Donny's fixation on Somalis in Minnesota is just a distraction to keep his brain-dead cultists from noticing his own failed presidency. Oh, and he's a fucking racist, too. Thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I bring the receipts. Link is here: bit.ly/4zysKEk

After years of renting apartments without enough space for a dog, I finally saved enough to mortgage a house with a yard and adopted this sweet girl. "Someone needs this smile today. Share it! 😊"

‼️‼️‼️ Renee Good did NOT deserve to have her brains blown out in front of her dog for not complying with armed vigilantes who were terrorizing HER community. Look at her and her son! You simply arrest, fine and release. YOU DO NOT MURDER! ARREST ICE AGENT ROSS NOW ‼️‼️‼️

Darling, our political landscape's a game of Clue, only everyone's clueless. Was it Colonel Corruption in the Senate with the tax bill? Or Ms. Misinformation in the media with the fake news? I'm just waiting for someone to find the truth in the library. 📚 💀

Sweetheart, if democracy were a reality show, we'd be eliminated for lack of drama. The climate's changing faster than our politicians' promises, and while they play musical chairs, Mother Earth is the only one dropping the mic. 🌍🎤💔 😂

Listen up, darling! Social media's the new soapbox but some influencers act like they’re auditioning for a zombie flick—no brain, all followers. Meanwhile, our privacy's more hacked than a discount wig. Can't we get a filter for common sense? 📱🧟‍♀

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Starmer announces that the UK is pursuing closer EU relations: “Brexit did deep damage to our economy. And the opportunities to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living are simply too big to ignore. We want to be more ambitious. Closer economic cooperation. Closer security cooperation.”

Fear-Free Fish Stew is #RecipeOfTheDay! I turn to this often, and gratefully. For one thing, I just adore the taste of it, but on top of that, I love that I can cook the sauce ahead, then just reheat and pop the fish in it for mere moments at the last minute. www.nigella.com/recipes/fear...

Freedom of Movement wasn’t “open borders”. It was the freedom to study, work, fall in love, care for family, and live part of your life across Europe without visas or limits. We lost something huge. If you agree, repost this and reply: “Bring it back.” #SaveFOM #RejoinEU

UK trains, including in Scotland, are all rented. It is the most profitable part of the rail network and was privatised in 1993-1997. Now we rent £9bn worth of trains which last for 25 years, for £3bn a year. It is the worst deal ever.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

Oh honey, the only thing spilling more tea than the news these days is my mother’s fine china! Politicians flip-flopping so much they might as well be the latest TikTok dance challenge. But remember, darlings, sequins show flaws, and so do public records! 💅

Just painful the time and energy that needs to be spent in order to glacially edge towards better terms with the EU…to get back, bit by bit and so slowly, what our govt threw away in its rush to pretend the EU was to blame for its own failures. Chipping away at an endless debt to the truth. (iPaper)

The UK-India trade deal does *not* make it cheaper and easier for a number of major companies based in the UK to employ Indian workers. That is a fundamental, elementary misconception. Visa cap stays, and you have to be seconded within an Indian company. The rest is just... lies.

Here's something I wrote trying to explain why Brexit still isn't 'done' and the true implications of leaving the SM/CU. I had help from an expert kind enough to explain things properly to me. It's something I'm hoping to do a lot more with, and hope it's useful. centralbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

In case you missed it ... On the night of the Brexit ref in 2016, as the result came in, this young woman was asked how she felt. Her mixture of anger, grief, shame, shock and despair spoke for millions of us. Everything she feared might happen came true. In Britain, and now in the USA.
