~Missing cat? Blame an immigrant. ~Unaffordable housing? Blame dirt-poor immigrants for buying all the houses. ~Cattle disease? Blame immigrants! There's nothing for which the GOP won't scapegoat immigrants. Tornadoes? Immigrants breathing causing change in air pressure.

What an embarrassment! Literally portraying anti immigrant views in another country The irony of doing this in Benidorm, Soain. Where the fully-fledged cultural takeover led by British holidayera & immigrants over the last few decades has rendered the town unrecognisable from its previous form

Trump says he “didn’t know much about” racist, anti semite Nick Fuentes with whom he dined at mar aLago Of Tucker Carlson’s unsettling, uncritical interview w Fuentes, Trump said “get the word out. People have to decide. Ultimately people have to decide.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

#BBC chair #SamirShah to staff: “we are, of course, acutely aware of the privilege of our funding+the need to protect our license fee payers, the British public..I want to be very clear with you - our position has not changed. There is no basis for a defamation case+we are determined to fight this."

“When the CIA makes an assessment of whether someone is likely to want to spy for them, to risk everything and betray their country in order to pass secrets to America, they talk about “MICE”…namely: Money, Ideology, Compromise and Ego.“ Which applied to Gill?

Your regular reminder that there is absolutely nothing "hard" or "tough" about targeting the poorest, most vulnerable, and least able to defend themselves groups of people on the entire planet

The ECHR is embedded within the Good Friday agreement, stating that it is a legal requirement of the UK government that the ECHR applies to Northern Ireland. Leaving it would be catastrophic for our human rights.

People would do well to listen to @alexdaviesjones.bsky.social on what it means to have a Labour government. You'll be sorry if we lose them. www.instagram.com/reel/DREyv44...

“the president who claimed without evidence that an election was “stolen” from him. Who then instigated a coup attempt that included false electors & was followed by an assault on the US Capitol that resulted in five deaths and injuries to 174 police officers.” entombment with no epitah or name.

"Do you ever get a lump in your throat? He's just doing so good," said an emotional Josie Parrott this evening. Troy Parrott's nanny was one of the proud family members nervously watching the Ireland v Hungary game in a busy pub on O'Connell Street in Dublin.

Me too....

Chris Philip on Kreunssberg again 🙄

This is looting.

This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes. Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”. Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

Facts

Just because tRUMP and RFK,jr want to eat roadkill and drink bleach, doesn't mean the rest of us want to or have to!!

As any competent autocrat would do.

As a hedge fund owner, Scott Bessent avoided over $900K in Medicare taxes by exploiting a major loophole. As Treasury Secretary, he now oversees the IRS — which has backed away from closing the loophole since Trump took office. The foxes are guarding the henhouse.

Darn those immigrants for buying all the houses.🙄

They don't know from one day to the next, which panty set to put on anymore!!

The corrupt DOJ is getting g ready to pay Trump’s buddy Mike Flynn millions of dollars in a settlement saying Flynn was unjustly prosecuted. Flynn pled guilty of lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russia. Trump paying for treason. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/Au9UKKV_

America under Trump's deranged watch is so consistently disturbing.

Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

Did you know......

Sweetheart, bless your heart. You were fine with Trump going after innocent election workers, families of judges, rallying a mob that killed police officers. But now that Daddy is upset with his girl, you are a victim. Sorry, @RepMTG. We knew you before you were a virgin x.com/RepMTG/statu...

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

WATCH - @tarapalmeri.bsky.social : “Hey Megyn Kelly… you want to hear the sound of one of the girls recruited from her nearby high school by Epstein? It is pedophilia. I would recommend you go listen to the audio from the police reports.”

Who could ever have predicted? WaPo: "They bought cheap health insurance promoted by the Trump administration. Then they needed surgery."

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

🚨 Signs that you are entirely detached from financial reality of Americans. This man has not been in a grocery store for the better part of his life yet he is on TV telling us how cheap it is to live. He represents the people who are banking on our suffering.

Powerful

It's meant to intimidate the rest of the GOP Congress as well, not just MTG. Cult discipline is breaking down.

According to Republicans access to healthcare is a privilege for working families while subsidies to corporations and lower taxes for the richest 3% is an investment. An investment in their ability to buy their next election. F*ck DT & the GOP. 🗣️ lizcurrymull (IG)

Trump issued a second pardon to a Jan. 6 defendant who had remained behind bars despite the sweeping grant of clemency for U.S. Capitol rioters because of a separate conviction for illegally possessing firearms. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Puppy-Killer's "deport 'em all and let God sort it out" policy nearly resulted in a *NATIVE AMERICAN* (as in the folks who consider Kristi an immigrant) getting deported. It was clearly a mistake but the cops shrugged & said "we just do what Puppy-killer says"

Fueling the Trump administration’s anti-voting effort are election deniers in key roles. Once-fringe figures are now serving in prominent positions in the Trump administration, emboldened to continue peddling election conspiracies and, more troublingly, to undermine the fairness of future contests.

"The Trump Organization is in talks that could bring a Trump-branded property to one of Saudi Arabia’s largest government-owned real estate developments, according to the chief executive of the Saudi company leading the development." I thought he wasn't supposed to profit during his presidency 🤔

Ooof. I can’t believe X chose this case, and this place, to fight a global takedown order. Canada is the one country with a Supreme Court decision supporting global takedowns. The case came out of BC, like this one. It was about trade secrets. This is an ugly NCII case involving a trans person. 1/

Special shoutout to Megyn Kelly and every sick, twisted MAGA defending Trump ~ You are disgusting. This was NEVER about protecting our children, you lying hypocrites.

They started creating what they claimed to be ending This is clearly Waste, Fraud and 100% Abuse in every way! The debt this regime is creating will last decades or maybe into the next century.

Engage with autocrats, yes, but don’t check your values at the door. That’s how Secretary of State (and my mentor) George Shultz approached the Soviets when he served under President Reagan. And it’s how we should approach China and Russia today
