Two things can be true at once... The police have no role at a kids sports coaching session. None. A kid hogging the ball and not following coach's instructions needs to be benched.

Algebra, numbers, principles of optics, medical encyclopedias, astronomy, hospitals, surgical tools, universities, coffee, lab chemistry--all of Arabic origin. This mfer had a brain worm, collects road kills, sounds like a dial up modem, works out in jeans. This is a uniquely American arrogance.

Dude needs to read about 9th C Persia. Baghdad House of Wisdom. Al Khwarizmi and Al Kindi. Etc

American bosses don't give a shit about you. This is "respect your abuser" shit

As a former “boss” I have to say, I would never ask my employees to put me or my needs first outside of the workplace environment. Always family first! Always!! My god, what drugs have they got these people on?!

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

The flag of Palestine, a state recognised in law by the UK under Kier Starmer, is no more the colours of Hamas than the Saudi Arabia flag is the colours of the 9/11 hijackers.

I give it two weeks before the world’s most poisonous media outlets start hounding fuck out of named, individual teachers. They can’t stop the public recognising crimes against humanity, but they can deliver truckloads of grief to members of the public pour encourager les autres.

Trans people are "poor deluded freaks" now, according to multi-millionaire "rationalist" Richard Dawkins. Always punching down, these rich bastards. Never using their platform to lift up the oppressed, the marginalised.

Richard Dawkins is fighting elitism (TM). So is Julie Bindel.

Parcel service: "We now send you live updates on your parcel delivery with 5 emails, 2 texts and 3 push notifications, isn't that great?" me: "No" Parcel service: "We hear ya! We'll up the texts to 5, and then call you as well. And also tweet about it. You can opt out by not buying anything."

Well done, racists, well done. You've successfully taken us back to the 70s when "p***-bashing" and "queer-bashing" was commonplace. Superb effort. Hope you're happy.

Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "They want to exact retribution on the Trump administration every hour of every day for the next two years"

Yeah because as long as "our DOGE guy" eviscerates our hard won civil rights and consumer protections *while wearing a grey suit* we'll all be happy.

This is what a Labour PR told Andrew Marr at the time, who was very impressed by it.

So you're telling me that AGAIN a serving police officer was known, within the force, by the nickname RAPEY. Known as a rapist for years. Again. (like Carrick, like Couzens...) Jail, for the whole damn force. Disband Devon and Cornwall Police and start again. 😡🤬

HJA Civil Liberties@hjacivillibs.bsky.social

Devon and Cornwall police, which is alleged to have promoted and protected male officers despite knowing they were accused of domestic abuse, has formally apologised and paid compensation to nine women www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Rooney needs to slap that genocide apologist's grin off his fat face with a lawsuit for defamation. I will contribute to her crowdfunder. Boulton is a sleazebag.

Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social

Adam Boulton: "she, in common with a lot of people in Ireland is taking a very strong pro Palestine & I have to say anti Israel & anti Jewish stance" Adam, can you provide evidence that Sally Rooney is taking an anti Jewish stance? Or are you, in fact, lying to smear critics of Israel?

TIL that HSBC claims to run a Halal investment fund. A bit like an animal testing cosmetics company selling a range of "cruelty-free" cosmetics.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Fucking fascists. Where is the warrant? Where is the grand jury transcript? What charges were filed? (I know the answers, none, none and none)

Federal ICE agents raided Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home before dawn this morning. The Trump DOJ confirms agents executed a search warrant as part of a criminal investigation reportedly involving immigration paperwork completed by Omar’s late father when she was a CHILD. 1/

Yet again, felon45's electioneering lies are printed in @theguardian.com aa gospel, not a flicker of skepticism or basic journalistic practices. Russia doesn't have enough diesel for its own needs, it won't be selling any to the US. Also this is illegal because of sanctions. And immoral. Do better
