JUST A FACT: Donald Trump has been president for 2% of American history — yet has created over 25% of the American debt… Such a busy guy. Big Loser.

🔴PAY ATTENTION: The Governor of Louisiana is declaring an emergency to cancel an ongoing election so that his party can rig the rules moving forward. This is not just about redistricting... www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Why are people surprised? It's a rigged game. www.ms.now/news/news-an...

Israel kidnapped hundreds of people from the Global Sumud Flotilla this morning. They were in Crete 1,000km from Israel. But despite this being international Piracy and Kidnapping and being a gross violation of International Law. Nobody has even mentioned it.

Left: Reform UK's Zia Yusuf on #BBCQT "The levels of antisemitism now are intolerable" Right: Peter Ettedgui a former Jewish schoolmate, "Nigel Farage would regularly come up to me and say Hitler was right"

This. Thread.

Racism is over says the Supreme Court, which you can tell because it took literally a matter of minutes after they gutted the Voting Rights Act for Republicans in the South to start moving to make sure Black people in their states get no representation in Congress

I am thinking of so many conversations with undergrads who were uncomfortable with protests, sit-ins, and other tactics that "inconvenienced" white people, and I would ask them what approach Black Americans should have been using instead. They'd always say "voting" and then the penny dropped.

This is powerful 💪🏾 🔥 Absolute fire from Gary Chambers.

It's time the centre and left realised that they, along with democracy, are facing an existential threat from the far right who have absolutely no regard for reasoned debate, human rights or even the rule of law. This is the 1933 moment of our age. We fight to save democracy or submit to fascism.

Tiny (but not insignificant) update in the bottom right of the Telegraph this morning... The war they cheered on ("Starmer needs to step up on the Strait!") is increasing borrowing costs to a 27 year high. Will result in higher mortgage payments and, yes, TAX HIKES (or cuts to vital servs).

Did you ever flip the channel in the middle of the night, and watch a film with a terrible script, really bad actors, and horrible direction? Now imagine you're getting that when you walk in the door from work. Every night. Don't kick the dog and get drunk when you don't like the movie...

Ed Balls, ex Labour MP, husband of current Labour government minister, and life-long Labour activist, interrogating the leader of a rival political party [Zack Polanski] on a flagship national TV show But sure, nothing questionable, corrupt, or conflicted about that at all, apparently

When you go to the gas station this week, just remember that Trump and Hegseth are having a great time with the war. Big joke.

$25 billion gone, and for what exactly?

Zack Polanski says that as Jewish political leader he will always call out antisemitism But shouldn't conflate antisemitism with criticism of genocide

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

1 in 10 people lost their jobs at Meta last month. The ones who stayed got something worse. Meta installed tracking software on employee work computers. The software records every mouse click. It logs keystrokes. It takes screenshots of their daily work.

The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis—and then called her a “fucking bitch” moments before she died in her car—was only placed on three days of administrative leave and continues to work for the agency in another state. trib.al/C3bEEAM

Putin hosts the Iranian Foreign Minister and gets no criticism at all from Trump. Yet, Trump is constantly blowing up our allies, the latest being Merz. Shocking. Makes you wonder.

It really pisses me off that charlie & camilla are in the US for an official WH state visit w/the orange turd & that thing with a lamp shade on its head. They are normalizing him. They are legitimizing his horrible regime. And it's disgusting. Fucking press is playing right along with it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬😡🤬😡🤬

I think those of us who did not get our Amazon prime subscriptions canceled in Time should all bail on him as soon as they expire. He does not deserve to continue his $0 zero dollar tax benefit at the expense of all of us and all the small businesses that he’s ruining!

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

In case you were wondering if the Dems were going to capitulate to their corporate overlords in a hasty attempt to return to the status quo, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just answered that question.

A free press does not exist to protect presidents from uncomfortable evidence. It exists to put relevant facts before the public. @micyoung75.bsky.social

The greed is sickening. #greed #crime #evil

Mansour Bahrami is one of the most entertaining players the tennis world has ever seen. He can turn any game into pure theater with his outrageous flair, impossible shots, and great showmanship. At 70 years young, Mansour still brings smiles to courts and tennis fans around the world.

This is obscene. Trump orders safe conduct for Alexei Mordashov's $500 mn superyacht, Nord. Mordashov is a key Kremlin henchman who has expanded his fortune building bombs Putin dropped on hospitals and nurseries in Ukraine. He is a war criminal. But Trump just loves him because of his ostentation.

Farage admires and emulates Trump Trump is destroying the US Ergo, If Farage becomes PM, he will destroy the UK

Great question, fortunately it has an easy answer because they've repeatedly been in power in my lifetime The answer is that they'll be great for Wall Street, job growth, world peace, the environment, healthcare, and do exactly none of the things Nazis like Elon fearmonger about

The Oldham coupling, invented in 1821, remains essential in robotics today, ensuring smooth motion between misaligned axes. A true engineering marvel in automation.

Hakeem Jeffries responds to Karoline Leavitt: She wants to lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us.

King Charles’ choice to ignore the Epstein survivors underscores that he punished his brother Andrew, not for victimizing such survivors, but for victimizing Charles by allowing Andrew's behavior to be made public. Such a dreadful inconvenience for the royal family!

Yikes! Fox 5 caught on hot mic talking about the security at the Correspondents Dinner. "They have like two random chicks holding the front door open. Like guys, they're not even trying anymore...they're not even secret service people. It's like the girls who work here are holding the door."

. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it isn’t a ballroom It’s a bunker so he doesn’t have to leave the White House when his term is up. #CONGRESS!!! Get him out of that house now. .

I think this is 100% correct.

Dear Melania, Your husband just literally posted a video of a woman being beat to death in a parking lot. But do go on...

Follow the money. #TrumpCorruption

Met up with Angelika and Nigel who sponsored my event at the last Alderney Literary Festival during their brief visit to the island. Bonzour!

Enfin! Two years in the making and one year of delay but you can call me captain now. Make it so!

3rd “assassination attempt”, 1 illegal war and still no full disclosure of the Epstein Files.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." — FDR

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."
