Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

It’s a super power.

Blind man is abused by ICE in Portland.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Photographed Cleveland Councilwoman Rebecca Maurer at the No Kings rally at Willard Park, in front of the Free Stamp. Great to see her answering questions and engaging with residents. She’s running for another term in the newly drawn Ward 5. More info: rebeccaforcleveland.com

Whoa.. Providing food for others with her SNAP benefits? I do believe that is fraud, good sir. Sorry, no link to the threads post. According to the comments, he went private after the backlash anyway. Source: old.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAt...

The only time I’m tempted to have a look at Twitter is to see how the bent Tory client media spins something like being so wrong about the China spy business. And the only time I’m grateful to people here showing me what’s happening on Twitter is when they show me how the bent Tory client media… etc

Updating my LEGO White House

Mike Graham tried to troll me once by pointing out to his numbskull acolytes that I use a pen name. It was all going so well... until I pointed out that his real name is Archibald. Hilarity ensued.

I’m disgusted by how these women were treated. When reporting horrific domestic abuse & sexual violence they faced misogyny from the police meant to protect them. It’s a disgrace. Urgent action is needed to rip this culture of misogyny out of police forces across our country.

Seems Goodwin doesn't want possible fraud to be investigated when it comes to his own sort. They are getting nervous. Expect loads more of this between now and the next general election. Calling it 'Project Fear 2.0' seems an odd choice, given how Project Fear 1.0 proved to be correct...

Then fix it.

Standing against the storm, letting the knave in the W.H. know he will be judged as a tyrant in history books around the world.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans. ICE is terrorizing communities.

Dumfries and Galloway, thank you

Sickening. Shameful. And in the end, useless. Those were the words that came to mind when we watched the Alaska Summit unfold.
