In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Lisandro Martinez has just openly called out the club’s ownership for not investing in the squad. Wow.

The Glazers and Sir Jim Racist thrilled about the City announcement because the media focus has shifted away from them. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

You heard it from them first

Been a while…really enjoyed watching United last night, good to catch up with @thathenrywong.bsky.social too!

👀 MUST WATCH: This video is so well done — and absolutely hilarious! 🤣🤣

"We've done nothing wrong but the people who did it have been sacked for (not) doing it," is quite the defence. And is it just me or Does. Farage. Get. Even. More. Comically. Staccato when he's straining his own enormous capacity for lying?

This is a disgrace. For all the bollocks about Jim Ratcliffe wanting a shiny new stadium to be his legacy, his real legacy will be pricing out and pushing away long-standing season ticket holders from the club they’ve supported for decades.

Iowa Democratic Senate Candidate Josh Turek responds to Donald Trump calling him lazy.

Call your representatives and demand that they pressure the Israeli government restore the land to its original legal classification. The land of Khirbet Umm Al-Khair — like so much in the West Bank and mandate Palestine – belongs to the Palestinian residents who reside there.

After many years of listening to @smershpod.com x @johnrain.co.uk I signed up to ‘Smersh Patreon last week. Loads of brilliant eps here, I’m trawling through the MNC too, The TimeCop pod was a particular favourite (re title below)

Watching the World Cup final in Canada. Can clearly hear the boos on TV as trump comes out.

Sam Neill, "One of the secrets of life is to take what you do seriously. But never, never, take yourself seriously, and I never have" May you step into the next life with the same excitement and wonder that we all experienced when you first saw dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. RIP 🙏

I’m not reposting anything to do with R****M, but big up to @stanchow.bsky.social for immediately clamping down on the bigots

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Trump threatening a genocide in Iran is unacceptable, even if it leads to a ceasefire.

Bought a copy of “Volume” @petshopboys x @farrowlondon today in Manchester, brilliant collection of smart, funny and stylish artwork (and the story of their making) framing imperial PSB music.

JIm Ratcliffe is a scumbag. More than that he's a hypocrite. And dangerous. Words. open.substack.com/pub/nqatpod/...

Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.

Fuck you Jim

Yes it has Jim, and is all the better place for doing so…

Every American needs to watch this:

What happened in Minnesota today was not a mistake. It's a deliberate and inevitable outcome of ICE operations - part of the authoritarian script for state violence against citizens. Regime thugs target minorities Regime thugs kill protesters Regime exploits larger protests to escalate repression

Gov. Tim Walz to Minnesotans: “I’ll continue to plead and ask you for peace and I know the answer is, ‘You ask us for peace, and we give it, and we get shot in the face on the streets coming out of a doughnut shop.’ We cannot give them what they want.”

It's time to speak up.

There are loads of United pods around, but @gooddayspod.bsky.social is by far my favourite. Especially Justin’s graphic description of the difference between United and Liverpool in this weeks pod :-)
