RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

I don't know what is more depressing. That the BBC seems to have no clue what democratic socialism is or that someone who comments on politics for a living thinks it's the same as communism. Jesus wept, indeed. GCSE, Introduction to Politics, Chapter 1, stuff.

The far right want you to believe that immigration causes an explosion of crime. It's simply untrue. Crime has gone down - and crucially, we are a markedly less violent society than we once were.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits" "And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids" "This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

I know this won't surprise anyone here but Musk's reprogrammed artificial intelligence is spreading misinformation about yesterday's attack on a train

"What binds Polanski and Mamdani is not only their left-wing credentials, but their rejection of political cynicism." Let's go! 🎉 www.europinion.uk/post/how-zac...

🚨NEW: It shouldn’t have taken Virginia Giuffre speaking up again (this time through her memoir, released after her death) for this to happen. Buckingham Palace stripped Prince Andrew of his titles today, years after Virginia risked everything to tell the truth.

Just for context and Elon Musk’s claim of “widespread slaughter” in Europe. The per capita murder rate is EIGHT TIMES HIGHER in the US

⬇️Trump convicts himself⬇️ I actually think the president would be blamed. If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. This is the president of the United States [who] has to get this done! —Donald Trump, 2011

Biden admin: eggs expensive Trump admin: eggs under armed guard

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

🚨 NOT A DRILL: AI Job Apocalypse People are literally training AI to take their own jobs. It might be too late for a lot of us, but if you’re a student or a parent, this is a must-share and a reason to rethink taking on student debt in a field that may be taken over by artificial intelligence.

⚡️Dutch liberal party overtakes far-right nationalists in snap parliamentary election. The far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), whose leader Geert Wilders has argued against aid to Ukraine, lost nearly a third of its seats in parliament, according to exit polls.

Nothing wrong with egg and chips but there’s some truth here too 😂

The claim that "civil war is inevitable in the UK" is better understood as an expression of the author's desire to see blood spilt on British streets.

Yep, this is the real reason Musk wants chaos and violence in the UK

Musk calling for civil war in Britain again. Man’s clearly never met a Brit. You can’t get them out when it’s drizzling, never mind manning the barricades.

The Trump Action Tracker has an update! Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions. www.trumpactiontracker.info? 1/2

As I’ve explained to you before, a dementia screening test is as quick and simple as can be. It only seems challenging to people who are quite cognitively impaired, like our President— who’s proud that he could identify a picture of an elephant. America— what have you done?!!!!

Ah, yes. Reform UK. "A movement built by real people." All smiling and clasping their hands in EXACTLY the same way. I'd love to see the prompts that generated this. <make them happier> <make some of them young> <make two of them - NO, don't want to upset Pochin - one of them black> ~AA

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

No kings but pumpkings

I have a very bad feeling about this...

One great thing to see at the Cincinnati #NoKings rally was lots of people engaging with local organizations that had tables – there were political organizers, labor unions, charitable organizations, human rights groups. Looking for a next step? Reach out to your local organizations.

Of course she has. The small matter of owing £122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone. NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.

Lots of good coverage of the reactions to Sarah Pochin’s miserable racist comments over the weekend. I hope that colleagues in Parliament take every opportunity to ask the other Reform MPs if they agree with her, and to ask Nigel if he’s going to kick her out of the party. I’ll be doing so.

The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. -toni morrison

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It speaks volumes about the dire state of British politics that an MP can say that she gets mad about seeing Black and Asian people in adverts on TV and she hasn't immediately been expelled from her party - a party that hopes to form the next Govt.

Sarah Pochin has condemned British Athletics for selecting relay teams that do not look like her.

This is what they voted for. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/u...

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

NEW: The cleavage shot no UK tabloid will print. If you want to understand how truly ignorant and absent the British media is on Russian interference, read on. A Kremlin spy scandal, a trove of bikini shots....and still nothing but tumbleweed. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Reading was central to my happiness as a kid. Didn’t grow up in a household with books but had an amazing local library with wonderful librarians, a safe place where I also did arts and crafts and other things I didn’t at home. Libraries should be at heart of any campaign to get more kids reading

So much of my work as a writer is informed by my experiences growing up poor and from a household which was not of the type that usually produces writers. Some people have recognised this about my work (e.g., British Science Assoc) but the publishing industry doesn’t seem to give a fuck.

The “diversity” I bring to my work is less about being brown than it is about having grown up poor. Which had a much bigger negative impact on me.

“They cheated on a commercial…”

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

A reminder that this is the same Rishi Sunak who when he was Prime Minister raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

BBC did not ask - Are you standing by the draft Bill you have tabled - or wil you be withdrawing it? > Would up to 430k people with ILR who arrived by 2019 still have to leave under your policy [as they would under your bill]? Or are you ditching that proposal now? > How far back can that go?
