A good man has died. Rest in Peace, Bob Mueller.

Robert Mueller, a Vietnam veteran with a bronze star for heroism, and a purple heart has passed away. Perhaps his biggest honor was trying to save our democracy. I REFUSE to let him be a punchline for our deranged president. Robert Mueller was a hero and may he rest in peace and watch over us. Amen.

An armed Israeli settler was seen blocking a Palestinian farmer from ploughing his own land in Hebron, occupied West Bank.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

Our thuggish dictator-wannabe is also a buffoonish man-child who sits there in his breathtakingly tacky Oval Office with his fake face and fake hair, boasting about passing a simple dementia test that a 10-year-old could ace. trib.al/UTlGIXq

"The case is proceeding." South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says the US-backed agreement to end Israel's war on Gaza will have no bearing on his country’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/xhyzpq

Get ready for invasion of Venezuela by US, after years of punishing sanctions the oil rich country about to get the regime change operation, ironically endorsed by supposedly independent Nobel panel

Nobel Peace committee goes political with support for regime change in Venezuela...what were they thinking. Will they sponsor a Maidan style coup to topple a government??

see US today via Louis Theroux visits the Milwaukee police on BBCi player..fascinating if tragic.

If the USA implodes into civil war how might that affect the rest of the world? Would the Fuhrer stage a foreign war as a distraction?

Boris Johnson is facing calls to be stripped of the allowance given to former Prime Ministers over accusations he’s profited from contacts he made while in office.

Even Libdems want to gear up for war with Russia, no alternatives for UK voters?

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Ducklings swarm perceiving the guardian as a safety instinct.

A proposed 6% levy on international fees could take over £600 million a year from English universities, undermining their global standing and impacting London’s economy. To keep our city a world-class centre for education, we should be attracting talent, not putting up barriers.

Thank goodness pure English people never commit rapes or knife crimes....I am being sarcastic in the flood of anti immigrant hate speech being spread by media (even including Sky News)

Watching Ursula squirm as sits opposite the great conman and leader of mighty USA

I feel sick watching Ed Miliband attempting to justify the sky high cost of energy in the UK....he is the Minister in charge of the taxes and green subsidies piled onto everyones power bills!

Is there crowdfunding for legal support for those arrested over Palestine Action?

The UK government wants taxpayers to be on the hook for £18 billion SizewellB. Yet the gov. is terrified of nationalising Thames Water. But Thame's debt load is £17–20 billion—its equity value (if any) is nil. So give the bondholder a peppercorn and returns it into public ownership?

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act...

There’s a lot to be angry about with mainstream media. But the Wall Street Journal got personally and directly threatened by the President of the United States. And they said ‘fuck you’ and ran their well-sourced story anyway. Credit.

The London Review of Books publishes an article that its author admits – after the government's recent proscription of Palestine Action – "could be considered a criminal act and a terrorist document". Some might call this journalistic bravery. Read it here: archive.ph/R6UHh

NEW: The US government has added the DNA of approximately 133,000 migrant children and teens to a criminal database, which critics say could mean police treat them like suspects “indefinitely.”

why did this make me laugh

Canadian AI company Cohere has spent about $1 million in the last two years lobbying policy makers in Canada, the E.U., the U.S. and the U.K. in an attempt to shape AI rules. It’s received nearly a quarter of a billion dollars from Canada over the past seven months. theijf.org/cohere-inter...

Voters across racially and economically diverse neighborhoods in New York City embraced Zohran Mamdani, shocking the Democratic establishment.

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

To kill desperate families retrieving aid is indefensible. To deliberately starve civilians – women, children, the elderly – is immoral. To use water, fuel, food as tools of war is unconscionable. This cannot continue.

“How dare you justify a genocide on the Palestinians?” This is the moment Belgian politician and member of the Flemish Parliament, Jos D'Haese, slammed Israel’s ambassador to Belgium and Luxembourg, Idit Rosenzweig-Abu, over the war on Gaza.

Zohran Mamdani wins New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary after Cuomo concedes. If elected, the 33-year-old US democratic socialist would become the city’s first Muslim and Indian American mayor.
