"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Remember when Sinn Fein moan about government not doing this and that, they protest against renewable energy all the time. And yes that is Matt Carthy against renewables as he sheepishly retreats from the protestors on Monday now that the mask slipped

Funniest thing is that every single one of these protesters has spoken the words "you know what they should do? They should call the army in" at least once in their lives

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Under the terms of the ceasefire, if an American oil tanker wants to transit the Strait of Hormuz, it must pay $2 million. In Chinese yuan. To Iran. The United States has crossed the event horizon of political humiliation.

I 100% support the right to protest but the difference in how these (mostly) rural men are treated by the authorities compared to students/young & working class people/anti-eviction protesters is absolutely galling.

God, these lovely, peaceful morning hours in Europe before that stupid cunt wakes up.

Listen, I always want to leave room for people to learn and grow. We all make mistakes. But if you voted for Trump, you are responsible for the shit show he is wreaking upon the world, and I'm honestly not sure there's long enough in a lifetime to meaningfully make up for that.

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

The USA is a signatory to the UN Genocide Conversation. This is what it says. He's demonstrably, undeniably guilty of breaking Article 3 (c) and probably (b), (d) and (e) before morning. You don't need the 25th amendment. www.ohchr.org/en/instrumen...

JD Vance: “Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think, a really bad person.”

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

Around 40% of parents of children attending Catholic or other religious denominated schools would prefer their children to attend a multi-denominational school, according to a new survey carried out by the Department of Education and Youth jrnl.ie/7005200

The lack of photos of the rescued fighter pilots is an enormous red flag. It is the kind of propaganda this administration would fire out on every channel it has. Instead, nothing...

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken. Original post

This is quite obviously a threat to use nuclear weapons. It is very important to recognise this.

Never not going to be the country that elected this man

This is psychotic. The President of the United States needs to get help. Totally unhinged and extremely dangerous.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

These are the words of a rogue lawless president in charge of a rogue lawless nation. The US has zero credibility criticizing Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong Un or anyone else.

I have to say, I very strongly disagree with this. There's something unique about Trump, which is why he has no successors, no one has demonstrated an equivalent hold on the minds of so many people, and no one has exhibited similar imperviousness to consequence.

We’re only a year into this (already historically infamous) second term… …and look at where we are.

🚨NEW: Gregg Phillips, who holds one of the most consequential jobs at FEMA overseeing disaster response, is doubling down on claims he teleported to a Waffle House and a church — writing "haters gonna hate" on Truth Social and citing biblical accounts on teleportation. www.cnn.com/2026/04/01/p...

I think it would be good for their own sake if the moneyed elites read some more history. Great inequalities tend to be leveled eventually - the easy way or the hard way.

NEW: Israel becomes the first state in history to write INTO LAW the death sentence for one, specific ethnic group. This is Cabinet member Ben Gvir celebrating with champagne after the vote. This is not a government, it is a death cult. They won’t serve champagne in The Hague. (🎥 Cradle Media)

Israel's parliament has passed a law making the death penalty a default sentence for Palestinians convicted in military court of lethal attacks

Breaking: It'd Be Nice If We Didn't Have To Hear About This Prick Every Two Minutes

In 1890, Van Gogh’s Wheatfield with Sheaves and Rising Moon captures the shift from day’s labor to evening’s calm. It reflects his serene vision of human and natural cycles—work and rest in quiet balance.

Since the war began, Iran’s oil income has doubled, Russian sanctions have been eased despite them helping Iran to kill US soldiers and, in working to open the Strait of Hormuz, the war’s primary objective is to undo its primary consequence. The dumbest fucking war in human history.

It cannot be long before Trump’s retinue of sycophants, enablers and justifiers, in government and in the media, start telling us, "I never liked the guy", "I tried to restrain him" and "I was only obeying orders." So be sure to keep the receipts.

WHY ARE WE IN IRAN?

Give your key defenses and fortress cities to Russia which has been unable to take them in 12 years of fighting, and then we who are acting to strengthen Russia will pretend to help you protect the rest of your country. This is shameful, rotten, and stinks of corruption.

Sharpie sales about to go up

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Gutting. Should've wrapped it up at 0-2, and think we would've struggled to get past Denmark, but this is still a tough one to take.
