascist", "Nazi", "NeoCon", "Libertarian" etc. What does that say about the Right's level of intellectual engagement?

Isn't it time we acknowledged that JKR, apart from being a hideous TERF, is an appalling writer? The HP books are SO badly written, getting more bloated and tedious as the series went on.

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

“We should not be haunted by the spectre of being automated out of work. We should be excited by that. But the reason we’re not excited by it is because we live in a society where if you don’t have a job, you are left to die. And that is, at its core, our problem.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Trump gets confused about public healthcare. He can't understand why anything that saves lives would be free.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... Come on USA, what does this disgusting racist have to do before he and his cronies are hauled out of the White House and given the Mussolini treatment?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

1935 Sinclair Lewis writes 'It Can't Happen Here' a cautionary dystopian novel predicting the rise of an American fascist dictatorship”. 2026: MAGA celebrates. “At last! We have created the society described in the classic fantasy novel - ‘Don’t Create an American Fascist Dictatorship’”

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. Today we remember the 6 million Jews like myself who, between 1939 and 1945 were systematically rounded up and industrially murdered in Nazi death factories. Lets ensure this never happens again. To anyone. Always fight Fascism.

I guess Adama was right! (Of course he was)

I have questions. What kind of police officer dresses like they're outfitted by TJ Maxx and Army surplus? How do I know they are real officers and not larping proud boys? If it's legal to carry a concealed weapon why was the nurse, who hadn't drawn their weapon, executed without trial?

They took him aside, showed him the NATO agreement that was already in place and pretended he'd won something. Once again Trump chickened out, abandoned his tariffs, and struck a "deal" with Europe that accomplished nothing. To quote Bugs Bunny "What a Maroon!"

In honour of Tom Baker's 92nd Birthday I will be responding to the unpredictable events of the day in the manner of a be-scarfed time-travelling bohemian with a ready grin and a manic glint in my eyes. Jelly baby anyone?

Now more than ever, we're a two timing, back stabbing, and disloyal nation without integrity.

If you people want to scream about impeachment and releasing the Epstein files do it on your own god damn timeline because I have NO patience for that Pollyanna shit anymore.

Why are ICE dressed up for jungle combat in a snow covered city? People should just bump into them and say "Oh sorry, didn't see you there. Good camouflage!"

"The ICE agent who killed Good is Trump’s second-term Kyle Rittenhouse."

ACCURATE.

Today's 'Connections' in the NYT. The first category is- "things that'll get you shot in the face in Minneapolis"

Renee Good, a citizen & mother was shot 3 times in the head, on camera, by a masked gang. She is smeared by Trump & MAGA lunatics. May she rest in peace & her family find comfort. Frankly the only surprise is it took this long. Farage wants “ICE style raids” in the UK. #r4today
