This has been posted by the President of the USA. The PRESIDENT OF THE USA!!! FFFS!!!!

Did you know that the Trump Presidential LIbrary Foundation (run by Eric Trump, of course) was given a piece of Miami real estate likely worth hundreds of millions of dollars this week. Like, just donated to them. By the state. For nothing. On which they can build anything.

This is big: Michelle Mone is being forced to pay back £122m after supplying poor quality protective gear to our NHS during the pandemic. But she STILL hasn't been kick out of the House of Lords. Mone has to go. Agree? Sign the petition today: 38d.gs/lrpq

Not quite there yet but another step in the right direction. humanists.uk/2025/10/02/c...

So... the Panama Canal, Greenland, the Gulf of Mexico, Canada being the 51st US state, stopping the war in Ukraine. Are they all on hold or did Dementia Donny just forget them?

Interesting theory.

Don’t believe them when Chump says: “the radical left” because it is HIS CULT members! Release the #EpsteinFiles and end the Chump Regime👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

ICE. Donald Trump's homegrown Gestapo Goon Squad.

The conflation of antisemitism with peaceful protest against the genocide in Gaza (by the Israeli and British governments and many others) in order to deligitimise such protests, is the flipside of the coin that leads some people to blame all Jews for the actions of the Israeli state.

So as many Jews were killed by the police in the Manchester synagogue attack as were killed by the terrorist.

"I'm here to talk about what others won’t. To tell the truth about what makes our country great and what makes it not so great. While others thrive on creating scapegoats, I am here to tell you a different story." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Whichever side of the political divide you're on, if you're making policy based on what you think are the instructions of some mythical deity, you shouldn't be anywhere near power.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester. Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

This needs saying. The British and Israeli governments, together with Jewish religious leaders, are trying to use the Manchester atrocity to stifle pro-Palestinian protests. We're being characterised as 'un-British' or antisemitic. We're neither.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Multiple furloughed workers from the Department of Education had out-of-office messages blaming Democrats for the government shutdown automatically sent from their email accounts without their consent or knowledge, according to four sources familiar with the situation.

Apparently the Israeli genocide in Gaza has come to an end after the Manchester synagogue attack. No need for any of us to protest any more. www.bbc.com/news/article...

📌 The entire world 🌎 is laughing at America now 🐥

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

I'm not a fan of the church or its institutions but this is very good news for gender equality. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0...

Opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza is NOT antisemitism. Don't let the tragedy in Manchester be used as Israeli government propaganda.

A cynical political strategy used throughout history: Offer a solution that's unacceptable to one side and then blame them for the ongoing conflict. This is Trump and Netanyahu seeking a way to continue the genocide and blame Hamas. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Oh, that’s a good one.

Everyone with an ounce of common sense knows the 'war on drugs' can never be won. It's always been an empty rhetorical device designed to make political leaders look strong in the face of an insurmountable problem.

The man who is responsible for adding $2.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years, and who is responsible for allocating $75 billion to kidnapping citizens, is taunting U.S. citizens by threatening to shutdown safety net programs. It’s time people. Courage over comfort.

I will be singing this all day 2..3..4..5..6..7..8..

Israel Bibi must be in the TrumpEpsteinMaxwell files. There is no other explanation for their behavior. apnews.com/article/isra...

Hawaii's supreme court rejects the argument that recording all interrogations is burdensome for police: “If children can record everyday events with ease, law enforcement cannot claim hardship to record perhaps its most consequential investigative act.”

I wonder why Infantino is resisting calls to ban Israel from international competition? Surely not anything to do with his friends...

Give Greta the Nobel Prize...

Another post that could have been written by a petulant 13-year-old.

Just to confirm George's view from this side of the Atlantic; Trump is a standing joke here amongst anyone with at least half a brain.

The brazenness of it! “A weapon to exert command and control. The same administration that terminated federal grants to punish diversity groups at Harvard is now using federal grants to reward colleges for favoring conservative groups”. Cornell William Brooks www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Infantino is as corrupt as the people he's protecting and the people giving him his instructions, not least Trump. The Israeli team represents a nation engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide; they should be banned from international competition. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Today, a company linked to Baroness Michelle Mone was told it must repay the government £122m for breaching a contract for medical gowns during the Covid pandemic. Read our special report online on some of the other fat cats who made a mint during covid. ➡️ www.private-eye.co.uk/pictures/spe...

Connect the dots

Starmer's Labour government could have stood up to Farage and his fascists, could have made the case for immigration, could have protected the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, could have upheld international law. Instead they're joined the race to the bottom of the right-wing barrel.

'It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.' Great words for today and every day after – from James Baldwin: a humanist, a black American, a gay man, and one of the most incisive moral voices of the 20th century.
