Another beautiful Easter message from the President who loves Jesus with all his heart and soul.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

$1.5T defense budget $170B on ICE & Border Patrol $100B on tax cuts for the 1% $20B from Treasury for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $300M on Kristi Noem's jets $100M+ for Trump to golf $75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran? Priorities.

The glee with which some of those in the Whitehouse are conducting this war is horrific.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

What a beautiful day on campus for a trial run of our new flags! 😍🌸🌞 #WeAreTheUniversity

A war is where you get people replace by stone monuments (if they are lucky).

War is a lose/lose equation.

The Board of Peace is a Crock of Shit

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

What about spending money on peace?

If climate change isn't real, why is the US concerned about national security because of the melting of Arctic ice?

MPs back plan to release Mandelson files after Labour anger forces climbdown. Remember our ‘friends’ in the USA knew Mandelson was compromised. If this had happened with Russia the PM would have resigned by now.

In response to the news that @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social has cut ties with Senator George J. Mitchell, following new information that suggests he remained in contact with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, we have released the following statement. 1/5

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469. Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by. It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

There is a strong political strain in the US that hates the welfare state in Europe. We should defend our people by keeping them healthy not sustaining military bases around the world.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Kash Patel, Director of the FBI, finishes with a message to Charlie Kirk: ‘see you in Valhalla’. The United States is so deep in a sort of violent cult, it’s difficult to see if they can get out.

Anti-Islamic biker gang members run security at deadly Gaza aid sites www.bbc.com/news/article... I read this with utter disbelief. But maybe I should stop being so surprised.

It’s time to use the f-word. Trumpism is fascism. The essence of fascism is in place. See the list 👇 All that’s needed to complete the fascist ascent are; - territorial aggression - the concentration of power in one individual or tight cabal. And these are emerging by the day

It seems to me that most world leaders have not got a clue how to build peace. And for those who think we need to learn history so we do not make the mistakes of the past, well, I think that theory is blown to bits.

The USA is getting exactly what it voted for, not a government but a soap opera.

Please pass this along to anyone who might want to be me for a year. hrwebapp.qub.ac.uk/tlive_webrec...

It is worrying that there are very few people on the media questioning the idea that war is inevitable. No one seems to think about deescalation.

Best worst season ever.

Oxford English dictionary definition of the word holocaust: 'The complete destruction of something (esp. a large number of people); a mass slaughter, a massacre.'

Very taken by Dan Hicks argument that we should stop using the term ‘post’-colonial since Colonialism clearly is not over.

youtu.be/GqP4zwbZxoU?... everyone should listen to this. No one will be able to claim they didn’t know it was happening. It will be our duty to hold the military and politicians of Israel and our own countries to account.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Utterly predictable to anyone who knows the history of British forces in Northern Ireland. In Iraq and Afghanistan the role of Australian and US forces were no better. This is one of the reasons millions of us protested about these wars.
