YES YES YES thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 🙏 😩AT LAST someone rasiing the alarm about what Europe's plummeting brith rates really mean!! "In reality, without immigration there will be no Europe, no civilisation and no one left to argue about it."⚠️ It's. that. simple.

Join NFHA & @warren.senate.gov in sounding the alarm on the Trump Admin's plan to gut the law that gave women access to credit without the need of a male co-signer. This Admin is trying to set us back generations. We only have until 12/15 to act. Make your voice heard: bit.ly/4pwy1aD.

The ECOA passed in 1974. My mom divorced my dad in 1975. These things are not unrelated. She was finally able to establish her own credit, buy a house, start her own business… all thanks to the ECOA. 1975 was the best year of my childhood too, when my abusive dad finally went away. #ProtectECOA

I can't get over the fact that it's been several years and she's *still* talking about this thing that, again, nobody on the face of the earth has ever called her.

If you randomly have this kids 2016 Barcelona kit in the back of your cupboard and can save Christmas in my house please get in touch 🤞

Yet another magazine arrives in a wet, ripped envelope with a damp publication inside. You can see how plastic wrap caught on.

I've had some, limited, experience with employment tribunal judgments and judges working under considerable time pressure to write lengthy and detailed judgments often make clumsy errors of spelling, transcription and so on. That's axiomatically more likely true in the case of 300+ page judgments.

A billionaire telling you your kids don’t need more toys or school supplies is wild. Ppl who hoard abundance love telling working families we don’t deserve basics. It’s the upside-down logic that should infuriate anyone paying for groceries, rent, school supplies with real money. #Pinks #Momsky

one thing that doesn’t get enough coverage or comment with regards to this administration is it how much it hates the actually existing united states

A dignified response from the school. Makes Farage look even more repulsive. And racist.

Nigel Farage's new strategy is to call the childhood victims of his racism liars while lashing out at any journalists who dare to report his actions. This is just a small taster of how he would act if he ever got any power www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Hello. My name is Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor. You killed my mother. Prepare to die."

People in America who christened him TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) have it right. They know he's a coward who backs down when stood up to. But if you roll over, he keeps on bullying, because you've shown him he can.

And, for the love of God, Rutte, stop calling Trump “Daddy”and Starmer, stop the fawning over him. It’s stomach churning and isn’t stopping him behaving like a monster.

“ (Switzerland, in a distant second place, at US$8,000). Yet Americans’ life expectancy is six years less on average than Europeans’. So a brisk “Fuck off“ to Trump and his poisonous pool of pricks seems in order … Ditto to the likes of Farage & Truss who seek to emulate him.

Trump tried to declare the crisis surrounding Hegseth “dead.” @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social explains why Trump may have unintentionally revealed why the US seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela: “to make sure no one ever sees the vid of the 2nd missile strike.” 📺 youtu.be/f3LgHAUywYU?...

Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force news.sky.com/story/us-pla...

Another depressingly tone-deaf performance by Badenoch at #PMQs. Our continent is threatened from East and West, and Kemi wants to talk Westminster gossip. Rarely have I seen anyone as witless, be so pleased with themselves. Truss springs to mind. Johnson. Cameron. WAIT - I think I see a pattern.

No one should be surprised when a convicted felon kills people and steals things.

Imagine the right-wing reaction if Starmer or Biden had proposed something like this

Oh, Ruth. Ruth! #Shetland

Nearly every Take relating to this has been done except one, which is - why would the European leaders take advice from Starmer on how to beat the far right? Who among them envies his popularity or admires the sagacity of his advisors? www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Or, indeed, his success at taking on a radical right party whose support has more than doubled in his 15 months in charge and now leads in the polls.

Christian, if you aren’t capable of manufacturing the slightest bit of compassion for the hurting and hungry and terrified and desperate right now, what on earth are you singing for? Just what exactly are you celebrating? It sure as hell isn't Jesus. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/christian-...

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.” johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/christian-...

When you see a headline that sounds outrageous, just stop and think. Read the article - that almost always debunks the headline! Look out for the use of the word “after” - it’s a manipulation to make you believe cause by linking the action to most innocuous part of the story 11/

A teacher in a non-faith school *shouted* at children in an outburst where he: -told a Muslim child “there’s an Islamic school a mile away if they wished to attend there instead” - “tried to explain” the importance of British values of tolerance (oh the irony) 3/

Needless to say, the teacher was not banned *because* they told a Muslim child that Britain is a Christian country🙄 I mean that was *one* of the things he said And he was banned *after* several incidences So technically the headline is true, but that’s not the actual story! 🧵 1/12

🚨BREAKING🚨 MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union. The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

If anyone knows which reporter ignored Trump savaging their colleague to ask their own Q, please name and shame them. I think it's important for readers to know which reporters don't give a shit about the ongoing assault on their profession so we can decide which outlets aren't worth defending.

Your fellow reporter just got blasted on national TV by the president of the United States as "obnoxious" and "terrible" -- and you follow it up with a crappy question about the midterms, which are 11 months away. You might want to think about another line of work. You aren't cut out for this.

And I hope they will respond that Peggie was found to have harassed her colleague. And how disgraceful it is that several politicians chose to defend a racist, transphobic aggressor over the actual victim.

my wife grew up in a cult (JW) and I have lots of traumatic memories from my catholic childhood - the older I get the more convinced I am that forcing religion on developing young minds is child abuse.

Religion can’t be a shield for abuse, coercion, or medical neglect. Protecting a child from harm isn’t anti-religious. It’s the court doing its job.

"Tony Blair did what everyone else trying to court Donald Trump did – he convinced himself he could play the game and come out ahead. For a while, the mark is convinced they’re winning. Suddenly, though, the music stops and it becomes obvious who’s out and who’s in." inews.co.uk/opinion/blai...

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

'Foundation Stage, Learning Objective 1: The Revelation of God.' That’s what Northern Ireland’s RE curriculum starts with. Here’s our breakdown of what’s in it, and why – after the Supreme Court ruling – it urgently needs to become plural, objective, and inclusive.

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

ty to everyone who shared this important meme with me. a blueprint for life, really.

A complaint has been filed against Gianni Infantino, accused by an NGO of having violated FIFA's "political neutrality" with Donald Trump www.lemonde.fr/sport/articl...

Badenoch: "The only people who actually know how to create wealth & growth are Tories... £10.9 billion in Tory covid fraud certainly created wealth for Tory crooks. #ukpolitics

A Christian nationalist state is the end game. If you look at the history of the U.S. since colonialists first landed on the mainland, the desire was for a Calvinist theocracy, not a pluralistic democracy. Read Max Weber’s book, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.
