#SaveOurNHS We can’t let this govt or any other one sell it off piecemeal to private companies! We must fight to save it & enhance value of the staff who work there. From care staff & GPs, from doctors, nurses & technicians to support staff. They’re all important!🤔

“POTUS is clearly furious,” said a person close to the White House, who was granted anonymity to discuss the mood inside the West Wing. “It’s the first time I’ve seen them sort of paralyzed.”

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

The main reasons why Labour did badly on Thursday: -Means-testing the WFA -Talking of cutting disability benefits -Copying right-wing narratives on immigration and benefits, instead of challenging those narratives -Tying themselves to fiscal rules that make it hard to improve people’s lives

We all recognise smoking kills , that's why tobacco ads were banned in 2002 . Fossil fuels kill too & according to a study in BMJ , cause 5.1 million deaths per year . Help me ban fossil fuel ads for good– sign my petition to force a Parliamentary debate govpetition.uk/700024

These farmers who voted for Trump can’t blame anyone but themselves.

Are you effing kidding @cnn.com How about "After a week of disastrous losses due to his unhinged tariffs, Trump backed down and US markets finally regained some of the trillions he cost the American people" Jesus, learn how to write a social media post

"Just trust Trump" is the only plan they have for you.

Proud to be supporting this @yesforeu.bsky.social initiative and looking forward to seeing some old pals in Brussels this week. Independence in Europe will go a long way to fixing Scotlands problems 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 www.thenational.scot/news/2507020...

🇺🇸 Small businesses posting that they’re getting clobbered by Trump’s tariffs as he lies about who is paying for them (It isn’t China, it’s businesses that import anything from China)

Trump's big fat bumbling incompetent incredibly stupid utterly lawless attempt at destruction of our government is losing in court "The whole enterprise is beginning to show cracks of excess and madness that are getting wider seemingly by the day." Let's hope he's right. Good read as always!

For those that don’t know what a starter pack is, it’s a list of people that have been vetted, in this case, blue resisters. You can follow all and they will follow back because we aren’t doing this for the likes. We are fighting for democracy. go.bsky.app/2R1VCMq

Was there any doubt with the general public that it was, if you scratch my back I will scratch yours? bylinetimes.com/2025/03/21/c...

So many people in America and around the world are looking on in horror at what the Trump administration is doing. But for MAGAs, this what they voted for. They are cheering on every cruel, racist, ignorant act of Trump's administration - just as long as it doesn't happen to them!

May I suggest that the Democratic Party look to Matt Drudge for messaging advice.

Russia hit the center of Dobropillya,Donetsk region, with 2 ballistic missiles late last night When the emergency services arrived on site,another missile was launched at them 11 people are dead,30 more injured.8 buildings were damaged This is how Russians “liberate” Ukraine.Terror,plain& simple

The pasty muskrat can’t afford to keep losing $102 billion every 2 months but it will serve him right if he does. The same glee he has firing folks in our federal government, is the same glee I have watching his wealth dwindle. #Voices4Victory #SheShed www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-we...

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to make you believe that they are cutting “waste,” but they’re actually reaching into your wallet to fund tax cuts for their “rich as hell” friends. Spread the word.

Trump has ordered massive swathes of US national forests to be cut down. Hundreds of millions of acres of trees will be razed and endangered species will not be protected.

BREAKING - Trump just said he doubts whether France or other NATO members would help America if we needed it. WRONG. The Article 5 mutual defense obligation has been invoked only ONCE in the 75 years of NATO. To help America. After 9/11. And our allies answered the call.

What in the world is going through Starmer's head? Labour keep trotting out the "world has changed" line to excuse other unpalatable decisions, but magically Brexit - and only Brexit - is sacrosanct? Absolutely asinine heel-dragging. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

•••BREAKING ••• A second federal judge has indefinitely blocked Trump’s sweeping freeze on federal grants and loans, saying the administration “put itself above Congress.” “The Executive’s categorical freeze of appropriated and obligated funds fundamentally undermines…

What a front cover...

Matt Frei right up at Republican Greg Swenson on Channel 4 News: "So it looks like your mafia style extortion is working". And then handing over to Kira Rudik, Ukrainian MP, to question him directly - which she does, forcefully and robustly. Excellent from Channel 4 News.

We need to talk about Trump’s threat to defund universities unless they arrest and expel protesters. We’re watching classic fascistic institutional capture in real time and if this continues unabated we’re going to look up and live in a world without escape. The time to fight is now.

BREAKING: Ontario’s terminating its $100-million deal with Starlink, and US companies will be barred from future contracts. They warned NY, Michigan, and Minnesota if the tariffs persist, Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity and may cut off the supply entirely.

Trump says his proposed minerals deal for Ukraine is a security guarantee, because the presence of US civilian workers in Ukraine will discourage Russia from invading. This is nonsense. If Russia invades Ukraine again (very likely in that scenario), the US will just evacuate its civilians.

NEW in Unburdened: "Nowhere in the Constitution is the President granted the power to ban protests, arrest protestors, or otherwise limit the ability of people to freely assemble. None of this, of course, will prevent Trump from attempting to do so." open.substack.com/pub/prolib/p...

Increasingly the only Q is how bad do things need to get before some GOP reps/senators crack. The answer might be never, and it's certainly a lot worse than now, but usually even the most supine, pathetic, people have a breaking point.

"20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years" JD Vance's comments and this picture coming to an election leaflet near you soon

"Some random country that hasn't fought a war in 40 years..." Over 500 dead British and French personnel (more than 1,000 total European fatalities) and c10,000 injured in Afghanistan 2001-2021. The only time Article 5 has been invoked. 'Disrespect' does not reside in lack of a suit, Mr Vance. ~AA

Repost if you agree!

Catherine and her cat from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat. P.S. Sorry she didn't wear a suit.

Blimey, the Mail. Morning.

Vermont understood the assignment. Take notes, America.

What happened to Little Marco?

“Women are too emotional to lead or hold the nuclear codes!” Meanwhile: man melts down in Oval Office turned reality show; berates others, raves wildly about WW3.

Don’t give up! Get loud!

Titanic paper from @andrewduffeu.bsky.social, which I missed at the time While there may be some stuff to quibble about, and some of this will be hard reading for Europeans, as well as for some in the UK, as a whole this is what needs to be said. This should be the focus for join. A reaction 🧵

Lauren Boebert is so dumb she could throw herself on the ground and miss.
