When churches host/support this kind of deranged political crap, it's time to end their tax-free status. Similarly, end taxpayer support of separate schools, private schools, and religious charter schools. They are hothouses of hate and division. #cdnpoli #abpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

The decision to overfund a military to “defend” a people who are far more likely die of preventable causes because we refuse to ensure that they have healthcare is maddening

Trump is calling for a record $1.5T defense budget. Roughly half of this spending will go to private contractors, many of whom routinely price-gouge the government. Reminder that Don Jr. and Eric Trump are big investors in drone companies looking to obtain defense contracts. See the problem?

Good grief.

My goodness, is there no bottom to their depth of depravity?

My thoughts also.

Textbook corporate greed.

Agent Trump is worth his pay. All the other spy agencies seem unable to take him down though, which is surprising since he is actively working against so many nations.

There’s currently a frantic search taking place for two US pilots who were shot down in Iran, and this idiot is talking about taking the oil.

Don’t let this piece of bad news get swamped by the buckets full of Trump’s shite.

This White House starting to look pretty leaky www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Good news.

Aiding and abetting is surely a crime and further still, ‘I was only following orders’ is no defence, especially since their first priority should be that of their voters not the President and most definitely not the lobbyists and ‘big money’. The DoJ will be busy when it regains its independence.

americans have absolutely no idea how badly the war is going for the united states, all thanks to the gutless, witless journalists who refuse to cover the facts of the situation

The President of the United States would like everyone to know that he is acting with criminal intent, in case there was any ambiguity.

Quite.

Protesters gathered in Trafalgar Square as it filled with voices condemning ICE terror From London, a clear message rang out state violence will not be ignored. When abuse goes unchecked, the world responds. Solidarity doesn't stop at borders.🇬🇧

Yep. True enough.

HEADLINE OF THE DAY: 😆 #BuhBYE

Sorry,NOT Sorry Krusti ! You Made You Bed,Now Go Play In It 🤣......

Future history books will note that the quest to repeal the Affordable Care Act is when the Republican Party became hell bent on destroying the country out of pure spite. The horror of giving people access to healthcare is the stuff of GOP nightmares. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

My somewhat morbid laugh of the day.

A heavy slice of idiocy.

Surely everyone knows this now?

Today’s Artemis II launch marks a major step forward in space exploration. I have had the privilege of spending time with this crew and seeing their discipline and commitment up close. As they begin this mission, I am wishing them a safe journey and a safe return home.

If the Carney government was looking for a fool-proof roadmap on how to rein in large online platforms from knowingly causing harm to their users — including children — the recent judgments from California and New Mexico provide some excellent guidance, writes @supriya.bsky.social

Well this isn’t good.

10 minutes to go…

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is about to sign a voter suppression law. Super lawyer Marc Elias is ready to file a lawsuit to stop it: “Florida will be sued.” 🍿

Disgraceful. Israel’s government needs to be held accountable in The Hague.

Go home! 😎

Pete Hegseth’s broker tried to line up a multimillion-dollar investment in defense companies just weeks before the US –Israeli attack on Iran. Now it’s blowing up on Hegseth. 🚨 Today House Oversight opened an investigation & wants answers from Hegseth, plus execs at Morgan Stanley and BlackRock.

Hmm, more likely a ballroom update.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social has told NEU teachers’ union that @greenparty.org.uk would abolish ‘toxic’ Ofsted. I have been through many inspections. The one thing I have never seen Ofsted do is improve a school. The second thing I always see Ofsted do is cause huge anxiety. I'm with Zack.👍

Trump's attack on vote by mail isn't about integrity—quite the opposite. He knows vote by mail protects against all the well-known Election Day voter suppression tactics. This is all part of his effort to rig the upcoming November election. We can’t let him succeed. Save our Republic!

Wow. Then King Charles really does need to stay well away from the treasonous scumbag.

Hmm, on balance, I think that he is right. Difficult decisions do have to be made, but after Trump’s latest outbursts about countries not wanting to be involved in his dreadful war of choice, I don’t think the King should go and abase himself before the Pedofelon destroyer.

I’d not want to live in a banana republic, especially if it doesn’t have any bananas.

My greatest fear was that this might happen. NATO has, at least, been forewarned. The betrayal of Ukraine, not so much. I sincerely hope that he’s out of office in the near future.

This was already known and people voted for him anyway.

France closes airspace to US military. Spain closes airspace to US military. Italy denies use of airbase to US weapons planes. Starmer supports Israel and USA bombing missions! @mphamishfalconer.bsky.social UK government is a disgrace. First aiding and abetting Israeli genocide; now this.

Labour are holding water companies to account. Record levels of inspections by the Environment Agency show the work being done to prevent problems, not excuse them. Greater oversight of water companies is just one part of our once-in-a-generation water sector reforms.

Yep. Quite right.

That does seem to be the crux of the matter, but then it does need a special strategy to defend genocide.

I do hope so.

The new Israeli execution law will see Palestinians sentenced to death by military courts with little oversight and a low bar for evidence. It should disgust anyone who claims to stand for equality, human rights and democracy.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇
