I just cannot take this shit seriously. If you're a senior Labour figure and think that the party's stance is cowardly but are too afraid to put your name on the record saying it YOU ARE A COWARD.

What the fuck is going on? How is this being seriously put forward?

Amazing, some GOP members *don't* want Nazis in office. I did not see that coming.

One benchmark of a democracy is whether it is willing to hold those who have served at the very highest levels to account. Can you imagine the United States ever doing something like this?

Labour can't even do its Brexit shift competently. Say it was wrong and you can make Farage carry the can. Say it was badly executed, as Labour is doing, and you support his narrative that Leave voters were betrayed. It would be funny - except we'll all have to carry the can for their incompetence.

The fact that this coincides with donald leaning hard on Zelenksy to end the war quickly is interesting. I'm very curious what sort of communication between the white house and Russia occurred before donald's meeting with Zelenksy.

Wooow...

Something I find interesting about this extreme pressure that Trump is reportedly putting on Zelensky is that it comes when Ukraine is making *better* progress in the war than previously. I genuinely wonder if Russia promised something to Trump if he could get Ukraine to give up.

This is a fantastic video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sFB... It effectively discusses the environmental impact while avoiding stupid numbers without context, and effectively redirects the concern about AI environmental impact where it deserves to be, at the companies running AI.

Amazingly Reform does not have the best interests of the people they are elected to serve at heart. I know, I'm shocked my own self.

Interesting post from a Kent cllr on *that* expletive-laden Reform meltdown KCC leader: "We are the shop window in KCC. Nigel knows that. He is super aware that we are the flagship council" Kent's constitution says: "The role of the Council is to improve the quality of life of the people of Kent."

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Well. Shit. At least the live hostages got out of Gaza.

Well. That's going to really improve their reputation huh.

I think Starmer has been a huge disappointment. He’s been passive & cowardly. He’s not politically savvy either. I also think he is a decent person and really wants to fix the country. However, the hatred for him, almost universal in the country, is nothing short of radicalisation. It’s batshit!

Historically large single day protests don't have lasting impact unless they develop momentum and organization. This is a time when an aspiring Democrat could make the No Kings cause their own and try to build a real organization for messaging and campaigning.

They use this rhetoric and language to justify their "reaction" to the left.

They're right, they do have a higher pain tolerance, but the democrats don't have much choice. This is the only chance they have to actually wield power, and if they don't do anything with it they're screwed.

They are trying to trigger resistance to justify the actions they want to take. Of course, the question is when does the oppression become so bad that resistance becomes impossible to avoid?

Serving Colonels becoming leaders of countries has such a good track record...

Brutal. You love to see it. There's plenty of sentiment like this in the country, but the media is mostly geared towards ignoring that and pushing right wing talking points.

I hate donald as much as anyone, but it will be genuinely horrific if this ceasefire collapses. Gloating that things are going badly is not a good look.

I've always found the "You're not X so you can't have an opinion on X issues" to be profoundly stupid. Anyone with empathy can look at issues from the perspective of others, and if you can't do that you can't have a reasonable opinion on *anything*.

Carole Malone, "Youu can't say what women's rights are because you're not a woman" Zack Polanski, "You're not trans are you. We can all say you're not that thing so you can't have an opinion" 🔥 "You can still have an opinion from listening to people"

Not enforcing standards and rules literally breaks democracy. Just look at the US.

Well. That's a distinctly worrying thought.

I am sure that we're all shocked.

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea" *they all laugh* There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

JUST IN: All 20 surviving hostages freed by Hamas under Gaza peace deal.

Fantastic

See, this is how you deal with drug smuggling boats. No deaths, lots of evidence, a job to be proud of.

Here's to all the remaining hostages finally getting home safely

The thing is, it's clear that Vance just doesn't care about the truth anymore. He just lies and lies, and never expects his lies to catch up with him. Real democracy is impossible in that scenario.

stop thinking right now

Man, it's really good to see genuine, real, defense of trans people from a high profile politician.

I think the surge from the greens has scared them into realising they can't just ignore their base.

I have difficulty believing it can last, but let's hope this is the start of a lasting peace.

Just, wow.

This is very funny. I like how angry this is going to make Trump.

🗡️

This is criminally stupid. But also, this is exactly how governments vilify innocent people and justify using tools of the state to target people who say nasty things about the government.

They really are.

Welp. That was well said.

He's literally going to pardon a pedophile.

This is something the current UK government should remember as well tbh. This crackdown on protests about Palestine is turning into a real problem

On reports the Home Secretary plans to grant police more powers to prevent ‘repeated protests’, Greenpeace UK: “Protest works because it is repetitive. If police had told the Suffragettes or civil rights activists ‘you’ve made your point,’ they would never have won the victories we all enjoy today"
