How many Reform voters do you think now believe Farage is the Prime Minister?

2 people dominating the news today. Sir David Attenborough who has spent his life promoting a love for nature and the planet with warmth and humanity. And Nigel Farage, a snake oil merchant and grifter who convinced so many to vote for him. I know who I'm going to be thinking about today.

The British Electorate: 2024, The Tories were so shit we would have voted for a traffic bollard to knock them out. 2026, let’s vote for a party largely made up of ex Tory cabinet members.

NO! they are NOT trying to make ivermectin happen AGAIN????!??!??????

„Ihr werdet die Deutschen immer wieder daran erkennen können, ob sie den 8. Mai als Tag der Niederlage oder der Befreiung bezeichnen“. Heinrich Böll

Today the US federal regime released a 16 page "counter terrorism strategy" that includes this. Trans pogroms begin in earnest soon. Please save trans lives in any way you can think of. Please.

whoever leaked that he’s panicking about leaks is the funniest person in the government

I know there's a lot going on, but it's odd to me there isn't more of an intense social focus on the wide epidemic of sexual abuse scandals in evangelical churches. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

What do you call governance by AI hallucination

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

BREAKING: Federal trade court strikes down Trump’s backup tariff plan, imposed after the Supreme Court invalidated his broad-based tariffs. Going to need some economists to chew on this one. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

On August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville. On August 17, 2017, Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner that antifa was “a gift to the far right”. In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.

⚡️ WATCH — JUST NOW — 99% white Tennessee House Republicans pass a racist 9-0 map stripping majority Black Memphis of congressional representation

great story. this is a technique (two obvious nos alongside the favored candidate) old enough it's in Yes Minister. honestly I assume it's literally monarchical.

Now a SECOND such incident in the space of 24 hours. A bus passenger arrested in Hackney after alleged Hitler & gas chamber comments to Jews. The suspect reportedly also claimed to have a knife and threatened Jewish passengers on the 254 bus, including children. www.jewishnews.co.uk/bus-passenge...

Wtf, @zdfde.bsky.social ? Seid ihr noch bei Sinnen?

SCOOP: A confidential new CIA analysis delivered to policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least 3 to 4 months before facing more severe economic hardship, a finding that contradicts those hailing an imminent collapse 🧵

This is blowing my mind

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

Gas is $4.56 a gallon Let's check in on what the president is working on today:

How do people like him - lazy, ill-prepared if not outright stupid - get into Yale? How?

I’m laughing that JD Vance has a lower approval rating than Donald Trump. Love this for him. 🤣

JD Vance having issues with his speech in his speech in Iowa

Look at the presentation of JD Vance's speech in Iowa (1) in NYT, (2) in a leading London paper. The latter presents what actually happened. The Times glamorizes Vance, presenting him just as he would want to be presented. One of these is journalism, the other is an exercise in sycophancy.

could you look any guiltier than Lutnick does here?

Sagen wir mal, es gäbe einen selbsterklärten Finanzexperten in einer vorgeblich christlichen Partei. Nehmen wir darüber hinaus an, dieser "Christ" möchte Gesundheitsleistungen für Bürgergeldempfänger einschränken. Wenn ich den dann einen bigotten Heuchler nennte, wäre das doch gerechtfertigt, oder?

How humiliating. I love it.

„Schluss mit Ideologie, Schluss mit Zwang“ sagt Markus Söder zum Ende des alten Heizgesetzes und das ist ein besonders schöner Satz, einen Tag nachdem das Kultusministerium die Hymnenpflicht an bayerischen Schulen zementiert hat.

“The CDC spent years warning the world that cruise ships are floating outbreak incubators. Then, last year, the Trump administration gutted the very team designed to stop those outbreaks from spiraling out of control.“

During a recent focus group of 20 Gen Z Republicans conducted by a conservative think tank, a subset of participants were asked to share their thoughts on Hitler. Only one responded with outright criticism. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/oYuJBh

DAWKINS: You idiots believe in God? ALSO DAWKINS: The Computer is alive. And it’s also my girlfriend

Someone like, oh, Jeffrey Epstein?

Day 525 of nonstop protests in Georgia.

Klar, negative Schlagzeilen wie das AfD-Fest in Schönebeck bringen Klicks. Aber journalistischer/aktivistischer Anspruch heißt auch, über das zu berichten, was dem etwas entgegensetzt - wie den CSD am nächsten Tag in Dessau-Roßlau. Auch das ist Sachsen-Anhalt und das Gegenteil von rechter Einfalt.

Manchmal frage ich mich wirklich: Wozu das alles eigentlich noch? Wird es irgendwann mal möglich sein, Sachsen-Anhalt nicht nur über rechte Aufmärsche und Familienfeste zu definieren? Oder übersieht man uns einfach bewusst?

“The suit, filed by actor Q’orianka Kilcher, alleges that Cameron ‘extracted her facial features’ and ‘directed his design team’ to base the key Avatar character Neytiri on her appearance after seeing her in an LA Times advert for Terrence Malick’s 2005 film The New World.”

"Federal agents are conducting a raid at the office of L. Louise Lucas, a Democrat who serves as Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore." Lucas, one of Virginia's most powerful lawmakers, was at the forefront of the state's redistricting fight

"Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could." If Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby had a conscience they would apologize and withdraw from public life. But, of course, they don't.

Hier nochmal die Grafik als Vollbild. Seit der Machtübernahme durch Tump explodieren die Vermögen von Musk, Thiel und Trump selbst natürlich auch. Zu den AfD-nahen Vermögen ein neuer Podcast von mir mit dem Kanal 'Gegen die AfD' als Interviewpartner. andreaskemper.org/2026/05/06/e...

This week, Donald Trump asked a child, "You think you could take me in a fight?" So we at @today.yougov.com obviously polled Americans on the topic. Our results:

Actually pretty illuminating that Republicans have built an image of Trump in their heads where he's shaped like Rambo and everybody else in the country realizes he's a feeble old man who exclusively eats fast food.

Now Trump is announcing peace and war in the same statement. It’s completely incoherent batshit lunacy.

Trump attacks the Pope - again: "The Pope would rather talk about the fact that it's OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon." "I don't think that's very good." "I think he's endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people."

The GOP has not flipped a legislative seat in any state since 2024. Democrats, meanwhile, have flipped 5 seats so far in 2026. And that's after flipping 25 in 2025 (which was 21% of all GOP-held seats in play), as you'll recall: boltsmag.org/legislative-...
