Dissent is treated as terrorism, while terrorism is just state policy. #PalestineAction

🇩🇪 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told Fox News that had Ukraine been accepted into NATO back in 2008, today’s war might have been avoided. He added that only strength brings peace. "If you are weak, you invite aggression, that is why we support Ukraine as long as necessary."

FFS. This Labour Government is such a spineless disappointment. www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/just...

Yes. You were lied to. There were zero benefits to leaving. Only downside. Maybe these gullible people will wise up. Their stupidity has cost us all. Sorry to be blunt. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

David Lammy may have misled parliament over UK arms exports to Israel A new report, 'Exposing UK arms exports to Israel' uses data from the Israel Tax Authority to reveal the scale of what Labour are doing www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

“Reform has reached the tipping point where first-past the-post can aid it. Labour last year won 63% of seats on 34% of votes, Farage could win a majority on puny votes. Electoral reform is now in every party’s interest, and above all, in voters’” Polly Toynbee www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s May the 4th – traditionally the day of Star Wars. But today, let’s check if the Force of Europe is with us. Because our battle is real: for a stronger, reformed Union, free from vetoes, with a directly elected Commission President and a true European defence. 1/2

When you look at the statements that were edited out of Trump’s Meet the Press interview that aired on TV, it is pretty rich that he’s suing 60 Minutes over edits to Harris. These are the parts that weren’t shown on air. meidasnews.com/news/what-tr...

As a senior EU official told me at the IMF Spring meetings: “The EU wants to reposition itself with respect to global trade. We want to make the case for it to our national parliaments. We'll definitely see this with respect to Canada now. Ratification of CETA is now a key goal.”

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

Solar panels to be fitted on all new-build homes in England by 2027 Perfect. Energy security and climate protection all in one. Big oil companies at no different to cigarette companies. They each create a cancer but big oil is truly global cancer.

Very important step taken by France: officially attributing cyber attacks against dozens of FR entities since 2021 to Russia's GRU (it also hacked Macron's campaign emails in 2017) : ministries, defense companies, think tanks etc

Kemi Badenoch keeps calling for inquiries into the rape gangs. I’m just very confused as to why she never thought to look into this important issue herself when she was Minister for Women. #PMQs

Just Trump supporters in another country

If you watch 100 seconds of video on the 100 Days of Trump's hellish second term — pls watch this one of JB Pritzker and pls share it.

A stunning development in Canada: Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre didn’t just lose his bid to become Prime Minister — he lost his own seat in Parliament. Poilievre has officially been defeated in his Carleton riding by Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen took multiple swipes at Donald Trump in a speech that laid bare the increasing antagonism across the Atlantic.

BREXIT LABOUR IS LIVING IN THE PAST. Only 11% of British voters still kid themselves that Brexit’s turned out brilliantly. People want Brexit undone not some messy deal that delivers bugger all. Labour is stone dead unless it gets Brexit undone.

We saw the storm brewing a mile away.

The Trump admin's proposed rule in the Federal Register could turn up to 50,000 civil servants into political appointees. There's a mechanism to fight the proposal, but first you have to notice. Then comment. Our latest, @www.AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-purg...

🇭🇺⚠️ Orbán’s government is being accused of handing more than €1bn in unlawful subsidies to pro-government media, adding to concerns that state support is being used to bolster the Hungarian leader’s grip on power, - FT

JAPAN ECONOMY MINISTER AKAZAWA: NO CHANGE TO OUR STANCE WE ARE DEMANDING FULL REMOVAL OF U.S. TARIFFS

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Stop saying “democrats are failing” because that includes AOC, Frost, Crockett, Booker etc - and they’re NOT failing. Name the people failing you, and don’t let them drag the whole party down with them.

Sleepy Don! It was always a projection.

Every other European nation - particularly Germany - should follow suit. www.lemonde.fr/en/france/ar...

To hear AG Pam Bondi say “No one is above the law,” made me choke on my coffee!

A beautiful day to take a Bill for a ban on biodiversity-destroying pesticide use in urban areas into Parliament! 🌱🐝#GoPesticideFree

This is absolutely brutal

Leadership requires visibility these days. This has always been Starmer's weakness but I am sure it can be addressed. After all, he has truth on his side as opposed to Tory and Farage lies. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Slovakia just passed a law straight out of Putin’s playbook — targeting NGOs and silencing free speech. This is a direct attack on democracy, copied word-for-word from Russia’s oppressive tactics. We cannot accept an EU member state criminalizing dissent and strangling freedom of association. 1/3

Whilst true this is no longer news. Where is the resistance? Time for the nice guys to step up.

Time to give Palantir the Tesla and Target treatment. Make it shameful to work there. Organize rallies at their offices.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
