is the clue in the name "Native Americans"?

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Suspect Starmer will regret not urging people to limit their car use. Feels a bit 2020: Other countries taking action, Britain complacently assuming it'll muddle along

if you don’t like the process of writing then don’t be a fucking writer, it’s not that complicated

Once again, a slow clap for all the people who said Brexit was necessary because the EU was undermining NATO

fascinating to watch Starmer pivot from accepting the "finality" of Brexit to admitting how much economic damage it has done

Almost every woman remembers the first time, because she was a girl, in school uniform, and remembers the worst time. Labour's new law on public sexual harassment: www.gov.uk/government/n...

The thing I can’t forgive America for is that there’s no particular hidden matter with this man. He overtly talks like a rapist and revels in his corruption and thuggery.

This is an extraordinary front page for a British newspaper to run. Donald Trump’s delinquency, derangement & imperilling of international security is somehow a stick with which to beat our own Prime Minister, who has negotiated the current horror show rather well. It is actually sickening.

welfare provides a service. its a safety net, not a trap. the biggest mistake of Universal Credit was thinking that people were not incentivised to work under the old system. they absolutely were. But you need education, training, childcare and guess what, *jobs* to work. And more.

i think the biggest mistake govts make when looking at the welfare system is thinking people who use it are different from people who don't use it. you know how accountants like to tell you about all the shit you can expense as a director or sole trader? (cont.)

One of the finest one and done bands ever. It’s sounds like it was recorded yesterday. If you haven’t heard Neither Washington Nor Moscow you should.

. Just so everyone remembers . . . . .

The country is going to be a literal ruin by the time he’s gone isn’t it? So the republicans in Congress now have to vote for a massive golden ballroom with opaque funding while the economy tanks and they’re at war? Hahahahahahahahaha.

If you're not going to vote Labour over this in May, then make sure the party knows that.Tell the canvassers when they come to your door, write to your local councillor and your MP. The government has U-turned before. It can do so again.

Please read this, understand what the govt is doing & take action. Labour's immigration proposals swap integration for segregation, introduce a Dubai-style Kafala system of coercive employer control & drive low-income families into poverty. They're an abomination. open.substack.com/pub/wewanted...

Have they ordered the red cloaks and bonnets too?

Am not an energy analyst but why does seem every interview with a U.K. minister this week included a pointed question about why not drilling more in North Sea and almost none about renewables/net zero as an energy security imperative? It’s bizarre, frankly

Wow. Career ending in any normal times. "A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/744e...

I hope all those people who said the US had done no planning for war in Iran will now apologise. www.ft.com/content/744e...

*screaming in rage* BUT THAT'S NOT A MINI EGG THEN IS IT

This is bang on point

Is the world really going to have to suffer WW3 because the USA can’t impeach a president?

It cannot be long before Trump’s retinue of sycophants, enablers and justifiers, in government and in the media, start telling us, "I never liked the guy", "I tried to restrain him" and "I was only obeying orders." So be sure to keep the receipts.

Trump spent five minutes of his Cabinet meeting boasting of his thrift with a story about negotiating for $5 personalized Sharpies. The company that makes the permanent markers said the exchange never happened.

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

Glad scientists and doctors are finally investigating women related issues FOR THE FIRST TIME in 2026

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Oil and gas, wherever it comes from, isn’t the solution to any question I can think of, unless the question is how much can I get for saying it is? Aside from those that produce expensive, polluting, war juice, who wouldn’t want cheap energy?

This is positive - and there does seem a shift - but a small climb down isnt enough. The entire proposal - including the asylum changes which are utter immoral madness - need dropping. And the Home Secretary needs to resign. Any credibility is gone given the scale of this misjudgement.

Wow.

I don't understand how the Labour leadership can produce a policy whose effect is 'you are not going to come and study here because if you do you might apply for asylum and we might award it to you because you come from a dangerous country [and one that might punish studying abroad]'.

So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-bb...

This is pure Alan Partridge.

It’s mad how walking home late at night as a woman feels like you won a dare

And just like that my support of Sunderland is over.

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

“The usual suspects” being … the police.

As the police find no evidence whatsoever of illegal family voting or voter coercion in the Gorton and Denton by-election, the BBC should ask themselves why, on the morning of the result, they gave so much airtime to these absurd and obviously racist claims from Nigel Farage

I've done the number crunching and looked at the occupational maps of Labour's 100 most marginal seats. It's all about carers, retail workers, managers, salespeople, logistics, tradespeople, teachers.... And yet our politics of work is about one or two "hero" classes and occupations.

NY Times reports Hegseth just struck 2 Black and 2 female officers from a promotion list — and says Hegseth’s Chief of Staff told the army secretary “Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events” More: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...
