It is a dark day for freedom of the press. Paramount’s decision to settle with Trump will only embolden him to continue his attack on the media. Trump is undermining our democracy and moving us towards authoritarianism, and the billionaires are helping him do it.

The Met Office are letting us submit our own storm name suggestions: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o... There's space for five names in the submission boxes. Let's go with: Exxon Mobil BP Shell Equinor Chevron At last, those companies will get the recognition they deserve. Pls retweet!

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

There is an issue with flies coming into the house. Normal people: gets flypaper or something. Me:

Democrats cannot complain about Trump’s authoritarianism while ignoring their own constitutional responsibility regarding taking the country to war. Democrats must support Sen. Kaine’s War Powers Resolution. The U.S. must not get involved in Netanyahu’s war.

Republicans want to cut Medicaid, nutrition & education to give a TRILLION dollars in tax breaks to the 1% & large corporations. Now they’re going after Medicare, which would make our broken health care system even worse. Thousands will die unnecessarily. We must stop them.

Israel accused of arming Palestinian gang who allegedly looted aid in Gaza

Makes a change from punching women, I guess.

Too many books? I think what you mean is not enough bookshelves.

I’ve seen the reality of the new Israel-backed ‘aid’ for Gaza. It’s nothing more than a deadly PR stunt | Eyad Amawi

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

“This Would Never Have Happened If I Was President” Trump Says Of Russian Air Strikes On Ukraine Which Killed 13

A new Mission Impossible movie is as good a reason as any to relive that time we were accused of hate speech by the Church of Scientology

Citizens United amounts to legalized bribery – plain and simple.

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza." My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide. zeteo.com/subscribe

In Gaza, hospitals have collapsed. Babies ran out of formula. Clean drinking water is gone. Meanwhile, trucks filled with aid are waiting idle by the border. Instead of trying to do a Gaza real estate deal, Trump should press the Netanyahu government to open aid routes & stop starving Palestinians.

The ex US ambassador to Israel says there are not 2 million innocent civilians in Gaza and the line between civilians and terrorists in Gaza is ‘mostly invisible.’ How is this not openly genocidal rhetoric, and incitement to violence against an entire people?

Prosecutors said Nicole Brown, a police officer in California, falsely said that she wasn’t able to work, while she illegally collected more than $600,000 in workers’ compensation. This week, Brown was charged with 15 felonies related to workers’ compensation insurance fraud.

I am appalled by the killing of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington last night and grateful for the quick response from law enforcement. We must all absolutely condemn this heinous act. Violence must have no place in politics.

Huh. One good thing the nut regime is doing. There is no "right to drink sugar, sugar". Tax it out of existence. Ban it from schools.

Yeah sorry to say but I agree with this. There's nothing good about soda. Soda addiction is bogging down our health care system just as much as smoking does, I'm sure.

The disastrous Republican reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act by $715 billion – throwing 13.7 million Americans off of Medicaid & the health insurance they currently have – in order to give a $1.2 trillion tax break to the top 1%. It must be defeated.

In the richest country in the history of the world, a single parent with two kids spends more than HALF of his or her income on child care. The time is now to FINALLY provide high-quality, affordable child care for all working families.

If. Soil. Dies. We. All. Die. Treating this complex ecosystem like literal dirt is on track to be the deadliest mistake in the history of our species.

Judge Sessions is right. Neither Rumeysa Ozturk or anyone else in America should be in jail for authoring an op-ed critical of Israel, or on any subject. Trump and colleagues should read the Constitution and, especially, the First Amendment. Ozturk must be released immediately.

The presidency really does change a man. Even presidents who weren't even elected.

Israel admits firing at ambulances in Gaza after Palestinians say rescuers missing in Rafah

First they came for the second-home owners, and I did not speak out - because they went to my Pembrokeshire address and I'm never there.
