The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

We were too spineless to regulate these billionaire freaks, so now one of them gets to decide whether Ukrainian drones can catch the missiles aimed at Ukrainian kids. We have failed spectacularly.

Pass it on

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

"You fucking war criminal!" -- Hegseth's talk is interrupted again

For too long, successive governments have turned a blind eye to the huge damage caused by the Johnson-Farage Brexit deal. I really hope this marks a real turning point. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

With Trump’s latest betrayal of Ukraine, MAGA Republicans who continue to defend Trump when he licks Putin’s balls can all go fuck themselves. Trump is a feckless, pathetic traitor — and he has the blood of innocent Ukrainian children on his hands.

With deep sorrow and regret I must report that President Donald J. Trump did not win this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. I know how devastated all of you must be. But inevitably, someday, in the not-too-distant-future, he will give the world something much greater to celebrate.

George W. Bush had plenty of opportunities to speak up. January 6th. The January 6th Committee. Trump’s return to power. Mostly silence. But now he’s stepping back into politics to help Republican senators get reelected? Yeah. I have some thoughts.

The man who watched Covid ravage Italy and Europe and did NOTHING to protect the country. The man who caused tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. The man who let loose debauched parties at number 10 while he told the country it had to isolate. The grostesque shit should be in jail.

Just imagine...

We dont wont no Merrick Garland Congress ......

Time for some positive news …

🚨 NEW MAINE SENATE POLL: Troy Jackson (D) 50% Susan Collins (R) 42% Jackson leads Collins by 8 points among likely voters. And it’s not an outlier in direction: Jackson has led Collins in nearly every recent poll. Donate. Volunteer. Organize. Vote. Help Troy Jackson flip this Senate seat BLUE. 🔵

This is shocking. The Conservatives' new energy plan goes way past scrapping net zero – they actually want to put emissions up. After a summer of wildfires, it seems the Conservatives have completely given up on the environment and are just taking orders from Donald Trump.

A third straight poll shows us what we already know. No amount of billionaire money can overcome an organized movement of working Mainers fighting for an economy that works for us. Susan Collins should be very concerned.

Fascinating change in BBC news bulletins about Reform. Farage announcement on small boats only gets the third spot and is balanced by critics saying he's trying to distract from allegations over his finances. Quite the change from the uncritical coverage earlier this year.

Reform scores hat trick of losses in Manchester despite the hype, the polling and the noise around Farage. Over to you now, Clacton. Deal the killer blow and vote Count Binface in August. The country could do with the laugh. And without that grifting loser. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Infantino must go. No matter where it’s held, the World Cup belongs to the fans – not gangsters like Trump. We need someone who’ll finally kick corruption out of FIFA.

It’s sad that Trump is spending today attacking Senator Jon Ossoff on social media. Every holiday over the past few years has been filled with angry, divisive, and inflammatory posts instead of messages meant to bring Americans together. We miss having a leader who showed dignity, class, and grace!

How much more damage to our economy, may many more billions lost, how many more public services underfunded, till the UK get's a political leader who is honest with the public about the damage caused by Brexit and takes the UK back into the EU?

Some Republicans will try to distance themselves from Trump as the midterms near. Don't let them get away with it. They've enabled his cruelty, incompetence and corruption. And if they can con enough people in the midterms, they'll go back in lockstep w/ him afterward. Vote against all Republicans.

President Obama doesn’t command respect, he inspires it. He doesn’t shout about being the best, we can clearly see his greatness. These are things Trump will never understand or experience.

Aerial PARTIAL view of the anti racist, anti fascist crowd in Belfast right now. City Hall to the left for scale. This - this is the real Belfast. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Anyone else think that Fetterman will switch parties to R if the Democrats and Independents have a 51-49 victory majority in the Senate in November? A 50/50 tie will give the majority to the Republicans. We need a 52 majority to cancel him out. I do NOT trust him.

On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.

But here's the thing - he'll still be deeply unhappy. And friendless. And lonely. And a complete wanker.

You voted for Trump once? Everyone makes mistakes. You didn't learn the first time and voted for him again? People can start questioning your intelligence and judgement. You are still supporting him today? You are the worst type of human being there is as at this point, there is no excuses!

The way I see it, two things need to happen to save our democracy from Donald Trump: [1] Trump must be IMPEACHED and REMOVED. - Trump has to be held accountable, and not just as a formality. - We also need formal investigations into ALL members of his Executive Branch

Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons: 1) stay out of jail 2) exact revenge on his enemies 3) line his pockets Everything else he says is bullshit.

Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine last night shows the Kremlin’s brutality and disregard for both human life and peace negotiations. Terror against civilians is not strength. It's despair. We stand firmly with Ukraine, with further support on the way to reinforce its air defence systems.

Too many people have accepted Donald Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term. We cannot endure 29 more months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, wannabe dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

oh gr8 more months of politicians humming & hawing over whether Brexit has been disastrous for the UK rather than treating the public like adults and saying it’s been a disaster inflicted by Farage

the only time Article V has been invoked was in response to 9/11

So finally we know what “Brexit benefit” actually means.. A £5million payment to Farage. Our country is now deeply divided, poorer, unhappier, less influential, less secure, less welcoming and less democratic… But Farage is a multimillionaire. What a fucking disgrace.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are… Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.

Over a year ago Trump told Zelensky he didn’t have any cards & couldn’t last much longer against Putin. This year Trump told us he has all the cards against Iran so they were going to unconditionally surrender in 4-6 weeks. But Zelensky is still fighting. And Trump is folding.
