The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

What a loathsome hypocrite Toby Young and the rest of them are

This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… No thanks If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that law. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

there will prob be a global boycott of US goods by the end of his term

How it started ... How it's going

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Fuckety fuck. Fuck fuck fuck

Just so I'm understanding this right if Iran shoots protesters our country will have a military response. But when OUR government shoots protesters it's okay and the people deserve it .

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV. The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence. This is not protection. This is occupation.

How quickly these things become normal is causing real cognitive dissonance. How is life so normal yet we’re living a history that is repeating and we were told frequently would never happen again?

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

You know how one day the geeky kid in school snapped & punched the bully & then the teacher came running to protect the bully? That’s the UK government…

This is a serious question - where are they going to export the indigenous people to? It makes sense to send the ones who say ‘I’m Irish’ back to Eire (don’t worry Ireland - no one wants that for you) but where would they send the real true North Americans?

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Quick update on the political situation in the US: the government is led by a billionaire pedophile who believes he can murder American citizens with impunity. Seems bad!

At a time when billionaires and oligarchs own the majority of our press, when local journalism is in decline, and social media is rife with misinformation and abuse, there has never been a greater need for citizen journalism Who funds us? No one...except you. Become a friends of Bylines supporter:

This has all been a campaign of desensitisation then implementation. Incrementally lowering tolerance, then unleashing horrors. The result? Instead of condemnation of child abuse, women sexually violated en masse and murder by the secret police, we have “debate” We are the social experiment.

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt. The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.

All of this 👇🏼 Labour have lost me and a good few card carrying labour people. I’ll also not be going back. I agree that they’ve done some good things but all overshadowed by their constant appeasement and blaming ‘migrants’. Could not be more disappointed with this govt.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

The second instalment of my Sisyphean debunk of 75 supposed Brexit “Benefits” will be out later today. Yesterday I looked at whether we got all the same trade deals for free when we toppled out of the single market, and more importantly, whether maintaining the status quo is actually a benefit. 🐻

So why is Starmer doubling down on failure?

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

1. I hate to see good people wasting their time and energy. And there’s perhaps no greater waste of time and energy than seeking to change the trajectory of the human population. It’s not just futile, but also a massive distraction from things we CAN change. This thread seeks to explain why. 🧵1/12

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit.

He didn’t pay the wrecking company he got to tear down the White House, and now there’s a whole wing of it that’s just rubble. Can’t believe they trusted a man with his appalling history of non payment. Maga are fools

OTD in 1918 USSR invaded Latvia. This is how Russia became the world's largest country. We keep peacefully attacking our neighbours.

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve". He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Feed crows kibble. Just sayin’

The absolute state of it over there. Waaaa - benefits. Waaaa - people on benefits are scroungers - waaaa I might be rich one day and ‘capitalism’ - waaaaa The ever diminishing empathy and understanding in our society is driven by bloody main character techbros. In the words of Lily - I hate it here

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"

New analysis by the House of Commons library estimates that Brexit is costing the Treasury up to £90bn a year in lost tax revenue. To fix our nations finances we must get closer to Europe and fix the problems caused by Brexit... https://bit.ly/4pobLzs

Labour’s immigration polices are *exactly* what Braverman would be doing had the Tories won the last GE. Explain to me how this “defuses racism” when all it did was stoke it last time? 🤔🤪

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Georgian language is beautiful too

Please share everywhere. I’m not sure it will make much difference as I & many others were shouting about this back in 2015, but Farage is a Russian far right asset and he’s dragging our country into a place full of hate and bile and zero empathy

Do follow Bear - if you don’t know Bear you should know Bear

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

#Farage .. #Remembrance
