www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Who could possibly defend Shabana Mahmood now? Anyone?

There is a lot of appalling shit in the world right now. But this really made my blood boil Money buys *everything*, even things that were previously beyond its reaches www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Listening to a podcast suggesting Starmer wants to go for an election before mid 2028 Which is *crazy* Why? Because it’s before a US election that will likely be incredibly dark, and will see Farage’s US friends and allies doing things will go down very badly w/UK voters

Gutting US counterterrorism and federal law enforcement capacity was a bad idea. Sorry to get so partisan. I know the president wants to see more political violence in the US, and thinks it's important for federal forces to prioritize crackdowns on nonviolent, noncriminal migrants. I just disagree.

You know… there’s a sure-fire way to put Epstein conspiracy theories to rest… #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Today's 70% fall in net migration to 205,000 was not one of the six stories in BBC ten o'clock news. Ta massive assymetry in whether rises in immigration and falls in immigration are considered newsworthy by broadcasters Down by 140k isn't thought to be. Up by 140k undoubtedly would be.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Let’s take a moment to remind ourselves what Farage thought of Truss’s budget that cost Britain about £30,000,000,000.

Great picture. When I say 'great'....

All the Right Wing apologists are cheering the fall in UK immigration announced today while missing what could be a huge problem - 99% of emigrants are under the age of 35. That’s a big brain drain.

An open letter, and an invoice for €59.94, to Alberto Mazzola, boss of Community of European Railways jonworth.eu/an-open-lett...

Is anyone else bothered that our president is calling for the execution of folk in Congress who served in the military for encouraging folk to defend the constitution? I can't remember the last time a U.S. president did this and I've been around for a long time.

Never before has America Ever had a more Corrupt Government. Trump, his Corrupt Administration, his Corrupt Republican Party are Destroying America 🇺🇸. Midterms vote Democratic and stop 🛑 the bleeding 🩸👊⚖️⚖️🇺🇸😎

“We are ramping up sanctions on Russia… We are freezing known Russian assets… But let me be clear, I don’t actually mean the right honourable member for Clacton.”

Let me use MAGA logic & agree with them for a thought experiment. The National Guard shooter is an Afghan national, so we must deport all Afghans & Muslims & stop immigration. OK. Trump's failed assassins were 2 white men. White men are the #1 domestic shooters in America. So, deport all whites?

There have been 378 mass shootings this year as of November 25th— #Trump & Republicans response is to dismantle the Gun Violence Prevention Office & replace it with an office dedicated to “protecting” the 2nd Amendment

Trump followed Putin’s advice and revoked the offer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. The leaked call comes just days after the U.S. presented a 28-point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine, largely reflecting Russian positions.

Witkoff committed TREASON. SAY IT! www.ms.now/chris-jansin...

If Senator Mark Kelly does not win the Democratic Nomination for President he should be the Senate Minority/Majority Leader. He is what a leader looks, talks and acts like….

Interesting attire for a US Ambassador at a formal occasion.

Two Guardsmen lie in critical condition tonight—and a political movement is turning their trauma into a tool to attack half the country.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

🇪🇺 “The division of Ukraine is unacceptable — it would set a precedent for future wars,” — Ursula von der Leyen. “If we legitimize the destruction of borders today, we open the door to new wars tomorrow. We cannot allow this,” the President of the European Commission said.

Russia’s take

"Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid." .. (Heinrich Heine) (Cartoon Dave Granlund)

Every year I get sad and then give myself a little pep talk: It'll be OK! We'll all just have to be our own Darth for a few months

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump companies destroyed documents against court orders. Trump flushed documents at the White House. Trump is a criminal who thinks he is above the law and his buddies are complicit. Even if/when they release the Epstein files, it's likely the most damning evidence will have been destroyed.

I’m running out of words to describe this Administration.

Russia continues to destroy the city. A residential building in Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region, caught fire after yet another strike. Flames have engulfed parts of the area as emergency services battle the aftermath.

Here’s a list of people that should be in jail.

National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

Good! #riseup #standup #resist #revolt #respect #support #change #together #love #nomorehate #transgender #lgbtqiap2s

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Insane

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts. I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations? Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

The last minute replacement of the judge presiding over the Palestine Action judicial review with a panel with Zionist links is deeply, deeply troubling.

We are not in a war. Killing soldiers on a street corner in D.C. is an act of war only if you are a legitimate combatant. Calling it terrorism is charitable; it is simply murder. It is also what I've been worried about for weeks. Soldiers on the street can't police. All they do is present a target.

I took an oath to serve and protect the Constitution and its people, and that oath never expires. The military should never be about politics - it should be about our country and serving. Period.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey just called for a national investigation into Russian interference in British politics. (PM doesn't commit but slams Nigel Farage's party for the Nathan Gill bribery scandal)
