“I would never call a President of the United States of any party a fucking piece of shit on a podcast, until today. He is a fucking piece of shit. This is where we are. I want to go back to an America where I can’t make the case that the president is a fucking piece of shit.”

Peter Mandelson has been arrested by the Metropolitan Police under suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office, following search warrants at two addresses in the Wiltshire and Camden

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

"The President Must Be Removed From Office" Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by Zeteo's @andrewperez.bsky.social in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit. zeteo.com/p/time-for-t...

The same goes for Brexit.

"The age group who were unable to vote in the Brexit referendum overwhelmingly want to rejoin the EU. A whopping 83% of them said they would vote to rejoin. There is likely a pro-EU majority now of around 8 million. The pro-Brexit majority of 2016 has gone. It has literally died out." #RejoinEU🇬🇧🇪🇺

‘We can see that courage’: Greece recovers long-lost photos of Nazis’ May Day executions

"Why aren't reporters asking whether the president has the legal right to launch another Middle Eastern war?" From my Zeteo piece/newsletter today: zeteo.com/p/an-illegal...

Samantha Crausman, 28, has had ongoing symptoms since a COVID infection 4 years ago. She and her parents were fully vaccinated when they got COVID in 2022, but only she didn’t recover. At risk of worsening with reinfection, her family still lives with strict pandemic-level protections. #LongCOVID

lol he said Europe is being ruined because it has windmills now.

Councillor Darren Rance, who joined Restore Britain on Wednesday, has left the party and would like to rejoin Reform. "it's clear that what this organisation stands for is far more sinister than I first thought", he wrote on Facebook. www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/...

Trump is emotionally unstable, ignorant, incurious, delusional, AND surrounded by sycophants who manipulate his emotions, ignorance and delusions for their own ends.

I believe it's important to situate any writing about the vaccine hesitant in reality: MOST PEOPLE VACCINATE THEIR KIDS. This is the norm, and best practices around vaccine messaging emphasize how safe/common vaccines are. The anti-vaxxers are a dangerous minority and need to be portrayed that way!

It's super sad when the child of an anti-vaxxer dies. You know what's even more SHAMEFUL? A child who had no choice but to remain unvaccinated dying due to the selfishness of an anti-vaxxer. Keep the anti-vaxxers marginalized and scorned.

Fox News announces that Trump's tariffs have been struck down. I kept waiting for Swan Lake to start playing.

The squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers. This is a mess of Trump's own making — and a reminder that he's not all powerful.

For You Who Are About to Give Up

Cohen to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog."

"LYNN" "LYNN" "WHERE'S MY FUCKING DINNER"

oh ok then

Former public prosecutor Nazir Afzal on the speed at which the police have acted on Andrew's misconduct allegations compared to the Epstein trafficking allegations: "When the state is the alleged victim, the state moves at pace. When women are the alleged victims, the state takes its time"

The Trump regime deported a 2-month-old baby and his family after the infant was hospitalized following their detention at the Dilley family detention center. Rep. Joaquin Castro says the family was shipped off with only the money in their commissary — $190. The cruelty is endless.

Rep. Ro Khanna Just Said :UN human rights experts just concluded the Epstein files may have "crimes against humanity." The DOJ continues a cover-up. Here's what needs to happen now:

We're being subjected to a deluge of medieval anti-science claptrap from the right-wing press. Meanwhile, anti-vax attitudes are rising and measles is back. Their opinions are not just "hot takes" – they're wrong and dangerous.

My weekly politics digest for Central Bylines. Reposts would be very welcome please... centralbylines.co.uk/politics/a-l...

⚠️ "You want voters to trust Robert Jenrick as a potential next Chancellor of this country." "In the past year alone, you have accused Mr. Jenrick of lying, dishonesty, incompetence and disloyalty to his country." "Why would you expect any voter to trust him with the country's finances?"

Wake up and don’t smell the coffee. Seriously tho, if this doesn’t freak anyone out while they’re wading through their flooded shit-filled house in flip-flops I don’t know what will.

This year, for Lent, I’m giving up.

Heads up. 🚨 This needs your eyes and ears right now.

In their manifesto Reform attack the "positive action" provisions in the "Equalities Act" which, they suggest cost billions, reduce productivity and destroy meritocracy. Have they identified a great social evil? Let's have a look. /1

Positive action: an explainer

Downes clarifies: it is more ancestry than faith Those without [white ethnic group] British ancestry aren't really British. Having a passport, living here, believing in British values [and by this logic being born & bred here without ancestry] aren't enough for Restore Britain

Good grief. Everyone knows they were just friends.

"What the fuck did you just say"

"How long diseases like measles and the flu linger in the air — after an infected person has left the room" RSV: up to 45 mins Influenza: at least 1 hr Rhinovirus: 1-2 hrs Measles: up to 2 hrs Norovirus: up to 2 hrs COVID-19: up to 3 hrs Chickenpox: several hrs Mumps: several hrs TB: 6-12 hrs

The regime has spent more time, tax payer dollars and man power trying to lock up a five year old in a bunny hat than any of the Epstein predators. They’re still fighting in court to deport little Liam Ramos. They’re also fighting releasing the files.

It *literally* does. Thats what it is. A document which says youre British.

Measles outbreak in North London which is one of the worst areas for take-up of the vaccine.

Measles, airborne. 21 day incubation period. The anti-vaxxers really won the day! 😔 BBC News - North London measles outbreak hits several schools with tens of children infected - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

AGREE.

The main argument against rejoining the EU is that it would "embolden Farage". Bullshit. It would expose Farage. It would force him to oppose the majority of voters, remind them that his last "Great Crusader" left us poor and powerless, and force him to admit he wants us to remain that way.

With Rupert Lowe launching Restore Britain as a political party, there is a real danger of splitting the thick racist moron demographic.

more weird and horrible Reform viewpoints coming to light! Any chance of the vibe-fluffers examining those views and questioning them robustly? Lol!
