Bernie Sanders' speech - utterly superb! Well worth watching on catch-up if you missed the start… www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTHn... #Sanders #Bernie #BernieSanders #USA #Politics

A lengthy article, but well-written and with notable insights. It's easy to see how the era of stupidity could lead to something akin to the Idiocracy mentioned! www.theguardian.com/news/2025/oc... #Trump #MAGA #Stupidity #AntiTrump

Trump tried to silence Kimmel and ended up boosting him instead, as the late-night host’s return broke viewership records and went viral. At the same time, Adelita Grijalva picked up another key victory for Democrats, building momentum in Congress. Talk about a good week!

This captures much of the frustration of today.

Actually leaving MAGA is a thing - & should be shared widely to help others who might want to follow suit... www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXQa... #MAGA

The orange buffoon is not only a bully, but the perfect cliche of the cowardly bully. Using vitriol & brazen threats, he tries to crush the voices of criticism - because he is a quivering craven coward in the face of those who would expose the truth. Deep down, he knows what he is. #Trump #Coward

Worth listening through, with James O'Brien is on point as usual... Kimmel makes a joke, based on Trump's own crassness, & gets fired. Fox News host says homeless people should be murdered - & no one bats an eye. Insanity! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV_S... #Trump #FreeSpeech #Kimmel #Kilmede #LBC

If you're not watching this tonight, watch it on catch-up. But watch it. If for no other reason than to piss off the orange turd, at least in your head. Entertaining? Defo! Important? Very. Now share to all the dumb MF's who actually believe his bile! www.channel4.com/press/news/c... #Trump

It's not radical socialism to simply want these things, & to tax the super-rich & huge corporations more to pay for them. It makes obvious sense. But the super-rich own the media & control the narrative, so what do you think they are doing to protect their interests? #taxtherich

Let's get BIG MONEY **out** of politics! Before it's too late... #Politics #Corruption #Democracy

Can we teach how to spot fake news to... well, everyone? Used to think it should be taught in schools, but it's too late for just that - let's enrol everyone & wake people the F up! #MediaLies #Truth #CriticalThinking #Education

Here's something we need: ** LIVE FACT CHECKING ** On all televised political debates from now on. By independent, non-partisan, professional fact-checkers. AS STANDARD! Who's with me?? #Truth #Lies #Misinformation #Facts #FactChecking #Politics

There's only one thing I want to post today: #TAXTHERICH !! And maybe stop blaming everything & everyone else until they've PAID! 🤔

Well said - people need to stand up to Trump & support each other in doing so everywhere. This is a testing time, & America *needs* to PASS! #Trump #Democracy #Midterms

Taxing the super-rich, both individuals & mega-corporations, is one of the single most important & useful things we could possibly do, positively affecting so much else. Let's figure out the best ways, and just damn well DO IT!!! #TaxTheRich #WealthTax #Inequality #Taxation #Politics

Just astonishing! Reform UK supporters caught out... (brilliant trolling though) #ReformUK #Farage #TruthAboutReform

How Spain put up wealth taxes - without chasing away the billionaires. Yet the 'don't tax the rich' brigade constantly scare people. Wealth tax isn't just about revenued. It reduces inequalities, capacity of the rich to bribe, pollute, hijack democracy, hold governments to ransom.

Trump as Putin's puppet. And also a muppet. Either way, was any of it even slightly unpredictable?? Orange traitor... youtube.com/shorts/q8hlz... #Trump #Putin #Alaska #Ukraine #Russia #USA

Superb in-depth interview with Anna Applebaum! The closing remarks make the whole thing worth watching to the end - great advice that we really need to act upon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm_R... #Applebaum #Trump #USA #MAGA #politics

When the truth is denied while video footage confirms it right in front of their eyes... #MAGA is a cult! www.youtube.com/watch?v=URTH... #Truth #Lies #Trump

Reminder: he is just as delusional as we all think, maybe even more.

Superb excoriating attack on policies with no logical grounds here by Femi, over the subject of Brexit! Can you find a single fault with anything he says?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrf1... #Brexit #Labour #SingleMarket #Rejoin #EU

Another brilliant move by @femi-oluwole.bsky.social Calling out the slimy Farage & his slippery 'solutions'... Why do we think LBC/Ferrari don't want informed callers?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1Uc... #Farage #LBC #Brexit #Lies #Truth #Politics

If #America’s global reputation was hanging by a thread before #Trump, isn’t it now in ruins—and more urgently, is #democracy itself still holding up as even the 'least bad' system of government? www.youtube.com/shorts/QqW3J...

And you thoughts the *sewage* was utterly disgusting!? #Water #Criminals

The rich don’t get rich by working harder. They get rich because the tax system is designed to reward wealth, not work. This article explains how – and what we could do instead. Based on a blog post by Prof Richard Murphy. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

And expect that number to shrink further. No matter how much the government, major parties, or tabloid press push “Brexit benefits…” People know Brexit doesn’t. Brexit leaves the UK in a structurally weaker position, bleeding money, time, efficiency and opportunity daily.

Foreign billionaires circumvent laws and pump millions into British politics. Unincorporated associations, shell companies, companies controlled from abroad used. The aim: produce govts subservient to corporations and the rich. End corruption. Give democracy a chance. Ban all political donations.

Was Thatcher naive when privatising Water, or did the #Tories intend this catastrophic combination of theft & environmental vandalism, justified in their narrow minds by shareholder enrichment? The lack of competition/choice could be a clue... #water

“this £85 billion represents a direct transfer of value from the public to private owners — a sum extracted while storm overflows proliferated, leakage targets were missed, and river health declined”

Excellent measures, especially the move towards stopping foreign political donations, which should absolutely be banned. Let's hope Labour ate bold enough to carry these through boldly & sufficiently! #democracy #voting #politicaldonations #Labour
