I once read somewhere: “If one person calls you an ass, they’re probably an ass. If everyone calls you an ass - you’re an ass”.

In other words: The poorest 90% of Americans are being exploited and exhausted to fund the fancies of the wealthiest 10%.

I knew #BBCRADIO4 was out of touch, but a whole hour of “poor me” from landlords that can only have 2 instead of 3 spare houses, and are horrified at having to pay some NI on their lazy income - when the rest of us have been paying NI forever and seen house prices more than triple in our lifetime.

When I wrote this in January, people said I was an alarmist. Today, the New York Times reported that “Senior officials in the federal government have taken over a conservative media entity to talk about a crackdown on anti-conservative thought and speech.” Yes, a crackdown on thought and speech.

The weakness in America has caused this.

The level of corruption from the Trump Crime Family is breathtaking. Trump’s crypto firm received $2 billion from the United Arab Emirates in May. Two weeks later, the White House agreed to give the U.A.E. access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced computer chips.

"There's no difference between the 2 major parties," said a person with their entire finger up their nostril, fingertip feeling the slight breeze from the air circulating through their empty skull

Looks like they’re going to dismantle the GOP guys.

If they were positively identified, why were the not arrested? This is so clearly illegal..where the hell are your leaders?

This makes pantomime illegal? Jesus Christ. “Free Speech absolutionist party of small government” Dangerous. Vicious. Very clearly - not hyperbole - fascist.

REPORT: The Haddonfield Police Department has confirmed that any residents who speak ill of Michael Myers on social media will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

Yeah. Amazing how this bombshell has gone largely under the radar. And it includes plenty of frontline clinical staff, too. We ALREADY have c100,000 staff vacancies. But apparently problems in the NHS are the fault of striking workers. Bonkers.

Israel has systematically bombed homes, residential towers, hospitals, and shelters in Gaza City, killing dozens of Palestinians and forcibly displacing thousands of others. This is what Israel has done in the past 24 hours alone.

So not surprising that the people who fetishize assault rifles kill more Americans than those who don't.

It's very worth noting that these are the conditions *all* detainees are held in. Not just the "dangerous criminals" who make up a tiny fraction. ICE attracts people who despise immigrants, and the cruelty is the point.

This is how the US now treats its friends.

This is a sensible take. Wealth inequality has SKYROCKETED in my lifetime. Tax 👏 the 👏 ultra 👏 rich

Has anyone else noticed how all of these angry Yob “I gut no GCsE” types are all really rather short? I wonder if that’s what makes them so angry and hateful. Isn’t Yaxley something like 5ft 6?

When someone shows you who they are…believe them.

Do you remember when he wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico it felt offensively dumb foolish and outrageous and now that seems like years ago and a sign of more innocent times?

Couldn’t agree more.

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump wants to rig the 2026 election, by rigging the maps. I went on MSNBC with Nicolle Wallace to discuss how we're fighting the Republican-led gerrymandering efforts in Missouri and I explain to you how we are fighting around the country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzNV...

therecount For the second time in three weeks, the DOJ has dropped charges against a client represented by Pam Bondi's brother. Brad Bondi’s winning streak is raising eyebrows over possible conflicts of interest — although the DOJ insists Pam Bondi had “no role” in the decisions.

Spencer, My dude, you lead a state that condones the enslavement of women and children, that fully cooperated with a half-billion dollar scam, that has allowed a vertically integrated polygamist money laundry to operate for most of a century, that has a kidnapping, child abuse & murder problem.

Hi! I was homeless. That's me he wants to kill. If you don't know me, hi, I am pretty nice, I think. I'm a privacy lawyer. I drive a cute yellow Bronco. I do art. I have two really fluffy Maine coon cats. I volunteer at food banks when I can. This guy would have killed me for being homeless.

With alt-text and the headline fixed.

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

“Free speech absolutism” “Free speech for us only” “Doxx serving military because they accurately quoted (and nothing else) an unpleasant person that was sadly killed. What happened to your first amendment?

Voters in red states have recently passed ballot measures securing paid sick leave, abortion access, higher wages, & more. Just this year, Republican state legislators advanced 148 bills undermining ballot measures. We must defend our democracy from statehouses to the White House.

Aren’t many homeless people veterans in the US?

So Musk is now Doxxing people?

Writing and publishing shouldn’t be the hardest part of science Goal #1 of A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing: make the path from idea → manuscript → acceptance simpler #AcWri #PhDChat #SciComm 🧪🌐

Another dangerous Bluesky leftist! Oh wait, he's a far right criminal, doesn't fit the narrative

So a TV commentator telling the truth about Kirk is fired immediately, but a TV host suggesting we should just kill all unhoused people gets to keep his job. Did I get it right?

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Bombshell NEW reporting from Bloomberg exposes Ghislaine Maxwell’s LIES about the extent of her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. I break down this trove of new information and why this underscores the importance of the release of the *entirety* of the Epstein Files. youtu.be/-YXrUwYIcJs?...

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

Not certain how obvious this is to non-Brits, but every single person pictured at far-right marches in England looks like somebody you would cross the road to avoid on a Friday night, especially if they were in a group.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law. These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

Fox host Brian Kilmeade suggests "involuntary lethal injection" for people with mental health issues that are refusing treatment. I'm sure some people claiming to not see where this is all headed are really, really stupid. But most are just waiting for the right moment to show their new boots.

That's right! And here's the call, that exposed them all. No Justice bsky.app/profile/chri...

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

They are literally talking about kiIIing homeless people by lethal injection on Fox News.

They have the United States MILITARY carrying that man’s casket for processing off Air Force 2. Motherfucker served not ONE day in the military. He was a podcaster. Racism is POWERFUL

A ballot measure in California will ask voters if they OK a new congressional map. In a sign of how rare the proposal is, it specifically cites Texas Republicans' new districts in the measure's title.

Free speech update...

reminder that charlie kirk’s smug response to a black child saying he wouldn’t be here without the civil rights act was “exactly”
