A detail everyone is ignoring or forgetting. Peter Mandelson masterminded Keir Starmer's reshuffle days before the scandal broke. That is, while he was the US Ambassador. This seems like quite an important detail!

You have to be extremely stupid to be this smug and sneering at peasants. Old ruling classes knew better than to publicly reveal their contempt for us

The phrase "cartoonishly evil" gets thrown around a lot these days. And it should be again here.

Let's call this policy what this is. It's socialism. It's Leftism. And it's curing actual ills. Righting institutional wrongs. It's not coming from someone who is infallible, or someone who is always correct. It's coming from someone who promised to help and is trying to keep those promises.

she has to resign this is not funny, *especially* if you are the fucking Home Secretary, with the actual fucking power to unilaterally deprive *anyone* of citizenship

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.

Mmm yes, what kind of idiots could ever believe this stuff was going to be a big hit

Where do we even start?

Keir Starmer is a remarkably unlucky guy when it comes to how many of the people he tries to get cushy jobs for turn out to be friends with paedophiles.

Is the dam breaking?

Reuters/Ipsos poll: Just 36% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance Only 26% said they consider Trump "even-tempered" 51% of Americans - including 14% of Republicans, 54% of independents and 85% of Democrats - said Trump's mental sharpness had gotten "worse" over the past year

Re-elect Sen. Jon Ossoff, Georgia. And push out the Senate GOP majority, America. Think how things would change.

The United States will ban individuals accused of promoting antisemitism from attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup. - US antisemitism envoy Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun Well that's pretty much everyone. But we weren't going anyway. BOYCOTT the US World Cup.

Met so many hopeful people today in Hackney on a walkabout with their next Mayor, @zoegarbett.bsky.social. People repeatedly telling us how excited they are to vote Green! And just finished an international press conference telling the world about our plans to end Rip Off Britain.

GOOD TO KNOW: As California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra sued Donald Trump to stop family separation during his first term. As HHS Secretary, he rolled out programs to reunite unaccompanied children with their families. 1/2

When Trump talked about ushering in a "new golden age," he was talking about a new golden age for his family's pocketbook.

It has taken over five years of murderous chaos for Republican voters to start to see what was obvious all along: that Donald Trump should not be trusted with a box of matches, let alone the most powerful office on Earth. That's the power of propaganda for you.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

I would like a Cat colossus on each side of the narrowest point, staring downwards with a judging scowl www.threads.com/@puretuts/po...

A budget is a declaration of priorities. Trump has made clear that you and your family aren't one of his.

Keir Starmer should go immediately... ...to the shops to buy me some cat treats.

There are, at least, tens of thousands of people in the UK alone who would still have someone they loved with them if it wasn't for selfish/contrarian fuckwits ignoring the public health advice at the time. Denial while it was happening killed people, and denial now makes us less prepared in future.

Many of us lost loved ones to Covid and many of us struggled with the virus when we caught it. People claiming it was a "staged event" are dangerous conspiracy theorists who don't care at all about the victims of that terrible event. The idea they're standing as representatives is horrific.

In the months leading up to the midterm elections, hundreds of accounts have emerged on social media featuring A.I.-generated pro-Trump influencers posting at a rapid pace. Several accounts have already amassed thousands followers. Some of the posts have more than half a million views.

Americans, I can recommend the "Byline Times", it's 🐂💩 free.

I believe the correct terminology is coup …

repeat after me: an AI system does NOT and CANNOT seek power. it CANNOT seek, want, & desire anything more than your toaster can. people in positions of power use AI to seek, assert, consolidate, and centralise power
