Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but maybe just maybe, bragging about kicking people off food stamps while telling them to pay for a billion dollar ballroom at the same time is a losing electoral strategy. But what do I know.

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

So in case anybody’s counting, today Donald Trump called not one, but two female reporters “stupid.” He is going to continue to do this. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody fucking stops him.

He had absolutely no business being appointed to that position. Senators who voted for him are partially responsible.

True - they shouldn't be so happy ;-) nor should we trust the numbers :-) Given that they have made it public, the real "happiness" number is likely lower. (Also, we don't know how the questions were framed) I like the "fact" that numbers are going down ;-)

Ty Chris! Yeah, they are not happy: (2nd message has even better news than the 1st ;-) ) bsky.app/profile/madr...

1/ The Russian government's Internet shutdown from 5th to 9th May appears to have been predictably badly implemented. It seems to have spilled out from Moscow across Russia and also affected SMS and phone calls, causing widespread disruption and public anger. ⬇️

Trump and Hegseth continue to lie to the American people and hide the truth. Thank God for journalism or all we would have is regime lies.

U.S. intelligence says Iran remains far stronger than Trump claimed. Classified assessments show Iran has restored access to 30 of 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz and retains roughly 70% of its missile launchers and stockpile, per NYT.

Still on matters Stateside - particularly for those "patriotic" MAGA types. Why is Trump refusing to help protect US industries in Ukraine, which claim now they are being deliberately targeted by Russia, according to the NY Times.

They have such a dark plan for the country. Chaos and violence to be the norm.

NEW: The Trump Administration is quietly rewriting federal gun regulations to create the legal framework for an “Amazon for Guns” — and Donald Trump Jr. could profit from it.

The @ec.europa.eu is PROUD🌈 Pride week is a celebration of love, identity, courage and community. And every day of the year, we work hard to make Europe a space where everyone can live freely, openly, authentically.

My latest Guardian piece. Plaid won 35.4% of the vote last week while Starmer’s Labour picked up 33.7% of the 2024 GE. Yet Starmer has 63% of the seats in Westminster while ap Iorwerth has 45% of the seats in Wales. Electoral systems matter. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trumps’ US has social media screening for visa applications, requiring individuals make accounts public for review by the State Department. They search for content the Trump administration deems “anti-American” or “antisemitic.” on visitors’ devices at ports of entry. Why single out antisemitic??

Rep. Stansbury: "This administration is choosing to not investigate the crimes that are in these files. The administration is choosing to release the names of survivors and not perpetrators…The administration is trying to gaslight the American people."

The Death was Way Too Convenient….

You know who’s not in the Epstein files? Barack fuckin’ Obama!

It's a valid point.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

These people are morons.

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

Netanyahu’s governing coalition may collapse next week after one of his key ultra-Orthodox partners called for parliament to be dissolved. Israeli media report new elections could follow after Netanyahu refused to exempt ultra-Orthodox Israelis from military service. www.npr.org/2026/05/12/g...

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

​Corporate media and their paid propagandist's have determined that dictatorship is more profitable than democracy. ​ First rule of Trump Club: He always lies. Second rule of Trump Club: His supporters always lie. Third rule of Trump Club: The media amplifies the lies.

So if redistricting helps white Republicans, it's okay, but if it helps minorities or Democrats, it's unconstitutional. Got it. www.cnn.com/2026/05/11/p...

SOUTH CAROLINA — @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social: “Why is it when you have a 75% white district that’s not racial, but you have a 45% Black district that is racial? There’s no way the numbers bear this out… I never thought I’d see the day the Supreme Court would be so openly partisan.”

Prices are up on gas, groceries, rent, utilities, health care, and just about everything else. Shit’s too expensive and workers’ wages aren’t keeping up. America’s unions worry about this 24/7. Our President of the United States should, too.

A protester interrupted Israel's performance at #Eurovision by chanting "STOP, STOP, THE GENOCIDE!". What a pair of lungs. What a fucking legend.

Even as he was being dragged away by #Eurovision security he was still chanting "STOP THE GENOCIDE!". He also has "FREE PALESTINE" written across his chest and back, knowing he would be filmed. I think I'm in love.

Billionaires shouldn't exist in any decent society and any decent businessperson should believe this too.

Here in the UK it would cost me $132 to fill up my VW Golf Mk 7 (2015), thanks to the fool in the White House.
