Do people know that neither of Marco Rubio's parents were American citizens at the time of Rubio's birth? He is in fact a birthright citizenship baby #USDemocracy

Trump is screwing Europe.

'The EU is blocking US efforts to end the conflict..'? 😂 That's exactly typical Russian Crazyland gaslighting the world with nonsense. Everyone recognizes Putin's style of word salad by now. The EU is defending Ukraine's right not to be openly slaughtered in their beds during a "peace" process.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Food Banks 20 years ago you didn't see any, now they are everywhere But why? Because all donations made to Food Banks are tax deductible for the supermarkets, and of course if your staff/benefit claimants rely on Food Banks you can pay less So they have spread like the plague

Israel and its partners continue to wage genocide against the Palestinian people. Those who, so far, have survived the hideous attacks since October 7, 2023, now face ongoing jeopardy.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Ilhan Omar: "When I think about Stephen Miller & his white supremacist rhetoric — it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany—"

We're bringing in trillions in foreign investments.... All to ourselves.

🇬🇧 The supremacist uk government’s utter disrespect for Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism? Odd that.

Clacton, another Friday with no Nigel Farage MP surgery. In fact doesn’t appear to have even visited. #AnywhereButClacton

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic. Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The Constitution is very straightforward on birthright citizenship. There's no ambiguity in the language, no other plausible interpretation. The fact that this is a public discussion at all, and that the Supreme Court is taking it up, is on its own anti-constitutional bullshit. Read the text👇

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES UNREDACTED ASAP

Let me just say something. The idea that in 2025 you should have to volunteer and work for free to provide basic services that should already be provided, in the richest countries in the world, while billionaires become trillionaires. Is poison.

The owner of Reform UK ltd - Farage, has accepted £9m from Thailand resident Harborne. Dubai Dick Tice in 2018 on George Soros donating to UK organisations: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Vote Refuk - get crypto mafia

Wherever the far right goes, there will always be resistance, and Scotland has a long history of it. It is that resistance that has turned out to defend our friends and neighbours from Home Office dawn raids and has taken on the far right in communities across our country, writes Maggie Chapman ✍️

Every American who wore the uniform from Valley Forge to now took an oath against tyranny, making them textbook antifascists. The military's entire purpose is defending democracy from authoritarianism. Declaring antifa "domestic terrorism" means our founding principle is now a prosecutable offense.

Who Nick Ferrari is calling antisemitic: - Ireland, Spain Who Nick Ferrari is NOT calling antisemitic: - Nigel Farage @lbc.co.uk

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Kash Patel: "When you attack our nation's capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life — We will always refute it & combat it" Unless you’re J6 insurrectionist who attacks the capitol — then you receive a pardon & get called a patriot…

The Constitution is the primary consideration. The ONLY thing that should be honored and adhered to.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire. Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines. Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

Actually, the Trump administration, from top to bottom, is the most corrupt and inept administration of all the dictatorships in the world. Blondi Bondi is just their poster child.

Is this the same Cassidy who voted to end ACA subsides? That Cassidy?

Didn’t stop Boris Johnson.

The *only* way Truss has found to cope with her catastrophic public failure is to seek comfort in the deeply deranged and pernicious myths of the far right. She’s now one of their useful idiots. Which allows her to cling on to her self-regard. Back in the real world, she’s just pitied and scorned.

In the US-Those in the media who are sympathetic to those on the right are promoted and get access while those engaged in fair journalistic practices are denied the same. Chris Mason and Robbie Gibb seem to be doing something similar at the BBC in the UK. #r4today

They just don't seem to do numbers or facts very well...

Sick of constant demonisation of migrants on #bbcqt & failed cruelty being the only answer from spineless politicians? Look out for my report launching at 11am with 9 evidence-backed proposals to ACTUALLY fix the immigration system! With @anothereurope.bsky.social & @fesonline.bsky.social 👀👀👀

Not to mention Farage's best #LBC mate, #IainDale, who said on air that he's not friends with people who are not nice when questioned about being fiends with fartface. Nigel Farage = nice ????????? 😂😂😂😂

If the media went after Farage for his actual shithousery like they go after Labour women for trivialities by comparison, then Farage would be finished within a week. Imagine that level of coverage on his racism, regular spewing of Russian propaganda, and Reform councils. #LBC

The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel. China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe aren’t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

1 million streams would net an artist $3k. Wow.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
